Request Received: 5 August 2023
Rothera research station's sewage treatment plant is currently not working, such that only solids are screened out. All liquid sewage from the station is discharged into North Cove. I have the following questions about this situation:
1) On what date did the malfunction causing this occur, and what is the malfunction?
2) What actions have been taken already to fix the plant?
3) Has the environmental impact of this malfunction been assessed?
4) Has the BAS Environment Office been notified in writing, and if so when was that done?
5) Has a plan been produced to mitigate the environmental impact of the malfunction and resulting discharge?
6) Has a plan been produced to fix the malfunction, and what is this plan if it exists?
