The Anti-Pollution Works Regulations (Scotland) 2003 aim to prevent and control pollution from activities that are likely to cause water or land pollution. The regulations set out the requirements for anyone carrying out such activities, including obtaining relevant permits, implementing pollution prevention measures, and notifying the relevant authorities of any incidents that may cause pollution. The regulations apply to anyone carrying out activities that may cause pollution, including individuals, companies, and organizations, in Scotland.
Under The Anti-Pollution Works Regulations (Scotland) 2003, there are requirements for evidence to be provided to demonstrate compliance with the regulations. This evidence may include monitoring data, records of actions taken to prevent pollution, and documentation related to permits and notifications. The regulations require the responsible person to keep these records for a specified period and make them available to the relevant authorities upon request. Additionally, the regulations require the responsible person to provide evidence that they have taken all reasonable steps to prevent pollution and have complied with any conditions set out in their permit or authorization. Failure to provide adequate evidence may result in enforcement action being taken against the responsible person.
There are several exemptions to The Anti-Pollution Works Regulations (Scotland) 2003, which include:
It's important to note that even if an activity is exempt from requiring a permit or authorization under these regulations, it still must not cause pollution and the responsible person must take all reasonable steps to prevent pollution.
