Linda, Michael, many thanks for sending on this email. I have now discussed the case with our regulatory team and note the following:

1. A private water supply is providing water to the site. This appears to be a pipe connection from a nearby farm. SEPA has no concerns in this respect.

2. Portaloo toilet facilities are on-site and appear to be used also for the disposal of ‘grey-water’ i.e. water from showers and dish or clothing washing. These portaloos are taken off-site for emptying or are emptied on site by tanker disposal. SEPA has no concerns in this respect.

3. We have no evidence of any pollution being caused at the site due to unauthorised disposal of waste water.

I hope this email assists with the committee meeting tomorrow.

Regards,
