The Drainage (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 ensure that the legislation relating to drainage projects and associated environmental impact assessment, will continue to be operable in the United Kingdom after the UK leaves the EU. The instrument addresses deficiencies in the retained EU law arising from the UK’s withdrawal for the EU. The purpose of the instrument is to preserve and protect the existing policy regime; it will not introduce any new policy.  The instrument will amend:  

• The Drainage (Northern Ireland) Order 1973 (N.I.  116) (“the 1973 Order”); and
• The Drainage (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 (S.R. 2017 No. 88) (“the Drainage E IA Regulations).

The instrument makes technical amendments to the above legislation.

Part 2 amends a Northern Ireland Order in Council and Part 3 amends a Northern Ireland Statutory Rule.
