The Foreshore and Dumping at Sea (Amendment) Act 2009 amends
the Dumping at Sea Acts 1996 to 2006, so that certain functions
relating to dumping at sea are transferred from the Minister
for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
With effect from 15th February 2010, it is the function of
the EPA to issue Dumping at Sea permits under the Dumping
at Sea Acts 1996 to 2009.
The Dumping at Sea Acts 1996 to 2009 prohibit the dumping
at sea from vessels, aircraft or offshore installation of
a substance or material unless permitted by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Who needs a DaS permit?
Any person who wishes to dispose of material at sea is required
to apply for a Dumping at Sea permit. The Foreshore
and Dumping at Sea (Amendment) Act 2009 empowers the
Agency to decide on an application for a permit to dispose
of material at sea.
Anyone requiring a Dumping at Sea should contact the EPA's
