This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal obligation to have an environmental permit when you store or physically treat metal shredder residues that are hazardous waste.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement when you store or physically treat hazardous metal shredder residues with a permit that does not include the correct waste codes if you meet the requirements in this RPS.

This regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
