Position Statement: Elevated buildings in areas of flood risk

What is an elevated building? A building where structures such as pillars or stilts are used to raise it above the expected flood water level. The ground below the building remains at risk of flooding and allows for the free flow of water. Context for this position statement This position statement constitutes part of ‘relevant SEPA advice’ as referred to in criterion a) iv of the National Plannin

Information regading the Water Environment Fund, including how to apply and the assessment process. Rivers are a vital part of our landscape and a great asset to Scotland. They provide wildlife corridors, opportunities for recreation and wellbeing and resources for farming, drinking water, beverage production and hydroelectricity. Like many of our natural resources our rivers are under pressure and in places, damaged. This includes straightened and embanked channels which ar

Preparing an emergency flood plan for your reservoir

Guidance on preparing an onsite emergency flood plan for a reservoir.

Guidance on preparing an onsite emergency flood plan for a reservoir. All reservoirs which store water behind a dam are at risk of deterioration, which can lead to flooding. To prepare for this — and help protect reservoir workers, those living in the surrounding area, and our environment — all reservoirs should have an onsite emergency flood plan in place. An onsite emergency flood plan helps you prepare for an actual or potential uncontrolled release of water from

Soil

Scotland’s soils are an important natural resource providing a wide range of benefits for people, the environment and the economy. It is essential to protect soils to ensure they are able to continue to provide these benefits for future generations. Why are soils important? Soils are a vital natural resource as they carry out a wide range of essential functions, such as growing food and timber, co

Improving urban waters

Our vision is for towns and cities to use nature-based, blue-green solutions to absorb and safely convey rainwater. This will: help strengthen their resilience to the intense downpours they face under climate change minimise the risk of polluting sewage spills by keeping rainwater out of sewers create fantastic places for people to live and work Urban wastewaters Over the past 20 years, SEPA has

Priority catchments

Diffuse Pollution in the Rural Environment A programme of rural diffuse pollution work started in March 2010, to help deliver the objectives outlined in the River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) for the Scotland and Solway-Tweed river basin districts. Diffuse pollution priority catchments have been identified by SEPA as catchments failing to meet environmental standards. Each catchment has a dedic

Sea lice regulatory framework implementation

Frequently asked questions Why is a sea lice framework needed? Populations of wild Atlantic salmon have been in serious decline in recent decades and are now at crisis point. The pattern of decline is repeated across the salmon’s North Atlantic range and is likely caused, at least in part, by the effect of climate change on the survival of salmon during their time at sea. To build resilience of Sc
