This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when you dewater waste bentonite slurry using a bentonite recirculation plant.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action when you fail to obtain an environmental permit, provided you comply with the requirements in this RPS.
This enforcement position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
