Guidance: Using waste codes for sludge materials: RPS 231
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to comply with an environmental permit for a waste operation or relevant waste exemption when you treat, store or spread sewage sludge and septic tank sludge to land.
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.
