Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004

These regulations complement the Freedom of Information Act but are more detailed and deal specifically with a lot of the information held by SEPA. The regulations already apply to SEPA.

Most requests under these regulations will be free and can be responded to within 20 working days. However, in exceptional circumstances, we are allowed to take up to 40 working days.

Most requests will cost nothing but we are entitled to charge depending on how much work is involved. See our Charging policy for more information.
