Are You Compliant With Regulation 61?
The Environment Agency has issued Regulation 61 which requires airports to sample their water to check for micropollutants.
Failing to comply with the regulation is an offence under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 and can lead to legal action.
Veolia has the expertise to support airports with water sampling, ensuring complete compliance with Regulation 61.
