	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>As part of the environmental permit application, and before any hydraulic fracturing can take place, operators must submit a waste management plan to the Environment Agency for approval. This describes the processes and the types of extractive waste that will be generated at the site. The plan must set out how the operator will manage, minimise, reuse, recycle and dispose safely of the extractive waste, and how they will monitor the extractive waste.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 08/05/2019 15:02:53 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2019 answer text <p>There are five sites in England with the necessary permits to treat all variations of waste water content generated from hydraulic fracturing. In addition, there are other sites around the country which, subject to obtaining the relevant permits, could accept and treat waste water from hydraulic fracturing.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 07/05/2019 16:06:23 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2019 answer text <p>The UK shale gas industry is at the very early stages of exploration and we do not yet know how much shale gas it will be possible to technologically and commercially extract from UK shale reserves. In order to determine the potential of the industry and the benefits it could bring the UK, we need exploration to go ahead, and Government encourages this. Further exploration will be needed to determine the number of landfill sites required to dispose of waste water sludge, sand and filter cake which would be created by future shale gas development. Future waste treatment capacity and its expansion to meet hydraulic fracturing needs is a matter for the industry.</p><p> </p><p>Under Environmental Permitting Regulations, shale gas operators are required to check the capacity of appropriate waste disposal facilities. If operators cannot demonstrate an appropriate disposal route to the Environment Agency during the environmental permitting process, it is likely to refuse their application.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 07/05/2019 16:06:16 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

Both businesses proposing to explore for oil and gas using hydraulic fracturing, and operators carrying out treatment of any wastes generated, require environmental permits from the Environment Agency, which are subject to a detailed site-specific assessment. The permits set legally binding conditions on how activities are carried out so that the local environment is protected.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 07/05/2019 16:05:51 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
