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

Our science expertise supports our remit to ensure compliance with UK, European and international environmental legislation.
Our Environmental Assessment Unit (EAU) is responsible for the initiation, development and provision or dissemination of expert environmental modelling and data assessment (statistics and data trend information) systems. The EAU makes national reports of data for statutory r
Banned F-gases
There are two primary bans related to the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS). These measures are crucial for reducing environmental impact and combating climate change.
2020 Ban on High-GWP F-gases: This ban prohibits the use of virgin F-gases with a global warming potential (GWP) of 2500 or above for servicing or maintaining existing refrigeration

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

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
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
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.

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
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
