Hand built hydro turbines

Environment Agency did not have the information requested.

Dear Environment Agency,

Please can you tell me how many 100kw hand-built DIY non accredited hydro turbines have been licensed? How many are operating and how the data of these unproven turbines is validated?

Hopefully your database will pick this up easily?

Yours faithfully,

Celia Earl

Enquiries, Unit, Environment Agency

Thank you for contacting the Environment Agency.

 

So when can I expect a response?

Our customer charter for general enquiries is 10 working days but you can
expect to receive a reply from us within 4 working days. If your enquiry
is of a technical nature this could take up to 20 working days. Please
note that bank holiday days and weekends are not classed as a working day.

 

If your enquiry refers to a Waste Exemption application you can expect to
receive a response within 5 working days (If you have applied for a T11
exemption you should expect to receive a response within 25 working days)

 

The Customer Charter (response days) for all enquiries start from the next
working day of you receiving this auto reply from us. For example the
customer charter for an e-mail received on a Friday, will start on the
following Monday (providing this isn’t a bank holiday).

 

For further information on our Customer Charter please visit our website

But my e-mail refers to an Environmental Incident, won’t it get answered
sooner?

If you wish to report an incident i.e. pollution, fish in distress,
dumping of hazardous waste, etc please do not use this e-mail service
instead please call our free-phone 24 hour Incident Hotline on 0800 80
70 60. For more details about incident reporting please see:

Will I be charged for e-mail information?

Please note that there may be a charge for the provision of information in
line with the 'Charging for Information' policy, however this isn’t always
the case for a general enquiry. Please visit our website for further
charging information:
