    • Section 2: constructive arrangements Article 11 Learn more about this article...


      In general, the constructive provisions aim to ensure that the ruin of a structural element does not result in the chain ruin of the structure of the building, particularly the surrounding premises, and does not promote the collapse of the structure outside the first fire place.



      11.1. Fire-risk premises
      11.1.1. Definition


      Fire-risk premises are the premises identified in section 8, the premises containing the storage of fuel materials such as consumables and raw materials (except refrigerated premises) and the storage premises of finished products identified in the last paragraph of section 11.2. Facilities in public-owned facilities (PPEs) of type M are also considered fire-risk premises.
      The fuel storage facilities classified under headings 1510, 1511 or 1530 shall be subject to the general requirements for each of these headings and shall therefore not be subject to the provisions of this Order.


      11.1.2. constructive arrangements


      The fire-risk premises referred to in 11.1.1 shall have the following minimum reaction and fire-resistance characteristics:
      ― ensemble of the structure a minima R. 15;
      - the exterior walls are constructed of A2s1d0 materials (Bs3d0 for refrigerated premises if they are covered by the last paragraph of section 11.2);
      – roofs and roof coverings satisfy the class and index BROOF (t3);
      – they are isolated from other premises by a distance of at least 10 meters or by walls, ceilings and floors that are all REI 120;
      any communication with another local is made by an EI2 door 120 C equipped with a closed door or automatic shut-off device.
      11.2. Other premises (including those containing the process referred to in section 2221, the storage of finished products and refrigerated premises)
      Other premises, including those containing the process referred to in section 2221, the storage of finished products and refrigerated premises, have the following minimum reaction and fire resistance characteristics:
      ― ensemble of the structure a minima R. 15;
      - A2s1d0 internal and external walls (Bs3d0 for refrigerated premises);
      – roofs and roof coverings satisfy the class and index BROOF (t3);
      ― any communication with another local is made by an EI2 30 C door equipped with a firm-door or automatic closure device.
      The refrigerated premises are on the ground floor.
      If the premises, whether refrigerated or not, dedicated to the storage of finished products are more than the quantity produced in two days by the installation under section 2221, these premises are considered to be fire-risk premises. The requirements of this Article shall not apply and such premises shall comply with the requirements of Article 11.1.2.


      11.3. Openings


      The openings in the separative elements (passing ducts and pipes, conveyors, etc.) are equipped with devices ensuring a degree of fire resistance equivalent to that required for these separative elements.

      Article 12 Learn more about this article...


      I. Accessibility.
      The facility has at least access at all times to allow fire and rescue services to be operated.
      For the purpose of this Order, "access to installation" means an opening linking the service or public lane and the interior of the site sufficiently sized to allow the entry of emergency equipment and their implementation.
      Vehicles whose presence is related to the operation of the facility station without causing any discomfort for the accessibility of emergency equipment from the external traffic lanes to the installation, even outside the operating and opening hours of the facility.
      II. - Accessibility of equipment near the facility.
      At least one "machine" track is kept clear for traffic on the perimeter of the installation and is positioned so that it cannot be obstructed by the collapse of any or part of the installation.
      This "machine" track respects the following characteristics:
      - the useful width is at least 3 metres, the free height at a minimum of 3.5 metres and the slope below 15%;
      ― in the inner radius bends below 50 metres, a minimum R inner radius of 13 metres is maintained and an overwidth of S = 15/R metres is added;
      – the track is resistant to the load calculated for a vehicle of 160 kN with a maximum of 90 kN per axle, with a maximum distance of 3.6 metres;
      ― each point in the perimeter of the installation is at a maximum distance of 60 metres from that track;
      ― no obstacle is available between access to the installation or ladder and the "machine" path.

