A.iv. Guidelines for the interpretation of A.i
1. The size of the agglomeration has the following consequences for priority setting :
Sewage collecting system and treatment plant have to be provided : (91/271 Art. 3 and 4)
Size of agglomeration Deadline
> 15 000 p.e. 31 December 2000
10 000 15 000 p.e. 31 December 2005
2 000 10 000 p.e. 31 December 2005
5. Discharge into sensitive areas has the following consequences for priority setting :
- collection systems are provided at the latest by 31 December 1998 for agglomerations ofmore than 10 000 p.e.. (should have been provided already) (91/271 Art.3)
- sewage treatment has to be provided at the latest by 31 December 1998 for all dischargesfrom agglomerations of more than 10 000 p.e.. (should have been provided already) (91/271Art. 5)
14. This will be very difficult to determine, but it is rather important. It will guarantee for
instance that newly built collecting systems are not destroyed by corrosion and that the
operation of the WWTP will not be inhibited by toxic substances. Moreover it guarantees
protection of the receiving waters as well as protection of the health of the workers (see
Annex I.c).
24.2. This is important because it guarantees that samples are also taken during winter time and
that the design of the plant takes into account the stochastic nature of measurement results.
BOD-emission for instance should comply during 95% of the time.
28. Options for environmentally and technically sound reuse or disposal of sewage sludge may
be :
- agricultural re-use, subject to the requirements of the Sewage Sludge Directive(86/278/EEC)
- incineration, subject to Directives 89/429/EEC and 89/369/EEC on municipalincinerators (in this case also the checklist for solid waste must be completed)
- landfill, subject to the Directive on Landfill of Waste 1999/31/EC (same remark asabove)
31. These practices should be phased out (by 31 December 1998 within the EU).

ANNEX II
CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFICATION OF SENSITIVE AND LESS SENSITIVE AREAS
A. Sensitive areas
A water body must be identified as a sensitive area if it falls into one of the following groups:
(a) natural freshwater lakes, other freshwater bodies, estuaries and coastal waters which arefound to be eutrophic or which in the near future may become eutrophic if protective
action is not taken.
The following elements might be taken into account when considering which nutrient
should be reduced by further treatment:
(i) lakes and streams reaching lakes/reservoirs/closed bays which are found to have a
poor water exchange, whereby accumulation may take place. In these areas, the
removal of phosphorus should be included unless it can be demonstrated that the
removal will have no effect on the level of eutrophication. Where discharges from
large agglomerations are made, the removal of nitrogen may also be considered;
(ii) estuaries, bays and other coastal waters which are found to have a poor water
exchange, or which receive large quantities of nutrients. Discharges from small
agglomerations are usually of minor importance in those areas, but for large
agglomerations, the removal of phosphorus and/or nitrogen should be included unless
it can be demonstrated that the removal will have no effect on the level of
eutrophication;
(b) surface freshwaters intended for the abstraction of drinking water which could contain
more than the concentration of nitrate laid down under the relevant provisions of Council
Directive 75/440/EEC of 16 June 1975 concerning the quality required of surface water
intended for the abstraction of drinking water in the Member States (1) if action is not
taken;
(c) areas where further treatment than that prescribed in Article 4 of this Directive is
necessary to fulfil Council Directives.

Alternative methods to those mentioned in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 may be used provided that it
can be demonstrated that equivalent results are obtained.
Member States shall provide the Commission with all relevant information concerning the
applied method. If the Commission considers that the conditions set out in paragraphs 2, 3
and 4 are not met, it will submit an appropriate proposal to the Council.
2. Flow-proportional or time-based 24-hour samples shall be collected at the same well-defined
point in the outlet and if necessary in the inlet of the treatment plant in order to monitorcompliance with the requirements for discharged waste water laid down in this Directive.
Good international laboratory practices aiming at minimizing the degradation of samples
between collection and analysis shall be applied.
3. The minimum annual number of samples shall be determined according to the size of the
treatment plant and be collected at regular intervals during the year:
- 2 000 to 9 999 p. e.: 12 samples during the first year.
four samples in subsequent years, if it can be shown that the water during the first year
complies with the provisions of the Directive; if one sample of the four fails, 12 samples mustbe taken in the year that follows.
- 10 000 to 49 999 p. e.: 12 samples.
- 50 000 p. e. or over: 24 samples.
4. The treated waste water shall be assumed to conform to the relevant parameters if, for eachrelevant parameter considered individually, samples of the water show that it complies with
the relevant parametric value in the following way:
(a)for the parameters specified in Table 1 and Article 2 (7), a maximum number ofsamples which are allowed to fail the requirements, expressed in concentrations
and/or percentage reductions in Table 1 and Article 2 (7), is specified in Table 3;
(b)for the parameters of Table 1 expressed in concentrations, the failing samples takenunder normal operating conditions must not deviate from the parametric values by
more than 100 %. For the parametric values in concentration relating to total
suspended solids deviations of up to 150 % may be accepted;
(c)for those parameters specified in Table 2 the annual mean of the samples for eachparameter shall conform to the relevant parametric values.
5. Extreme values for the water quality in question shall not be taken into consideration when
they are the result of unusual situations such as those due to heavy rain.

