Environment Agency grants contentious Hinkley C water discharge permit

 The Environment Agency has granted a contentious water discharge activity
(WDA) permit to NNB Generation Company at Hinkley Point C near
Burnham-On-Sea.

The decision has provoked concerns from the Stop Hinkley
campaign group. It comes as the Environment Agency says it has added new
limits and conditions to the permit variation requested by the company
“to protect people and the environment”.

A WDA permit allows the company to discharge returned abstracted seawater from the cooling water system, fish recovery and return system and other liquid trade effluents,
including treated sewage effluent, to the Bristol Channel.
