Environmental Impact Assessment and Natural Habitats (Extraction of Minerals by Marine Dredging) (Wales) Regulations 2007 (W.S.I. No. 2610 (W.221) of 2007)

W E L S H S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2007 No. 2610 (W.221) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, WALES The Environmental Impact Assessment and Natural Habitats (Extraction of Minerals by Marine Dredging) (Wales) Regulations 2007 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations implement in waters around Wales referred to in the Regulations as "Welsh waters": Council Directive 85/337/EEC (OJ No. L175, 05.07.85, p.40) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (as amended by Directive 97/11/EC, OJ No. L73, 14.03.97, p.5 and by Directive 2003/35/EC, OJ No. L156, 25.06.03, p.17), and Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ No. L206, 22.07.92, p.7), to which there are amendments not relevant to these Regulations, in so far as they relate to the extraction of minerals by marine dredging. Subject to exceptions for dredging for national defence purposes and for dredging which is carried out under certain agreements in existence prior to the Regulations coming into force, the Directives are implemented by ensuring that permission is required for marine dredging projects which engage either directive (regulation 5) and that any dredging carried out without permission where it is needed is an offence (regulation 4). Applications for dredging permission must be made to the Welsh Ministers (regulation 10). O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L C Y M R U 2007 Rhif 2610 (Cy.221) DIOGELU'R AMGYLCHEDD, CYMRU Rheoliadau Asesu Effeithiau Amgylcheddol a Chynefinoedd Naturiol (Echdynnu Mwynau drwy Dreillio Gwely'r Môr) (Cymru) 2007 NODYN ESBONIADOL (Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau) Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gweithredu'r canlynol mewn dyfroedd o amgylch Cymru y cyfeirir atynt yn y Rheoliadau fel "dyfroedd Cymru": Cyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 85/337/EEC (OJ Rhif L175, 05.07.85, t.40) ar asesu effeithiau prosiectau penodol, boed yn rhai cyhoeddus neu'n rhai preifat, ar yr amgylchedd (fel y'i diwygir gan Gyfarwyddeb 97/11/EC, OJ Rhif L73, 14.03.97, t.5 a chan Gyfarwyddeb 2003/35/EC, OJ Rhif L156, 25.06.03, t.17), a Chyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 92/43/EEC ar gadwraeth cynefinoedd naturiol a ffawna a fflora gwyllt (OJ Rhif L206, 22.07.92, t.7), y mae iddi ddiwygiadau nad ydynt yn berthnasol i'r Rheoliadau hyn, i'r graddau y maent yn berthnasol i'r gwaith o echdynnu mwynau drwy dreillio gwely'r môr. Yn ddarostyngedig i eithriadau sy'n bodoli ar gyfer treillio at ddibenion amddiffyn gwladol ac ar gyfer treillio a wneir o dan gytundebau penodol a oedd yn bodoli cyn i'r Rheoliadau ddod i rym, gweithredir y Cyfarwyddebau drwy sicrhau bod angen caniatâd ar gyfer prosiectau treillio gwely'r môr y mae'r naill gyfarwyddeb neu'r llall yn berthnasol iddynt (rheoliad 5) a bod unrhyw dreillio a wneir heb ganiatâd y mae ei angen yn dramgwydd (rheoliad 4). Rhaid gwneud ceisiadau am ganiatâd i dreillio i Weinidogion Cymru (rheoliad 10). 1 Gweithredir Cyfarwyddeb 85/337 drwy ei gwneud yn ofynnol i ddatganiad amgylcheddol gael ei ddarparu mewn perthynas â chais sy'n ymwneud â phrosiect perthnasol, h.y. echdynnu mwynau drwy dreillio yn nyfroedd Cymru a hynny'n debygol o effeithio'n sylweddol ar yr amgylchedd (rheoliad 10). Rhaid ystyried y datganiad hwnnw wrth benderfynu ar y cais (rheoliad 13). Gweithredir Cyfarwyddeb 92/43 drwy ei gwneud yn ofynnol i asesiad priodol o effeithiau treillio o'r fath gael ei wneud, pan fydd yn debygol, naill ai ar ei ben ei hun neu ar y cyd â chynlluniau neu brosiectau eraill, o gael effaith