Summary

These guidelines provide general guidance to all who enjoy the use of waterways, estuaries and coastal waters, and are particularly relevant to users of powered boats and operators of boating support facilities. The information given is additional to any specific bye-laws or licensing conditions that apply to the waterway being used. They are jointly produced by the Environment Agency, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) and the Environment and Heritage Service for Northern Ireland, referred to here as the Agency or Agencies. Please contact your local Agency office for further information. Contact details can be found at the end of these guidelines. Note. Reference is made in these guidelines to absorbents. These are generally materials that will attract oil and repel water. Under no circumstances should emulsifiers or detergents be used on oil spillages. In England, the storage of oils is covered by the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001. Highlighted text in these guidelines indicates areas that must be complied with under these Regulations. Similar regulations are expected to be introduced in Scotland during 2004 and may follow in Northern Ireland and Wales. Further advice may be obtained from your local Agency office. Contact details can be found at the end of these guidelines.
