Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have and comply with an environmental permit for a waste operation when you use final effluent from sewage treatment works to fill empty petrol tanks to prevent vapour build up and explosion during renovation, improvement or construction works at petrol stations.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
