Citation and commencement 1. These Regulations may be cited as the Action Programme for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 and come into force on 24th January 2010. Amendments to the Action Programme for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (Scotland) Regulations 2008 2. The Action Programme for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (Scotland) Regulations 2008(b) are amended in accordance with regulations 3 to 9. Amendment of regulation 3 3.—(1) Regulation 3 (interpretation) is amended as follows. (2) After the definition of “crop requirement” insert— ““derogated farm” means a farm over which a derogation has been granted; “derogation” means a derogation from the annual limit of nitrogen in livestock manure that can be applied to land granted by the Scottish Ministers in accordance with regulations 14, 14A and 14B; (a) 1972 c.68. Section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46), Schedule 8, paragraph 15(3) and by the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.51) section 27(1). The function conferred on the Minister of the Crown under section 2(2) was, so far as within devolved competence, transferred to the Scottish Ministers by section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998. (b) S.S.I. 2008/298 as amended by S.S.I. 2008/394. 2 “derogation application” means an application for a derogation submitted by the occupier of a farm;”. (3) After the definition of “farmyard manure” insert— ““fertilisation accounts” means accounts providing such information relating to the management of nitrogen and phosphate inputs during the preceding calendar year as the Scottish Ministers may specify in accordance with regulation 25(3);”. (4) After the definition of “grassland” insert— ““grassland farm” means a farm where 80% or more of the agricultural area available for manure application is permanent grassland or temporary grassland (temporary implying leys of less than four years), including crops under-sown with grass but excluding grassland with 50% or more clover; “grazing livestock” means cattle (with the exclusion of veal calves), sheep, deer, goats and horses;”. (5) After the definition of “organic manure with high available nitrogen content” insert— ““phosphate fertiliser” means any substance containing one or more phosphate compounds used on land to enhance growth of vegetation and includes organic manure;”. Amendment of regulation 5 4.—(1) Regulation 5 (fertiliser and manure management plan) is amended as follows. (2) Omit “and” where it appears at the end of regulation 5(3)(b). (3) After regulation 5(3)(c), insert— “and (d) in respect of derogated farms, in addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) to (c)— (i) a note of the number of livestock and a description of the housing and storage system that includes the volume of manure storage available; (ii) a calculation of manure nitrogen (less losses in housing and storage) and phosphate produced in the farm; (iii) a description of the crop rotation and area of each crop, including a sketch map indicating location of individual fields; (iv) a calculation of the foreseeable nitrogen and phosphate crop requirements; (v) a note of the amount and the type of manure delivered outside the farm or to the farm; (vi) the results of soil analysis related to nitrogen and phosphate soil status, if available; (vii) a note of the nitrogen and phosphate application from manure over each field; and (viii) a calculation of the application of nitrogen and phosphate with chemical and other fertilisers over each field.”. (4) After regulation 5(5), insert— “(6) Fertiliser and manure management plans in respect of derogated farms shall be revised no later than 7 days after any changes in agricultural practice at the farm.”. Amendment of regulation 14 5.—(1) Regulation 14 (annual farm limit of nitrogen in livestock manure) is amended as follows. (2) At the beginning of paragraph (1), insert “Subject to paragraph (4),”. 3 (3) After paragraph (3), insert— “(4) The occupier of any grassland farm within a nitrate vulnerable zone may apply to the Scottish Ministers for a derogation from the annual farm limit of nitrogen in livestock manure specified in paragraph (1). (5) Any derogation granted shall last until the conclusion of the calendar year to which it relates, and shall be subject to renewal. (6) Where the Scottish Ministers grant a derogation, the total annual amount of nitrogen in livestock manure from grazing livestock applied to the derogated farm, whether directly by an animal or by spreading, must not exceed 250kg multiplied by the area of the derogated farm in hectares. (7) Any application for a derogation shall be made in accordance with regulation 14A and any grant of a derogation shall be subject to the conditions of regulation 14B.”. Insertion of regulations 14A and 14B 6.—(1) After regulation 14, insert— “Application for a derogation from the annual farm limit of nitrogen in livestock manure 14A.—(1) The occupier of any grassland farm within a nitrate vulnerable zone who wishes to apply to the Scottish Ministers for a derogation must submit an application— (a) by 30th April of the calendar year to which the application pertains (in respect of applications other than those pertaining to 2009); (b) by 31st January 2010 in respect of applications pertaining to 2009. (2) The Scottish Ministers must publish electronically the manner and form in which the derogation application must be made. (3) Where the farm in respect of which a derogation is applied for benefited from a derogation during the calendar year preceding that to which the application relates, the application shall be accompanied by the fertilisation accounts for that preceding calendar year. (4) The Scottish Ministers must approve or refuse a derogation application within 21 days from its receipt and notify the applicant of the decision in writing. (5) Where the Scottish Ministers refuse a derogation application, they shall give the occupier reasons for the refusal. Conditions of a derogation from the annual farm limit of nitrogen in livestock manure 14B. A derogation shall be subject to the following conditions— (a) total nitrogen inputs shall not exceed the foreseeable nutrient demand of the considered crop, taking into account the supply from the soil; (b) livestock manure shall not be spread in the autumn before grass cultivation; (c) grass on sandy soils, if ploughed, shall only be ploughed in spring; (d) ploughed grass on all soil types shall be followed immediately by a crop with high nitrogen demand; (e) crop rotation shall not include leguminous or other plants fixing atmospheric nitrogen, other than clover in grassland with less than 50% clover or leguminous plants under-sown with grass; (f) nitrogen and phosphate soil sampling and analysis shall be carried out at least once every four years for, as a minimum, every five hectares of the farm that, having regard to crop rotation and soil characteristics, can reasonably be considered homogeneous; and 4 (g) fertilisation accounts for each calendar year for which a derogation is granted shall be prepared and submitted to the Scottish Ministers by 30th April of the following year.”. Amendment of Regulation 25 7.—(1) Regulation 25 (records to be kept) is amended as follows. (2) For regulation 25(2) substitute— “(2) The occupier of a derogated farm must, in addition to the records to be kept under paragraph (1), keep records of— (a) the derogation application and decision; (b) the fertiliser and manure management plan referred to in regulation 5; (c) fertilisation accounts; and (d) the results of nitrogen and phosphate analysis in soil referred to in regulation 14B.
