Article 1

Amendment of the quality target regulation Chemistry Surface Waters

Pursuant to Section 30a (2) (2) (2) of the Water Rights Act 1959, BGBl. No. 215, as last amended by the Federal Law BGBl. I n ° 123/2006 and the Federal Ministries of the Federal Ministries of Law 2009, BGBl. I No 3, shall be assigned:

The Chemistry Surface Water Quality Goal Regulation, BGBl. II No 96/2006 as amended by the BGBl Regulation. II No 267/2007, shall be amended as follows:

1. In § 1, the word sequence shall be deleted "as well as for general physico-chemical pollutants in which the quality standard is determined independently of the water type" as well as the following after the word order "in surface water bodies" .

2. In § 3, the Z 6 to 12 shall be replaced by the following Z 6 to 11:

" 6.

Environmental quality standard: the concentration of a parameter in water, sediment or biota which is determined in terms of numbers and the good chemical status to be achieved in surface water bodies, or describes a chemical component of the good ecological condition to be achieved. Environmental quality standards in water are defined as the annual average environmental quality standard (JD-UQN) and as the permissible maximum concentration environmental quality standard (ZHK-UQN);

7.

detection limit: the measurement signal or the concentration value, from which it is possible to testified at a fixed level of confidence that a sample differs from a blank sample which does not contain the analyte to be determined;

8.

Determination limit: a fixed multiple of the detection limit at a concentration of the analyte, which can be determined with an acceptable level of accuracy and accuracy. The limit of determination can be calculated by means of a suitable standard or sample and determined on the basis of the lowest calibration point on the calibration curve without a blank sample;

9.

Measurement series: all measured values for a parameter at a defined measuring point within a given observation period;

10.

Mixing area: the local area after a waste water inlet into a surface water body, in which the waste water is mixed into the receiving water and at the end of which a complete mixing is achieved (waste water vane);

11.

Watery width: the wetted width of a body of water at the lowest annual mean water (NJMQ) of the effluent. "

3. In § 4 (3) the word "Environmental quality standard" by the word "Annual average environmental quality standard" replaced.

4. § 5 reads:

" § 5. (1) A surface water body is in a non-good chemical state, if:

1.

the arithmetic mean of the concentrations of a parameter in the surface water body, measured during a calendar year, in Annex A exceeds the annual average environmental quality standard, or

2.

the 90-percentile value of the concentrations of a parameter measured during a calendar year in Annex A exceeds the maximum environmental quality standard set out in the Directive.

(2) A surface water body shall be in a non-good ecological condition if the arithmetic mean of the concentrations of a parameter measured during a calendar year are those measured in Appendix B shall exceed the annual average environmental quality standard.

(3) In the case of the assessments to be made pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2, the Appendix D to apply the methods and conventions described above.

(4) In the case of waste water discharges, the environmental quality standards must be observed within the mixing zone after a certain distance below the waste water supply line. This distance shall, as a rule, be ten times the width of the water at the point where the waste water is introduced, but at least one kilometre.

(5) With regard to the measurement frequency and the requirements for sampling, the analysis of the chemical pollutants and the physico-chemical auxiliary parameters and the services, Authorized persons who carry out measurements on surface water bodies are subject to the requirements of the Water Condition Monitoring Ordinance (GZÜV), BGBl. II No 479/2006, as amended. "

§ § 6 shall be deleted; § § 7 to 9 shall be given the name "§ 6." to "§ 8." .

Appendix D

Conventions and methods to be applied in accordance with § 5

Section I

Conventions for metrics that are below the limit of determination

For the calculation of the arithmetic mean and the concentration ratios, the following requirements shall apply:

1.

Measurement values below the limit of determination shall be set at half the value of the limit of determination concerned.

2.

Point 1. does not apply to measured quantities which are sums of individual substances, isomers or congeners. In these cases, measurement values of the individual substances lying below the limit of determination shall be set to zero.

Section II

Comparison with the JD-UQN

If an arithmetic mean is below the limit of determination, this value shall be referred to as "below the limit of determination". In the event that the JD-UQN referred to in Annexes A and B is less than or equal to the limit of determination, an arithmetic mean value referred to as "below the limit of determination" shall not be used for assessing compliance with the JD-UQN .

For the parameters of Appendix A, Table A.2, point 2, Appendix B, Table B.1, Number 1 and Number 22, and Table B.2, Number 3 and 6, the value of the JD-UQN is dependent on physical-chemical auxiliary parameters. The JD-UQN is then exceeded if the arithmetic mean of all the concentration ratios determined in a calendar year is greater than one. The concentration ratios are derived from the ratio of the measured concentration of the parameter and the relevant value of the JD-UQN at the simultaneously measured concentrations of the physical-chemical auxiliary parameters according to Appendix A and B (Water hardness, pH, temperature, or Chloride). In the calculation of the concentration ratios, the conventions referred to in Section I shall apply.

Section III

Comparison with the ZHK-UQN

For the parameter of Appendix A, Table A.2, point 2, the value of the ZHK-UQN is dependent on a physico-chemical auxiliary parameter. The ZHK-UQN is exceeded if the 90 percentile value of the concentration quotients determined in a calendar year is greater than one. The concentration ratios result from the ratio of the measured concentration of the parameter and the relevant value of the ZHK-UQN at the simultaneously measured concentration of the physico-chemical auxiliary parameter according to Appendix A (Water hardness). In the calculation of the concentration ratios, the conventions referred to in Section I shall apply. "

For the Neusiedler See, a theoretical mean chloride concentration [Cl *] is used for evaluation. It applies to a resting water level (RWS) of 115.5 m above sea level. A. or the corresponding sea volume V*. At other water levels and in accordance with other Seevolumina V, [Cl *] is to be calculated from the actual mean chloride concentration [Cl]: [Cl *] = [Cl] * V/V*. V is calculated according to V = 65.773 RWS2-14949 RWS + 849401. The calculation of the alkalinity and the conductivity is carried out analogously with reference to a water level of 115.5 m above sea level. A. (RWS: Calculation as mean of the Seepegel Rust, Mörbisch, Breitenbrunn (Seepegel), Neusiedl, Podersdorf, Illmitz and Apetlon over a period of 1 week). "

Amendment of the quality target regulation of chemistry groundwater

On the basis of Section 30c (2) of the Water Rights Act 1959, BGBl. No. 215, as last amended by the Federal Law BGBl. I n ° 123/2006 and the Federal Ministries of the Federal Ministries of Law 2009, BGBl. I No 3, shall be assigned:

The quality target regulation of chemistry groundwater, BGBl. II No 98/2010, shall be amended as follows:

1. § 5 (4) reads:

" (4) In calculating the arithmetic mean value for a measured quantity, the following requirements shall apply:

1.

Measurement values below the limit of determination shall be set at half the value of the limit of determination concerned. This does not apply to measures which are sums of individual substances, isomers or congeners; in such cases, measured values of the individual substances which are below the limit of determination must be set to zero.

2.

If an arithmetic mean is below the limit of determination concerned, this value shall be referred to as "below the limit of determination".
