Protection of Scotland's Water Environment - Consultation on Proposed Amendments to the Action Programme for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones

DescriptionThe current Action programme for the 4 nitrate vulnerable zones in Scotland is reviewed and comments are sought on proposed changes and modifications to it. These seek to address risks of nitrate from agricultural sources getting into water courses. The proposed measures limit the quantities of fertilisers applied to land; increase the length of the periods when certain fertilisers may not be applied; apply this measure to all soils; and introduce measures to increase manure efficiency.
