Exatract:
1. This consultation paper seeks views on the Scottish Government’s proposals
to implement EU Directive 2006/21/EC on the management of waste from the
extractive industries (“MWD”) into Scots law.
2. The MWD was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the
EU on 15 March 2006. It sets out requirements for the management of waste
material, such as rock, tailings and overburden, arising from the prospecting,
extraction, treatment and storage of mineral resources and the working of quarries
for the purposes of preventing harm to the environment and human health.
