Preparation of business plans and application documents for permits for intermediate waste disposal and recycling businesses

Procedure

Procedure

1. 01

   Confirm the disposal method and target waste: Choose incineration, mechanical disposal or chemical/biological disposal, and decide whether you will accept designated waste, medical waste or other waste. For waste other than designated waste, the minimum disposal capacity is 2 tons per hour for incineration, 200 kilograms per hour for mechanical disposal and 5 tons per day for chemical or biological disposal (Annex 7 of the Enforcement Rule).

2. 02

   Submit the business plan: Submit the business plan (Form No. 17) and the disposal plan to the mayor or governor, or the head of the local environmental office, with jurisdiction over the planned facility site. Attach the emission facility permit or report documents if applicable, and an environmental survey report for an incineration facility. In an industrial or recycling complex this stage is skipped.

3. 03

   Suitability review and supplements: The authority reviews disqualification grounds, site conflicts with other laws, the permit standards for facilities, equipment and technical capability, and the effect on water source quality and environmental standards, then notifies you of suitability. If it requests supplements, align the treatment capacity, volumes and drawings so the figures match across all documents, and resubmit.

4. 04

   Build the facilities and secure personnel: Within 2 years of the suitability notice (3 years if an incineration facility is needed), install the disposal facility, a storage facility for at least 10 and at most 30 days of the daily disposal capacity, a weighing facility, laboratory instruments and at least one qualified engineer. If a natural disaster or similar cause makes the deadline unachievable, apply for an extension of up to 1 year in total.

5. 05

   Apply for the permit: Submit the permit application (Form No. 18) with the facility and equipment specification, the disposal facility installation specification with drawings and process diagram, proof of technical qualifications and the basis for calculating storage capacity. If you meet the requirements under the plan found suitable, the authority must issue the permit without delay, and it may attach conditions for local convenience and environmental protection.

6. 06

   Report the start of use and handle changes: After construction, report to the permitting authority before starting to use the facility; it must notify you within 20 days of the report whether it is accepted. Afterward, material changes such as the representative or trade name, the planned facility site, a change of 30% or more in disposal capacity, or the permitted storage volume require a change permit in advance.

Even if an incineration facility takes 3 years to build, passing the deadline means starting the business plan stage over, so calculate equipment ordering dates and the timing of any extension request from the date of the suitability notice.
