For example, the previous 3-7-3-3 standard didn&#039;t apply to soil below groundwater level.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important that the minister once again indicates that this temporarily relaxed standard is not absolute: deviations from it are possible at the local level.<\/p>\n<p>The minister also reiterates that more is possible in this regard than is generally assumed.<\/p>\n<p>These emphatic changes of direction from the minister therefore provide a tool to explicitly address local governments if they continue to assess permit applications (too) strictly at the local level. Moreover, they offer a tool to pressure local governments, through objections\/appeals and possibly even by requesting a preliminary injunction through the court, to grant permits.<\/p>\n<p>As indicated in our previous presentations\/in the sheets, sufficient tools must be available for this: for example, appealing local background values or other locally relevant circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>It may therefore be worthwhile, as the minister indicates, to carefully examine what is possible (doing nothing will not lead to a solution anyway).<\/p>\n<p>If you are confronted with such circumstances or reluctant authorities (municipalities, water boards) and require legal advice, we are happy to assist you.<\/p>\n<p>For PFAS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:w.groustra@wintertaling.nl\">w.groustra@wintertaling.nl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For nitrogen: <a href=\"mailto:b.van.vliet@wintertaling.nl\">b.van.vliet@wintertaling.nl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De minister heeft per 29 november jl. met onmiddellijke ingang de norm voor PFAS versoepeld.
