MOWI Scotland Limited: Muck CAR Application

Overview

It is part of SEPA’s remit to protect the marine environment. We regulate finfish farms through permits that limit the pollutants discharged to the water environment and, where appropriate, the amount of water which can be abstracted.

If you have an interest in this application please tell us by completing the following questions and submitting them to us by 17 May 2022.

  • Organic matter
  • Medicine residues

How we will manage responses

At the end of the consultation, we will publish all comments. You can tell us within the consultation if you do not want your comment published. If this is the case, we will publish a note saying that we received a response but have not made it publicly available.

We will write to everyone who responded to the consultation and provided contact details, outlining the feedback received, how it has been taken into account and our proposed decision.  If you disagree with our decision, you will be given the opportunity to request that Scottish Ministers ‘call-in’ the application for their determination.

Scottish Minister may agree to call-in an application if: 

• The representation provides clear reason for the objection, supported by evidence, and
• The objection relates to material considerations raised during determination of the application.

The full criteria for Ministerial consideration are listed on gov.scot.

The final decision will be published on this website along with the authorisation, if granted.

What happens next
