Environmental Regulation (Scotland) Charging Scheme 2018 – Charging Guidance (link)
This guidance document explains how to determine charges under the Environmental Regulation (Scotland) Charging Scheme 2018.
This Scheme allows SEPA to charge for the following.
– Application charges: which are one-off charges intended to recover our costs when a person applies for a new authorisation or applies to change an existing authorisation.
– Annual changes: which are charges paid every year to recover our on-going costs of regulating an authorised activity.
The Scheme sets charges for the following types of authorisations:
– waste management licences and exemptions;
– pollution prevention and control permits;
– authorisations for holding/use/disposal of radioactive substances;
– authorisations and registrations for discharges to water, water abstraction, impoundment and engineering; and
– registrations and authorisations for disposal to land.