sylweddol ar safle Ewropeaidd (rheoliad 13(3) ac Atodlen 3). Cyfeirir at dreillio o'r fath yn y Rheoliadau fel "prosiect cynefinoedd". Safleoedd yn y Deyrnas Unedig a ddynodir o dan Gyfarwyddeb 92/43, a safleoedd a ddynodir yn ardaloedd gwarchodaeth arbennig o dan Gyfarwyddeb 79/409/EEC ar gadwraeth adar gwyllt ac a gaiff eu trin gan Gyfarwyddeb 92/43 fel pe baent wedi eu dynodi o dan y Gyfarwyddeb honno at y dibenion hyn yw safleoedd Ewropeaidd. At ddibenion y Rheoliadau hyn caiff safleoedd sydd wedi eu cynnig gan Weinidogion Cymru ar gyfer eu dynodi eu cynnwys hefyd. Os yw caniatâd yn ofynnol o dan reoliad 5, mae i bersonau ac eithrio'r Goron echdynnu mwynau drwy dreillio yn nyfroedd Cymru oni wneir y treillio yn unol â chaniatâd sydd wedi ei roi o dan y Rheoliadau hyn yn dramgwydd (rheoliad 4). Mae'r Rheoliadau'n gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer camau penodol y caniateir eu cymryd cyn i unrhyw gais am ganiatâd gael ei wneud. Mae rheoliad 6 yn galluogi unrhyw berson sy'n cynnig gwneud gwaith treillio i ofyn i Weinidogion Cymru ddyfarnu a fyddai'r treillio hwnnw'n brosiect perthnasol, a dyfanrnu a fyddai'n brosiect cynefinoedd. Mae rheoliad 7 yn galluogi person sy'n bwriadu gwneud cais am ganiatâd sy'n gwneud datganiad amgylcheddol yn ofynnol i ofyn i Weinidogion Cymru roi barn ynghylch yr wybodaeth i'w darparu yn y datganiad amgylcheddol hwnnw. Mae rheoliad 8 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i gyrff ymgynghori priodol, fel y'u diffinnir yn y Rheoliadau, i adrannau'r llywodraeth ac i Weinidogion Cymru nodi a darparu gwybodaeth i helpu gyda pharatoi datganiad amgylcheddol ac mae'n eu galluogi i godi tâl amdano. Mae rheoliad 9 yn darparu ar gyfer talu ffioedd mewn cysylltiad â gofyn am farn o dan reoliad 7 ac â darparu gwybodaeth gan Weinidogion Cymru o dan reoliad 8. Mae rheoliad 10 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol bod unrhyw gais am ganiatâd yn cynnwys datganiad amgylcheddol (onid yw Gweinidogion Cymru wedi dyfarnu fel arall). Rhaid amgáu ffi a ddyfarnwyd yn unol â rheoliad 25 gydag unrhyw gais am ganiatâd. Mae rheoliad 11 yn caniatáu i Weinidogion Cymru ofyn i'r ceisydd ddarparu gwybodaeth bellach, os yw Gweinidogion Cymru o'r farn nad yw'r datganiad amgylcheddol gwreiddiol yn cynnwys digon o wybodaeth i alluogi effeithiau amgylcheddol y treillio a gynigir i gael eu hystyried yn llawn. O dan reoliad 12, Directive 85/337 is implemented by requiring that an environmental statement is provided in relation to an application which relates to a relevant project, i.e. the extraction of minerals by dredging in Welsh waters which is likely to have significant effects on the environment (regulation 10). That statement must be taken into account in deciding the application (regulation 13). Directive 92/43 is implemented by requiring that an appropriate assessment is carried out of the effects of such dredging, where it is likely, either alone or in combination with other plans or projects, to have a significant effect on a European site (regulation 13(3) and Schedule 3). Such dredging is referred to in the Regulations as a "habitats project". European sites are sites in the United Kingdom designated under Directive 92/43, and sites designated as special protection areas under Directive 79/409/EEC on the conservation of wild birds which are treated by Directive 92/43 as having been designated under that directive for these purposes. For the purposes of the Regulations sites which have been proposed by the Welsh Ministers for designation are also included. Where permission is required under regulation 5, it is an offence for persons other than the Crown to extract minerals by dredging in Welsh waters unless the dredging is carried out in accordance with a permission