CBI MWD workshop

CBI Minerals Group to organize workshop highlighting the practical aspects of complying with the Mining Waste Directive (MWD)

THE deadline for permit applications to the Environment Agency for mining waste operations on existing sites is 30 December 2010 – but this is extended to 1 May 2011 for the continued operation of a waste facility.

Operators will first need to decide whether they are managing extractive waste on each of their sites and the CBI Minerals Group has developed guidance in conjunction with the EA setting out a straightforward process for doing this. These assessments need to be made and agreed with the EA before the relevant permit application deadline.

To help with the process, the CBI is hosting a half-day workshop at the CBI Conference Centre, Centre Point, London, on 11 October 2010, which will highlight the practical aspects of complying with the Mining Waste Directive.

Chaired by Nigel Jackson, chairman of the CBI Minerals Group, the event – which is aimed at those who will be responsible for ensuring their organization complies with the directive – represents a good opportunity to learn about the new permitting process that will shortly impact on all mining and quarrying operations. EA experts will also be on hand to deal with any particular queries on a one-to-one basis.
