Protection of the Environment (POE) Act 2003
The Protection of the Environmental Act is an important and wide-ranging piece of legislation designed to prevent damage or degradation to our environment. It sets out legal obligations for the collection, disposal and treatment of controlled waste. It also deals with issues for licensing all waste management sites. Initial Medical Services is fully licensed in compliance with the Act.
- increased emphasis on energy efficiency in the carrying out of activities,
- provision for the revocation or suspension of licences,
- a greater emphasis on pollution prevention in the licensing system and on minimising environmental problems at source,
- a clear legal basis for compliance with the requirements of EU Directive 80/68/EEC on the protection of groundwater against pollution by certain dangerous substances through the IPPC licensing process
- a comprehensive provision empowering the EPA to determine that, where a waste activity is carried on in a facility connected or associated with an IPPC activity, a licence under one of these regulatory codes, but not both, will be required,
- a power for any person to seek a High Court order where an activity is being carried out in contravention of licensing requirements
