LST National interest Protected Watercourses MB4kap6

This inventory shows the county administrative boards’ interpretation of the areas decided by the Riksdag are of national interest for protected watercourses pursuant to Chapter 4, Section 6 of the Environmental Code. This provision originated in the Act (1987:12) on the management of natural resources, etc. When the Riksdag decided on the national interest, the geographical delimitation was only described in text with place names and/or other geographically fixed points, as well as a rough illustration in the preparatory work (prop. 1985/86:3). The county administrative boards have subsequently made a more precise interpretation of the geographical delimitation in consultation with the municipalities concerned. Note that this scissor layer is only an indicative interpretation of the boundaries. For current delimitation see the current master plan. It is in the municipal overview planning that the meaning of the geographical national interest provisions in Chapter 4 of the Environmental Code can be concretised.
