Community Punishment for Illegal Waste Deposit

By: Louise Railton
Environment Agency UK, 02/20/04

A Dipton man was in court today (Friday) after using illegal waste as hard core on his land at New Kyo, Co Durham.

Ian Chester admitted one charge of permitting the deposit of controlled waste, namely household waste, and one charge of permitting the disposal of waste by burning on land where no waste management license was in force between January 1, and June 25, 2002.

The deposit offence was contrary to Sections 33(1)(a) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the disposal by burning contrary to Section 33(1)(b) of the same act.

Chester, 23, of Bradley Terrace, Dipton, Co Durham, was given 100 hours community punishment by Durham Crown Court and ordered to pay £1500 towards costs.

Environment Agency officers spotted the illegal activity on a field behind Unity Terrace, New Kyo, Co Durham on June 25, 2002. The field was almost entirely covered in waste material such as bricks, rubble, wood, paper, glass and plastics.

A fire was burning in the middle of the site and the officers saw two men loading more waste into the front bucket of a caterpillar-type vehicle.

The officers took photographs and handed one of the men a notice instructing them to stop what they were doing immediately until there was further contact from the Agency. Witnesses tracked down from evidence at the site all identified the same skip hire firm.

In an interview with Agency officers, Chester claimed he had bought the field with the intention of setting up a horse arena and stables. He had asked for waste to flatten the area, but refused to say who actually deposited the waste on the land.

The court was told today that Chester felt he had been duped by other people into committing the offences.

After the case Special Enforcement Officer Roy Howitt said: "There are exemptions for certain types of waste to be used for levelling or maintaining agricultural land and Agency officers are more than happy to advise people who wish to do this.

"We expect people to dispose of their waste in a responsible manner at appropriate civic amenity sites. We will always prosecute those who don’t dispose of their waste responsibly." Source.
