TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
Due to technical problems lasts weeks Newsonline was not received by all members and we apologise for this. Contents of last week’s newsletter are included within this edition.
MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS 2007
Members are reminded that subscriptions for 2007 became due on 1st January. If you have not paid your fees please could you do so ASAP so that we do not have to send you reminder letters. The easiest way to pay is by direct debit and you can download a form from the members area of the website www.ciwm.co.uk/pm/72. Paying by this method greatly reduces the Institution’s costs and means you won’t forget to pay in future years. You can also pay your fees by credit card in the member’s area.
If we do not receive payment by the end of February you will stop receiving this newsletter and other CIWM services.
ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING GUIDANCE
Defra has issued a third consultation document providing guidance on a new environmental permitting system for England and Wales. The new system will streamline and combine waste management licensing and Pollution Prevention Control Permits into a common permitting approach. Permits will be able to cover multiple operations being carried out on an operator’s site, with existing permits and licenses automatically transferring to Environmental Permits.
See www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/envpermitprog3/index.htm
Comments for inclusion within a CIWM response should be sent to Michael.day@ciwm.co.uk
