Summary

According to the draft, the Environmental Board will henceforth coordinate only the projects of those boreholes and boreholes, the construction, reconstruction and demolition of which involve greater risks to groundwater. With this change, the workload of the Environmental Board will decrease and the time for applying for a construction permit for some wells will be shortened. As another change, the right to approve wastewater collection areas is transferred from the minister to the Director General of the Environmental Board. As a third change, water samplers are provided the right to organize attestation from the Ministry of Climate to a competent private legal entity with an administrative contract. The Ministry of Climate does not have to issue the attestation certificates of water samplers itself, and therefore the Ministry's workload is somewhat reduced. Also, the establishment of plans related to the implementation of the water management plan will be moved from the ministry to the level of the Environmental Board. In addition, the water permit requirement for groundwater diversion is specified in such a way that a specific threshold is added when a water permit is required for groundwater diversion.
