An Environmental Event is an incident which has, or may have, an environmental impact.

Once a report is submitted, our 24 hour contact centre will action it.

This report must NOT be used in place of notifying emergency services when there is an immediate threat to life, health and/or property. Contact the Pollution hotline on 0800 80 70 60.

For details on what SEPA does or does not do, please go to our FAQ page.
