Article I Preliminary

1) Definitions

disposal means the discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking or placing of any waste into or on any land or water so that such waste or any constituent thereof may enter the environment or be emitted into the air or discharged into any waters, including ground waters. Competent Agency where referenced, refers to the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment or its designated representative. generator is a commercial or industrial organisation which produces or stores trackable waste and arranges for this waste to be sent for storage, recycling, treatment or disposal at another location via an authorised transporter. GER refers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabias General Environmental Regulations 2001. hazardous waste is a waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health and/or the environment. hazardous waste generator means any person(s), whose activities or processes produce hazardous waste identified or listed in the Waste Classification Standard. hazardous waste code means the code assigned by PME to each hazardous waste, constituent or property listed in the Waste Classification Standard, Appendix A Table 1, Appendix B Table 2 or Appendix C Table 3. ID number is the identification number issued by the Competent Agency to storage, treatment and disposal facility operators of hazardous waste. KSA refers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. PME refers to the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment who are designated as the responsible authority for the protection of the environment and the development of environmental protection standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. recycling is the separation and collection of wastes materials for the subsequent transformation or remanufacture into usable or marketable products or materials. site identification number means the number assigned by the Competent Agency to each TSD facility operator of hazardous waste.

storage is holding waste for a temporary period, after which the waste is treated, disposed of or stored elsewhere. transporter means a person engaged in the off-site transportation of waste by air, rail, highway or water and is anyone who transports the trackable waste from its place of production or storage to another location. treatment is any method, technique, or process designed to physically, chemically or biologically change the nature of a waste. TSD Facility refers to a treatment, storage and/or disposal facility, including recycling facilities. used Oil means any oil that has been refined from crude oil, or any synthetic oil, that has been used and, as a result of such use, is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities. waste agent is a person or organisation who manages waste on behalf of a waste generator and arranges for the transfer, storage, treatment or disposal of the waste on their behalf. waste facility is a site for recycling, storing, treating or disposing of waste. waste handler is a generator, transporter and receiver of waste who has waste responsibilities. waste tracking is the recording of information from the waste generator about the quantity and type of waste produced; recording information about who transported the waste and when; recording information from the waste receiver about the quantity and type of waste received; and matching information about the waste from both the generator and the receiver.

2) Citation a) This document may be cited as the Waste RCC Standard for KSA. This standard revises the current General Standards for the Environment (specifically document number 1409-01) issued by the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment (PME).

3) Timescales for implementation

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia National Environmental Standard

Waste Regulatory Control and Compliance



4) Purpose a) The objective of this stardards is to establish the framework for PME to develop and integrate systems for the management of the movement of waste in KSA. The framework includes:

i) the assignment of a Duty of Care to Waste Handlers;

ii) tracking systems, which provide

information to assist agencies and emergency services and ensure wastes are directed to appropriate facilities;

iii) prior notification systems for hazardous

waste activities, which provide participating Enforcing Authorities with access to information to assess the appropriateness of proposed movements of hazardous wastes in terms of facility selection;

iv) systems for registering waste Transporters

and the regulation of Generators and TSD facilities so that tracking and notification functions are compatible throughout KSA; and

v) a waste licensing regime for storage,

treatment and disposal facilities so that a uniform method of waste control is adopted throughout KSA and site operators are accountable for their waste activities.

b) PME is charged with protecting the natural environment and therefore is obliged to issue controls over waste activities in KSA. This standard aims to assist improved control of environmental pollution, protect public health and welfare and minimise the impact upon economic development.

5) Scope a) This standard applies to all Generators, Transporters and TSD Facility operators in KSA. b) This standard extends to all waste types including hazardous, non-hazardous and inert waste.

6) Exemptions

a) Specific exemptions may be specified within this standard at any point where relevant to the Article that they are common to.

7) Powers of Authority a) Within the scope of these standards the Competent Agency may:

i) prescribe specific requirements at any

time as to other characteristics of the waste RCC standard;

ii) authorise such relaxations or departures

from, the waste RCC standard and make any such authorisation subject to the prescribed conditions, and to modify or revoke any such authorisation or condition; and

iii) authorise a local Concerned Agency to

exercise any power conferred by these regulations by paragraphs i) - iii) above.

b) The Competent Agency may, for the purposes of this Standard, appoint persons to act on their behalf as technical assessors and monitors in relation to the powers and duties conferred on him by this standard and/or its subsequent amendments. c) In addition to the responsibilities conferred by other sections contained within this standard, it shall be the duty of a relevant party;

e) This standard enables the issue of regulations and technical memoranda which are enforceable by the Competent Agency who hold delegated authority under the General Environmental Regulations.

