On the basis of the total quantity of hazardous waste and waste. The amount of waste to be invested shall be assessed as dry weight.

2. The waste facility shall be classified as a waste from the extractive waste into a major accident on the basis of the amount of hazardous waste to be disposed of, if the ratio referred to in paragraph 1:

(a) exceeding 50 %;

(b) is between 5 and 50 %.

However, the waste facility referred to in point 2b shall not be classified as a major accident hazard on the basis of the quantity of hazardous waste disposed of as a waste facility if the classification is found to be unjustified in the region Risk assessment. The risk assessment shall be carried out as part of a classification based on the consequences of the deterioration of the structural stability of the waste facility or damage resulting from incorrect operation and shall pay particular attention to the The effects of waste.

With a dangerous substance or mixture (dangerous chemical) Means the substance or mixture, the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, and amending and repealing Directives 67 /548/EEC and 1999 /45/EC and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, classify as a hazardous substance or mixture. Until 31 May 2015, it is also considered a dangerous mixture to be considered as a mixture of the Regulation of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health on the classification and labelling of chemicals (2006) Is classified as a dangerous mixture.

2. As regards the waste facility for enrichment waste, the following procedure shall apply:

(a) Inventing the substances and mixtures used in such activities that are discharged after processing into the waste facility for tailings waste;

(b) Evaluate the amount of each substance and mixture used in the process for each scheduled year of operation;

(c) Determine whether a substance or mixture is a dangerous chemical;

(d) Calculate the increase in the volume of water in the waste facility for each scheduled year (ΔQ I ) In stable conditions using the following formula:

ΔQ I = (ΔM I *P, where:

-WHAT'S UP? I = annual increase in the volume of water in the waste facility in the waste facility (m 3 Year) in 'i',

-EAR. I = quantity of enrichment waste in the area per year (dry weight in tonnes/year) in the year 'i',

-D = average specific weight of the deposited dry enrichment waste (tonnes/m 3 ) And

-P = average porosity of the layer enrichment waste (m 3 /m 3 ) As a ratio between the number of sinuses and the total quantity of enrichment waste.

If accurate information on the specific weight and porosity is not available, the default values of D = 1,4 tonnes/m 3 And P = 0,5 m 3 /m 3 .

(e) Evaluate the maximum annual concentration (C) of each hazardous chemical identified in accordance with point 2c Maks ) In the water phase of enrichment waste by means of the following formula:

C Maks = ratio S I /ΔQ the maximum value of

-S I = the annual mass of the dangerous chemical identified in accordance with each 2c and in the year 'i'.

The waste facility is to be classified as a waste from extractive waste as a major accident if the aqueous phase of the enrichment waste is considered to be the maximum annual concentration (C Maks ) The presence of a dangerous chemical.

3. The classification of a waste facility which was operational on 13 June 2008 may also be based on the direct chemical analysis of the water and the solids in the waste facility. The waste facility is to be classified as a waste facility for extractive waste from a major accident, where the water phase of the enrichment waste and its contents are considered to be a dangerous chemical.

4. In the case of castration areas where the metals are separated from malt by means of a liquid solution, the presence of hazardous solute chemicals shall be determined at the sealing stage of the site. The report shall be based on the information on the solubility chemicals used and their residual concentration in the swamp water at the end of the reconstitution process. The waste facility is to be classified as a waste from extractive waste from a major accident if it is considered to be a dangerous chemical.

(b) identification and evaluation of major-accident hazards: the establishment and implementation of procedures for the systematic identification of major-accident hazards occurring in normal or normal abnormal operations; And assess their probability and severity;

(c) operational control: the introduction of procedures for the safe use and maintenance of the waste facility and its processes and equipment, as well as the provision of instructions;

(d) changes management: the establishment of procedures and the introduction of changes in waste facilities or new waste facilities;

(e) planning for emergency situations: the establishment and implementation of procedures for the identification of foreseeable emergency situations through a systematic assessment and the establishment, practice and review of Emergency plans and thus manage such incidents;

(f) monitoring of implementation: the establishment and implementation of procedures for the continuous assessment of the operation of the operator's operational principles and safety management systems for the prevention of major accidents; As well as procedures for investigations and corrective actions, in the event that the principles and systems do not exist; the procedures must include operators' reporting systems for major accidents or near misses, in particular: Where there has been a lack of security, and Their investigation and monitoring procedures, taking into account past experience;

(g) evaluation and review: the establishment and implementation of procedures for systematic evaluation of major accident prevention policies at regular intervals; and The effectiveness and relevance of the safety management system; a written assessment of the level of senior management and the level of the safety management system and the updating thereof.

B. Contents of the internal emergency plan

The internal emergency plan shall include at least the following:

1. Names and tasks of persons responsible for:

(a) internal emergency measures for the waste facility in the extractive waste facility and which are authorised to initiate rescue operations;

(b) contacts with authorities responsible for external emergency plans.

2. Report on the Policy Document and the Safety Management System.

3. Description of the measures to be taken in foreseeable circumstances to control and limit the consequences of accidents and to correct the effects of accidents.

4. Actions aimed at limiting the risks to people in the region, including the alarm system and instructions for behaviour in the event of an alert.

5. Assessment of the impact of accidents outside the waste facility.

6. Procedures for notification to the rescue authority in the event of an accident and an explanation of what information will be provided immediately and how more detailed information will be provided as they are received.
