Compliance With Your Abstraction Licence
As businesses recover from the pandemic, responsible steps are still expected to comply with regulatory requirements.
Covid-19 is still casting a cloud of uncertainty over the world and while many aspects of life are slowly returning to a more familiar way, others are not quite there. However, you can add a little more certainty by completing your water abstraction returns.
The Environment Agency has just informed us on current updates, ‘At this time, there’s no deadline for submitting your returns for the abstraction period 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020’. The Environment Agency still expects responsible steps to be taken to comply with regulatory requirements; just because there are no deadlines does not mean compliance goes out the window! It is important to continue collecting abstraction volumes and any other data that may be required by your licence, even if they are not submitted.
