Environment Agency charge proposals from April 2019
We want your views on our charge proposals that will start in April 2019.
Detail
The proposals follow various changes implemented in April 2018 as a result of our Strategic Review of Charges (SRoC) programme.
These further changes are designed to:
- add clarity to existing charging schemes
- accommodate changes in costs of regulation
- make new charging scheme changes that were not included in the SRoC
The proposals cover:
- Environment Permitting Regulations (EPR) including closed landfill, Radioactive Substance Regulations, and other EPR changes
- The Environmental Protection (Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and other Dangerous Substances) (England and Wales) Regulations 2000
- Water abstraction - Dee and Wye standard charge only
- EU Emissions Trading Scheme
- Producer responsibility - Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Compliance Scheme
We invite comments from:
- charge-payers
- trade associations
- government, businesses and other regulators
- non-government organisations
- individuals
- community groups
- other interested parties
