site of special scientific interest" EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations, which apply to England only, amend the Environmental Protection (Restriction on Use of Lead Shot) (England) Regulations 1999 ("the 1999 Regulations") which apply in relation to England only. The 1999 Regulations prohibit the use of lead shot for shooting with a shot gun (a) on or over any area below the high-water mark; (b) on or over the sites of special scientific interest included in Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations; (c) any wild bird included in Schedule 2 to the 1999 Regulations. Regulation 2(2) of these Regulations substitutes a new Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations, providing a revised list of sites of special scientific interest to which the prohibition on the use of lead shot applies. Regulation 2(3) removes golden plover and common snipe from Schedule 2 of the 1999 Regulations. Details of the area covered by the sites of special scientific interest listed in the amended Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations can be obtained from English Nature at Northminster The Environmental Protection (Restriction on Use of Lead Shot) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 file:///D/HTML/uk34959.htm[16.01.2025 11:38:15] Other UK SIs | Home | National Assembly for Wales Statutory Instruments | Scottish Statutory Instruments | Statutory Rules of Northern Ireland | Her Majesty's Stationery Office We welcome your comments on this site © Crown copyright 2002 Prepared 4 September 2002 House, City Road, Peterborough, PE1 1UA.
