Works Notices and Enforcement Notices
Works Notices
In England, Wales and Scotland, your Environmental Regulator has the power to serve a Works Notice on you to prevent or remedy water pollution. Such notices can be served before pollution has occurred if, in the opinion of the Environmental Regulator, a polluting substance is likely to enter surface waters or groundwater. The Environmental Regulator may also serve a Works Notice to ensure that waters are cleaned up after pollution has occurred.
In Northern Ireland, EHS has the power to serve a number of Notices on you to prevent or remedy water pollution. Notices can be served before pollution has occurred if, in the opinion of the Regulator, a polluting substance is likely to enter surface waters or groundwater. EHS may also serve Notice where it is of the opinion that conditions of a Discharge Consent are contravened and a further Notice to ensure that waters are cleaned up after pollution has occurred.
You must comply with any Works Notices issued by the Environmental Regulator requiring preventative measures, removal of polluting matter and/or restoration of environmental damage caused by pollution emanating from your business.
Enforcement Notices
The Environmental Regulator may serve an Enforcement Notice where it believes that a breach of consent is likely to occur or has occurred. The Enforcement Notice specifies the steps to be taken and the timescale.
