Abstract

This record holds data from 2015 to 2020. Previous years data is available on request. We use compliance ratings to help assess the risks from a regulated facility. An operator’s compliance record will affect whether they pay a subsistence charge that is higher or lower than the base charge. We will calculate a compliance rating for an operator based on their compliance record. We calculate a compliance rating after a permit has been issued and use a standard approach called the Compliance Classification Scheme to classify permit breaches. A compliance rating only applies to a permit for a waste operation or installation. It does not apply to farming installations operated by members of the our Pig and Poultry Assurance Scheme, or waste mobile plant. We identify and record any non-compliances in the course of a calendar year – January to December. We use this information to work out a compliance rating based on a points system. For permits that cover more than one activity, the compliance rating will apply to the whole permit. We convert permit breaches into a points system. We add the points from each breach to calculate an annual total of non-compliance points. We allocate points based on the amount of extra work we usually have to do when dealing with different types of permit breaches. CCS Category breach 1 (most serious) 60 points CCS Category breach 2 (serious) 31 points CCS Category breach 3 (less serious) 4 points CCS Category breach 4 (minor) 0.1 points Based on the cumulative score over a calendar year, we place each site into one of six compliance bands A to F. Band A 0 points Discount of 5% on subsistence charge Band B 0.1-10 points No impact on subsistence charge Band C 10.1-30 points 10% increase on subsistence charge Band D 30.1-60 points 25% increase on subsistence charge Band E 60.1-149.9 points 50% increase on subsistence charge Band F 150+ points 200% increase on subsistence charge CHANGES TO THIS DATASET This dataset was previously provided in the Opra record. The Opra scheme has now been replaced by a new charging scheme. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2021. All rights reserved.
