Reservoirs (Scotland) Act 2011

Section 69 – Enforcement notice: safety and other measures

103.This section enables SEPA to serve an enforcement notice where a reservoir manager has failed to comply with the direction in either a safety report (under section 36(1)) or an inspection report (under section 48(1)). SEPA’s enforcement notice should specify a timeframe within which the reservoir manager must comply, the reasons for considering that this section applies and any steps SEPA consider must be taken to take the measure. A timeframe specified under subsection (2) should only be specified after consultation with a panel engineer under subsection (3).

104.Subsection (7) enables the Scottish Ministers by order to provide for reservoir managers to apply to SEPA for a review of its decision to give an enforcement notice and to appeal to the Scottish Ministers against a decision by SEPA to give an enforcement notice. Subsection (8) requires any order to specify the time period within which any review or appeal may be made where the order gives the right of review or appeal. It also enables the Scottish Ministers to make further provision in relation to reviews and appeals under this section.
