Environmental Protection Agency: Financial Statements 2017

Ms Laura Burke:

It is like everything in that it is not quite that straightforward. There are 71 sites that are high priority. Some are local authority sites that we regulate, some are what we call pre-1977 sites, which are not due to be regulated, some are illegal sites and others are private sites. It is not 71 of 285 sites that are high priority but 71 of 500.
