Transfer of disposal licence
19 Transfer of disposal licence
A person or body acquiring an interest in operations giving rise to waste the discharge of which is the subject of a disposal licence may, within 30 days after acquiring that interest, apply for the transfer to him or it of that licence if it is not intended that the nature of the operations will be changed in any way that would alter the quality or quantity of the discharge the subject of the licence.
An application shall be made in writing to the Minister, and the applicant shall provide such information relevant to the application as the Minister may request.
Where the Minister approves the application, upon the applicant paying the appropriate fee set out in Schedule 2 and producing the current licence, the Minister shall endorse on the licence the date from which the transfer has effect, the name of the transferee and any further conditions that may be imposed in respect of the licence as so transferred, and the licence as so transferred shall have effect thereafter as if it had been so granted to the transferee in the first instance.
A person who —
intends to, and lawfully may, make application within the time limited by, and otherwise in accordance with, this regulation for the transfer of current disposal licence; or
is awaiting the determination of such an application,
may, pursuant to that licence, discharge or deposit any matter as if he were the holder of the licence as issued.
