Statute overview

About this statute

An authorization for a new landfill, or for expanding or changing an existing one, must include specified operating and monitoring details. The landfill operator must also follow the waste admission procedure and report annually to the competent authority. La entidad explotadora del vertedero debe fijar un precio que cubra al menos sus costes de establecimiento, explotación, garantías, clausura y mantenimiento posterior, y debe presentar una actualización del análisis económico al menos cada cinco años. Las administraciones públicas deben velar por la transparencia de la información sobre esos costes. Before waste is accepted at a landfill, the waste holder and landfill operator must be able to prove admissibility with proper documents; the operator must also run reception checks, keep records, issue receipts, report annually, and notify authorities if waste is refused. The landfill operator must run monitoring and control during operation, report significant environmental harm quickly, follow the competent authority’s corrective-action decision, pay for corrective measures, report monitoring results at least annually, and use competent laboratories for analytical operations. The landfill operator may start closure only when the authorization conditions are met and the competent authority authorizes it or decides so; after final closure, the operator must maintain and monitor the site for the post-closure period, notify serious environmental effects, and follow corrective-measure decisions.