which has been granted under these Regulations (regulation 4). The Regulations make provision for certain actions which may be undertaken before any application for permission is made. Regulation 6 enables any person who proposes to carry out dredging to request the Welsh Ministers to determine whether that dredging would constitute a relevant project, and to determine whether it would constitute a habitats project. Regulation 7 enables a person who intends to make an application for permission which requires an environmental statement to request the Welsh Ministers to give an opinion as to the information to be provided in that environmental statement. Regulation 8 requires appropriate consultation bodies (as defined in the Regulations) government departments and the Welsh Ministers to identify and provide information to assist in the preparation of an environmental statement and enables them to charge for it. Regulation 9 provides for the payment of fees in respect of requests for opinions under regulation 7 and the provision of information by the Welsh Ministers under regulation 8. Regulation 10 requires that any application for permission include an environmental statement (unless the Welsh Ministers have determined otherwise). Any application for permission must be accompanied by a fee determined in accordance with regulation 25. Regulation 11 allows the Welsh Ministers to require the applicant to provide further information, if the Welsh Ministers consider the original environmental statement contains insufficient information to enable the environmental effects of the proposed dredging to be fully considered. Under regulation 12, applications 2 rhaid i geisiadau fod yn ddarostyngedig i gyhoeddusrwydd ac ymgynghori. Mae rheoliad 13 yn nodi'r ystyriaethau (gan gynnwys y datganiad amgylcheddol ac unrhyw asesiad o'r effaith ar safle Ewropeaidd) a'r weithdrefn sy'n gymwys wrth benderfynu ar geisiadau. Cyn penderfynu ar gais am ganiatâd i wneud gwaith treillio, caiff Gweinidogion Cymru roi i bartïon penodol gyfle i wneud sylwadau yn bersonol neu'n ysgrifenedig i berson a benodir gan Weinidogion Cymru. Mae rheoliad 14 yn creu tramgwyddau os darperir gwybodaeth anwir mewn perthynas â chaffael caniatâd. O dan reoliad 15, gwneir darpariaeth ar gyfer ymgynghori ag unrhyw wladwriaeth AEE arall os yw treillio'n debygol o effeithio'n sylweddol ar yr amgylchedd yn y wladwriaeth AEE honno. Gwneir darpariaeth o dan y Rheoliadau ar gyfer trosglwyddo (rheoliad 16) ac amrywio caniatâd (rheoliadau 17 to 20) o wneud cais am hynny. Caniateir hefyd ddirymu caniatâd neu ei amrywio mewn ffordd arall heblaw drwy gais (rheoliadau 21 a 22), os bydd angen hynny er mwyn diogelu'r amgylchedd. Mae rheoliad 23 yn darparu ar gyfer tramgwyddau sy'n gysylltiedig â throsglwyddo neu amrywio caniatâd. Mae rheoliad 25 yn darparu i Weinidogion Cymru dyfarnu'r ffioedd y mae'n rhaid eu talu mewn cysylltiad â threuliau Gweinidogion Cymru a dynnir wrth gydymffurfio naill ai â rheoliad 7 neu 8 neu'r ddau, wrth ystyried ceisiadau o dan y rheoliadau ac wrth fonitro caniatadau. Mae rheoliad 26 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i Weinidogion Cymru gadw cofrestr gyhoeddus o geisiadau am ganiatâd, cymeradwyaethau perthynol, penderfyniadau, dyfarniadau a barnau a gwybodaeth a ddarperir gan geisyddion o dan y Rheoliadau. Mae rheoliad 27 yn darparu ar gyfer cosbau sy'n gymwys i dramgwyddau o dan y Rheoliadau ac mae rheoliad 28 yn datgymhwyso adran 3 o Ddeddf Awdurdodaeth ar Ddyfroedd Tiriogaethol 1878, gyda'r effaith na fydd angen cydsyniad yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol ar gyfer erlyniadau yn erbyn gwladolion tramor o dan y Rheoliadau hyn. Mae rheoliad 29 yn caniatáu i Weinidogion Cymru gynnal ymchwiliad cyn iddynt arfer