PURPOSE
In December 2005 the Scottish Executive published a consultation on the control of Diffuse Water Pollution from Rural Land Use. This set out the Executive's proposals for a strategy of measures to help achieve good water quality in Scotland's water environment.
The proposed strategy was generally welcomed, including the proposal for a set of General Binding Rules. The consultation included an illustrative list of General Binding Rules. This has been extensively revised and is now being published to allow further final comment prior to the regulations being made under the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003.
It is also proposed that it should be permissible for lightly contaminated farmyard run-off to be drained to a wetland constructed for the purpose of treatment, as an alternative to its collection in a slurry storage facility.
Comments on the proposals should reach us by 19 January 2007.
Early responses would be welcomed.
Responses received will be made available publicly unless respondents ask for their comments to remain confidential. Respondents are requested to complete the attached CONSULTEE INFORMATION FORM.