8) Enforcement Procedures

a) Failure to comply with the requirements of these standards may lead to prosecution by the Competent Agency and those convicted of such failure may be subject to fines or periods of imprisonment as laid out in the General Environmental Regulations.



b) It is anticipated that the requirements of this standard will be enforced nationally with inspections taking place to verify their implementation at a regional and local level. c) The concerned agencies and persons shall be fully responsible, as part of their activities and projects, for incidents of environmental pollution with chemical, toxic, or hazardous wastes and materials during the stages of production, transportation, storage or recycling and for immediately reporting such incidents to the Competent Agency. d) The party that caused such a pollution incident shall bear all the costs of pollution control, abatement, treatment and rehabilitation of the polluted environment as well as any compensation for damages caused by such incidents of pollution. e) Breach of the Duty of Care is an offence and subject to the prosecutions and penalties set out in the General Environmental Regulations.

9) Penalty fines

a) Maximum fines that may be imposed for exceeding the applicable standard, breach of permit and failure to comply with an abatement notice are set out in the General Environmental Regulations.

10) Appeals

a) A right of appeal exists for any organisation or individual who is required to take action as a consequence of the implementation of the revised standard. b) The right of appeal against conviction or sentence is available through the appropriate judicial system as set out in the General Environmental Regulations.

11) Period Review a) As a minimum, the Competent Agency shall undertake a periodic review of this standard every 5 years. b) Where new information suggests that adjustments are required to this standard, all changes will be subject to the appropriate consultation and will be notified to facilities by the Competent Agency. Appropriate implementation time will be allowed.

Article II The Duty of Care Obligations

1) Duty of Care

A Duty of Care is imposed on waste generators, transporters and disposers to ensure that:

a) Waste is not illegally disposed of or dealt with without a licence or in breach of a licence or in a way that causes pollution or harm;

b) Waste does not escape from a Waste

Handlers control;

c) Waste is transferred only to an authorised person, such as the relevant Competent Agency, registered transporter or licensed disposer;

d) When the waste is transferred, it is

accompanied by a full written description so that each person who has it knows enough to deal with it properly and thus avoids committing an offence under GER 2001.

2) Applicability of Duty of Care

a) The Duty of Care applies to:

i) any importer, generator or transporter of waste;

ii) any person who stores, treats, recycles,

reuses or disposes of waste; and

iii) any agent who has control of waste.

b) Occupiers of residential properties are exempt from the Duty of Care for the municipal waste that is generated from their place of residence.

3) Waste Generators

a) Waste Generators shall be responsible for identification of the types of waste and hazardous waste they generate, as well as for ensuring that such wastes are stored, treated and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner that does not cause its dispersal and also does not cause any detrimental effect on human health, safety and welfare or the environment and the natural resources.

b) The Generator shall be required to:

i) classify and identify their waste;

ii) refrain from delivering or transferring

wastes to a waste transporter or to a TSD facility which are either not registered, not



licensed or who do not have a site ID number from the Competent Agency;

iii) refrain from delivering consignments of

waste for transportation outside the TSD Facility without being accompanied by a Waste Tracking Form, obtained from the Competent Agency, where relevant;

iv) comply with segregation and storage

requirements as specified in the Waste Segregation and Storage Standard; and

v) prepare the waste for transportation.

c) Generators must properly classify and identify their waste as they are the first step in the waste tracking process. Generators must therefore decide if the waste is:

i) industrial, commercial or municipal;

ii) liquid or solid; and/or

iii) hazardous, non-hazardous or inert.

4) Waste Handlers

a) The Duty of Care extends to Waste Handlers to ensure that waste within their control does not escape and includes the prevention of:

i) corrosion or wear of waste containers;

ii) accidental spillage, leakage or inadvertent

leaching from waste unprotected from rainfall;

iii) spills or releases initiated by accidents or

weather conditions;

iv) waste blowing away or falling while stored or transported; and

v) scavenging of waste by vandals, thieves,

adults, children, trespassers or animals.

b) Waste Handlers must provide for protection of waste for onward future handling once it has left their control so that it reaches its destination intact.

5) TSD Facility Requirements

a) Notification of Activities Owners and operators of TSD facilities are required to notify the Competent Agency of their hazardous waste activities in order to obtain a Site Identification Number allowing them to operate. This timeframe should take no longer than three months from notification to operation. This requirement is not necessary for operators of non-hazardous waste TSD facilities.

b) Waste Analysis

Waste operators of TSD facilities must check the waste they receive so as to ensure compliance with the type of waste they are licensed to handle under their site waste licence. c) Inspection Requirements The operator of a TSD facility must inspect the facility for malfunction, deterioration, operator errors and leaks. Inspections must be recorded in a written or electronic format on site and reactive maintenance must be actioned to remedy any problems identified during inspection. d) Training of Operators Operators of TSD facilities must be competent in managing the waste handled by the facility and must comply with the requirements under the Waste Training and Assessment of Technical Competence of Operators Standard.

