Waste recovery and Qualified Persons experience
At H Fraser Consulting, our team of Qualified Persons (QPs) can support with the sustainable reuse of soils, produce Materials Management Plans (MMPs) and provide a Qualified Person (QP) to make the necessary declarations under the Definition of Waste Code of Practice (DoWCoP). We can also advise on other means of managing site materials to minimise waste.
Our relevant consultancy services include:
- Waste classification
- Waste recovery plans
- Environmental permits and exemptions
- Materials Management Plans (MMP)
- Qualified Person (QP) declarations
- Validation reports
Our environmental and waste consultants can prepare your Materials Management Plan (MMP) or provide a Qualified Person to review it and issue the necessary Declaration, enabling soils to be safely re-used.
Experienced soil management consultant services:
- Materials Management Plans (MMP) and Qualified Person (QP) declarations: Soils from construction sites are considered waste unless proven otherwise. To reuse materials legally, especially when transferring soils between sites, a compliant MMP is required, along with a QP declaration under DoWCoP. We can prepare your MMP and act as your Qualified Person to make the necessary declaration. (https://www.claire.co.uk/projects-and-initiatives/dow-cop).
- Soil resource assessments. We assess soil quality and function to support planning, sustainability, and land stewardship goals. Our surveys evaluate carbon storage, drainage, biodiversity, and more, with tailored recommendations to protect and enhance soil resources.
- Waste recovery plans: Where reuse involves non-natural or treated soils, a Waste Recovery Plan may be required to justify the activity. We can help develop your plan and demonstrate compliance with the waste recovery test for permit applications under the Deposit for Recovery scheme: (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/deposit-for-recovery-operators-environmental-permits/waste-recovery-plans-and-deposit-for-recovery-permits#waste-recovery-test).
- Environmental permitting and exemptions: Where re-use involves non-natural or treated soils, a Waste Recovery Plan may be required to justify the activity. We can help develop your plan and demonstrate compliance with the waste recovery test for permit applications under the Deposit for Recovery scheme.
