§ Mr. MorleyWaste incineration processes are currently in a period of transition from integrated pollution control to the pollution prevention and control requirements of the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 and the Waste Incineration Directive. These impose new, tighter, requirements for the monitoring and control of emissions from waste incinerators. The new requirements for the Waste Incineration Directive must be in place by 28 December 2005. Local Authorities and the Environment Agency will be responsible for implementing and enforcing these new requirements.
