These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, prescribe the particulars of the matters required by section 41 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 to be included in the registers maintained by river purification authorities. Those matters include applications for discharge consents, consents relating to the removal of deposits and vegetation and to discharges and the conditions to which they are subject, and certificates of exemption. The Regulations also require inclusion in the registers of the results of analysis of samples of effluent and water taken by authorities and of effluent taken by islands councils from their own discharges.
Section 41(2) of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 requires each river purification authority to secure that the registers are open to inspection by the public free of charge at all reasonable hours. It also requires them to afford members of the public reasonable facilities for obtaining copies of entries in the register on payment of reasonable charges.
These Regulations supersede the Control of Pollution (Registers) Regulations 1985 which are revoked.
