Expanded List of Designated Enterprises under Waste Disposal Act Steps Up Responsibilities of Businesses

摘要

To ensure that businesses properly dispose of the waste they produce, the EPA has decided that stricter management is needed for waste disposal and final destinations for waste, and has thus announced additions to the list of enterprises in Article 2 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 2 of the Waste Disposal Act. The enterprises added to the list include any enterprise that removes soil from a soil or groundwater polluted site, operators of excavated soil storage sites, medical laboratories, medical care radiological clinics and public sewage treatment plants.
