About

• Under various pieces of legislation, SEPA have to maintain certain information about activities we regulate in registers and make that information available to the public. These different registers of information are commonly referred to together as "the Public Register".
• In December 2020 we lost access to much of our Public Register documentation. We have continued to provide a service in response to requests for Public Register information and we also provide access to some Public Register information online.
• We are also creating a new on-line digital Public Register service which will make most of our regulatory documents and data publicly available. This ambitious five-year project is part of our digital transformation.

As part of the start of this process we are publishing key Public Register data about:

• authorisations under:
  • Industrial activities - Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC)
  • Waste regimes
  • Water - Controlled Activities Regulations (CAR)
• controlled reservoirs

Where applicable, this includes data on authorised sites, authorisation holder and authorisation number, but does not include authorisation documents themselves.
