Resources

Under the Scottish Executive Resource Accounting and Budgeting process SEPA receives a resource allocation that consists of an Operating Resource allocation to meet revenue costs and a capital resource allocation to meet capital costs. For the period of the plan these are.

The Operating Resource represents the income received from the Scottish Executive in support of SEPA’s operations. The Capital Resource sets a budget limit on SEPA capital expenditure which can be met from the operating resource income. This can only be increased with the agreement of the Scottish Executive.

SEPA’s other main source of income is from Charging Schemes to meet the costs associated with its chargeable environmental protection duties. Over the plan period this is 2005/06 - £25,305,000, 2006/07 - £30,342,000 and 2007/08 - £32,328,000.

SEPA’s total forecast income for 2005/06 is £57,196,000, rising to £66,931,000 in 2007/08. This increased income arises from work being undertaken by SEPA as a result of the implementation of new environmental legislation. We are aiming to improve on our year on year efficiency target of 3% per annum. The costs shown below incorporate these efficiency savings.

The table below sets out in summary SEPA’s main sources of income and expenditure.

SEPA plans to invest £7,437,000 in capital assets over the 3 years, mainly in IT and science equipment. This level of investment will be met from the Scottish Executive capital resource funding scheme and other income.

The proposed capital expenditure in each of the 3 years is 2005/06 - £2,207,000, 2006/07 - £2,858,000 and 2007/08 - £2,373,000. To fund this capital investment programme at a level above its resource capital allocation, SEPA requires to have a revenue account surplus in each of the 3 years. This is shown below as a revenue transfer to capital account.

* This charging scheme is replaced by the Water Environment Water Services scheme from 2006/07 onwards (see note 3 below).

† This interim scheme recovers the cost of transferring applications from existing Control of Pollution Act and water resource activities.

§ This is the permanent scheme which will replace existing Control of Pollution Act and groundwater schemes and introduce new charges for water resources and engineering activities.
