Appendix 4

Console Monitoring of bathing water

1. For each bath water, the municipalities shall draw up a timetable for the inspection of the surveillance authorities on the basis of each bath. Confidential surveillance shall be carried out within four days of the date set in the schedule for surveillance monitoring.

2. It shall be taken and analysed at least four samples per : Season season. For beaches with prolonged bath season, cf. Section 1 (1). FIVE, TWO. pkton, but at least five samples. The first sample is taken five to ten days both, including before the beginning of the bath season.

3. The dates of the sampling are spread over the whole bath season, the interval between the dates of the test tagging must never be more than 30 days.

4. For short-term contamination 1) an additional sample shall be taken to confirm that the incident has been discharged. This sample must not be included in the bath water quality data set. If a sample is necessary to replace a sample loaded out of the light, a sample shall be taken seven days after the duration of the short-term contamination. Tests that have been taken during short-term pollution may be left out of the light. They are replaced by samples taken in accordance with point (s). 2-4.

5. In abnormal situations 2) the schedule for monitoring surveillance may be lodged in the bero. The plan shall be resumed immediately after an end to the abnormal situation. New tests shall be carried out as soon as possible after the abnormal situation has been terminated in order to replace the missing samples.

Water Instances Definitions

1) Surface water, water, other than groundwater, transitional waters and coastal waters, except in the case of chemical status, where it also includes territorial waters.

2) Groundwater : all forms of water beneath the surface of the soil in saturated zones and in direct contact with the surface or underground surface.

3) Water : all the standing or flowing water of the surface and all ground water on the land side of the baseline from which the width of territorial waters is measured.

4) Transitional waters : surface waters within the vicinity of estuary, which are partially saluted as a result of their presence in the vicinity of coastal waters, but which are significantly affected by freshwater flows.

5) Water : surface water on the land side of a line where each point is situated at a distance of one nautical miles to the port from the nearest point of the baseline from which the width of territorial waters is measured and where appropriate, stretches out to the final limit of the transitional period.

6) Artificial aquatic area : the presence of surface water created by human activity.

7) Water-flow landing : land area from which all surface flow flows through a series of smaller and larger streaming waters and, where appropriate, lakes out to the sea in a single estuary or a single delta.

Official notes

1) The announcement contains provisions that implement parts of Directive 2006 /7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Parliament. February 2006, on the management of bathing water quality and repealing Directive 76 /160/EEC, EU-begging 2006, nr. L 64, page 37.

1) Based on the assessment of the percentile of the normal probability distribution, 10 of the microbiological data obtained from a given bathing water, the percentile value is calculated as follows :-Log 10 the value of all microbiological censuses in the data to be assessed, shall be calculated. (If a 0 value is obtained, the log is calculated 10 -the value of the lower detection limit for the analytical method used). -The arithmetic mean value of log 10 the values (s) are calculated. -Default-Deviation 10 the values (the) are calculated. The upper 90-percentile point of the probability distribution of the data is calculated by the following equation : upper 90-percentile = antilog (+ 1,282). The upper 95 percentile point of the probability distribution of the data is calculated by the following equation : upper 95-percentile = antilog (+ 1.65).

2) "Last Rating Period" ; the last four bathing seasons.

3) "Ringers" means higher concentrations expressed in cfu/100 ml.

4) ' Better ' means lower concentrations expressed in cfu/100 ml.

1) Cyanobacterial growth : the accumulation of cyanobacteria in the form of blossoms, surface layers or foam.

1) For short-term pollution, a microbiological contamination, cf. the parameters, intestinal enterococts and Escherichia coli, in Annex 1, which clearly have identifiable reasons which are not normally expected to affect the quality of bathing water in more than just about. 72 hours after the bathing water quality has only been affected and for which the local authority has established procedures to predict and handle such a, cf. Annex 2.

2) In the abnormal situation, an event or combination of events impacting the quality of bathing water at that location, which on average is not expected to occur more than once every four years.
