This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to get an environmental permit for a waste operation when you:

• store non-hazardous chemical toilet waste at a location controlled by the operator of a portable toilet hire business
• store cess and septic tank waste at a location controlled by a tanker operator
• store sewage from boats at a marina or lock site
• receive and store non-hazardous chemical toilet waste at a waste water treatment works and treat it there

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action when you do this without an environmental permit if you comply with the requirements in this RPS.

This enforcement position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