      III. - Displace emergency equipment inside the site.
      In order to allow the crossing of emergency equipment, any section of "machine" track of more than 100 linear meters has at least two so-called cross-roads, judiciously positioned, whose characteristics are:
      ― minimum useful width of 3 meters in addition to the "machine" track;
      - minimum length of 10 meters,
      presenting the same qualities of slope, bearing force and free height as the "machinery" path.
      IV. - Ladder station.
      For any installation located in a building of height greater than 8 metres, at least one façade is served by at least one "scale" track allowing the circulation and stationing of the air scales. This ladder is directly accessible from the "machine" track defined in II.
      From this path, a ladder accessing at least the entire height of the building can be arranged. The track also meets the following characteristics:
      ― the useful width is at least 4 meters, the length of the parking area at least 10 meters, the slope at a maximum of 10%;
      ― in the inner radius bends below 50 metres, a minimum R inner radius of 13 metres is maintained and an overwidth of S = 15/R metres is added;
      - no air obstacle hinders the manoeuvre of these scales vertically across the entire track;
      - the distance to the façade is 1 meter minimum and 8 meters maximum for parking parallel to the building and less than 1 meter for parking perpendicular to the building;
      – the track is resistant to the load calculated for a vehicle of 160 kN with a maximum of 90 kN per axle, with a maximum distance of 3.6 metres, and has a minimum punching resistance of 88 N/cm2.
      In addition, for any installation located in a multi-level building with at least one floor located at a height greater than 8 metres from the level of emergency access, on at least two facades, this "scale" path allows access to openings.
      These openings allow at least one access per floor for each façade with a "scale" track and have a minimum height of 1.80 metres and a minimum width of 0.90 metres. Obturation panels or frames that make these access open and remain accessible from outside and inside. They are easily identified from outside by emergency services.
      V. - Establishment of the hydraulic system from the equipment.
      From each "machine" or "scale" track is provided access to all exits of the building or at least two opposite sides of the installation by a stabilized path of at least 1.40 metres wide.

      IV. - The soil of areas and premises for the storage or handling of hazardous materials for humans or likely to create pollution of water or soil is watertight and equipped so that it can collect washwater and commonly used materials accidentally.
      The loading and unloading areas of tank vehicles are watertight and linked to retentions dimensioned according to the rules set out in paragraph I above.
      Carriage of the products inside the establishment is carried out with the necessary precautions to avoid accidental overthrow of the packagings (carriage of drums...).
      V. - All measures are taken to collect all water and drainage that may be polluted during a disaster, including water used during a fire, so that it is recovered or treated to prevent pollution of soils, sewers, streams or natural environment. This containment can be achieved by internal or external devices at the facility. Internal devices are prohibited when dangerous substances are stored.
      In the event of an external containment device to the installation, the channeled materials are collected, gravelly or through self-sustaining systems, and then converge to this specific capacity. In the event of the use of autonomous lifting systems, the operator is able to justify at any time a rigorous maintenance and maintenance of these devices. Regular tests are also conducted on these equipment.
      In case of internal containment, the flow holes are in default closed position. In the event of external containment, the flow holes from these devices are equipped with an automatic shut-off device to ensure this containment when waters that are likely to be polluted are carried. Any means are put in place to avoid the spread of the fire by these flows.
      The volume required for this containment is determined as follows. The operator calculates the sum:
      - the volume of stored liquids;
      – the amount of extinction water required to fight fire (120 m3 minimum);
      - the volume of water associated with the weather at 10 litres per square metre of drainage surface to the containment work when the containment is external.
      The collected extinction waters are disposed of to the appropriate waste processing channels.

    • Section 3: Collection and Release of Effluents Rule 29 Learn more about this article...


      I. ― Collection of effluents.
      Direct connections between effluent collection networks to be treated or destroyed and the receiving environment are prohibited, with the exception of accidental cases where the safety of individuals or facilities would be compromised.
      Aqueous effluent discharged by facilities is not likely to degrade the facility's networks or to release toxic or flammable products in these networks, possibly by mixing with other effluents. These effluents do not contain substances that hinder the proper operation of the site's processing facilities.
      The collectors carrying water polluted by flammable liquids, or likely to be, are equipped with effective protection against the danger of flame propagation.
      The effluent collection network plan shows the sectors collected, the points of connection, looks, swallows, lifting stations, measuring stations, manual and automatic valves... It is retained in the installation file.
      II. – Pretreatment and treatment facilities.
      In order to minimize the load of effluent in fatty bodies, food particles, and organic debris in general, the soils of the workshops, cold rooms and all working workshops are cleaned dry by scraping before washing.
      Without prejudice to sanitary regulatory obligations, soils in areas that may collect waste water and/or wash of the facility are filled with waterproof coating and the slope allows these effluents to be driven to an orifice equipped with a siphon and, where applicable, a perforated tray to recover solids and connected to the drainage system.
      The facility has a effluent pre-treatment device produced with, at a minimum, de-icing and, where applicable, sieving, desablage, degreasing, or any other treatment solution.