swyddogaethau penodol o dan y Rheoliadau. Mae rheoliad 30 yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer defnyddio cyfathrebiadau electronig wrth gydymffurfio â'r gweithdrefnau a sefydlir gan y Rheoliadau. Nodir trefniadau trosiannol yn rheoliad 31. Gwneir diwygiadau canlyniadol angenrheidiol, gydag arbedion, i Reoliadau Cynllunio Gwlad a Thref (Asesu Effeithiau Amgylcheddol) 1999 (O.S. 1999/293) gan reoliad 32. must be subject to publicity and consultation. Regulation 13 sets out the considerations (including the environmental statement and any assessment of the effect on a European site) and procedure which apply in deciding applications. Before deciding an application for permission to carry out dredging, the Welsh Ministers may give certain parties an opportunity of making representation in person or in writing to a person appointed by the Welsh Ministers. Regulation 14 creates offences where false information is provided in relation to obtaining a permission. Under regulation 15, provision is made for consultation with any other EEA state where dredging is likely to have significant effects on the environment in that EEA state. Provision is made under the Regulations for the transfer (regulation 16) and the variation on application (regulations 17 to 20) of a permission. A permission may also be revoked or varied otherwise than on an application (regulations 21 and 22), where necessary in order to protect the environment. Regulation 23 provides for offences related to the transfer or variation of a permission. Regulation 25 provides for the Welsh Ministers to determine the fees which must be paid in respect of the Welsh Ministers' expenses of complying with either regulation 7 or 8 or both, of considering applications under the regulations and of monitoring permissions. Regulation 26 requires the Welsh Ministers to keep a public register of applications for permission, related approvals, decisions, determinations and opinions and information provided by applicants under the Regulations. Regulation 27 provides for the penalties which apply to offences under the Regulations and regulation 28 disapplies section 3 of the Territorial Waters Jurisdiction Act 1878, with the effect that the consent of the Secretary of State will not be needed for prosecutions against foreign nationals under these Regulations. Regulation 29 allows the Welsh Ministers to hold an inquiry before exercising certain functions under the Regulations. Regulation 30 makes provision for the use of electronic communications in complying with the procedures established by the Regulations. Transitional arrangements are set out in regulation 31. Necessary consequential amendments, with savings, are made to the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/293) by regulation 32. 3 Mae Atodlen 1 yn nodi'r gofynion ynghylch beth y mae'n rhaid ei gynnwys mewn datganiad amgylcheddol. Mae Atodlen 2 yn nodi'r meini prawf sy'n berthnasol pan fydd Gweinidogion Cymru yn dyfarnu a yw prosiect treillio'n brosiect perthnasol. Mae Atodlen 3 yn gosod gofynion sy'n debyg i'r rhai yn rheoliadau 48 i 53 (darpariaethau cyffredinol ar gyfer diogelu safleoedd Ewropeaidd) yn Rheoliadau Cadwraeth (Cynefinoedd Naturiol &c) 1994 (O.S. 1994/2716). Mae paragraffau 2 i 4 o Atodlen 3 yn ymwneud â diogelu safleoedd Ewropeaidd mewn tri math gwahanol o amgylchiadau mae paragraff 2 yn ymwneud â'r broses ar gyfer gwneud asesiad priodol o effaith prosiectau treillio newydd ar safleoedd Ewropeaidd sy'n bodoli ac mae'n pennu na chaniateir rhoi caniatâd ond ar y telerau a nodir yn is-baragraffau (5) i (9); mae paragraff 3 yn darparu ar gyfer adolygu effaith caniatadau ar safleoedd sy'n dod yn safleoedd Ewropeaidd ar ôl i'r caniatadau hynny gael eu rhoi; ac mae paragraff 4 yn darparu