Requirement

Indicator applicability: point-source discharge The UoC shall capture non-biological solid waste, including plastics, prior to effluent discharge.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • Filters or screen barriers installed in the effluent pipe/channel prior to discharge are examples of methods for capturing non-biological solid waste.

  • Based on their context, sites should identify and assess non-biological solid waste that could end up in the effluent to determine the most appropriate method for its capture.

Evidence of Implementation

  • Identification (e.g. a list) of non-biological solid waste generated at the site.

  • An assessment of the characteristics of non-biological solid waste to determine the most appropriate method for capturing it in case it ends up in the effluent.

  • Records of maintenance of the method used to capture non-biological solid waste (if applicable, e.g. filter or screen barriers).

Auditors Should Confirm

  • The site has identified and assessed non-biological solid waste generated.

  • Through site inspection, the method to capture non-biological solid waste prior to effluent discharges and its suitability.
