Question

To ask the Scottish Government how many licenses in March 2016 were assessed by SEPA as being non-complaint, and how many (a) remain non-compliant and (b) are subject to a final warning or enforcement action.


Answer

Annual compliance scheme figures for 2016 show that there were 440 non-compliant sites. Of these, 36 had formal enforcement action as follows:

  • 13 failing sites were issued with a Formal Warning Letter;
  • 23 failing sites were issued with a Enforcement Notice.

All sites currently classed as non-compliant have a system of regulatory oversight in place from SEPA to ensure they meet compliance requirements and address the issues that required enforcement action.
