CL:AIRE is pleased to announce the publication of a new FAQ on defining a Site of Origin under the Definition of Waste Code of Practice (DoW CoP).
Key points:
- A Site of Origin can be defined by a specific Planning Permission boundary, a detailed Remediation Strategy, an Environmental Permit Deployment Form, or other regulator-agreed parameters.
- Good practice, as demanded by the DoW CoP, involves considering environmental, social, and economic principles to ensure sustainable remediation and earthworks.
- For large or complex projects, it may be sensible to divide the site based on environmental sensitivities, geographic units, contamination presence, or work package timings.
For comprehensive guidance on defining a Site of Origin, please refer to the full list of FAQs here.
