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
