Airport let illegal level of pollutant enter river

The airport pleaded guilty at Derby Crown Court to three charges relating to incidents between January 14 and February 4, 2022, when the airport breached its environmental permit conditions.

All charges involved excessive levels of biochemical oxygen demand (Bod) in wastewater discharged from the airport's facilities.

The Environment Agency grants EMA a permit to discharge de-icing materials into the Trent and Diseworth Brook between November and April.
