Enforcement and Penalties
The Environment Agency and local government or council enforcement officers will enforce these regulations.
A person found guilty of an offence is liable, on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £50,000 or on indictment to an unlimited fine. Where a corporate body is guilty of an offence, individual liability also applies to directors, managers and other persons acting in a similar capacity.
The enforcement body may also issue a £300 fixed penalty notice if any person fails to produce a site waste management plan or any other record when required to do so by an enforcement officer.
