Central to the process of preparing the revised RWP is the collection and analysis of information regarding the waste situation within the region and the implementation of the RWP. This information is published in each Annual Monitoring Report (AMR).
Information on the waste situation within the region is required in order to monitor the region’s waste arisings, recovery and disposal and in order to make forecasts of future arisings. The challenge of planning for waste management and resource recovery facilities must be undertaken with a sound information base; it is therefore important to have comprehensive, accurate, timely and consistent information.
Information on the region’s waste management / resource recovery facilities is required in order to monitor implementation of the RWP – both in terms of the facilities that are being planned for in local authority development plans and in terms of the facilities that are currently operating.
The principle role of the Annual Monitoring Report is to collate and present all available data to enable the effective monitoring of both the region’s waste arisings and waste management facilities to assess the region’s performance against the waste strategy targets.
The information and analysis presented in the report should provide a basis for local authorities and other organisations to take action on the waste arisings within each local authority area and by implication the region as a whole. It should also provide an information base to assist the waste management industry make key investment decisions.
The AMR has the following aims:
- To collate and assess available data on all waste arisings in the region in order to monitor trends in past arisings and ultimately monitor performance against the waste strategy targets and objectives in the RWP;
- To collate and assess available data on recovery targets, self-sufficiency and alternatives to landfill development;
- To collate and assess information on the development of waste policies in Development Plans to monitor the implementation of the provisions of the RWP;
- To collate available information on the location and capacities of existing waste management / resource recovery facilities; and
- To identify any data gaps that exist.
Each of the three AMR’s relates to the period ending 31st March.
