§ Section 76 (1) of the Bremen Water Protection Act states that facilities of any kind may not be erected or significantly altered within 20 meters of the landward boundary of flood protection facilities. Under certain conditions, the water authority of the Senator for the Environment, Construction and Transport may grant an exemption on application. The party responsible for maintenance will be consulted.
