My takeaway is that it is actions that are within the scope of existing legislation that would otherwise not have happened, but that are also subject to less oversight, and would not have happened in the same circumstance were we still within the EU.

I'm not sure what this means. But I'm definitely not trying to have an argument with you about anything. I was curious about the background behind the post.

My takeaway is quite biased towards EU membership being generally a GoodThing though.

This was and is my position as well.

I may have let the sentence run on for a bit.

It doesn't look as though what happened needed any legislation - it just needed the Environment Agency to give permission to dump effluent.

My take is that this wouldn't have happened if we were still in the EU, as it would have been called out by EU wonks as being NotCool, even if permitted under EU / UK law.

(Irrespective of there not being a shortage of chemicals were we still EU members.)

How very dare you.
