EA publish four temporary COVID-19 regulatory position statements

The Environment Agency has published four temporary COVID-19 regulatory position statements (COVID-19 RPSs). These cover:
• Monitoring and reporting
• Regulated industry installations (non-waste)
• Waste management (excluding radioactive waste)
• Water industry
The Agency states that “each COVID-19 RPS sets out when they apply and the conditions you must comply with”. The obligation to comply with all other environmental regulatory requirements remains. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/covid-19-regulatory-position-statements
