Nitrate Pollution Prevention (Wales) Regulations 2008 (W.S.I. No. 3143 (W.278) of 2008)

W E L S H S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2008 No. 3143 (W.278) AGRICULTURE, WALES WATER, WALES The Nitrate Pollution Prevention (Wales) Regulations 2008 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations revoke and replace, in so far as they apply in relation to Wales, the provisions (as set out in regulation 50) which controlled the application of nitrogen fertiliser in nitrate sensitive areas. In relation to Wales, these Regulations continue to implement Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution by nitrates from agricultural sources (OJ No. L375, 31.12.91, p.1). Principal changes The principal changes are as follows. These Regulations extend the areas designated as nitrate vulnerable zones. The permitted annual level of nitrate application of livestock manure to grassland in a nitrate vulnerable zone is reduced from 250 kg/ha to 170 kg/ha (previously the lower limit applied to land other than grassland). These Regulations change the period during which organic manure in a nitrate vulnerable zone must not be spread, and increase the amount of organic manure storage capacity required. The Regulations Part 2 of these Regulations designate nitrate vulnerable zones, and establish an appeals procedure against the designation.

O ran Cymru, mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn parhau i weithredu Cyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 91/676/EEC ynghylch diogelu dyfroedd rhag llygredd gan nitradau o ffynonellau amaethyddol (OJ Rhif L375, 31.12.91, t.1). Y prif newidiadau Mae'r prif newidiadau fel a ganlyn. Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn ychwanegu at yr ardaloedd sydd wedi'u dynodi'n barthau perygl nitradau. Mae'r lefel flynyddol a ganiateir ar gyfer dodi nitradau ar ffurf tail da byw ar laswelltir mewn parth perygl nitradau wedi'i lleihau o 250 kg/ha i 170 kg/ha (o'r blaen yr oedd y terfyn is yn gymwys i dir nad oedd yn laswelltir). Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn newid y cyfnod pan na chaniateir i dail organig gael ei daenu mewn parth perygl nitradau, ac yn cynyddu faint o le y mae'n ofynnol ei gael ar gyfer storio tail organig. Y Rheoliadau Mae Rhan 2 o'r Rheoliadau hyn yn dynodi parthau perygl nitradau, ac yn sefydlu gweithdrefn ar gyfer apelio yn erbyn y dynodiad. 1 Mae Rhan 3 yn gosod terfynau blynyddol ar faint o nitrogen o dail organig y caniateir ei ddodi neu ei daenu ar ddaliad mewn parth perygl nitradau. Mae Rhan 4 yn sefydlu gofynion ynghylch faint o nitrogen sydd i'w daenu ar gnwd, ac yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i feddiannydd gynllunio ymlaen llaw faint o wrtaith nitrogen a gaiff ei daenu. Mae Rhan 5 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i feddiannydd ddarparu map risg o'r daliad (rheoliad 18), ac yn gosod amodau ar sut, ble a phryd y dylid taenu gwrtaith nitrogen. Mae Rhan 6 yn sefydlu cyfnodau gwaharddedig pryd y gwaherddir taenu gwrtaith nitrogen. Mae Rhan 7 yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer sut mae'n rhaid storio gwrtaith nitrogen, ac yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol bod lle ar gael i storio'r tail a gynhyrchir ar y daliad yn ystod y cyfnod a bennir yn y Rhan honno. Mae Rhan 8 yn pennu pa gofnodion y mae'n rhaid eu cadw. Mae Rhan 9 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i Weinidogion Cymru adolygu'r Rheoliadau o fewn amserlenni gosodedig. Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn i'w gorfodi gan Asiantaeth yr Amgylchedd. Mae torri'r Rheoliadau hyn yn dramgwydd sy'n dwyn cosb— (a) ar gollfarn ddiannod, o ddirwy nad yw'n fwy na'r uchafswm statudol, neu (b) ar gollfarn ar dditiad, o ddirwy. Mae asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol wedi'i baratoi ar gyfer y Rheoliadau hyn ac mae copi ar gael oddi wrth Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru, Parc Cathays, Caerdydd CF10 3NQ. Part 3 imposes annual limits on the amount of nitrogen from organic manure that may be applied or spread in a holding in a nitrate vulnerable zone. Part 4 establishes requirements relating to the amount of nitrogen to be spread on a crop, and requires an occupier to plan in advance how much nitrogen fertiliser will be spread. Part 5 requires an occupier to provide a risk map of the holding (regulation 18), and imposes conditions on how, where and when to spread nitrogen fertiliser. Part 6 establishes closed periods during which it is prohibited to spread nitrogen fertiliser. Part 7 makes provision for how nitrogen fertiliser must be stored, and requires storage capacity for manure produced on the holding during the period specified in that Part. Part 8 specifies which records must be kept. Part 9 requires the Welsh Ministers to review the Regulations within set time scales. These Regulations are enforced by the Environment Agency. Breach of these Regulations is an offence punishable— (a) on summary conviction, with a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or (b) on conviction on indictment, with a fine. A full impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations and a copy is available from the Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ. 2 O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L C Y M R U 2008 Rhif 3143 (Cy.278) AMAETHYDDIAETH, CYMRU DŴR, CYMRU Rheoliadau Atal Llygredd Nitradau (Cymru) 2008 Gwnaed 6 Rhagfyr 2008 Gosodwyd gerbron Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru 9 Rhagfyr 2008 Yn dod i rym yn unol â rheoliad 3 CYNNWYS RHAN 1 Rhagarweiniad 1.

Drwy arfer y pwerau a roddwyd iddynt gan yr adran honno, a pharagraff 1A o Atodlen 2 i Ddeddf y Cymunedau Ewropeaidd 1972, mae Gweinidogion Cymru yn gwneud y Rheoliadau a ganlyn. Mae'r rheoliadau hyn yn darparu ar gyfer diben y cyfeirir ato yn adran 2(2) o Ddeddf y Cymunedau Ewropeaidd 1972 ac y mae'n ymddangos yn hwylus i Weinidogion Cymru ddehongli cyfeiriadau at offerynnau'r Gymuned Ewropeaidd yn y Rheoliadau hyn fel cyfeiriadau at yr offerynnau hynny fel y'u diwygir o bryd i'w gilydd. RHAN 1 Rhagarweiniad Enwi 1. Enw'r Rheoliadau hyn yw Rheoliadau Atal Llygredd Nitradau (Cymru) 2008. Cymhwyso 2.—(1) Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gymwys o ran Cymru mewn perthynas ag unrhyw ddaliad mewn parth perygl nitradau sydd wedi'i ddynodi felly yn y Rheoliadau hyn. SCHEDULE 1 - Amount of manure and nitrogen produced by livestock SCHEDULE 2 - Calculating nitrogen in manure PART 1 - Standard table PART 2 - Sampling and analysis SCHEDULE 3 - Permitted crops for the closed period The Welsh Ministers are designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (2) in relation to matters relating to the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources. In exercise of the powers conferred upon them by that section, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972, the Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations. These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the references to European Community instruments in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time. PART 1 Introduction Citation 1. The title of these Regulations is the Nitrate Pollution Prevention (Wales) Regulations 2008. Application 2.—(1) These Regulations apply in relation to Wales in relation to any holding in a nitrate vulnerable zone designated as such in these Regulations.
