The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2014 remove requirements small sewage discharge operators to register septic tanks or sewage treatment plant, to keep records of maintenance for five years and to notify the Environment agency if the discharge ceases. This amendment primarily applies to rural households and businesses not connected to the mains sewer, where the septic tank or sewage treatment plant meets with general binding rules.
