[F1[F2Determination that a waste is hazardous wasteS
2ZA.—(1) Subject to the following provisions of this regulation, where it appears to the Scottish Ministers that, having regard to the List of Wastes and the limit values of concentration set out in Annex III, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a waste of a type listed, or falling within a type listed, in the List of Wastes as non-hazardous displays one or more hazardous properties, they may determine that, in Scotland, such waste is hazardous waste.
(2) The Scottish Ministers may revoke a determination made under paragraph (1).
(3) Before making a determination under paragraph (1) or revoking a determination under paragraph (2), the Scottish Ministers must consult the requisite bodies, except where they consider it inappropriate to do so in any case on account of the nature of an emergency or grave danger.
(4) In making a determination under paragraph (1) or revoking a determination under paragraph (2), the Scottish Ministers must take account of the relevant waste management objectives referred to in paragraphs 6(1)(a) and (b), (2) and (3) of schedule 4 of the Waste Management Licensing (Scotland) Regulations 2011 .
(5) The Scottish Ministers must publish, in such manner as they consider appropriate for the purpose of informing persons likely to be affected, a notice of any determination made under paragraph (1) or revocation under paragraph (2), and the notice must include—
(a)the date and time at which the determination or revocation, as the case may be, is to take effect (which may be immediately upon publication), and
(b)a description of the waste sufficient to identify it,
and must send a copy of the notice to the requisite bodies.
(6) The notice must give reasons for the determination or revocation, as the case may be.
(7) Where waste enters Scotland from England, Wales or Northern Ireland, a determination in force under this regulation shall apply to it notwithstanding that a determination to like effect is not in force in respect of England, Wales or Northern Ireland, as the case may be.]]