      The material collected shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Article 57 (II) below.

      Rule 30 Learn more about this article...


      Release points in the natural environment are as small as possible.
      Releases allow good effluent diffusion in the receiving environment and minimize the mixing area.
      Residual water discharge devices are designed to minimize the disruption to the receiving environment, at the edge of the discharge point, depending on the use of the water in the immediate vicinity and at the end of the receiving environment, and not to hinder navigation.

      Rule 31 Learn more about this article...


      On each effluent discharge pipe is provided a sample sampling point and measurement points (debit, temperature, polluting concentration...).
      These points are located in a section whose characteristics (e.g., upstream conduct, wall quality, flow regime, etc.) allow for representative measurements to be made so that the speed is not substantially slowed down by thresholds or obstacles at the swallow and the effluent is sufficiently homogeneous.
      These points are designed so as to be easily accessible and to allow safe interventions. All arrangements are also made to facilitate the intervention of organizations outside the application for inspection of classified facilities.

      Rule 32 Learn more about this article...


      Unclean rainwaters that do not alter their original quality are evacuated by a specific network.
      Rainwater that is likely to be polluted, including runoff on traffic lanes, parking, loading and unloading areas, storage areas and other waterproof surfaces, is collected by a specific network and processed by one or more appropriate treatment devices to treat pollutants in the presence.
      These treatment devices conform to NF P 16-442 (November 2007 or later) or any other equivalent European or international standard.
      These equipment are drained (hydrocarbons and sludges) and cured when the volume of sludge reaches half of the useful volume of the sludge and in all cases at least once a year, unless the operator's justification for the carry-over of this operation on the basis of regular visual controls recorded and held at the disposal of the inspection. In any case, the postponement of this operation will not exceed two years. Follow-up sheets for the cleaning of deciant-separators of hydrocarbons, the standard compliance certificate, and waste-processing slips destroyed or retired are required for inspection of classified facilities.
      When the runoff on all surfaces of the facility (sizes, parking areas, etc.), in the event of rain corresponding to the maximum 10-year precipitation, is likely to generate a flow at the outflow of the water treatment facilities above 10% of the QMNA5 in the receiving environment, the operator puts in place a collection work in order to respect, in the case of 10-year precipitation, a flow rate below 10M
      In case of rejection in a collective collection work, the maximum flow rate is fixed by agreement between the operator and the manager of the collection work.
      The collected water can only be released to the receiving environment after quality control and if appropriate treatment is required. Their release is spread over time as a need to meet the limit values set out in section 41, subject to the compatibility of the discharges with the pollution levels defined below with the quality and quantity objectives of the waters referred to in Article L. 212-1 of the Environmental Code.

  • Annex



    A N N E X E S
    A N N E X E I
    TECHNICAL REGULATIONS


    The facility is built, equipped and operated so that its operation is not at the origin of vibrations in the surrounding constructions that could compromise the health or safety of the neighbourhood or create a nuisance for the neighbourhood.
    The particulate velocity of the emitted vibration, measured by the method defined in this annex, shall not exceed the values defined below.


    1. Limit values of particulate speed
    1.1. Continuous or assimilated sources


    Are considered continuous or assimilated sources:
    - all machines emitting vibrations continuously;
    ― sources emitting pulses at fairly short intervals without limiting the number of emissions.
    The limit values applicable to each of the three components of the vibration movement are as follows:


    FREQUENCES
    4 Hz ― 8 Hz
    8 Hz ― 30 Hz
    30 Hz ― 100 Hz

    Resistant constructions

    5 mm/s

    6 mm/s

    8 mm/s

    Sensitive construction

    3 mm/s

    5 mm/s

    6 mm/s

    Very sensitive constructions

    2 mm/s

    3 mm/s

    4 mm/s


    1.2. Repeated pulse sources


    Repetitive pulses are considered to be pulsed sources, with a limited number of pulses at short intervals but greater than 1 s and less than 500 ms.
    The limit values applicable to each of the three components of the vibration movement are as follows:


    FREQUENCES
    4 Hz ― 8 Hz
    8 Hz ― 30 Hz
    30 Hz ― 100 Hz

    Resistant constructions

    8 mm/s

    12 mm/s

    15 mm/s

    Sensitive construction

    6 mm/s

    9 mm/s

    12 mm/s

    Very sensitive constructions

    4 mm/s

    6 mm/s

    9 mm/s


    Regardless of the nature of the source, where the frequencies corresponding to the particulate speeds commonly observed during the measurement period are approaching 0.5 Hz frequencies of 8, 30 and 100 Hz, the limit value to be retained is that corresponding to the immediately lower frequency band. If vibrations involve frequencies outside the 4-100 Hz interval, a qualified body approved by the Minister responsible for the environment should be used.


