Waste has the meaning ascribed to it in section 75 of the EPA and in the Waste Framework Directive 2006 together with the attendant subordinate legislation Waste Collection Authority or WCA means a waste collection authority pursuant to section 30(3)(a) of the EPA, and for the purposes of this IAA means Broxbourne Borough Council, Dacorum Borough Council, East Hertfordshire District Council, Hertsmere Borough Council, North Hertfordshire District Council, St Albans District Council, Stevenage Borough Council, Three Rivers District Council, Watford Borough Council, Welwyn Xxxxxxxx Borough Council. During FY2009, SWM disposed offsite 407 cubic meters of MLLW.Waste treatment facility means the facility or facilities procured through the Residual Waste Disposal Contract Re-Use The use of waste items for their original or for another purpose without reprocessing Review a General Review, Annual Review or Periodic Review Review Meetings the meetings described in clause 16 Review Notice the notice described in clause 16 Review Procedure the procedures for notifying Minor Changes, serving notifications and for carrying out Reviews, as set out in clause 16 and SCHEDULE 10 ( REVIEW PROCEDURES) Revised Waste Framework Directive sets a framework for waste management in the EU, promoting both reuse and recycling, including energy recovery as a recovery activity within a revised waste management hierarchy Terminating WCA the WCA described in clause 19 Trade Waste the element of commercial waste that is collected from business premises by the WCAs pursuant to the WCAs’ statutory obligations under section 45(1)(b) of the EPA Trade Waste Recharge the amounts payable by the WCA to WDA in accordance with clause 11 and SCHEDULE 3 (TRADE WASTE RECHARGE) Unitary Charge Payments made to the Residual Waste Disposal Contractor for the provision of waste treatment and disposal services. Mixed Low Level Waste (MLLW) is waste that is both radioactive and hazardous. This type of waste is subject to regulations governing both waste types. In FY2009, the Mixed Low Level Waste program met all of its Site Treatment Plan commitments. The Site Treatment Plan represents an agreement among SWM, the Department of Energy, and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to properly treat SRS’s mixed waste on a specified schedule. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act defines hazardous waste as any toxic, corrosive, reactive or ignitable material that could damage the environment or negatively affect human health. Some examples of SRS hazardous waste include oils, solvents, acids, metals, and pesticides. In FY2009, SWM disposed 179 cubic meters of hazardous waste at Environmental Protection Agency-regulated offsite treatment and disposal facilities. Low Level Waste is any radioactive waste not classified as high level or TRU waste. Examples include slightly contaminated soil, D&D debris, protective clothing, job-control waste, equipment, tools, filters, rags and papers. In FY2009, 5,476 cubic meters of solid Low Level Waste were accepted for on-site disposal. In FY2009, 115 shipments including over 490 cubic meters of legacy TRU waste was shipped to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico. TRU wastes can include equipment, protective clothing and tools used in the production and management of these radionuclides. It contains man-made elements that are heavier than uranium and decay slowly, thus requiring thousands of years of isolation. Transuranic (TRU) waste is waste contaminated with radioactive isotopes that have decay rates and activities exceeding defined levels.
