<p>The Environment Agency is currently reviewing tens of millions of data from over
10,000 storm overflows for 2022. This involves modelling storm overflow discharge
data, rainfall data and rainfall radar information across England. This will identify
when spills from storm overflows have occurred on dry days, but further investigation
is then required to establish what caused the spill and or whether or not there has
been a breach of permit. This work will take several months to complete. Any breaches
of permit identified will be considered for action under the Environment Agency’s
Enforcement and Sanctions Policy.</p>
