• a fee for intervention to recover the costs of investigating waste operations and resolving breaches where we suspect a waste operator lacks required authorisation聽
• a waste crime levy of 10% on annual subsistence charges for certain waste permits, to enhance our efforts against waste crime聽
• updated hourly rates that reflect the current costs of managing environmental permits and applying them to new regulatory work聽

The consultation document explains:聽

• why we are consulting and what we aim to achieve聽
• the economic context聽
• the new proposed charging structure聽
• the questions we have for you聽
• how you can respond聽
