Part 7: Nutrient Pollution Standards Section 170: Remediation Background
This section inserts new regulation 9A and new Schedule 2ZA into the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (England) Regulations 2015 ("the 2015 Regulations").
	The 2015 Regulations apply to serious environmental damage to land, water, species and habitats and impose duties on operators to take steps to prevent or remediate damage. This new regulation treats any excess nutrient pollution attributable to the failure of a plant to meet the nutrient pollution standard by the upgrade date or applicable date as environmental damage so that provisions of the 2015 Regulations apply, subject to the modifications made to the 2015 Regulations by Schedule 2ZA.
