We're launching a series of free guides to keep you abreast of the key aspects of environmental legislation within the UK. Experts have written 'Rough Guides' to assist with understanding a piece of legislation, what you need to know and how to comply. More Rough Guides will be added soon – in the meantime, if you have particular legislation which we haven’t covered, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to add a Rough Guide for you.

This Guide deals with the SSAFO regulations specifying the minimum legal standards required to prevent pollution of water from agriculture. It aims to minimise risk of water pollution from silage, slurry and agricultural fuel oil. All facilities installed relating to the storage of silage slurry or agricultural fuel oil need to comply fully with the SSAFO regulations.

It also covered better management of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
