On 1 September this year the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 come fully into force and will affect all industrial, commercial, or institutional sites that externally store at least 200 litres of oil in drums, intermediate bulk containers, or fixed tanks. The Environment Agency, responsible for enforcing the regulations throughout England, takes a very strong line with polluters, especially when negligence is a significant factor, so affected companies need to be fully prepared.
