Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG)

The Environment Agency have in conjunction with DEFRA developed a series of PPG (Pollution Prevention Guideline) documents to assist site operators and business owners in meeting with the applicable legislation.

They combine good working practice with the relevant areas of the Oil Storage Regulations and are a useful tool to anyone who has the responsibility of storing either fuel or oil on site.

PPG1 - General Guide to the Prevention of Pollution

PPG2 - Above Ground Oil Storage Tanks

PPG3 - Use of Oil Interceptors

PPG5 - Works & Maintenance Near Water

PPG21 - Spill Response Planning
