SEPA has launched a consultation on its proposed new guidance for regulating odorous emissions from regulated sites. The guidance SEPA staff currently use comes from several technical guidance documents, including the draft H4 guidance on odour.  SEPA has now updated and developed a single odour guidance document for use in Scotland, which should benefit both SEPA staff, the public and the operators they regulate. They have taken into account aspects of all Scottish Regulatory regimes within SEPA’s remit, especially Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) and Waste Management Licensing Regulations (WMLR). This guidance is intended as an introduction to the regulation of odour. It refers to other available guidance and best practice on the control of odorous emissions.Responses to this consultation should be submitted by Friday 29 August 2008.
