Environmental monitoring and assessment
Radioactive substances are used routinely in Scotland for medical diagnosis and treatment, research, energy generation and industrial processes. Under the Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018 (EA(S)R), we regulate these activities including discharges to the environment. We are responsible for ensuring that public radiation doses as a result of authorised radioactive discharges
Construction
Serious environmental harm could result from construction activities, such as excessive siltation from run-off, impeding fish migration or impacts on fish spawning.
A number of construction-related activities therefore require authorisation from SEPA.
The Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2011, more commonly known as CAR regulations, and their amendments cover activi
Modelling
Marine aquaculture modelling
Computer modelling is used as a guide to determining licensed discharge quantities of anti-parasitic chemicals and organic waste arising from marine fish-farm operations.
The modelling tools promoted by SEPA provide robust predictions in most cases, requiring relatively little site-specific information. Nevertheless, the quality of the model outputs is dependent upon g

What are we able to do?
We can now accept:
applications for an EASR18 authorisation (please contact sepa.org.uk/contact)
online notifications EASR18 for orphan source or managed radioactive substances (only IAEA category 5 that: exceed 200 kBq; tritium sources exceeding 20 GBq; and electrodeposited source. Radioactive substances in IAEA cat
DBPAG and forum
SEPA, the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Food Standards Agency (FSA), Public Health England (PHE), Scottish Government and Fife Council have observer status on the Group, which permits them to provide information to members during meetings and inform DBPAG of their current work. Membership will be reviewed periodically to ensure that the group has a sufficient diversity of skills to address the issues
Accredited reprocessors and exporters
Introduction
Accredited reprocessors or exporters recycle or recover waste packaging discarded by United Kingdom (UK) businesses and households. They sell electronic packaging recovery notes (ePRNs) and electronic packaging export recovery notes (ePERNs) and reinvest the income into the recycling of packaging.
Packaging producers, or their compliance schemes, buy ePRNs and ePERNs as evidence that
Advice for abstractors and irrigators
Everyone is strongly encouraged to build water resilience into their business as this can help with plans for the future. By taking the right steps now, it could help reduce the impact of water scarcity in the future.
The summer months are a crucial time of year for water demand. Abstractors and irrigators are advised to manage water wisely to minimise the need for restrictions:

A summary of SEPA's responsibilities relating to evironmental crime protocal.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Services (COPFS) and SEPA are committed to ensuring effective liaison so that reports from SEPA achieve the best outcome for the environment and the public interest. The Environmental Crime Protocol has been developed to ensure that liaison arrangements between COPFS and SEPA are transparent, with cases being dealt with in the most effective and consistent wa
Energy from waste
Scotland is making progress towards its waste targets by transforming residual waste into energy.
Residual waste – waste which cannot be reused, recycled or recovered – forms the lowest aspect of the waste hierarchy and is normally destined for landfill.
However, new technologies are being developed to allow the incineration of residual waste to produce electricity and heat by energy from waste (E
