(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 (“the 2021 Regulations”).
Regulation 2(2) amends regulation 2 of the 2021 Regulations to change the implementation date for regulations 4 and 36 of the 2021 Regulations from 31 October 2023 to 1 January 2024 for holdings or parts of holdings not previously situated within a nitrate vulnerable zone (“NVZ”).
Regulation 2(3) amends regulation 4 of the 2021 Regulations so the 170kg per hectare maximum limit of nitrogen in livestock manure applies to each 12-month period beginning with 1 January for holdings or parts of holdings not previously situated within an NVZ. This corresponds with the 12-month period already in force for holdings previously situated within an NVZ.
Regulation 2(4)(a) amends the definition of “previous 12 month period” in regulation 36(6) of the 2021 Regulations so the relevant record keeping period reflects the 12 month period beginning 1 January under regulation 4 for holdings or parts of holdings not previously situated within an NVZ. It also makes clear that the first relevant record keeping period for occupiers of holdings or parts of holdings not previously situated within an NVZ is 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.
Regulation 2(4)(b) amends the definition of “relevant date” in regulation 36(6) of the 2021 Regulations so that the occupiers of holdings or parts of holdings not previously situated within an NVZ must make a record of the relevant data required under regulation 36(1) before 30 April 2025 and 30 April for all years subsequently.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. A copy can be obtained from Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ and is published on www.gov.wales .
