they are going around all farms, saying do this, or that.Has ea actually ever stopped anyone milking cows? Most farmers use it as an excuse. As long as you don’t pollute ea can’t do anything.
courtesy/advisory visit, first offence warning, 2nd, they prosecute. That is what they say.
if they use the rule book, trouble, if a softer approach ...............
they seem to want to be strict, its only a ploy to deflect blame from the sewage dischargers.
mate tells me, rather a lot of 'talks' re dispersals, esp from tenants.
has the potential to really hit hard, just depends on how they implement it. At xmas, my relation in there, says 'strict', but he retired at xmas, so nothing more from there. Lots of votes to be gained from making rivers cleaner.
saw the photo's of a flooded cubicle house, EA inspected discharge of slurry into river, decided it was flooding, so no fault, then sent the bill, for the cost of 'investigation'.
