The Groundwater (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 amend the Groundwater Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 to improve its clarity. The amendment revises provisions on groundwater chemical status, assessing this status while requiring greater consideration of baselines and inputs. A Schedule inserted provides threshold values for assessing groundwater chemical status and the risk to wetlands.
