- (2) Omit “and” where it appears at the end of regulation 5(3)(b).
- (3) After regulation 5(3)(c), insert—
and (d) in respect of derogated farms, in addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) to (c)— (i) a note of the number of livestock and a description of the housing and storage system that includes the volume of manure storage available; (ii) a calculation of manure nitrogen (less losses in housing and storage) and phosphate produced in the farm; (iii) a description of the crop rotation and area of each crop, including a sketch map indicating location of individual fields; (iv) a calculation of the foreseeable nitrogen and phosphate crop requirements; (v) a note of the amount and the type of manure delivered outside the farm or to the farm; (vi) the results of soil analysis related to nitrogen and phosphate soil status, if available; (vii) a note of the nitrogen and phosphate application from manure over each field; and (viii) a calculation of the application of nitrogen and phosphate with chemical and other fertilisers over each field.
- (4) After regulation 5(5), insert—
(6) Fertiliser and manure management plans in respect of derogated farms shall be revised no later than 7 days after any changes in agricultural practice at the farm.
Amendment of regulation 14
5
- (1) Regulation 14 (annual farm limit of nitrogen in livestock manure) is amended as follows.
- (2) At the beginning of paragraph (1), insert “Subject to paragraph (4),”.
- (3) After paragraph (3), insert—
(4) The occupier of any grassland farm within a nitrate vulnerable zone may apply to the Scottish Ministers for a derogation from the annual farm limit of nitrogen in livestock manure specified in paragraph (1). (5) Any derogation granted shall last until the conclusion of the calendar year to which it relates, and shall be subject to renewal. (6) Where the Scottish Ministers grant a derogation, the total annual amount of nitrogen in livestock manure from grazing livestock applied to the derogated farm, whether directly by an animal or by spreading, must not exceed 250kg multiplied by the area of the derogated farm in hectares. (7) Any application for a derogation shall be made in accordance with regulation 14A and any grant of a derogation shall be subject to the conditions of regulation 14B.
Insertion of regulations 14A and 14B
6
- (1) After regulation 14, insert—
(14A) (1) The occupier of any grassland farm within a nitrate vulnerable zone who wishes to apply to the Scottish Ministers for a derogation must submit an application— (a) by 30th April of the calendar year to which the application pertains (in respect of applications other than those pertaining to 2009); (b) by 31st January 2010 in respect of applications pertaining to 2009. (2) The Scottish Ministers must publish electronically the manner and form in which the derogation application must be made. (3) Where the farm in respect of which a derogation is applied for benefited from a derogation during the calendar year preceding that to which the application relates, the application shall be accompanied by the fertilisation accounts for that preceding calendar year. (4) The Scottish Ministers must approve or refuse a derogation application within 21 days from its receipt and notify the applicant of the decision in writing. (5) Where the Scottish Ministers refuse a derogation application, they shall give the occupier reasons for the refusal. (14B) A derogation shall be subject to the following conditions— (a) total nitrogen inputs shall not exceed the foreseeable nutrient demand of the considered crop, taking into account the supply from the soil; (b) livestock manure shall not be spread in the autumn before grass cultivation; (c) grass on sandy soils, if ploughed, shall only be ploughed in spring; (d) ploughed grass on all soil types shall be followed immediately by a crop with high nitrogen demand; (e) crop rotation shall not include leguminous or other plants fixing atmospheric nitrogen, other than clover in grassland with less than 50% clover or leguminous plants under-sown with grass; (f) nitrogen and phosphate soil sampling and analysis shall be carried out at least once every four years for, as a minimum, every five hectares of the farm that, having regard to crop rotation and soil characteristics, can reasonably be considered homogeneous; and (g) fertilisation accounts for each calendar year for which a derogation is granted shall be prepared and submitted to the Scottish Ministers by 30th April of the following year.

These Regulations implement Commission Decision 2009/431/EC[^f00004]granting derogation to England, Scotland and Wales pursuant to Council Directive 91/676/EEC[^f00005]concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources. They do so by amending the Action Programme for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (Scotland) Regulations 2008.
They also correct minor errors in the tables in Schedules 1 and 3 to those Regulations.
