|
|
This Manual is intended for use by Environment Agency (the Agency) permitting, environment management and enforcement staff, as well as by abstractors. It covers the measurement by meter of water in closed conduits which has been abstracted under licences administered by the Agency. The manual has the following main objectives. To provide guidelines on abstraction measurement, which are common across all regions of the Agency; To instruct Agency permitting, environment management and enforcement staff on good practice for metering water abstraction. This applies both to new applications and to existing installations; To provide a reference work for abstractors, manufacturers, fabricators, installers and contractors; To recommend appropriate accuracy standards for all types of abstraction measurement; and To improve the standard of accuracy of abstraction measurement.

Aggregates from Inert Waste - Quality Protocol for the Production of Aggregates from Inert Waste
|
|
This quality protocol provides a uniform control process for aggregate producers, from which they can reasonably state and demonstrate that their product has been fully recovered and is no longer a waste. It also provides purchasers with a quality-managed product to common aggregate standards, which increases confidence in performance. Also, the framework created by the Protocol provides a clear audit trail for those responsible for ensuring compliance with Waste Management Legislation. Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), Quarry Products Association (QPA) and Highways Agency.

Agricultural Waste Regulations - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
|
|
This question and answer brief is a living document and has been compiled by Defra, in consultation with the Environment Agency and the Agricultural Waste Stakeholders Forum. It has been compiled to address questions related to the Waste Management (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006 No. 937) which come into force from 15 May 2006. Because the main subject of the Regulations is agricultural waste, they are often referred to as the Agricultural Waste Regulations. The Q and A briefing does not purport to provide definitive legal advice on the Regulations or waste management legislation generally it is intended only as a helpful guide to some of the main issues.

Anaerobic Digestion: Accelerating the Uptake of Anaerobic Digestion in England: an Implementation Plan (PB13394)
|
|
This Anaerobic Digestion Implementation Plan provides a framework for action by Government and partners in the public and private sector to accelerate the uptake of anaerobic digestion in England. It sets out actions to address opportunities and challenges. Anaerobic digestion can make an important contribution to tackling climate change and other environmental challenges, such as diffuse water pollution. Anaerobic digestion produces renewable energy by harnessing the natural process whereby organic matter is broken down by bacteria in the absence of oxygen to produce biogas. This methane-rich gas can be used to generate heat and power, or as a transport fuel - either locally or injected into the gas grid. Defra, PB13394, 2010.
