520			_aReports on the progress made by the Environment Agency's Landfill Directive project in implementing the Landfill Directive and addresses key industry concerns. Highlights the achievement of meeting the first directive deadline, the submission of site conditioning plans by landfill operators, and outlines Environment Agency efforts to communicate with the industry. Suggests that key industry misconceptions concern the Landfill Directive Regulatory Guidance Notes (LFD RGN) and attempts to clarify the contents of LFD RGNs 3, 6 and 16. In particular, emphasises that the notes simply give the Environment Agency's understanding of landfill legislation and do not set new policy. Identifies the Agency's priorities to ensure that sites are compliant with the Landfill (England and Wales) Regulations 2002 by 31 March 2007, explains proposed changes to waste acceptance procedures and concludes that the Agency will manage re-permitting applications through three strategic planning groups.
