ordinances on industrial installations (VawS)
Explanation:
By 'Umsetzung' I think they mean implementation of regulations.

Implementation of ordinances on industrial installations (VawS)
regulating the handling of water-contaminating substances

(VawS) Verordnung über Anlagen zum Umgang mit wassergefährdenden Stoffen

Based on this, the federal states have formulated their specific ordinances pertaining to industrial installations (VAwS); they shed light on aspects as to
 how installations intended for handling water-contaminating substances need to be protected (basic obligations),

Henceforth, regulations will be specified in the section of the Environmental Code (UGB) dealing with water. The ordinances of the Federal states will be replaced by Federal ordinances regulating industrial installations (Bundes-VAwS). …the federal ordinances regulating industrial installations (Bundes-VAwS) will be drafted and publicised soon.

This framework provided by the German Government is filled out by laws and legal regulations on the level of individual states (e.g. German Federal Act on Plants handling with Substances Hazardous to Waters VAwS, Check Mark Ordinance).

As experts in connection with the Ordinance on installations for handling of substances hazardous to water (VAwS) and the Water Resources Act (WHG) we are in a position to check and optimise your installations which could affect water resources.

Conceptual engineering for surfaces in which water pollutants are handled pursuant to VAwS (Facility Ordinance on Handling Water Pollutants)

Thanks!

agree  hazmatgerman: if modified as suggested in ref section below.//Kim: the "implementation of" part is not necessary IMO, as it is not an implementation ordinance. For shortness VAwS could be treated as a proper name, couldn't it?

  -> Implementation of ordinances on industrial installations (VAwS) regulating the handling of substances hazardous to water. But the asker will want a shorter version.

agree  hazmatgerman: Spot on.//I'd probably use "ordinance on installations for handling substances hazardous to water", for lack of anything snappier. "substa. haz.to water" is the main point here. Best.
