Decree amending the Environmental Activities Decree to transpose the rules on toilet discharges from pleasure craft

This Decree transposes the rules on toilet water discharges from pleasure craft that were included in the Discharges Outside Facilities Order [Rlbi] on 30 September 2019. This amendment was notified previously under number TRIS/2019/00869. The amendment made it possible to discharge toilet water from a pleasure craft onto surface water, provided that the toilet water has passed through a treatment facility aboard said pleasure craft that meets certain requirements. The Rlbi will be repealed as soon as the Environment Act [Omgevingswet] regime enters into force. To ensure that the rules introduced on 1 October 2019 are not also repealed at that time, this amending Decree adds them to the Environmental Activities Decree, without substantive changes.
