Environmental regulation and biodiversity
An overview of how SEPA takes account of biodiversity when making regulatory decisions.
An overview of how SEPA takes account of biodiversity when making regulatory decisions.
Protecting habitats, species and Scotland’s ecosystem services is an integral part of SEPA’s regulatory remit. All our regulatory decisions should take account of potential effects on biodiversity and opportunities for biodiversity enhancement. We are responsible for setting standards in environmental licences that protect and help improve the state of water, land and air and the services that eco
Energy from waste
Scotland is making progress towards its waste targets by transforming residual waste into energy.
Residual waste – waste which cannot be reused, recycled or recovered – forms the lowest aspect of the waste hierarchy and is normally destined for landfill.
However, new technologies are being developed to allow the incineration of residual waste to produce electricity and heat by energy from waste (E
Monitoring
We have three categories of monitoring which have different but complementary purposes: surveillance, operational and investigative. This strategy ensures we are collecting the right information in the right place and allows us to concentrate our effort on the greatest risks to the environment.

We have many years of experience in monitoring and protecting the aquatic environment.
In 2007, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) introduced the need for a broader, more holistic approach to monitoring and classifying Scotland’s aquatic environment.
Its aim is to use data collected to protect and improve water bodies in order that they meet good ecological status, or similar objective.

Scottish Flood Forecasting Service
This strategic partnership between the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and the Met Office combines hydrological and meteorological information for the first time, so that both organisations can share their expertise to improve the accuracy of flood forecasts for the whole of Scotland.
We collect data from our network of over 250 rainfall, river and

Groundwater, how it is regulated and the guidanceand legislation that is used to protect it.
Groundwater resources are essential to many individuals, companies and communities to supply water for drinking, agriculture and industry. Groundwater also maintains wetlands and river flow during dry spells and is vital to the maintenance of their rich ecology and biodiversity.
We aim to provide a sustainable future for Scotland's groundwater resources by protecting the water environment and othe
Developing our flooding knowledge
We are continually working to develop and improve our knowledge on flood risk and flooding impacts and to identify new technologies to better support our flooding work.

Information regarding the regulation of petrol service stations.
Service stations are commonly thought of as petrol or filling stations. But in this instance, service stations also include commercial refuelling sites such as those found on Post Office or Ministry of Defence premises. All such activities will need some form of petrol vapour recovery.
A summary guidance note for Service Station Operators on Petrol Vapour Recovery Requirements under PPC has been p
