Keeping up with it all is a tall order. However, for the generators of waste, for municipalities and for waste companies and other environmental practitioners, keeping up with it all is a must and not an option. With this in mind, Laura Taylor has put together a course that covers all of the critical developments in waste legislation, planning and policy since 2008. This will enable key role players to plan for the future and seize the opportunities that will present themselves. In addition we now have a new system of waste classification in terms of SANS 10234. Delegates will be provided with a working knowledge of how to classify their waste according to this system and the new waste laws. This very intensive three day workshop will provide delegates with the following:  Knowledge and a clear understanding of waste management legislation, policy and planning;  A clear explanation of the new waste classification system together with exercises to make sense of it all; and  Discussion, examples and exercises in order to understand how it applies to their organisation. 1 Three Day Course Outline Session Date and status of legislation Theme Day One Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 Overview of SA Waste Legislation up to the present Liability and Penalties in Environmental Legislation National Environmental Management Waste Act (NEMWA) NEMWA: Amendment Act  New definitions  Schedule 3 waste list  Waste Management Bureau Session 5 National Pricing Strategy and National Waste Summit Session 6 Waste Licensing in terms of NEMWA: the why and how List of Waste Management Activities - 2009 Amendments to lists of Waste Management Activities – 2013, May 2014, Feb 2015 Changes to EIA Lists to accommodate changes in waste lists.