    2. Construction classification


    For the application of particulate speed limits, constructions are classified into three categories according to their level of resistance:
    • Resistant constructions: constructions of classes 1 to 4 defined by Circular No. 23 of 23 July 1986 on mechanical vibrations emitted in the environment by installations classified for environmental protection;
    • sensitive constructions: constructions of classes 5 to 8 defined by circular 23 of 23 July 1986;
    - very sensitive constructions: constructions of classes 9 to 13 defined by circular 23 of 23 July 1986;
    The following constructions are excluded from this classification:
    - nuclear reactors and their associated installations;
    - general safety facilities except for the constructions that contain them;
    – dams, bridges;
    • water castles;
    - the long-range transport facilities of gases or liquids other than water, as well as the pressure water pipes greater than one metre;
    – storage tanks for gas, liquid hydrocarbons or cereals;
    - railway or road tunnels and other underground works of similar importance;
    ― harbour works such as dikes, docks and works located at sea, including drilling platforms,
    for which the study of vibration effects must be entrusted to a qualified body. The choice of this body must be approved by inspection of classified facilities.


    3. Method of measurement
    3.1. Basic elements


    The movement in a given point of a construction is recorded in three rectangular directions, one of which is vertical, the other two directions being defined in relation to the horizontal axes of the work studied without taking into account the azimut.
    The sensors are placed on the main element of the construction (window support of a carrying wall, support point on the metal frame or concrete in the case of a modern construction).


    3.2. Measuring apparatus


    The measuring string to be used shall allow the recording, depending on time, of the particulate speed in the frequency band from 4 Hz to 150 Hz for the amplitudes of this speed between 0.1 mm/s and 50 mm/s. The chain dynamics shall be at least 54 dB.


    3.3. Operational conditions


    The sensors must be completely supportive of their support. Care must be taken not to install the sensors on the coatings (zinc, plaster, tile...) that can act as vibration filters or cause parasites vibration if these coatings are not well in solidarity with the main element of the construction. A measure of the existing agitations should be performed, if possible, outside the operation of the source.


    A N N E X E I
    CALCUL RULES OF CHEMINATION


    The amount s = k q/cm is calculated for each of the main pollutants where:
    k is a coefficient of 340 for gaseous pollutants and 680 for dust;
    q is the maximum instantaneous flow rate of the pollutant emitted to the chimney expressed in kilograms per hour;
    cm is the maximum concentration of the pollutant considered eligible for soil level as a result of the facility expressed in milligrams per normal cubic metre;
    cm is equal to cr ― co where cr is a reference value given by the table below and where co is the annual average of the measured concentration at the place in question.

    0.08


    For other pollutants, in the absence of a measure, co may be neglected.
    S is then determined which is equal to the largest of the s values calculated for each of the main pollutants.
    The height of the chimney, expressed in metres, shall be at least equal to the hp value calculated as follows:


