Short description: EXTRACT: This consultation paper explains the purpose and scope of the 2006 Groundwater Directive (“the GwD”), and makes specific proposals for transposition of Article 6 of the Directive through amendment of the Groundwater Regulations 1998. The proposed changes to the Regulations are somewhat complex, but ultimately not great. Essentially the Regulations would cover a slightly wider range of substances, but would allow more scope for a flexible and risk-based regulatory approach.
