Supporting Guidance (WAT-SG-15) Oil storage at sites where there is an onward distribution (link)

This document provides guidance for operators on the changes in regulation applicable to sites which store oil for onward distribution. It describes, among other things, the levels of authorisation available for the storing of oil under the Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (as amended) (CAR).

One significant change will be that oil storage at sites where storage is for onward distribution will no longer be exempt from these Regulations, and there is now a General Binding Rule (GBR28) with rules which apply to any storage of oil above ground.
