Dutch term or phrase: de legger
Kernzone
De belangrijkste zone van de waterkering. Voor de duinen is dit de zone die na een maatgevende storm moet blijven staan. Wettelijke afbakening is opgenomen in de legger.

de legger seems to be some kind of register of standards - but it is not clear where or who has this register.

public register
Explanation:
IMO the correct translation of 'legger' (openbaar register) in this context is '(public) register' (see also Van Dale). The 'legger' is published by the 'beheerder' who is responsible for the management of (in this case) the waterworks. In your case, this 'beheerder' is very likely to be a water authority/board (hoogheemraadschap) or possibly also 'Rijkswaterstaat' (Department of Waterways and Public Works).

Het doel van het beheerplan is ‘het op het vereiste niveau houden van de waterkerende functie van de waterkeringen, nu en in de toekomst en met oog voor andere belangen.’ Het waterkeringsbeheerplan komt voort uit de Wet op de Waterkering uit 1996. Hierin staat dat de beheerder van de waterkering verplicht is een legger en een beheersregister op te stellen. (...)
Het hoogheemraadschap beschikt daarvoor over de volgende instrumenten: de keur en het reglement, de schouw, de legger en het beheersregister.

De beleidsuitgangspunten in het waterkeringsbeheerplan (zowel statisch als dynamisch) vinden hun weerslag in de legger. In de legger staat voor elke zone (kernzone, beschermingszone en buitenbeschermingszone) aangegeven welke dimensies het desbetreffende deel van de waterkering moet hebben.

Correction: the register is most likely to be established/published by the 'beheerder' of the 'waterkering' (waterway), the so-called 'hoogheemraadschap' (waterways board/authority).

PS: 'Standards register' or 'standards ledger' would also be a possibility IMHO, and also get a significant number of googles.

PPS: Jurlex gives: legger = register; kadastrale legger = land regsitry ledger, cadastral ledger
