The Environment Agency (EA) have published a guidance document on how operators with a mobile plant landspreading permit and deployment can meet requirements of using mobile plant for landspreading waste to provide agricultural benefit or ecological improvement.

The general guidance is that:

Spreading waste to land must:

• be controlled by an environmental permit, regulatory position statement, low risk waste position or waste exemption
• result in agricultural benefit or ecological improvement
• be waste recovery, not waste disposal

Activities must not:

• endanger human health
• harm the environment by causing risk to groundwater, surface water, air, soil, plants or animals
• cause nuisance through noise or odours
• adversely affect the countryside or places of special interest