    hp = s1/2 (RΔT)―1/6


    where:
    s is defined above;
    R is the gas flow expressed in cubic metres per hour and counted at the actual gas ejection temperature;
    + T is the difference expressed in kelvin between the temperature at the outlet of the chimney and the average annual temperature of the ambient air. If + T is less than 50 kelvins we adopt the value of 50 for the calculation.
    If a facility is equipped with several chimneys or if there are other releases from the same pollutants to the atmosphere, the calculation of the height of the chimney is as follows:
    Two chimneys i and j, respectively hi and hj are considered dependent if the following three conditions are simultaneously met:
    the distance between the axes of the two chimneys is less than the sum: (hi + hj + 10) (in meters);
    hi is greater than half hj;
    hj is greater than half hi.
    This means that all the chimney-dependent chimneys of which the height is at least equal to the hp value calculated for the total mass flow of pollutants and the total volumic flow of the gases emitted by all these chimneys.
    If there are natural or artificial barriers in the vicinity to disrupt the dispersion of gases, the height of the chimney must be corrected as follows:
    ― the hp value is calculated taking into account other releases when there are;
    ― structures and buildings are considered to be obstructions, including those that house the facility under study, simultaneously meeting the following conditions:
    ― they are located at a horizontal distance (expressed in meters) less than 10 hp + 50 of the axis of the chimney considered;
    - they have a width greater than 2 metres;
    – they are seen from the chimney considered from an angle greater than 15° in the horizontal plane;
    ―or hi the altitude (expressed in metres and taken relative to the average level of the ground at the place of the chimney) of a point of an obstacle located at a horizontal distance di (expressed in metres) of the axis of the chimney considered, and Hi defined as follows:
    • if di is less than or equal to 2 hp + 10, Hi = hi + 5;
    • if di is between 2 hp + 10 hp + 50,
    Hi = 5/4 (hi + 5)(1 ― di/[10 hp + 50]);
    - the largest Hp of the Hi values calculated for all points of all the obstacles defined above;
    – the height of the chimney must be greater than or equal to the largest Hp and hp values.
    The maximum continuous gas ejection speed is at least 8 m/s if the emission flow of the treated chimney exceeds 5,000 m3/h, 5 m/s if the flow rate is less than or equal to 5,000 m3/h.

    - the location, volume, characteristics and terms and conditions of use of waste storage or effluent pending disposal; identification of alternative disposal or valuation channels;
    ― the description of soil characteristics, in particular with respect to the parameters defined in paragraph 2 of the following point II and the ETMs referred to in table 2 of the following point I, in the light of analyses dating less than one year;
    ― the demonstration of the adequacy between agricultural surfaces controlled by the operator or made available to it by land lenders and waste streams or effluents to spread (productions, objective yields, doses to the hectare and return time on the same plot, periods of spreading ban...);
    (c) Spanding plan:
    In view of the pre-study, a spreading plan is carried out; it shall be constituted:
    ― a map at a minimum scale of 1/25,000 allowing to locate areas where spreading is possible given the surfaces excluded from spreading (see especially g spreading rules). This map shows the contours and numbers of the surface units that can be identified as well as areas excluded from spreading;
    a document referring to the identity and address of land lenders who have signed a written contract with the operator, including their mutual commitments and responsibilities;
    - a table referring to the surfaces identified on the cartographic medium and indicating, for each unit, the PAC reference islet numbers or, failing that, the cadastral references, the total area and the potentially spreadable area as well as the name of the agricultural operator.
    Any modification of the spread plan shall be brought before it is made to the knowledge of the prefect.
    (d) Spanding rules:
    1. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potash intakes of all origins, organic and mineral, on lands subject to spreading, take into account the rotation of crops as well as the particular nature of land and its fertilizing content. Spanded quantities and spreading periods are adapted to ensure the provision of material that is useful to soils or crops without exceeding the requirements, taking into account intakes of any kind, including fertilizers, amendments and crop materials. Organic nitrogen fertilization is prohibited on all legumes except for alfalfa and grass-leaving meadows.
    2. Characteristics of wastes:
    The pH of effluent or waste is between 6.5 and 8.5. However, different values may be retained subject to favourable conclusions of the preliminary study.
    Wastes or effluents do not contain any unwanted elements or substances (plastic, metal, glass, etc.) or pathogens beyond the following concentrations:
    Salmonella: 8 NPP/10 g MS (numbering according to the most likely number technique);
    ― Enterovirus: 3 NPPUC/10 g MS (numbering according to the most likely number of cytopathogenic units);
    ― viable heminth eggs: 3 to 10 g MS.
    Waste or effluent may not be spread:
    - if the metal trace elements in the soil exceed one of the limit values in Table 2 of Point I below;
    - provided that any of the undesirable elements or elements contained in the waste or effluent exceeds the limit values set out in tables 1-a and 1-b of point I below;
    ― provided that the flux, accumulated over a ten-year period, provided by waste or effluent on any of these components or compounds exceeds the limit values set out in table 1 of point I below.
    When waste or effluent is spread on pastures, the maximum flow of metallic trace elements to be taken into account, accumulated over a period of ten years, is that of table 3 of point I below.
    Waste or effluent shall not be disposed of on soils with a pre-spread pH of less than 6, except where the following three conditions are simultaneously met:
    - soil pH is greater than 5;
    ― the nature of waste or effluent can help to trace soil pH to a value greater than or equal to 6;
    ― the maximum cumulative flux of soil elements is below the values of Table 3 below.
    3. Forecasting program:
    An annual forecasting program is established, in agreement with land lender farmers, no later than one month before the start of the operations concerned. It also includes the parcels of the waste or effluent producer when it is also an agricultural operator.
    The program includes:
    ― the list of plots affected by the campaign as well as the characterization of crop systems (cultures established before and after spreading, intercultural period) on these plots;
    - a characterization of the various wastes or effluents (type [liquids, pulpy and solids], predictive quantities, production rate, as well as at least the total nitrogen content and mineral and mineral nitrogen available for fertilizing culture, measured and determined on the basis of analyses dating less than one year);
    ― results of a soil analysis dating less than a year on the global nitrogen parameter and mineral and mineral nitrogen at each representative point of reference of each homogeneous zone;
    - specific preconizations for the intake of waste or effluent (calendar and spreading doses...);
    ― the identification of legal or physical persons involved in the realization of the spread.
    This forecasting program is available for inspection of classified facilities. He was sent to him on his request.
    4. The characterization of waste or effluent provided in the pre-study is verified by analysis prior to the first spread. In addition to the first year of spreading, effluents or wastes are periodically analyzed, including whenever changes in processes or treatments are likely to change their quality (especially for the content of metallic and organic components).
    5. In the case of a new facility, the data on the characteristics of waste or effluent and the doses of employment are updated and are sent to the prefect after the first year of operation.
    6. Unstabilized solid or pasty waste is buried as soon as possible, within a maximum of 48 hours, to reduce olfactory nuisances and loss by volatilization. Derogations from the obligation of burial may, however, be granted on justification in the record for crops in place provided that these are not intended for direct human consumption.
    7. Subject to the requirements established pursuant to Public Health Code, the spread of waste or effluent respects the following minimum distances and times:


