Regulation on the inventory and surveys of areas with polluted soil, the necessary restorative measures, as well as the maintenance of implemented restoration measures.

This Regulation determines the manner for carrying out the necessary inventory and surveys over the areas (if present on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria) with polluted soil, defining the mandatory restoration measures, including the implementation and maintenance of such restoration measures.
These rules will not apply to areas that are covered by programmes for elimination of environmental damage under the terms of other more specific documents (see article 1, paragraph 2).
Major purpose of this text is to offer direct provisions aimed to set the inventory and field surveys that shall be carried out in order to identify those areas suspected of soil contamination, areas with proved contaminated soils; and to define the financing of such activities (also polluter pay principle).
