agrochemical testing of agricultural soil (fertilizers Act), as amended by
Act No. 9/2009 Coll.:
§ 1
The subject of the edit
This Decree lays down the conditions and manner of use of the sediment on the
agricultural land, a way of keeping records on the use of the sediments, the limit
the values of the risk elements and hazardous substances in the sediment and soil, the
that is to be used, the requirements for the other physico-chemical and
biological characteristics of the sediment and the procedures of analysis of sediments and soils,
including sampling methods.
§ 2
The limit values of the risk elements and hazardous substances in the sediment and in
the soil on which it is to be used, and biological properties of sediment
(1) the limit values of the risk elements and hazardous substances in the sediment
are set out in annex 1 to this notice. The limit values are
set when you use procedures according to specific standards (§ 4 para. 1 and 2)
published in the journal of the Office for standards, metrology
and State testing. The specified standard means the Czech technical standard,
For more technical standard or technical document international, or
foreign organizations or other technical document containing
For more detailed technical requirements, designated and notified to this Decree
under the law on technical requirements for products "^ 1") (hereinafter referred to as "the designated
standard "). Compliance with limit values shall be determined by the results of
analyses of the sediment samples collected before and after its extraction and movement
leaf sampling of the sediment. The model Passport subscription form
sediment samples is given in annex 2 to this Decree.
(2) the limit values of the risk elements and hazardous substances in the soil, on the
that is to be used, the sediment are set out in annex 3 to this
the Decree. The limit values are set when you use the procedures referred to in
designated standards (§ 4 para. 1 and 2) published in the journal of the Office for
technical standardization, metrology and State testing. Compliance with the
the exposure limit values shall be determined by the results of the analysis of samples of soils
and the accompanying sheet of sampling the soil. Model form of the accompanying worksheet
soil sampling is given in annex 2 to this Decree.
(3) the limit values of risk elements in the soil are not identified for the soil
on substrates with extreme levels of certain contingent geogenně
risk elements. These soil sediment can be used only in the case that
the contents of the risk elements in sediment do not exceed the levels of risk
the elements in these soils, while paragraph 3 (b). and (b)))
do not apply.
(4) in cases where, due to the specific local conditions
suspected of being contaminated sediment in other risk elements, or
hazardous materials, other than those listed in annex 1 to this
the Decree, in concentrations that could result in damage to
physical, chemical or biological properties of agricultural land [§
9. 2 (a). (c) fertilisers) Act], proceed according to the law on
protection of agricultural land resources ^ 2). Biological properties of sediment
and soil and sediment contamination by pathogenic factors are determined
ekotoxikologickými tests and monitoring of indicator microorganisms
According to annex No 4 to this notice.
§ 3
The conditions and the way of using sediment on agricultural land
Can be used on agricultural land, sediments, if
and concentration of risk elements) and hazardous substances in them
contained does not exceed the limit values laid down in annex 1 to this
the Decree,
(b) the concentration of selected risk elements) and hazardous substances in the soil
do not exceed the limit values laid down in annex 3 to this notice;
concentrations of selected risk elements and hazardous substances in the soil will
do not detect in the case do not exceed the established levels of risk elements
and hazardous substances in the sediment limit values laid down in annex No. 3
This Decree,
(c)) the deterioration of the physical, chemical or biological
soil characteristics, which are excavated sediments used, and the amount of
the content of the skeleton in the sediment meets the limit values listed in annex No.
