Radioactive substance notifications
You need to notify SEPA if you:
manage any of the following radioactive sources:
sealed sources in IAEA category 5 that exceed 200 kBq;
tritium sources that exceed 20 GBq;
electrodeposited sources
manage a radioactive orphan source
manage radioactive waste from an incident (MS Word, 238 kB)
You don't need to notify SEPA if the activity can be carried out under a permit or registration that yo
Invasive non-native species
What are invasive non-native species?
Non-native species (NNS) are plants and animals which have been introduced (accidentally or deliberately) outside of their native range through human activity.
Many non-native species contribute positively to our lives, as livestock, crops, timber, garden plants or pets. However, a small proportion (10-15%) of non-native species spread rapidly and cause damage
What we don't do
SEPA often receives environmental event notifications for issues for which are the statutory responsibility of other organisations. To help you get to the right place quickly the table below provides a quick guide to a number of issues, together with how you can contact the right organisation.

Alloa monitoring buoy, Firth of Forth
Continuous monitoring equipment has been deployed from a buoy in the upper Forth estuary near South Alloa since 1988 to monitor dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature and turbidity. Dissolved oxygen is consumed by the decomposition of organic matter. Organic matter in the upper Forth estuary originates from discharges of organic waste and organic rich sediments mixed into the water column as a re
Water
Scotland's water is famed worldwide. It's critical in the production and branding of some of our biggest exports, and a big draw for tourists. The water environment in Scotland is generally in good condition. However, there are environmental problems, including diffuse pollution, discharges of waste water, abstractions and historic physical alterations.
The management of water plays a significant
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

River Basin Management Planning
An introduction to our river basin planning work.
An introduction to our river basin planning work.
River basin management planning (RBMP) protects and improves Scotland’s water environment for the benefit of people, wildlife and the economy.
Much of the water environment in Scotland is in good condition. However, there are still significant problems affecting water quality, physical condition, water resources, and the migration of wild fish.
The River Basin Management Plans for Scotland set ou
Non-nuclear industries
We regulate the storage, use and disposal of all radioactive substances, including those from the non-nuclear industry. Organisations that use radioactive substances, but are not part of the nuclear industry, are collectively known as the non-nuclear industry.

Developing our flooding knowledge
We are continually working to develop and improve our knowledge on flood risk and flooding impacts and to identify new technologies to better support our flooding work.
We are continually working to develop and improve our knowledge on flood risk and flooding impacts and to identify new technologies to better support our flooding work.
As the strategic flood risk management authority in Scotland we are continually working to develop and improve our knowledge of the sources and impacts of flooding. We have developed a knowledge base of methods, guidance and summaries that may be useful to responsible authorities, academic projects and consultants delivering flood risk management projects, which can be accessed below.