ar gyfer adolygu effaith cytundebau treillio a wnaed cyn cychwyn y Rheoliadau hyn ar safleoedd Ewropeaidd. At ddibenion paragraffau 3 a 4 o Atodlen 3, estynnir y diffiniad o safle Ewropeaidd i gynnwys safleoedd yn y Deyrnas Unedig y mae'r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd yn ymgynghori â'r Deyrnas Unedig yn eu cylch o ran a ddylent gael eu dynodi. Os gwneir adolygiad o ganiatâd neu o gytundeb, rhaid i Weinidogion Cymru gadarnhau, amrywio neu ddirymu'r caniatâd. Nodir ym mharagraff 5 y weithdrefn i'w dilyn os yw Gweinidogion Cymru yn dirymu neu'n amrywio caniatâd a nodir ym mharagraff 6 effaith penderfyniad Gweinidogion Cymru i fynd ymlaen â'r dirymiad neu'r amrywiad. Os caiff caniatâd ei roi neu ei gadarnhau er gwaethaf y goblygiadau negyddol ar gyfer safle Ewropeaidd, rhaid cymryd camau digolledu er mwyn sicrhau cysondeb cyffredinol rhwydwaith Ewropeaidd o safleoedd o'r fath. Mae asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol llawn o effaith yr offeryn hwn ar gael oddi wrth Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru, Parc Cathays, Caerdydd CF10 3NQ. Gellir cael copïau o'r dogfennau y cyfeirir atynt yn rheoliad 31(3)o'r un lle, yn rhad ac am ddim. Schedule 1 sets out requirements for what must be included in an environmental statement. Schedule 2 sets out the criteria which are relevant when the Welsh Ministers determine whether a dredging project is a relevant project. Schedule 3 imposes requirements which are similar to those in regulations 48 to 53 (general provisions for the protection of European sites) of the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2716). Paragraphs 2 to 4 of Schedule 3 deal with the protection of European sites in three different circumstances paragraph 2 deals with the process for carrying out an appropriate assessment of the effect of new dredging projects on existing European sites and specifies that permission may only be granted on the terms set out in sub-paragraphs (5) to (9); paragraph 3 provides for a review of the effect of permissions on sites which become European sites after those permissions are granted; and paragraph 4 provides for a review of the effect on European sites of dredging agreements which were entered into before the commencement of these Regulations. For the purposes of paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 3, the definition of European site is extended to include sites in the United Kingdom upon which the European Commission is consulting the United Kingdom as to whether they should be designated. Where a review of a permission or an agreement is carried out, the Welsh Ministers must affirm, vary or revoke the permission. The procedure to be followed where the Welsh Ministers revoke or vary a permission is set out in paragraph 5 and the effect of the Welsh Ministers' decision whether to proceed with the revocation or variation is set out in paragraph 6. Where permission is granted or affirmed despite the negative implications for a European site, compensatory measures must be taken to ensure the overall coherence of the European network of such sites. A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have is available from the Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ. Copies of the documents referred to in regulation 31(3) may be obtained from the same place, free of charge. 4 O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L C Y M R U 2007 Rhif. 2610 (Cy. 221) DIOGELU'R AMGYLCHEDD, CYMRU Rheoliadau Asesu Effeithiau Amgylcheddol a Chynefinoedd Naturiol (Echdynnu Mwynau drwy Dreillio Gwely'r Môr) (Cymru) 2007 Gwnaed 6 Medi 2007 Gosodwyd gerbron Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru 7 Medi 2007 Yn dod i rym 28 Medi 2007 TREFN Y RHEOLIADAU RHAN 1 RHAGARWEINIAD 1.

