Brislington - Watchlist site 17

This site in Brislington, Bristol is currently part of a multi-agency investigation for suspected illegal waste activities and appropriate enforcement action will be taken.  

The Environment Agency’s Area Enforcement team for Wessex, together with the local authority are monitoring the site to determine and prevent any risk to the environment.

The presence of an illegal waste transfer station (where waste is dropped off, temporarily stored, or sorted) on site may cause odours. Also currently stored on site is a quantity of end-of-life vehicles that have not been depolluted (battery, fuel, oil etc. removed). These are classed as hazardous waste and may cause pollution.

We have issued notices for information and sent letters to the operator of watchlist site 17 requiring illegal activities to stop.

 We will continue to monitor the site until we have additional resources, intelligence to pursue further investigations.
