The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has published a consultation seeking views on proposed changes to the charging scheme for activities that will be regulated under the proposed changes to the Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018. It is part of the Scottish Government and SEPA’s Better Regulation Programme and aims to deliver a risk-based, proportionate system of environmental regulation.
The consultation will include proposals to amend charges for waste, water and industrial activities covered by the regulations, provide an explanation as to how the charges were calculated, and set out the new or amended charging descriptions as they would appear in the charging scheme and on SEPA invoices.
This consultation closes on 29th September 2024.
