Making compliance data returns easier: Environment Agency seeks engagement from landfill operators

21 August 2015

The Environment Agency is developing a digital solution to make it easier for regulated operators to submit their compliance data. A simple prototype has been created and the Agency wants to gather user feedback so iterative improvements can be made to create a system which works for their customers.

The Agency would like to invite landfill operators who submit emissions compliance and /or pollution inventory data in any format, to get involved. Feedback will be gathered in a variety of ways according to operators' availability, including providing links to the prototype and telephone interviews, face to face interviews or invitation to group feedback session.

This is a great opportunity to influence what the Environment Agency is doing and help create a system that works for your organisation. The Agency is interested in engaging with a cross section of landfill operators, with different levels of digital ability. This type of digital development moves rapidly, so if those wishing to be involved should get in touch as soon as possible by emailing name, address and contact details to: Chris.Keller-Jackson@environment-agency.gov.uk
