28—Determining environment management component

        (1)         The environment management component is comprised of—

            (a)         a separate amount payable for each assessable site specified in the licence as follows:

                  (i)         if the licence authorises only 1 prescribed activity of environmental significance to be carried on at the site during the licence period—the number of fee units specified in Schedule 2 Part 2

for the activity;

                  (ii)         if the licence authorises 2 or more prescribed activities of environmental significance to be carried on at the site during the licence period—the highest number of fee units specified in Schedule 2 Part 2

for any of the activities (or the higher number, in the case of only 2 such activities); and

            (b)         if the licence authorises a waste transport business—the number of fee units determined as follows:

                  (i)         the number of fee units specified in Schedule 2 Part 2

for the activity for each vehicle that is an assessable vehicle during the licence period adjusted, if the vehicle is not an assessable vehicle for the whole of the licence period, by applying the proportion that the number of months during the licence period for which the vehicle is an assessable vehicle bears to 12 months;

                  (ii)         for the purposes of the adjustment, part of a month is to be counted as a full month;

                  (iii)         if the same vehicle is an assessable vehicle for the purposes of both a waste transport business (category A) and a waste transport business (category B) and a different number of fee units is specified in Schedule 2 Part 2

for the vehicle in those different businesses—the number of fee units for the vehicle is the higher number of fee units so specified adjusted, if the vehicle is not an assessable vehicle for the whole of the licence period, as set out in subparagraphs (i)

and (ii)

; and

            (c)         if the licence authorises dredging—the number of fee units specified in Schedule 2 Part 2

for the activity for each day on which the activity is undertaken during the licence period; and

            (d)         if the licence authorises earthworks drainage—the number of fee units specified in Schedule 2 Part 2

for the activity for each day on which the activity is undertaken during the licence period.

        (2)         If the number of fee units specified in Schedule 2 Part 2

depends on an indicator of the level of activity during the licence period, the indicator is to be determined by the Authority on the basis of the Authority's estimates in relation to the activity during the licence period.

        (3)         Amounts determined under this regulation are subject to any necessary adjustment under regulation 31

after the end of the licence period.
