Was that given by building control or EA?

 

EA authorised it’s use in our situation and this passed on to BC, EA were very helpful as I had to tell them which water course it ended up in, but I didn’t know or find out, she asked for my postcode and she worked out our outfall ended up in the Tamar.

So BC come out to the site for the first time. Some super bad news about our foundations (I'll make another post). However he said that as far as he was concerned the discharge of the sewage plant was not his remit and it was an EA item. From memory he said you couldn;t discharge into a dry ditch (Which is true).

 

So couple of points:

- Will EA ever come out and check?

- Do I approach EA , and whats the best way? @joe90 how did you contact them?

 

Thanks

@gc100 try https://www.gov.uk/guidance/discharges-to-surface-water-and-groundwater-environmental-permits. Or. This is the company I bought my Vortex from and they gave useful information https://www.wte-ltd.co.uk/. Or Email enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk. The Vortex can discharge to a ditch that’s dry for part of the year, which is what we have, no one checked to tell If I was telling the truth?