(1) Member States may permit these limit values to be exceeded in
the case of the use of sludge on land which at the time of
notification of this Directive is dedicated to the disposal of
sludge but on which commercial food crops are being grown
exclusively for animal consumption. Member States must inform
the Commission of the number of type of sites concerned. They
must also ensure that there is no resulting hazard to human health
or the environment.(2) It is not possible at this stage to fix limit values for chromium.
The Council will fix these limit values later on the basis of
proposals to be submitted by the Commission within one year
following notification of this Directive.

2. organophosphorus compounds,3. organotin compounds,4.
substances in respect of which it has been proved that they possess carcinogenic properties inor via the aquatic environment1
5. mercury and its compounds,6. cadmium and its compounds,7. persistent mineral oils and hydrocarbons of petroleum origin,and for the purposes of implementing Articles 2, 8, 9 and 14 of this Directive:
8. persistent synthetic substances which may float, remain in suspension or sink and which may
interfere with any use of the waters.
List II of families and groups of substances
List II contains:
- substances belonging to the families and groups of substances in List I for which the limitvalues referred to in Article 6 of the Directive have not been determined,
- certain individual substances and categories of substances belonging to the families andgroups of substances listed below,
and which have a deleterious effect on the aquatic environment, which can, however, be
confined to a given area and which depend on the characteristics and location of the water
into which they are discharged.

Note 1: The parametric value refers to the residual monomer concentration in the water as calculatedaccording to specifications of the maximum release from the corresponding polymer in contactwith the water.
Note 2: Where possible, without compromising disinfection, Member States should strive for a lowervalue.For the water referred to in Article 6(1)(a), (b) and (d), the value must be met, at the latest, 10calendar years after the entry into force of the Directive. The parametric value for bromate from
five years after the entry into force of this Directive until 10 years after its entry into force is 25g/l.
Note 3: The value applies to a sample of water intended for human consumption obtained by anadequate sampling method (
1 2) at the tap and taken so as to be representative of a weekly
average ingested by consumers. Where appropriate the sampling and monitoring methods mustbe applied in a harmonised fashion to be drawn up in accordance with Article 7(4). MemberStates must take account of the occurence of peak levels that may cause adverse effects onhuman health.
Note 4: For water referred to in Article 6(1)(a), (b) and (d), the value must be met, at the latest, 15calendar years after the entry into force of this Directive. The parametric value for lead from
five years after the entry into force of this Directive until 15 years after its entry into force is 25g/l.Member States must ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to reduce the concentrationof lead in water intended for human consumption as much as possible during the period neededto achieve compliance with the parametric value.When implementing the measures to achieve compliance with that value Member States mustprogressively give priority where lead concentrations in water intended for human consumptionare highest.
Note 5: Member States must ensure that the condition that [nitrate]/50 + [nitrite]/3 1, the squarebrackets signifying the concentrations in mg/l for nitrate (NO3) en nitrite (NO2), is compliedwith and that the value of 0,10 mg/l for nitrites is complied with ex water treatment works.
Note 6: Pesticides means:- organic insecticides,- organic herbicides,- organic fungicides,- organic nematocides,- organic acaricides,- organic algicides,- organic rodenticides,

- organic slimicides,- related products (inter alia, growth regulators)
and their relevant metabolites, degradation and reaction products.
Only those pesticides which are likely to be present in a given supply need be monitored.Note 7: The parametric value applies to each individual pesticide. In the case of aldrin, dieldrin,
heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide the parametric value is 0,030 g/l.
Note 8: Pesticides Total means the sum of all individual pesticides detected and quantified in themonitoring procedure.
Note 9: The specified compounds are:- benzo(b)fluoranthene,- benzo(k)fluoranthene,- benzo(ghi)perylene,- indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene.
Note 10: Where possible, without compromising disinfection. Member States should strive for a lowervalue.The specified compounds are chloroform, bromoform, dibromochloromethane,bromodichloromethane.For the water referred to in Article 6(1)(a), (b) and (d), the value must be met, at the latest, 10calendar years after the entry into force of this Directive. The parametric value for total THMsfrom five years after the entry into force of this Directive until 10 years after the entry into forceis 150 g/l.
Member States must ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to reduce the concentrationof THMs in water intended for human consumption as much as possible during the period
needed to achieve compliance with the parametric value.When implementing the measures to achieve this value, Member States must progressively givepriority to those areas where THM concentrations in water intended for human consumption arehighest.
