  3. EPA 1990 • To prevent pollution from emissions to air, land or water from scheduled processes the concept of integrated pollution control has been introduced. • Authorisation to operate the relevant processes must be obtained from the enforcing authority which, for the more heavily polluting industries, is HM Inspectorate of Pollution. • Control of pollution to air from the less heavily polluting processes is through the local authority.

  4. EPA 1990 • Regulations also place a 'duty of care' on all those involved in the management of waste, be it collecting, disposing or treating Controlled Waste which is subject to licensing. • In addition to extending the Clean Air Acts by including new measures to control nuisances, the Regulations introduce litter control; amend the Radioactive Substances Act 1960; regulate genetically modified organisms; regulate the import and export of waste; regulate the supply, storage and use of polluting substances and allow the setting up of contaminated land registers by the local authority. • In 1991 the Water Act 1989 that controlled the pollution and supply of water was replaced by five separate Acts
