249. Ordinance of the Federal Minister for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management on the limitation of waste water emissions from wastewater treatment plants for single objects in extreme conditions (3. AEV for municipal waste water)

On the basis of § § 33b (3), (4), (5) and (7) and 33c (1) of the Water Rights Act 1959-WRG 1959, BGBl. No. 215, as last amended by the Federal Law BGBl. I No 87/2005, shall be assigned in agreement with the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Labour:

§ 1. (1) In the case of water-law approval of an introduction of waste water from a waste water purification plant for a single object in extreme conditions into a flowing water, the in Annex A shall be required.

(2) Paragraph 1 shall not apply to waste water from a sewage treatment plant which

1.

Waste water from a commercial activity which, in its nature, differs significantly from that of domestic waste water and that from the scope of a regulation according to Article 4 (3) of the Regulation on the general limitation of waste water emissions in rivers and public canalisations (AAEV), BGBl. No 186/1996, or

2.

Waste water from bulk animal husbandry or (§ 4 para. 2 Z 10.1 AAEV)

3.

Waste water from milk processing or milk processing (§ 4 para. 2 Z 5.2 AAEV)

.

(3) In an extreme situation a single object is situated if it is

1.

not more than a total of 200 days of a calendar year (continuous or interrupted), inhabited or managed, and

2.

in the residential or management period (Z 1) cannot be reached either with a vehicle or with an ascent aid; and

3.

Neither with electrical energy (other than those produced in its own production by the sole or combined use of liquefied petroleum gas, light energy, vegetable oil, hydropower or wind energy), nor with other energy (with the exception of liquefied petroleum gas, solid fuels or the direct use of solar radiation), and

4.

has a specific water consumption of not more than 75 litres per inhabitated value per day.

The requirements mentioned in Z 1, 3 or 4 may be waited on a case-by-case basis. In such a case, such a technical or organisational effort must be recognised as a criterion for the recognition of the extreme situation for waste water purification or waste and sewage sludge disposal, with regard to the waste water purification or sludge disposal system. Water management conditions of the object location as disproportionate in the sense of section 21a (3) lit. a WRG 1959 would have to be evaluated.

(4) A single object shall be deemed to be accessible during the residential or management period as neither with a vehicle nor with an ascent aid within the meaning of paragraph 3 Z 2 if it is accessible from the nearest to a vehicle or an ascent aid. Point

1.

a horizontal distance greater than four kilometres, or

2.

a vertical distance greater than 400 metres, or

3.

a stretch of road for which a healthy adult needs a walking time of more than one hour at medium walking speed,

is removed. If a single object is accessible only by foot from the nearest point which can be reached by a vehicle or an ascent aid, the non-availability can also be given if none of the requirements of Z 1 to 3 is fulfilled. In such a case, such a technical or organisational effort must be recognised as a criterion for the recognition of the extreme situation for waste water purification or waste and sewage sludge disposal, with regard to the waste water purification or sludge disposal system. Water management conditions of the object location as disproportionate in the sense of section 21a (3) lit. a WRG 1959 would have to be evaluated.

(5) As a vehicle within the meaning of paragraph 3 (2) and (4), the following shall apply:

1.

Motor vehicle,

2.

rail vehicle,

3.

Watercraft,

4.

aircraft,

5.

Motor sled, quard, piste preparation device or other mobile device,

which is intended for the general or commercial transport of persons, with the exception of vehicles according to Z 1 to 5 for the transport of only those persons who are involved in the supply or disposal of the individual object. A fixed mechanical ascent aid, which is intended for the private or commercial transport of persons, applies as an ascent aid in the sense of paragraph 3 Z 2 and the paragraph 4. A material cable car with exclusive works transport within the meaning of § 6 para. 2 of the cable car law 2003, BGBl. I n ° 103/2003, does not apply as an ascent aid in the sense of paragraph 3 (2) and (4).

(6) The specific water consumption (para. 3 Z 4) shall be applied to the provisions of the Appendix B Point B 2 to be determined.

(7) In so far as this Regulation does not contain any provisions derogating from the AAEV, the AAEV shall apply with the exception of § 4 para. 3 sentence 2 AAEV.

(8) In the event of a lawfully existing introduction in accordance with paragraph 1, it is necessary to comply with the emission limits of Annex A or, in the case of a requested introduction in accordance with paragraph 1, to comply with the emission limits of the installation A situation cannot be ensured by other measures, inter alia the following measures relating to the water-economic conditions of individual objects in extreme conditions can be considered either in the case of a single or combined use (as of Avoidance, retention and cleaning technology):

1.

Use of water-saving fittings in the area of plumbing and kitchen areas;

2.

Use of water meters in conjunction with time-to-day management of daily water consumption records;

3.

Keeping records relating to the daily frequency of a single object in extreme situations, broken down by

a)

Persons who stay in the single object all day,

b)

Persons who stay in the single object (other than those according to lit. (a)

c)

Persons temporarily residing in the individual object;

4.

Refrain from introducing waste (non-hazardous waste, problem substances and hazardous waste), in particular of liquid waste into the waste water purification plant (§ 3 para. 11 AAEV), in compliance with the provisions of the waste management law;

5.

Refrain from the use of waste crusher for the disposal of pre-crushed solid waste through the waste water purification plant;

6.

the use of fat separators in the waste water part stream of the kitchen area, including ensuring an orderly waste disposal facility;

7.

Prohibit the introduction of chemical or mobile toilet contents into the sewage treatment plant;

8.

(3) The following shall apply to external surveillance:

1.

If a measured value is determined for one to four times during the annual monitoring period for a parameter 2 or 4 to 6 of Appendix A, but which is greater than the emission limit but not greater than twice the value of the measured value, the measured value shall be determined by the following: to repeat the measurement. If, during the repeated measurement, the measured value is not greater than the emission limit, it shall be deemed to have been complied with. In the event of more frequent monitoring during the annual monitoring period, the emission limit for a parameter 2 or 4 to 6 of Annex A shall be deemed to have been observed if, in the case of 80% of the monitoring carried out, the measured values are no greater than those of the Emission limitation according to Appendix A and in the case of no monitoring, a measured value is greater than twice the emission limit.

2.

If the sampling is carried out in accordance with Annex C Point C 2 lit. a a measured value of the parameter Absettable substances (No. The measurement must be repeated if the system A) is determined which is greater than the emission limit but not greater than the two times the emission limit. If, during the repeated measurement, the measured value is not greater than the emission limit, it shall be deemed to have been complied with. When the sampling is carried out in accordance with Annex C, point C 2 lit. (b) the emission limit for parameter 1 of Appendix A shall be deemed to have been complied with if, for 80% of the measurements carried out during the measurement period, the measured values are not greater than the emission limit and no measured value is the emission limit of more than than 100%.
