Paragraph 33 Hazardous substances: baseline reports

Authorised persons holding a deemed permit for a schedule 20 emissions activity, where the activity involves the use, production or release of relevant hazardous substances, and which was in operation before 7 January 2013 (or where a complete application was submitted before that date and operation began no later than 7 January 2014) must submit a baseline report to SEPA in advance of the next update of the permit,

SEPA may, on request by the applicant, waive the requirement in sub-paragraph (1) to submit a baseline report, having regard for that purpose to the possibility of soil and groundwater contamination.
