Submit an incident action plan to the Environment Agency

Imported from official source

Water companies in England and Wales can use this service to submit an incident action plan to the Environment Agency.

To submit an incident action plan, you’ll need to provide:

  • what work is required to prevent the incident from happening again, or move back into compliance
  • the date when you’ll deliver the work to prevent further non-compliance
  • the delivery cost of the work required to resolve the incident, if known
  • details of the measures taken to rectify, limit or prevent any pollution of the environment
  • National Incident Recording System (NIRS) reference for the incident, if known
  • date when the incident occurred, if known
  • unique ID for the site if you’re submitting an action plan for a dry day spill incident

    • The Environment Agency recommends using the ‘LIT110433: Incident action plans and duplication for incidents’ document to make sure your incident action plan meets the minimum requirements. If you do not have a copy of this document, contact your local Environment Agency officer or email: [email protected]

    You must agree to follow the guidelines set out in the LIT110433 document including:

  • updating the incident action plan at appropriate intervals as actions are delivered or delayed
  • submitting records of qualifying repeat incidents when requested by the Environment Agency
  • acknowledging that duplication will not be allowed where there is a deterioration in incident impacts or where a different root cause has been identified

    • Requirements for actions in a dry day spill incident action plan

    Your dry day spill incident action plan must contain at least one action:

  • with a completion date within the calendar year you submit it

    • For example, if you submit an incident action plan in 2026, it must include an action with a completion date no later than 31 December 2026.

    If the plan extends until 2028, you must also include an action in 2027 and 2028.
