Details
Our strategic approach to identifying and prioritising non-coal mines across England and Wales is set out in a joint project between the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Environment Agency. This project, along with a similar assessment carried out in Scotland by SEPA, will identify the water bodies most impacted by abandoned non-coal mines and the sites within them which are the source of pollution. The results of these projects will help to develop a national strategy.
