Information regarding activities that may be exempt from waste management licensing, and the statutory controls to prevent environmental pollution and harm to human health

Information regarding activities that may be exempt from waste management licensing, and the statutory controls to prevent environmental pollution and harm to human health Complex waste exemptions and simple waste exemptions Activities exempt from Waste Management Licensing Normally if you manage waste you must hold a Waste Management Licence (WML) or Pollution Prevention Control (PPC) permit. However, some waste management activities are exempt from the full requirements of WMLs and PPC permits. These are called ‘exempt activities’. If you plan to carry out an exem

Page icon Aquatic Classification

There are a number of significant environmental problems caused by a number of pressures, including diffuse and point source pollution, alterations to beds, banks and shores, alterations to water levels and flows and the presence of invasive non-native species. In order to measure these pressures and their potential effects, we use an aquatic classification system which covers rivers, lochs, estuaries, coastal and groundwater bodies. These are split into management units called water bodies, with a classification produced for each body (the number of water bodies between years varies slightly, as some water body boundaries are reviewed to ensure that they can be managed appropriately).

We produce an annual Water Framework Directive (WFD) Classification for all the water bodies in Scotland. Classification results for 2007 to the current year can be found on the Water Classification Hub. Most of our water environment is already in a good condition and subject to fewer pressures than most other European waters. However, there are significant environmental problems caused by a numbe

Marine finfish farming across Scotland operates using open-net pens. Several hundred thousand fish will be farmed at most farms. Fish excreta; uneaten food; used fish medicines and other chemicals are discharged through the nets into the marine environment. Sea lice larvae hatching from adult female sea lice on the farmed fish can also pass through the nets into the surrounding coastal waters. Dis