Compensatory measures The Welsh Ministers are designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in so far as they concern the extraction of minerals by marine dredging in relation to measures relating to the requirement for an assessment of the impact on the environment of projects likely to have significant effects on the environment and in relation to measures relating to the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora. The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers vested in them by section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and by section 56(1) of the Finance Act 1973(3). The Treasury has consented to the making of these Regulations as required by section 56(1) of the Finance Act 1973. (1) 1972 p.68. Estynnwyd pwerau galluogi adran 2(2) o'r Ddeddf hon yn rhinwedd diwygio adran 1(2) gan adran 2(5) o Ddeddf yr Ardal Economaidd Ewropeaidd 1993 (p.51).

(3) Pan na fo person yn fodlon derbyn defnyddio cyfathrebiadau electronig mwyach mewn perthynas ag unrhyw gais o dan y Rheoliadau hyn, rhaid i'r person hwnnw hysbysu Gweinidogion Cymru a bydd y dirymu hwnnw'n derfynol ac yn dod yn weithredol ar ddyddiad a bennir gan y person yn yr hysbysiad, ond heb fod yn llai na saith niwrnod ar ôl y dyddiad y rhoddwyd yr hysbysiad. (4) Y meini prawf y cyfeirir atynt ym mharagraff (1) yw bod y ddogfen a drosglwyddir drwy'r cyfathrebiadau electronig (a) yn un y gellir ei chyrchu gan y derbynnydd; (b) yn ddarllenadwy ym mhob manylyn perthnasol; ac (c) yn ddigon parhaol fel bod modd cyfeirio ati wedi hynny.

(6) Ni fydd dim yn y rheoliad hwn yn atal Gweinidogion Cymru rhag ei gwneud yn ofynnol i geisydd am ganiatâd o dan reoliad 10 neu'r ceisydd mewn perthynas ag unrhyw gais o dan reoliad 6(1), 7(2), 16(2) neu 18(1) neu berchennog neu ddeiliad caniatâd yn achos dirymiad neu amrywiad arfaethedig o dan reoliad 21, ddarparu'r nifer o gopïau printiedig o unrhyw ddogfen y bydd ar Weinidogion Cymru angen rhesymol amdanynt, er gwaethaf y ffaith bod y ddogfen eisoes wedi'i throsglwyddo'n electronig i Weinidogion Cymru. (7) Pan fo'r cyfathrebiad electronig yn dod i law'r derbynnydd y tu allan i'w oriau busnes, cymerir ei fod wedi dod i law ar y diwrnod gwaith nesaf; ac, at y diben hwn, ystyr "diwrnod gwaith" ("working day") yw diwrnod nad yw'n ddydd Sadwrn, yn ddydd Sul, yn Wyl Banc nac yn wyl gyhoeddus arall.

