About this statute

This Order sets special rules for burying toxic waste. Toxic wastes listed in the annex may not be buried unless done in accordance with this Order. The toxic-waste list must be reviewed when needed, burying listed toxic wastes is forbidden except under the Order’s conditions, and the environment minister may order burial of newly identified toxic wastes after research shows they belong on the list. Anyone seeking authorization to bury toxic wastes must apply in writing to the Rwanda Environment Authority. An applicant for authorization to bury toxic wastes must receive a yes-or-no response within 20 days, and any refusal must state the reasons.
