In order to comply with article 7 (1) of the Waste Management (Registration of Sewage Sludge Facility) Regulations 2010 (S.I. No. 32/2010) all operators of sewage sludge storage facilities, must register with the local authority for a Certificate of Registration to allow for the safe storage of treated sewage sludge in their functional area.
Each certificate that is issued has specific conditions that must be met, and each facility will be inspected and audited over the year. In addition, an annual environmental report must be submitted to Laois County Council each year, detailing how the facility performed over the previous 12 months.
