#TeamEA joined @cumbriapolice and @dvsa for #OpInvigor, conducting vehicle stop checks in Carlisle.

Our drone captured visuals of waste transport vehicles to ensure compliance. Drones enhance our operation, giving us eyes in places we couldn't reach before.

A much improved picture for watercourses following @CanalRiverTrust's repair of a collapsed canal embankment at #Woodplumpton in #Lancashire.

Our fisheries officers have been out to the River Wyre and other watercourses today and saw no environmental impact from the silt.

[Env Agency NW @EnvAgencyNW]

We have been unable to identify the source of oil pollution in Dover's Brook on Thursday, near Sefton Meadows Ind Estate.

As well as contaminating the environment, the oil affected wild birds.

Anyone with information please call our Incident Hotline [phone]

[Env Agency NW @EnvAgencyNW]

Our officers have been out investigating reports of silt pollution on watercourses including the River Wyre, River Brock, New Draught and New Mill Brook.

Likely linked to the collapse of a canal embankment at #Woodplumpton in #Lancashire. We are liaising with @CanalRiverTrust

[Env Agency NW @EnvAgencyNW]

Our officers were out at first light to deploy a boom and absorbent pads at an oil spill in Dovers Brook at Maghull, Merseyside.

We are working to minimise the environmental impact and investigating the source.
