Compliance ratings for waste and installation permits

TheĀ Ā on data.gov.uk contains compliance ratings for all waste and installation permits. We use compliance ratings to help assess the risks from a regulated facility. It helps us identify the operators and facilities that pose a higher risk to the environment and where we need to spend more time regulating and carrying out compliance assessments. Ratings A and B indicate good performance whilst bands D, E and F indicate poor performance.

Pollution inventory

TheĀ Ā on data.gov.uk contains information from theĀ pollution inventoryĀ for each release type (to air, land and waste transfers off-site). The data is grouped by sector for the industrial activities we regulate.
