Flytipping
Everyone is responsible for the safe and correct disposal of their own waste. Flytipping is a crime that SEPA is working with partners to respond to and to prevent.
Preventing flytipping
Waste that isn’t managed properly can lead to flytipping or unauthorised burning. Flytipped waste blights our rural land and countryside and puts the health and wellbeing of our communities at risk.

Waste data
SEPA is responsible for reporting national waste statistics to the Scottish Government and European Union among others. As regulator, SEPA also has a duty to assess whether waste management sites comply with the conditions of their licence or permit.
To do this, SEPA collects and verifies data from a number of sources, mainly:
Operators of all licensed and most permitted waste management sites

Guidance and forms for operators
SEPA regulates waste management activities in Scotland through Waste Management Licences (WMLs) and Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) permits. Lower risk activities, such as some reclamation and recycling activities, are exempt from full waste management licensing, but must still be registered with SEPA. Further information on SEPA’s regulatory role is available from our waste regulation page

SEPA confirms Dalgety Bay remediation work is complete
SEPA is satisfied that the remediation work carried out by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and its contractor Balfour Beatty, alongside future monitoring plans and agreed maintenance of rock armour by Fife Council, means the public will be able to enjoy access again for the first time since 2011.

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM)
We are responsible for regulating the keeping and use of radioactive substances and the accumulation and disposal of radioactive wastes. These pages describe the development of the UK strategy for managing wastes containing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM).

These pages describe the development of the UK strategy for managing wastes containing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM).
Naturally occurring radioactive materials exist in the earth’s crust as a result of the decay of heavy elements produced by cosmic processes. In their natural state they are not considered waste. NORM waste is produced when activities including mining and the processing of minerals and contaminated earth concentrate NORM. It is also produced as a result of maintenance and decommissioning of equipm
Aquatic Classification
There are a number of significant environmental problems caused by a number of pressures, including diffuse and point source pollution, alterations to beds, banks and shores, alterations to water levels and flows and the presence of invasive non-native species. In order to measure these pressures and their potential effects, we use an aquatic classification system which covers rivers, lochs, estuaries, coastal and groundwater bodies. These are split into management units called water bodies, with a classification produced for each body (the number of water bodies between years varies slightly, as some water body boundaries are reviewed to ensure that they can be managed appropriately).

We produce an annual Water Framework Directive (WFD) Classification for all the water bodies in Scotland.
Classification results for 2007 to the current year can be found on the Water Classification Hub.
Most of our water environment is already in a good condition and subject to fewer pressures than most other European waters.
However, there are significant environmental problems caused by a numbe
Long-term river water quality indicator
SEPA publishes a long-term river water quality indicator, based on a network of sites covering 253 water bodies (rivers or sections of rivers). This indicator is based on a consistent set of five water quality parameters which are sensitive to organic pollution, nutrients and toxic substances, and which provide a measure of species diversity across approximately 10% of all water bodies.

Monitoring
In 2011, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) established an indicator of river water quality based on a network of sites covering 253 water bodies (rivers or sections of rivers), which account for approximately 10% of all water bodies. The indicator is based on a consistent set of five water quality parameters which are sensitive to organic pollution, nutrients and toxic s
Contaminated land
The management and remediation of contaminated land that, in its current state, is causing or has the potential to cause significant harm or significant pollution of the water environment, is regulated by legislation contained within the Environmental Protection Act (1990) known as Part IIA. We have certain responsibilities within the scope of this legislation to regulate activities and assist in the management and remediation of contaminated land.

Contaminated land can present significant threats to the environment and risks to users of the land.
Land can become contaminated by a variety of substances, from heavy metals to agricultural waste. The environmental, financial and legal implications of this can be substantial.