(4) The criteria referred to in paragraph (1) are that the document transmitted by the electronic communication is (a) capable of being accessed by the recipient; (b) legible in all material respects; and (c) sufficiently permanent to be used for subsequent reference. (5) In paragraph (4), "legible in all material respects" means that the information contained in the document is available to the recipient to no lesser extent than it would be if sent or given by means of a document in printed form. (6) Nothing in this regulation will prevent the Welsh Ministers from requiring an applicant for permission under regulation 10 or the applicant in relation to any application under regulation 6(1), 7(2), 16(2) or 18(1) or the owner or holder of a permission in the case of a proposed revocation or variation under regulation 21, to provide such number of printed copies of any document as the Welsh Ministers will reasonably require, notwithstanding that the document has already been transmitted to the Welsh Ministers electronically. (7) Where the electronic communication is received by the recipient outside the recipient's business hours, it will be taken to have been received on the next working day; and, for this purpose, "working day" ("diwrnod gwaith") means a day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, Bank Holiday or other public holiday. 41 (8) Yn y rheoliad hwn (a) mae'r term "cyfeiriad" ("address") yn cynnwys unrhyw rif neu gyfeiriad a ddefnyddir at ddibenion y cyfathrebiadau hynny neu'r storio hwnnw; a (b) mae i "cyfathrebiad electronig" yr ystyr a roddir i ("electronic communication") gan adran 15(1) o Ddeddf Cyfathrebu Electronig 2000(1).

(2) Caiff camau a gymerwyd yn unol â'r gweithdrefnau hynny mewn perthynas â chais sy'n cael ei drin yn y modd a grybwyllwyd ym mharagraff (1) eu trin fel camau a gymerwyd o dan reoliad 12, i'r graddau y caiff Gweinidogion Cymru eu bodloni bod y camau fel y'u cymerwyd gan y ceisydd yn rhoi i raddau helaeth yr un faint o gyhoeddusrwydd i'r cais hwnnw â'r cyhoeddusrwydd ag y byddai cais wedi'i gael gan Weinidogion Cymru o dan reoliad 12. (3) Y gweithdrefnau y cyfeiriwyd atynt ym mharagraff (1) yw'r rhai a ddisgrifir (a) yn y ddogfen o'r enw "Offshore Dredging for Sand, Gravel and other Minerals", a ddyddiwyd Ebrill 1989, ac a gyhoeddwyd gan y Swyddfa Gymreig ac Adran yr Amgylchedd; a (b) yn y ddogfen o'r enw "Government View: New Arrangements for the Licensing of Minerals Dredging", a ddyddiwyd Mai 1998, ac a gyhoeddwyd gan y Swyddfa Gymreig ac Adran yr Amgylchedd, Trafnidiaeth a'r Rhanbarthau. (4) Pan fo caniatâd yn cael ei roi neu ei amrywio o ganlyniad i unrhyw gais y mae'r rheoliad hwn yn gymwys iddo, bydd y Rheoliadau hyn yn gymwys iddo yn yr un modd ag y maent yn gymwys i ganiatadau a roddwyd o ganlyniad i gais o dan reoliad 10. (8) In this regulation (a) the expression "address" ("cyfeiriad") includes any number or address used for the purpose of such communications or storage; and (b) "electronic communication" ("cyfathrebiad electronig") has the meaning given in section 15(1) of the Electronic Communications Act 2000(1). Transitional provisions 31.-(1) An application under either of the procedures mentioned in paragraph (3) which remains undetermined at commencement, and which if it had been made under these Regulations would fall within the scope of the Regulations, will (unless withdrawn) be treated as an application for permission or, as the case may be, variation duly made under these Regulations if it includes an environmental statement. (2) Steps taken in accordance with those procedures in relation to an application that is treated as mentioned in paragraph (1) will be treated as steps taken under regulation 12, to the extent that the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that the steps as taken by the applicant publicise that application to substantially the same extent as an application would have been publicised by the Welsh Ministers under regulation 12. (3) The procedures referred to in paragraph (1) are those set out in (a) the document entitled "Offshore Dredging for Sand, Gravel and other Minerals", dated April 1989, and published by the Department of the Environment and the Welsh Office; and (b) the document entitled "Government View: New Arrangements for the Licensing of Minerals Dredging", dated May 1998, and published by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions and the Welsh Office. (4) Where a permission is granted or varied as a result of any application to which this regulation applies, these Regulations will apply to it as they do to permissions granted as a result of an application under regulation 10.
