[QUOTE="Thedual1, post: 2030766, member: 16806"] [SIZE=4][B]The Environment Agency (EA) release a low risk waste position on the landspreading of waste gypsum.[/B][/SIZE] Recycled gypsum from waste plasterboard spread on agricultural land is subject to waste controls. It may be spread on agricultural land to confer benefit under [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sr2010-no4-mobile-plant-for-land-spreading']Standard Rules Permit SR2010 No. 4 (Mobile plant for landspreading)[/URL] but is not included in the list of wastes covered by [URL='https://www.gov.uk/waste-exemption-u10-spreading-waste-to-benefit-agricultural-land']exemption U10 (Spreading waste on agricultural land to confer benefit)[/URL]. In advance of any national review of the current U10 exemption, the EA has released a Low Risk Waste Position, see below related documents. This will enable recycled gypsum from waste plasterboard (waste code 19 12 12) and flue-gas desulphurisation gypsum (waste code 10 01 05) to be spread on agricultural land as a substitute fertiliser without the need for a permit as long as the position conditions are followed. Rates must be no greater than 1 tonne per hectare in any 12 month period. Further details appear in the position but, in summary, the material must only be spread where there is a fertiliser need and it must not be spread within 50m of a potable water borehole or 10m of surface water. The Code of Good Agricultural Practice must be followed. To address the issue of variability and potential[attach=full]266698[/attach]physical contamination the reprocessed gypsum from plasterboard should be certified. The most commonly used specification for the production of reprocessed gypsum from waste plasterboard is PAS 109:2013. [B]This Low Risk Position is intended for the low volume use of waste gypsum as a substitute agricultural fertiliser, and not for the typically higher volume use as a conditioner to improve soil structure. This higher volume use can still be undertaken under Standard Rules Permit SR2010 No. 4 (Mobile plant for landspreading).[/B] [/QUOTE]
