This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when you treat waste filter bed media at water and waste water treatment works.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