Article III Waste Tracking

1) Waste Tracking System

a) A waste tracking system enables the Competent Agency to track waste from its source to the place of storage, recycling, treatment or disposal.

b) Waste tracking ensures all parties involved with managing the waste take a responsible attitude and that the waste is transported and managed appropriately to prevent waste dumping and environmental harm. c) Waste tracking does not apply to:

i) municipal waste from the point of initial

collection;

ii) commercial non-hazardous or inert waste collected by municipal vehicles from the point of initial collection;

iii) waste transported in a pipeline;

iv) waste transported for use as a stock food;

v) waste transported to a farm for use as a

soil conditioner or fertiliser;

vi) waste transported to a registered laboratory for analysis;

vii) waste authorised to be released to

sewerage or storm water drainage; or

viii) waste given an exemption by the Competent Agency.



2) Waste Handlers

The Competent Agency will also be able to check that the Transporter and TSD facility are appropriately licensed to accept the designated waste. b) Where the information does not match, the Competent Agency will ascertain the reason and investigate what action, if any, should be taken. c) Waste tracking information will also be used by the Competent Agency to plan for and facilitate the provision of waste minimisation programs, recycling opportunities and disposal or treatment facilities.

6) Waste Tracking Form

a) An approved form, known as a Waste Tracking Form, provides details of the waste tracking information to be provided (see Appendix C of this Standard). The form, available from the Competent Agency, is a five copy docket which travels with the waste from its point of generation to the site of storage, recycling, treatment or disposal. The form records proof of actions for all persons involved in the handling of the waste for regulatory purposes.

b) Certificates are individually and uniquely numbered. These numbers become the load number for each waste load. c) Generators, Transporters and Waste Receivers of trackable waste all have responsibilities related to the form. Relevant copies of each form are to be provided to the Competent Agency within fourteen days of the waste transaction by the relevant waste handler.

7) Completing a Waste Tracking Form

a) The form (reproduced in Appendix C) has a main section with three parts (A, B and C) which must all be completed correctly. The form comprises five copies: white, pink, green, yellow and blue. A full form (all parts and copies) is progressively completed by the Generator, Transporter and Waste Receiver for each waste load, or in the case of mixed loads, for each component of the load that is transported within KSA. b) The Generator and Waste Receiver are each required to forward an original carbonless copy of the certificate to the Competent Agency.

c) The individual completing Part A of the form must be familiar with the waste and its hazards and be authorised to complete the document on behalf of the Generator. d) The Transporter completing Part B of the document must be familiar with the waste and its hazards and be authorised by the transportation firm to complete the document. This person is usually the driver. Trackable waste can only be transported to an appropriate receiving facility as nominated by the Generator in Part A. e) Once parts A and B of the certificate have been completed, the Generator must detach the green and pink copies of the document and give the remaining white (original), yellow and blue copies to the Transporter to accompany the waste to the TSD facility nominated on the form. The green copy is kept by the Generator. The pink copy is sent to the Competent Agency within fourteen days of completion of part A. f) Once the waste receiving facility has completed part C of the document, the Transporter detaches the blue copy of the document and gives the remaining white (original) and yellow copies to the person representing the waste receiving facility. The blue copy of the document is kept by the Transporter. g) The person completing Part C of the document must be familiar with the waste and its hazards and be authorised to complete the form on behalf of the receiving facility. The yellow copy is detached by the waste receiver (with parts A, B and C now completed) and is kept for their records. The white (original) copy is sent to the Competent Agency within fourteen days of receiving the waste.

8) Multiple Transfers of Non-Hazardous Waste a) Where there are a series of multiple transfers of waste of the same description being made between the same parties, a single Waste Tracking Form covering a given period of time can be submitted to the Competent Agency provided that all relevant parties are in agreement and the Competent Agency has been duly notified. b) The given period of time cannot extend to longer than 12 months from the date on which the first of the transfers subject to the arrangements takes place. c) This provision does not apply to transfers of hazardous waste.



Article IV Registration of Waste Transporters

1) Scope of Registration

a) Transporters of waste must be registered with the Competent Agency in order to transport waste by rail, boat, air or on the highway. b) The following are exempt from the requirement to register:
