Environmental permitting — washdown water and trade effluent →

Vehicle wash-down water must not enter surface water drains or Derbyshire watercourses. Severn Trent Water trade effluent consent required for discharge to the public sewer from Derby vehicle wash bays and depots. Train maintenance and cleaning operations at rail depots such as Etches Park are subject to Environment Agency environmental permit conditions — depot wash-down water management must comply with permit discharge limits.
