Air, Land & Water Quality
This section contains information regarding the quality of our
Air, Land and Water. The Council is responsible for the protection
of our physical environment - along with partners from other
agencies such as the Welsh Assembly Government and Environment
Agency Wales. We have a team dedicated to the monitoring
of pollution in Neath Port Talbot.
- Air Quality Strategy & Clean Air
Charter
Our local Air Quality Strategy sets out our strategic policy for
achieving cleaner air.
- Bathing Water Quality
High quality bathing waters are important for a wide variety of
interests and to support our local tourism industry.
Monitoring the quality of these waters provides us with an
indication of any possible health risks of bathing in the
sea.
- Contaminated Land
Historical industries located in Neath Port Talbot have left areas
of the Borough with a legacy of contaminated land. Some of this
land can be harmful to health and has to be dealt with. We have a
legal duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to identify,
keep a register of, and arrange the clean up of this land. This is
to protect the people who live there now and in the
future.
- Industrial Pollution Control
Your business may need an environmental permit from the Council or
the Environment Agency before it can operate. The Council is
responsible for regulating a wide range of businesses ranging from
dry cleaners and petrol stations to large industrial manufacturing
plant. Regulations specify which business need to apply, but please
contact us if you have any queries.
- Pollution Monitoring Reports
We have a number of reports available for you to view.
