New legislation Update:

• Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009

  This regulation requires businesses to take responsibility for and report any environmental damage to land, water or biodiversity caused by their activities. If you or your business undertakes an activity that causes environmental damage, you will have to remedy the change. There is a vital need for all organisations to be aware of what changes they may need to make.

• Environmental Liability Directive

  The Directive seeks to achieve the prevention and remedying of environmental damage. This Directive reinforces the "polluter pays" principle - making operators financially liable for threats of or actual damage. The Directive aims to stop damage to habitats and species protected by EC law, and to species or habitat on a site of special scientific interest for which the site has been notified, damage to water resources, and land contamination which presents a threat to human health.

• Waste Controls (England and Wales) Regulations 2009

  Anticipated to come into force in October 2009, the Waste Controls (England and Wales) Regulations 2009 will replace several pieces of existing legislation with one consolidated regulation. The new regulations will:
  - simplify the existing waste regulations and make them more effective
  - require waste brokers and dealers to register with the Environment Agency
  - set out requirements for transfer notes
  - control the seizure of vehicles by regulatory authorities
