Clarified that the tonnage limits apply to the waste tables in the introduction. Table 2.1 and condition 2.3.5 have been amended to make it clear that the 75,000 tonnes limit for Table 2.3b, does not include soil and stones waste code 17 05 04. Table 2.3b has had the following waste codes included 02 01 01 soil from cleaning and washing vegetables, 02 03 01 soil from cleaning and washing vegetables and 02 04 01 soil from cleaning and washing beet. These waste codes were missing from the original published version. The heading for Table 2.3c has been changed to make it clear that it lists wastes which are subject to further limits. A link to the RPS that has extended the deadline for complying or applying for a permit for existing permit holders has been added.
