The Environment Agency has published time-limited COVID-19 regulatory position statements (RPSs) in relation to certain regulatory requirements. They will help minimise risks to the environment and human health where, for reasons beyond the operator’s control, compliance with certain regulatory requirements may not be possible due to coronavirus.
The RPSs also cover specific circumstances where the Environment Agency is relaxing normal regulatory requirements. This is to avoid increasing risks to the environment or human health during the particular circumstances of the coronavirus outbreak.
