Information on waste codes and descriptions to use when landspreading to improve soil health.
This guidance gives:
- an overview of the waste
- the benefits and potential risks of storing and spreading the waste
- operational considerations
You can use it to produce your benefit statement for your LPD1 deployment application.
The Environment Agency’s expectation is that an appropriate technical expert will use this guidance to produce the benefit statement. For example, a Fertiliser advisers certification and training scheme (FACTS) qualified adviser.
