- Coal Authority The proposed development lies within a coal mining area which may contain unrecorded coal mining related hazards. If any coal mining feature is encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848. Further information is also available on the Coal Authority website at: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/the-coal-authority
- Operators of petrol filling stations should take appropriate measures to manage their sites to ensure they do not cause an unacceptable risk to groundwater quality. The Environment Agency has powers to take action where groundwater pollution occurs or is likely to occur. If pollution was to occur, Section 161, Water Resources Act 1991 empowers us to recover all costs reasonably incurred in: - carrying out works, operations or investigations to prevent pollution of surface waters or groundwater; - undertaking remedial action following a pollution of surface waters or groundwater. Should we be required to undertake such work we would be able to recover these from the company or person responsible. Where we consider that other forms of control or voluntary action do not give sufficient protection to groundwater, we will serve EPR groundwater activity notices to avoid or restrict inputs of pollutants to groundwater including from, for example, underground storage and distribution facilities
