Revising the Scottish Pollutant Release Inventory (SPRI)
pollutant list and reporting requirements
The purpose of this consultation is to seek
comments on the proposed revision of the Scottish Pollutant Release
Inventory (SPRI) pollutant list and other reporting requirements.
This is the first time the SPRI pollutant substance list has been
subject to review since its introduction in 2002.
Our proposal should reduce the regulatory burden
on industry and simplify the SPRI system. We are proposing the
removal of substances from the SPRI reporting list that are not
currently reported, infrequently reported or not required to be
reported under legislation.
The consultation provides information on what
substances SEPA intends to retain within the SPRI pollutant list,
the substances it proposes to remove and a justification for the
decision-making.
This consultation also provides additional
suggestions for revising the methods of reporting substances.
