Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment)
(England) Regulations came into force on 1 January 2015 and created
General Binding Rules (GBRs) for septic tanks or small sewage
treatment plants for domestic use. These rules are designed to reduce
the level of
pollution caused by sewage in the nation's watercourses.
Under these Environmental Permitting Regulations, if you have a
septic tank that discharges directly to surface water, ie, a water ditch,
stream, river, etc, you must upgrade or replace your septic tank to a
full sewage treatment plant system by 1st January 2020, or sooner if
you plan to sell your property before this date.
Is
your
septic
tank
2020
compliant?
