Regulation and Legislation
The first report of the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) is warning that the “natural environment in England remains under serious threat” with “little good news to report.”
A raw sewage discharge which lasted 23 hours and killed 5,000 fish in a Northamptonshire river.has cost Anglian Water a total of £560,170 in court.
Multi-national owned International Paint Ltd, owned by multi-national AkzoNobel, was fined £650,000 and ordered to pay costs of £144,992 in court yesterday after a banned chemical entered the Site of Special Scientific Interest designated Yealm estuary in Devon.
The Government has announced it will make sustainable drainage systems mandatory to new developments in England – the new approach to sustainable drainage is set to reduce flood risk and clean up rivers.
Water UK is warning that a new Government proposal to tackle nutrient pollution in rivers will have the unintended consequence of forcing water companies to rebuild sewage treatment works with solutions that must (without exception) use new concrete and steel – rather than creating woodlands, reed beds and wetlands that can be faster, more effective, and cheaper.
