uin	219999
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2015 answer text <p>The responsibility for meeting the obligations arising from an environmental permit for a waste management site lies with the operator. This includes the cost of clearing residual waste after a fire at a permitted waste site.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency may refuse an application for an environmental permit if it believes the site will not be operated in accordance with the environmental permit. Under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010, where the Environment Agency considers that an operator has contravened an environmental permit, it may serve an enforcement notice on the operator specifying the steps that must be taken to remedy the contravention. The Environment Agency also has the power to do works (or arrange for works to be done on its behalf) where it considers that the operation of a regulated facility involves a risk of serious pollution or if the commission of certain offences causes pollution.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Where it appears to the Environment Agency that any controlled waters are being or have been harmed or are likely to be harmed, the Environment Agency has the power to issue a notice requiring a “responsible person” to carry out specified works or operations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency also has the power under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to serve a notice on the occupier or owner of premises to remove waste that has been illegally deposited or to eliminate or reduce the consequences of its deposit.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Subject to the type and quantity of waste stored, waste site fire resilience is a matter for local Fire and Rescue Authorities. The Fire and Rescue Authorities do this through regular inspections and enforcement where necessary. Regular risk assessments are carried out in consultation with the local authority and other agencies, for example the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 13/01/2015 13:07:04 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson
