(2) However, if a waste is described in Part 2 of Schedule 4, and it does not contain material that is hazardous waste as defined in Article 3(1)(a) to such an extent as to cause it to exhibit a hazardous characteristic described in Section B of Part 1 of Schedule 2, it is not to be regarded for the purposes of this Law as being subject to the Basel Convention ban. 9 Wastes to which the OECD control procedures apply (1) For the purposes of this Law, an OECD control procedure applies to a transboundary movement of waste if – (a) the movement is from an area under the national jurisdiction of a member State of the OECD to an area under the national jurisdiction of another member State of the OECD, for recovery; and (b) it is a movement to which any of paragraphs (2), (3), (4) and (5) applies. (2) If the waste is described in Part 1 of Schedule 5, the transboundary movement of waste is one to which the OECD Amber control procedure applies. (3) If the waste is described in Part 2 of Schedule 5, the transboundary movement of waste is one to which the OECD Green control procedure applies, unless it is contaminated by any other material to an extent that – (a) increases the risks associated with the waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for submission to the OECD Amber control procedure, when taking into account the criteria in Part 3 of Schedule 5; or (b) prevents the recovery of the waste in a manner that is environmentally sound, in which case the transboundary movement of waste is one to which the OECD Amber control procedure applies. (4) If the waste is a mixture of different wastes, and – (a) the mixture itself is not described in Schedule 5; (b) the OECD Amber control procedure applies to at least one of the wastes comprising the mixture, and that waste is present in the mixture in an amount that is more than minimal; and (c) the composition of the mixture does not impair its recovery in a manner that is environmentally sound, the transboundary movement of the mixture is one to which the OECD Amber control procedure applies. (5) If the waste is a mixture of different wastes, and – (a) the mixture itself is not described in Schedule 5; (b) the OECD Green control applies to each of the wastes comprising the mixture; and (c) the composition of the mixture does not impair its recovery in a manner that is environmentally sound, the transboundary movement of the mixture is one to which the OECD Green control procedure applies. (6) If a transboundary movement described in paragraph (1)(a) involves the Island, and the waste is not described in Schedule 5 – (a) the Committee shall identify the waste and notify the Secretary of State; and (b) where the waste exhibits a hazardous characteristic described in Section B of Part 1 of Schedule 2, this Law shall apply to the movement as if it were one to which the OECD Amber control procedure applies. PART 2 ADMINISTRATION 10 General regulatory objectives In carrying out its functions under this Law, the Committee shall have regard to the following objectives – (a) the minimizing of the generation of waste within the Island; (b) the adequacy, for the environmentally sound management of controlled wastes within the Island, of facilities used by persons who carry on activities relating to those wastes; (c) the taking, by those persons, of measures that are necessary to avoid or prevent pollution arising from such activities; and (d) compliance with international agreements, other international instruments and international obligations (including the OECD Decision) that relate to the transboundary movement of waste and are applicable to or binding on the Island. 11 States waste management policy In carrying out its functions under this Law, the Committee may also take into account any other policies for the time being of the States in respect of the management of wastes within the Island. 12 Operating considerations In carrying out its functions under this Law, the Committee shall have regard as far as is reasonably practicable to the following considerations – (a) the best techniques that are for the time being available and the best environmental practice that is for the time being recognized for the environmentally sound management of waste (including, where appropriate, clean technology); (b) a precautionary principle, by which if there are reasonable grounds for concern that any activity relating to waste may cause pollution or other harm to the environment, the Committee takes preventive measures in anticipation of the risk, whether or not there is conclusive evidence of a causal relationship between that activity and such pollution or other harm; (c) a cost principle in respect of pollution, by which the costs of preventing, controlling, reducing and eliminating pollution that may be caused or is caused by activities relating to waste are borne by the persons who cause or knowingly permit it. 13 Regulatory functions in respect of transboundary movements (1) For the purposes of this Law, the Committee shall within the Island be the competent authority in respect of – (a) the export of waste from the Island; and (b) the import of waste into the Island. (2) For the purposes of this Law, the Committee shall within the Island carry out the functions of the competent authority of transit on behalf of the Secretary of State. 14 Dissemination of information (1) The Committee shall publish reports of its activities under this Law. (2) The Committee shall also make available, for public inspection, the other information in its possession that is specified in Schedule 6, but this paragraph is subject to paragraph (6). (3) That information shall be available for inspection by any person during reasonable office hours, as soon as possible after it is requested and in any event within 28 days. (4) The Committee shall also provide facilities to enable persons inspecting the information to copy it.

(8) This Article is subject to Article 95. 15 Approved codes of practice (1) The Committee may by Order approve any code of practice for the purposes of this Law. (2) In exercising its powers under paragraph (1), the Committee shall have regard to the desirability of – (a) practical guidance for persons engaged in activities that relate to waste and may cause pollution; and (b) the promotion and encouragement of good practices by those persons for minimizing the generation of waste and avoiding, preventing, controlling, reducing or eliminating such pollution. 16 Consultation (1) Before the Committee determines any proposal specified in paragraph (2), it shall consult the Health and Social Services Committee and the Employment and Social Security Committee. (2) Paragraph (1) refers to a proposal to grant, vary or transfer a waste management licence, or a proposal for the surrender of such a licence. (3) Before the Committee determines any proposal relating to a waste management licence, or the registration of a waste carrier, it may consult any person or body other than one to whom paragraph (1) refers. 17 Public notice of proposals (1) Before the Committee determines any proposal described in Article 16(2), it shall comply with this Article. (2) The Committee shall publish in the Jersey Gazette a notice that – (a) states that a copy of the proposal will be available for inspection free of charge at a place specified in the notice; (b) specifies the period for which the proposal will be available for inspection (being a period of not less than 21 days beginning after the notice is published in the Jersey Gazette); (c) specifies times, during reasonable office hours, when the proposal may be inspected; and (d) explains that anyone may make representations in writing to the Committee in respect of the proposal at any time before the expiry of the 7 days following the period for inspection, and the Committee shall make a copy of the proposal available accordingly for inspection. (3) If the Committee is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the proposal does not have and is not likely to have any appreciable adverse effect on the environment, the Committee need not comply with paragraph (2).

(2) If – (a) for the purposes of consultation in accordance with Article 16(1), the Committee refers a proposal to another Committee that it is required by that paragraph to consult; and (b) that other Committee does not respond within 21 days after the proposal is referred to it, or within such longer time limit (if any) as may be agreed between the Environment and Public Services Committee and that Committee, the Environment and Public Services Committee may assume that the other Committee has no objection to the proposal, and proceed as if it had consulted that Committee in compliance with Article 16(1). (3) In paragraph (1), “the relevant date” means a date by which the applicant has done everything that he is required to do or may be required to do under this Law in respect of his application. 21 Consignment notes (1) Consignment notes – (a) for the internal movement of waste, for the purposes of Part 3; and (b) for the transboundary movement of waste, for the purposes of Part 4, shall be in the prescribed forms.

(2) This Article applies to each of the following activities, namely – (a) the deposit of controlled waste on any land; (b) the keeping of controlled waste on any land; (c) the treatment of controlled waste on any land, or by means of any mobile plant; and (d) the disposal or recovery of controlled waste on any land, or by means of any mobile plant. (3) The prohibition in paragraph (1) is subject to Article 24. (4) A person who deposits, keeps, treats, disposes of or recovers controlled waste in a manner that is likely to cause pollution shall be guilty of an offence. (5) Any person who is guilty of an offence under paragraph (1) or paragraph (4) shall be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to a fine, or both . 24 Exemptions from requirement for licence (1) If the Committee is satisfied that an activity described in Article 23(2) is of any one of the following kinds, namely – (a) an activity that is adequately controlled under another enactment; (b) an activity that consists of the deposit of controlled waste in quantities that are so small or so temporary as not to significantly endanger human health, the environment or flora or fauna; (c) an activity that consists of the treatment or disposal of controlled waste and does not significantly endanger human health, the environment or flora or fauna; or (d) an activity relating to household waste, the Committee may by Order declare that it is an activity to which the prohibition in Article 23(1) shall not apply if paragraph (3) of this Article is complied with. (2) The Committee may make an Order under paragraph (1) on such conditions (if any) as it specifies in the Order. (3) In particular, conditions imposed under paragraph (2) may – (a) require that an activity to which an Order relates must be registered; (b) specify maximum periods for which an activity to which an Order relates may be carried on; and (c) specify maximum amounts of waste that may be stored at a place where an activity to which an Order relates is carried on (whether or not all of those wastes are controlled wastes), but this paragraph does not limit the generality of paragraph (2). (4) While an Order under paragraph (1) of this Article is for the time being in force in respect of an activity, and – (a) the person carrying on the activity is either the owner of the land on which the activity is carried on, or has the permission of the owner of that land to carry it on there; and (b) the person carrying on the activity complies with the conditions (if any) on which the Order is made, the prohibition in Article 23(1) shall not apply in respect of that activity.

(3) If the applicant is not the owner of the land, an application for the grant of a waste management licence shall also be accompanied by the written undertaking of the owner (in a form that is legally binding on the owner and the owner’s successors in title) to allow the applicant to carry out such future works on the land as the Committee may under this Law require him to carry out, for the avoidance of pollution arising from the activity to which the licence relates or for the protection of the environment. (4) If an application is for the transfer of a waste management licence – (a) it shall be made jointly by the licensee and the person to whom it is proposed to transfer the licence; and (b) it shall be supported by such evidence, undertaking and such other documents as the proposed transferee would be required to produce if he were applying for the grant of a waste management licence. (5) For the purposes of paragraph (4)(b), the Committee may accept evidence and documents that have been produced to it on any previous application. 27 Determination of application for licence (1) The Committee shall grant an application for a waste management licence if, but only if – (a) the application is made in accordance with this Law; (b) the Committee is satisfied that the applicant is fit to hold the licence; and (c) the Committee is satisfied that the activity to which the application relates would not involve a risk of pollution that cannot be effectively dealt with by imposing conditions in the licence. (2) If it grants the application, the Committee shall specify – (a) the activity that may be carried on in accordance with the licence; and (b) the land on which the activity may be carried on in accordance with the licence.

(2) There shall be a right of appeal, in accordance with Article 97, against the refusal of the Committee to vary a licence in accordance with the application for variation. 33 Variation of licence on initiative of Committee (1) Subject to the other provisions of this Law, if the Committee considers on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to vary any term or condition of a waste management licence (other than a condition specified in Article 28(1)) – (a) because the activity to which the licence relates is causing pollution or may do so, and it is practicable to deal with the matter effectively by so varying that term or condition; or (b) in order to take proper account of evolving scientific knowledge or changes in environmental standards, the Committee shall of its own motion vary that term or condition. (2) If the Committee considers on reasonable grounds that – (a) it is desirable to vary any term or condition of a waste management licence (other than a condition specified in Article 28(1)); and (b) the proposed variation is unlikely to cause the licensee unreasonable expense, the Committee may of its own motion vary that term or condition. (3) If the Committee proposes to vary a waste management licence under this Article – (a) it shall serve a notice in writing on the licensee, describing its proposal and telling him that he may make representations about it in writing to the Committee within 21 days after the notice is served on him; and (b) it shall consider all representations so made by him, before deciding whether to vary the licence.

(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply in respect of waste that is derived from the normal operations of a ship, the discharge of which is covered by an international instrument other than the Basel Convention. 59 Contractual obligations (1) A transboundary movement of waste to which a standard control procedure applies shall not be made unless, before the commencement of the movement, the consignor and the consignee have entered into a binding contract between themselves that includes the following obligations – (a) both parties must be bound to comply throughout the duration of the movement with that standard control procedure in respect of the movement; (b) the consignee must be bound to dispose of or recover the consignment, in accordance with the method specified in the consignment note and in a manner that is environmentally sound, within 180 days after he receives the consignment; (c) the consignee must be bound to deliver to the consignor and to each of the competent authorities concerned, as soon as possible and in any event within 180 days after the consignee receives the consignment, a certificate confirming that the waste has been disposed of or recovered in accordance with sub-paragraph (b); and (d) the consignor must be bound to take back the consignment at his own expense, if it is not delivered to and accepted by the consignee and the consignor is required to take it back by a competent authority concerned. (2) If the transboundary movement of waste is one to which the OECD Amber control procedure applies, the contract must also include the following provisions – (a) the contract must identify each person by whom the waste is generated, each person who will have the legal control of the waste during the course of the movement, and the recovery facility to which the waste is to be delivered; (b) each person who is a party to the contract must be bound in respect of the movement to comply with the OECD Decision; (c) the contract must specify the party who is responsible for the alternative management of the waste if the movement cannot be completed in accordance with the contract; and (d) if the movement cannot be completed in accordance with the contract and the waste is consequently to be re-exported to another country, the contract must specify the party who is responsible for notifying the competent authorities of the original country of dispatch and of the country to which it is to be re-exported, and instead of the obligation in paragraph (1)(c), the contract must bind the consignee to deliver to the consignor, within 30 days after the waste has been recovered in accordance with the method specified in the consignment note and in any event within one year after the consignee receives the consignment, a certificate confirming that the waste has been so recovered. 60 Financial security (1) A transboundary movement of waste to which a standard control procedure applies shall not be made unless the consignor has provided financial security to ensure that, in the event that the delivery of the consignment and the disposal or recovery of the waste cannot be completed in accordance with the contract between the consignor and the consignee and with the consignment note, there will be available to the competent authorities concerned sufficient funds to ensure – (a) that the consignment can be returned to the country of dispatch; or (b) that it can be dealt with by alternative arrangements that are themselves in accordance with the respective laws of each country concerned. (2) In this Article, “financial security” means a cash deposit, bond or other realizable form of security that can be realized or released only by the Committee or by another competent authority concerned. (3) If the Committee is holding any financial security under this Part in respect of a transboundary movement of waste and it receives in accordance with this Part a certificate of disposal or recovery in respect of the waste, the Committee shall return or release the security to the person by whom it was provided, so far as – (a) it relates to that waste; and (b) it is not required for the satisfaction of any expenses that have already been incurred by the Committee, or by any other competent authority concerned, in dealing with the waste under this Part. 61 Good practice (1) Waste that is the subject of a transboundary movement must be packaged, labelled and carried in conformity with generally recognized and accepted international rules, standards and practice.

(2) The conditions to which paragraph (1) refers are as follows – (a) the waste that is to comprise each consignment must possess the same physical and chemical characteristics; (b) the consignments must be intended for shipment by the same consignor to the same consignee, through the same customs points in the countries of dispatch and destination; (c) the consignments must be intended for delivery to the same site in the country of destination; (d) the consignment note that the Committee has received must specify the period during which it is proposed to make the consignments; (e) the consignment note that the Committee has received must specify the dates of the proposed consignments, if those dates are known; and (f) the Committee must be satisfied that each other competent authority concerned will agree to prior notification of the multiple consignments in the manner described in this Article (for which purpose, in agreeing to accept that consignment note as prior notification of each of the consignments, the Committee may do so on the condition that each other competent authority concerned does so). (3) The period to which paragraph (2)(d) refers shall not exceed 12 months. (4) If – (a) the Committee has for the time being agreed under this Article to accept a consignment note as prior notification of a transboundary movement in multiple consignments; (b) each other competent authority concerned has for the time being also agreed to do so; and (c) the consignor complies with paragraph (5) in respect of each consignment, the consignor need not comply with the requirements of this Part for the prior notification of a transboundary movement in respect of any of the consignments to which the Committee’s agreement relates except the first consignment. (5) However, each consignment note relating to a consignment other than the first shall be marked and numbered – (a) so as to show on its face that it is one of multiple consignments made under the same notification, and so as to show which of those consignments it is chronologically; and (b) so as to identify the original consignment note by which prior notification of the multiple consignments was given. (6) The Committee may at any time, on reasonable notice to the consignor, each other competent authority concerned, and the consignee, withdraw its agreement under this Article. 63 Recognized traders (1) The Committee may in writing, on the written application of any fit person, recognize him as a trader for the purposes of transboundary movements.

Section B: Hazardous characteristics UN Code Characteristics Class* 1 H1 Explosive substances or wastes An explosive substance or waste is a solid or liquid substance or waste (or mixture of substances or wastes) that is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings. 3 H3 Flammable liquids The word “flammable” has the same meaning as “inflammable”. Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (for example, paints or varnishes, lacquers, but not including substances or wastes otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics) that give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than 60.5 o C, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6 o C, open-cup test. (Because the results of open-cup tests and of closed-cup tests are not strictly comparable and individual results even by the same test are often variable, results varying from the above figures to make allowance for such differences are within the scope of this definition.) 4.1 H4.1 Flammable solids Solids, or waste solids, other than those classed as explosives, that under conditions encountered in transport are readily combustible, or may cause or contribute to fire through friction. 4.2 H4.2 Substances or wastes liable to spontaneous combustion Substances or wastes that are liable to spontaneous heating under normal conditions encountered in transport, or to heating up on contact with air, and are then liable to catch fire. 4.3 H4.3 Substances or wastes that, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Substances or wastes that, by interaction with water, are liable to become spontaneously flammable or to give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities. 5.1 H5.1 Oxidizing substances or wastes Substances or wastes that, while in themselves not necessarily combustible, may (usually by yielding oxygen) cause or contribute to the combustion of other materials. * Corresponds to the hazard classification system included in the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (ST/SG/AC.10/1/Rev.5, United Nations, New York, 1988). 5.2 H5.2 Organic peroxides or wastes Organic substances or wastes that contain the bivalent-O-O- structure and are thermally unstable substances that may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition. 6.1 H6.1 Poisonous substances or wastes Substances or wastes that are liable either to cause death or serious injury or harm to human health if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact. 6.2 H6.2 Infectious substances Substances or wastes containing viable micro-organisms or their toxins that are known or suspected to cause disease in animals or humans. 9 H8 Corrosives Substances or wastes that, by chemical action, will cause severe damage when in contact with living tissue, or, in the case of leakage, will materially damage or even destroy other goods or the means of transport (whether or not they may cause other hazards). 9 H10 Liberation of toxic gases in contact with air or water Substances or wastes that, by interaction with air or water, are liable to give off toxic gases in dangerous quantities. 9 H11 Toxic substances or wastes delayed or chronic Substances or wastes that, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may involve delayed or chronic effects, including carcinogenicity. 9 H12 Ecotoxic substances or wastes Substances or wastes that, if released, present or may present immediate or delayed adverse impacts to the environment by means of bioaccumulation and/or toxic effects upon biotic systems. 9 H13 Other substances or wastes Substances or wastes, that, by any means, are capable after disposal of yielding another material (for example, leachate) that possesses any of the characteristics listed above. Part 2 – Hazardous waste by national definition Any waste that is the subject of a transboundary movement (whether or not it is hazardous waste within the meaning of Part 1 of this Schedule), if it is defined or considered to be a hazardous waste by the domestic legislation of the country of dispatch or any country of transit or the country of destination.

SCHEDULE 8 (Articles 49(1); 65(1); 69(1); 71(1)) Control procedures for the movement of waste Introduction: 1. This Schedule sets out the standard control procedures for internal movements of waste and transboundary movements of waste. These procedures require that – (a) prior notification of a proposed movement; (b) all necessary approvals for the proposed movement; and (c) the history of the actual movement itself, are recorded on a consignment note. 2. There is a prescribed form of consignment note for internal movements, and there is also a prescribed form of consignment note for transboundary movements. 3. A consignment note for an internal movement or for the export of waste from the Island may only be obtained from the Committee, and a consignment note for any other transboundary movement may only be obtained from the Committee or from the appropriate competent authority of another country involved in the movement. 4. A consignment note is issued in copies, so that the following steps can be taken at the appropriate stages in the standard control procedures – (a) At each stage of the movement, the relevant part of each available copy of the consignment note is completed and signed by the persons involved. Accordingly, a requirement in a standard control procedure to “sign” any part of a consignment note is a requirement to complete and sign that part of the note. (b) One copy each is retained by the Committee, the consignor and every carrier who takes part in the movement. (c) In the case of a transboundary movement, one copy is also retained by each of the overseas authorities to whom it must be sent. (d) Two copies are received by the consignee, on accepting delivery. He is then to return one of his copies, showing the full history of the movement, to the authority by which the movement was approved. He is to retain the other copy, which must also show the full history of the movement. 5. In this Schedule, references to a consignment note are to a consignment note in sufficient copies to enable the relevant standard control procedure to be complied with. 6.(1) Any consent that is given by the Committee in respect of an internal movement of waste shall cease to have effect after the expiry of the following period of time – (a) if the consent relates to a single consignment, the period of 30 days following the day on which the Committee gives its consent or, if the Committee specifies a shorter period in its consent, that shorter period; or (b) if the consent relates to repeated consignments, the period of 12 months following the day on which the Committee gives its consent or, if the Committee specifies a shorter period in its consent, that shorter period. (2) Any consent or agreement to proceed that is given or may be taken to have been given by the Committee or by any other competent authority concerned, in respect of a transboundary movement of waste to which the OECD Amber control procedure applies, shall cease to have effect on the expiry of the following period of time – (a) if the consent or agreement is given in writing, the period of 12 months following the date on which the competent authority of import has acknowledged receipt of its copy of the consignment note; or (b) if the consent or agreement is tacit (i.e., where it may be assumed) the period of 12 months following the date from which it may be taken to have been given.

Notice of repeated movements (1) If a consignor proposes to make repeated consignments of waste, the notification under paragraph 1 may also relate to any of the other proposed movements that are to be made within a period that is not longer than 12 months from the date on which the Committee consents to the first movement. (2) However, a single notification of repeated consignments may only be made in respect of waste that possesses the same physical and chemical characteristics, and the consignments are by way of internal movement to the same consignee at the same site and so as to be dealt with in the same way. 3. Action by Committee on receiving notice of proposed movement (1) When the Committee receives a consignment note in accordance with paragraph 1, it shall within 5 working days take one of the following steps in accordance with this Law – (a) it shall return the consignment note to the consignor, endorsed with the Committee’s unconditional consent to the movement or movements; (b) it shall return the consignment note to the consignor, endorsed with the Committee’s consent to the movement or movements upon conditions specified in the endorsement; (c) it shall return the consignment note to the consignor, endorsed with the Committee’s refusal to consent to the movement or movements; or (d) it shall by a notice in writing request the consignor to clarify the information provided by him, or request further information from him, to enable it to decide whether or not to consent. (2) If the Committee returns the consignment note to the consignor, the Committee shall itself retain one copy of the note as endorsed by it. 4. Cases in which Committee may withhold decision (1) The Committee may withhold its decision in respect of a movement as long as it reasonably requires clarification of any information given by the consignor, or any more information from him, in order to enable it to discharge its functions under this Law. (2) For the purposes of this paragraph, the Committee may from time to time by notice in writing make further requests to the consignor for clarification or additional information. (3) However, if – (a) the Committee obtains such clarification or additional information; or (b) it does not reasonably require clarification or additional information, the Committee shall then within 5 working days take one of the steps specified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 3(1). 5.

(2) The Committee may under paragraph 3 refuse to consent to a movement – (a) if it considers on reasonable grounds that the movement is unnecessary; or (b) if it considers on reasonable grounds that the movement is undesirable because it would give rise to a serious risk of pollution. (3) If the Committee refuses to consent to a movement, but subsequently considers that the reasons for its refusal no longer apply, it may in accordance with paragraph 3 consent to the movement unconditionally or conditionally. 7. Cases in which Committee must consent to movement The Committee shall consent under paragraph 3 to a movement unless – (a) it is required under paragraph 5 to refuse its consent; (b) it may under paragraph 6 refuse its consent; or (c) it has under paragraph 3(1)(d) requested the clarification of information, or additional information, and it is entitled for the time being under paragraph 4 to withhold its decision. 8.

(2) If the Committee subsequently considers that the reasons for a condition no longer apply, it may revoke that condition. (3) If the Committee under sub-paragraph (2) revokes a condition – (a) the Committee shall notify the consignor in writing; and (b) on receipt of that notice, the consignor shall in writing immediately notify every carrier who is either in possession of the waste or is still to take delivery of the waste, and the consignee, that the condition has been revoked. 9.
