Environmental Protection/Water - Wales
The Nitrate Pollution Prevention (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 amend the Nitrate Pollution Prevention (Wales) Regulations 2013. The amendment creates an exception for occupiers who have been granted a derogation from the requirement to ensure that, in any year beginning 1 January, the total amount of nitrogen in livestock manure applied to the holding does not exceed 170 kg multiplied by the area of the holding in hectares. It introduces a procedure by which an application for a derogation must be made. The amendment also sets out additional requirements to be met by an occupier of a derogated holding.
