Costs
For more information on our charges please see our Charging for discharges (CfD) charges page.
- Charging for discharges (CfD) charges
We raise charges to recover the costs of issuing discharge consents and monitoring discharges and their impact on receiving waters. Discharges to controlled waters from activities subject to the Environmental Permitting regime are charged under that scheme.
