520 _aDiscusses the need for some legal means of securing long term care of waste management sites. During the 1980s, the Control of Pollution Act 1974 s8(4), allowed holders of waste disposal licences to cancel at any time. Once the licence was handed back to the issuing authority, all obligations ended and the ex-licence holder had no further liability for the site and any problems which might arise from it. The provisions contained in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 for long term after care of waste management sites have been weakened by two court cases: "Official Receiver (as liquidator of Celtic Extraction Ltd & Bluestone Chemicals Ltd) v Environment Agency" ([1999] 46 EG, Abs61612) and "Environment Agency v Hillridge Ltd and others" ([2003] EWHC 3023 (Ch).
