Mistakes to avoid
Relationship between ICPE regulations and other regulations

In a serious and urgent situation, the mayor is entitled to alert the prefect so that he can order the necessary measures. Furthermore, it has been ruled that in the event of the prefect's inaction, the mayor may exceptionally intervene himself to preserve or restore public order.

Furthermore, in terms of waste, the mayor is considered to be the administrative authority vested with the power to impose the evacuation and disposal of abandoned waste, including waste located within an ICPE.
