1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND 1.2 OBJECTIVES The Environment and Heritage Service of the Department of the Environment has prepared guidance on municipal waste data reporting for use by District Councils and the sub-regional waste management planning groups (Waste Management Groups) in their regular monitoring and annual performance reviews, to which they have committed in the final Waste Management Plans (WMPs). The objectives of the monitoring and reporting guidelines are: • To identify appropriate key performance indicators that need to be measured to assess progress towards achieving the Waste Strategy Targets; • To enable compliance with the reporting requirements of EU Directives, the Department and other UK legislation; • To ensure uniform and consistent measurement and presentation of the key performance indicators across the whole of Northern Ireland (NI). 1.3 PHASED IMPLEMENTATION The implementation of the guidelines has been split into three stages: Stage 1 involved the development of an outline list of primary key performance indicators (KPIs) for waste management for inclusion in the adopted WMP. These indicators are listed in Annex A. Stage 2 entails the development of Interim Guidelines. These provide details of the methodology to be adopted in reporting waste data in the annual review to be carried out by the regional Waste Management Groups in March/April 2003. They will also be used for measuring and reporting waste data throughout 2003. This stage has also involved further development of the primary indicators outlined in Stage 1 and the definition of secondary indicators, as appropriate – see Annex A Stage 3 will involve the production of formal Reporting Guidelines. These guidelines will be produced prior to the annual review of the WMPs in March 2004. This phase of the project will include consultation with the District Councils by October 2003, and finalisation and issue of the Guidelines by 31 December 2003. It is the Department’s intention to make the final guidelines statutory in due course. MUNICIPAL WASTE DATA MONITORING AND REPORTING: INTERIM GUIDELINES 1
The benefits of this staged approach are that a functional methodology can be quickly developed to achieve the March 2003 milestone. In addition, by delaying the finalisation of the guidelines until December 2003, the methodologies developed in Stages 1 and 2 can be further refined, based on the results of their implementation in the first round of annual performance reviews in March/April 2003, and of any further pilot testing considered necessary. Furthermore, any reporting requirements of EU Directives yet to be confirmed (e.g. the Landfill Directive and the Waste Statistics Regulation) can be incorporated into the final version of the guidelines. 1.4 WASTE DATA MONITORING AND REPORTING TASKFORCE The Interim Guidelines outlined in this report have been developed by the Department, in conjunction with the Data Monitoring and Reporting Taskforce. The Taskforce consists of representatives from: the three Waste Management Groups, the Department (Waste and Contaminated Land Unit), DRD (Central Statistics and Research Branch) and ERM (Consultants to the Department).
