Section 205B Implementation reportsF1

England and Wales

(1)

A relevant undertaker must, together with each pollution incident reduction plan that it publishes (except the first), publish an implementation report.

(2)

An implementation report is a report containing the undertaker’s assessment of—

(a)

the extent to which it succeeded in implementing the planned measures during the preceding calendar year, and

(b)

to the extent that it failed to implement those measures during that year—

(i)

the reasons for that failure, and

(ii)

how the undertaker intends to avoid repeating that failure in respect of any measures in its current plan that are the same as, or similar to, those in respect of which the failure occurred.

(3)

In subsection (2), “the planned measures”, in relation to an undertaker and a calendar year, means the measures set out in its previous pollution incident reduction plans so far as they were (according to those plans) likely to be implemented in that year.

(4)

Subsections (6), (7) and (8) of section 205A apply in relation to implementation reports as they apply in relation to pollution incident reduction plans.
