SEPA CONSULTATION
*_
_*SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) has opened a 
consultation on Proposed Changes to the Environmental Regulation 
(Scotland) Guidance and Public Participation and Fit and Proper Person Test.

The proposals will change how SEPA authorise and regulate waste 
management, water and industrial activities.

Proposed changes:
Public participation – adding a requirement to SEPA’s Public 
Participation Statement that for some authorisations, prospective 
applicants will need to engage in public consultation at the 
pre-application stage
Who can hold an authorisation – updating SEPA’s approach to how they 
determine if an applicant is a fit and proper person and can hold a 
registration or permit (the ‘Fit and Proper Person’ test.

SEPA would really like to hear your views and would welcome responses to 
their consultation. Feedback helps them to understand what matters most 
to people and how they can design and deliver their services for the 
future of the environment.
