The Environment Agency (EA) issues Regulatory Position Statements (RPSs). These explain the situations and conditions when an environmental permit is not required.
The EA issued temporary RPSs last year in the run up to the Brexit Exit days.
The EA has now issued 3 temporary RPSs to deal with COVID-19 – here.
Two address waste issues, and one deals with water sampling.
The exceeding waste storage limits RPS is similar to the temporary Brexit RPS that was issued last year.
