Highly sensitive areas for acidification (WAV) (Environmental Regulation 2016)

This stock contains sensitive, highly sensitive areas for acidification (obv WAV) as established in the Environment Regulation of Groningen 2016. In this Environment Regulation we have included rules for this. Fertilisation and acidification have a negative impact on the recovery and development of natural values. In the design of new nature areas, we reduce these problems with measures such as optimisation of water management and removal of the fertilised upper layer. The ammonia and livestock farming Act (WAV) protects highly vulnerable areas of our nature network against the emissions of ammonia from livestock farms. On the basis of this law, we have identified the ammonia sensitive areas in the Environment Regulation.
