b'(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1954 which gives power to a local authority in England and Wales, whether in the discharge of its functions as to the removal of house or trade refuse or otherwise, to collect kitchen or other waste in its area for use as animal feeding stuffs, with or without processing. The section enables an authority collecting waste under the section to agree to pay for waste saved for collection by it, to process the waste it collects, and to sell it processed or unprocessed. If the authority processes it, it may also acquire other materials for processing with it, including kitchen or other waste collected by any other local authority or persons. A local authority collecting waste under this section may provide receptacles in which the waste may be deposited for collection. There are opportunities here for recycling initiatives involving restaurants, schools, shops and other retail outlets. Air pollution 16.7 Section 34 of the Clean Air Act 1993 gives a local authority power to undertake or contribute towards the costs of investigation and research relevant to the problem of air pollution and to arrange for the publication of information on that problem. It also enables an authority to arrange for the delivery of lectures and addresses and holding of discussions on such problems and arranging for the display of pictures, cinematograph films or models or the holding of exhibitions or preparing or joining in or contributing to the costs of the preparation of pictures, films, models or exhibitions on that problem (see Chapter 7 on powers to charge for conferences). A register is to be maintained by a local authority under section 38(5) of the Clean Air Act 1993, in relation to the authoritys functions under sections 34 to 36, which is open to inspection free of charge at all reasonable hours, but a reasonable fee can be charged for the supply of copies of entries in the register. The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/675) provide for fees and charges to be set for Local Air Pollution Prevention and Control and Local Air-Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control. Regulation 65 provides that the Secretary of State in England or the Welsh Ministers in Wales may set fees and charges in relation to environmental permits. The fees are payable to local authorities (see regulation 6) who carry out the functions of a regulator in relation to certain types of installation requiring an environmental permit (including petrol stations, chipboard and glass manufacture, animal rendering and crematoria). The amounts charged to operators must cover the expenditure incurred by local authorities in implementing the system. This is therefore not an opportunity to charge or trade, but to receive income at a level set by the Secretary of State.Water 16.8 The Water Industry Act 1991, together with the Private Water Supplies Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/66), places a duty on local authorities under the Act to sample and analyse private water supplies and enables such authorities to recover their costs up to a prescribed maximum. 161'
