Abstract

This Law amends the Water Pollution (Jersey) Law 2000 by giving a definition of "Water Management Area", which replaces the definition of "Water Catchment Management Area". "Water Management Area" means a geographical area designated by a Water Management Order made under Article 14(1) of the Law. This Article is compeltely rewritten. The Minister may by an Order known as a “Water Management Order” – (a) designate all or any land in Jersey to be part of one or more geographical areas for the purposes of this Law, to be known as ‘Water Management Areas’; and (b) impose in respect of – (i) a Water Management Area, or (ii) any part of such an Area, restrictions and requirements on business activities or operations for the prevention, control, reduction or elimination of pollution in controlled waters or of the risk of pollution in controlled waters. Measures must concern the use of fertilizers or soil management measures. Provision is made with respect to the contravention of Water Management Orders.
