Medium combustion plant

The medium combustion plant requirements of the PPC regulations are designed to control emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and dust into the air from plants with a net rated thermal input of between 1 and 50 megawatts (MW), contributing to better air quality and reducing the potential risks to human health and the environment. If you operate your own boiler, engine or genera

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.

How we forecast flooding

SEPA works with the Met Office to forecast flooding in Scotland, providing accurate and timely information to help emergency responders, local authorities, the public and other organisations prepare for flooding.

SEPA works with the Met Office to forecast flooding in Scotland, providing accurate and timely information to help emergency responders, local authorities, the public and other organisations prepare for flooding. Scottish Flood Forecasting Service This strategic partnership between the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and the Met Office combines hydrological and meteorological information for the first time, so that both organisations can share their expertise to improve the accuracy of flood forecasts for the whole of Scotland. We collect data from our network of over 250 rainfall, river and

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

Civil sanctions

Fixed Monetary Penalties (FMPSs) and Variable Monetary Penalties (VMPs) for reservoir managers Since January 2019 SEPA has been able to issue Fixed Monetary Penalties (FMPs) of between £300 and £1,000 to reservoir managers. In addition, SEPA also has the ability to issue Variable Monetary Penalties (VMPs) of up to £40,000 for majority of offences within the legislation. All offences that SEPA can

Service level statement for small-scale private sewage treatment systems

Every year, we receive hundreds of enquiries and complaints about small-scale private sewage treatment systems. Most complaints are about "ponding", when wastewater or sewage forms puddles on the ground, or about sewage related solids in rivers or being washed up on beaches. Many of the problems caused by private sewage treatment systems are because systems are not looked after properly or maintai

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
