sch.2-sec.53Organic material processing

### sch.2-sec.53 Organic material processing Organic material processing (the relevant activity ) consists of operating a facility for processing, by way of composting or anaerobic digestion, more than 200t of organic material in a year. The relevant activity does not include— manufacturing mushroom growing substrate; or the composting of organic material from agriculture or livestock production if the organic material is either— composted at the site where it was produced; or transported to another site, where agriculture or livestock production is carried out, and composted at that site; or the anaerobic digestion of organic material at a facility— to which section 63 applies; or where an activity to which section 3 or 25 applies is carried out; or the composting of organic material at a site if an activity to which section 2 , 3 or 4 applies is carried out at the site. In the following table, the aggregate environmental score for the relevant activity is the score stated opposite the threshold within which the activity is carried out. Threshold Aggregate environmental score 3 processing more than 200t of organic material in a year— by composting the organic material 18 C by anaerobic digestion 16 C In this section— anaerobic digestion , of organic material, means the decomposition of the organic material by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. composting , of organic material, includes mixing the organic material to manufacture a soil conditioner. organic material means— animal matter, including, for example, dead animals, animal remains and animal excreta; or plant matter, including, for example, bark, lawn clippings, leaves, mulch, pruning waste, sawdust, shavings, woodchip and other waste from forest products; or organic waste. organic waste — includes the following— a substance used for manufacturing fertiliser for agricultural, horticultural or garden use; animal manure; biosolids; cardboard and paper waste; fish processing waste; food and food processing waste; grease trap waste; green waste; poultry processing waste; waste generated from an abattoir; but does not include— biosecurity waste; or clinical or related waste; or contaminated soil; or synthetic substances, other than synthetic substances to which paragraph (a) (i) applies.

(sch.2-sec.53-ssec.2) The relevant activity does not include— manufacturing mushroom growing substrate; or the composting of organic material from agriculture or livestock production if the organic material is either— composted at the site where it was produced; or transported to another site, where agriculture or livestock production is carried out, and composted at that site; or the anaerobic digestion of organic material at a facility— to which section 63 applies; or where an activity to which section 3 or 25 applies is carried out; or the composting of organic material at a site if an activity to which section 2 , 3 or 4 applies is carried out at the site.

Threshold Aggregate environmental score 3 processing more than 200t of organic material in a year— by composting the organic material 18 C by anaerobic digestion 16 C (sch.2-sec.53-ssec.4) In this section— anaerobic digestion , of organic material, means the decomposition of the organic material by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. composting , of organic material, includes mixing the organic material to manufacture a soil conditioner. organic material means— animal matter, including, for example, dead animals, animal remains and animal excreta; or plant matter, including, for example, bark, lawn clippings, leaves, mulch, pruning waste, sawdust, shavings, woodchip and other waste from forest products; or organic waste. organic waste — includes the following— a substance used for manufacturing fertiliser for agricultural, horticultural or garden use; animal manure; biosolids; cardboard and paper waste; fish processing waste; food and food processing waste; grease trap waste; green waste; poultry processing waste; waste generated from an abattoir; but does not include— biosecurity waste; or clinical or related waste; or contaminated soil; or synthetic substances, other than synthetic substances to which paragraph (a) (i) applies. - (a) manufacturing mushroom growing substrate; or - (b) the composting of organic material from agriculture or livestock production if the organic material is either— (i) composted at the site where it was produced; or (ii) transported to another site, where agriculture or livestock production is carried out, and composted at that site; or - (i) composted at the site where it was produced; or - (ii) transported to another site, where agriculture or livestock production is carried out, and composted at that site; or - (c) the anaerobic digestion of organic material at a facility— (i) to which section 63 applies; or (ii) where an activity to which section 3 or 25 applies is carried out; or - (i) to which section 63 applies; or - (ii) where an activity to which section 3 or 25 applies is carried out; or - (d) the composting of organic material at a site if an activity to which section 2 , 3 or 4 applies is carried out at the site. - (i) composted at the site where it was produced; or - (ii) transported to another site, where agriculture or livestock production is carried out, and composted at that site; or - (i) to which section 63 applies; or - (ii) where an activity to which section 3 or 25 applies is carried out; or - (a) animal matter, including, for example, dead animals, animal remains and animal excreta; or - (b) plant matter, including, for example, bark, lawn clippings, leaves, mulch, pruning waste, sawdust, shavings, woodchip and other waste from forest products; or - (c) organic waste. - (a) includes the following— (i) a substance used for manufacturing fertiliser for agricultural, horticultural or garden use; (ii) animal manure; (iii) biosolids; (iv) cardboard and paper waste; (v) fish processing waste; (vi) food and food processing waste; (vii) grease trap waste; (viii) green waste; (ix) poultry processing waste; (x) waste generated from an abattoir; but - (i) a substance used for manufacturing fertiliser for agricultural, horticultural or garden use; - (ii) animal manure; - (iii) biosolids; - (iv) cardboard and paper waste; - (v) fish processing waste; - (vi) food and food processing waste; - (vii) grease trap waste; - (viii) green waste; - (ix) poultry processing waste; - (x) waste generated from an abattoir; but - (b) does not include— (i) biosecurity waste; or (ii) clinical or related waste; or (iii) contaminated soil; or (iv) synthetic substances, other than synthetic substances to which paragraph (a) (i) applies. - (i) biosecurity waste; or - (ii) clinical or related waste; or - (iii) contaminated soil; or - (iv) synthetic substances, other than synthetic substances to which paragraph (a) (i) applies. - (i) a substance used for manufacturing fertiliser for agricultural, horticultural or garden use; - (ii) animal manure; - (iii) biosolids; - (iv) cardboard and paper waste; - (v) fish processing waste; - (vi) food and food processing waste; - (vii) grease trap waste; - (viii) green waste; - (ix) poultry processing waste; - (x) waste generated from an abattoir; but - (i) biosecurity waste; or - (ii) clinical or related waste; or - (iii) contaminated soil; or - (iv) synthetic substances, other than synthetic substances to which paragraph (a) (i) applies.