    NATURE OF ACTIVITIES TO PROTECT
    MINIMUM DISTANCE

    No spread during the vegetation period


    Lands intended for or assigned to vegetable or fruit crops, in contact with soils, or likely to be consumed in a raw state

    Ten months before harvest and during harvest itself



    8. Spanding periods and spreading quantities are adapted to:
    - to ensure the contribution of elements that are useful to soils and cultures without exceeding their needs in the matter given the contributions of any kind that they may otherwise receive;
    ― to prevent prolonged stagnation on soils, runoff outside of landfills, rapid percolation;
    ― to prevent the accumulation of long-term substances likely to degrade its structure or present ecotoxicological risk in soil.
    Spanding is prohibited:
    - during periods when the soil is taken by the gel or abundantly snowed, except for solid waste;
    - during periods of high rainfall and during periods of flood risk;
    - outside of regularly worked lands and meadows or exploited forests;
    ― on high-gradient terrain, under conditions that would result in their runoff out of the yard.
    9. Detection of abnormalities:
    Any defects found on soils, crops and their environment during or as a result of the spread of waste or effluent and likely to be in relation to these spreads are reported without delay to the inspection of classified facilities.
    (e) Storage facilities:
    Permanent waste or effluent storage works are dimensioned to cope with periods where swab is either impossible or prohibited by pre-study. In addition, the operator identifies the waste or effluent treatment facilities that may be used in the event of exceedance of the waste or effluent storage capacity.
    All measures are taken to ensure that storage devices are not a source of inconvenience or nuisance for the neighbourhood and do not result in water or soil pollution by runoff or infiltration. Discharge in the natural environment of overflows of storage works is prohibited. Free air storage works are prohibited from accessing unauthorized third parties.
    The temporary waste repository, on spreading plots and without development work, is permitted only when the following five conditions are simultaneously met:
    ― the waste is solid and shall not be fermentable, if not the duration of the deposit is less than forty-eight hours;
    – all precautions have been taken to avoid runoff on or outside the swab plots or rapid percolation to surface or underground slats;
    ― the depot respects the minimum isolation distances defined for the spread at point 7 except for the distance from dwellings or premises inhabited by third parties that is always equal to 100 metres. In addition, a distance of at least 3 metres from roads and ditches is respected;
    ― the volume of the deposit is adapted to the reasoned fertilization of the receiving plots for the period of study;
    – the maximum duration does not exceed one year and the return to the same location cannot take place before a three-year period.
    (f) Cahier d'épandage :
    A workbook, held under the responsibility of the operator, at the disposal of the inspection of the facilities classified for a period of ten years, includes for each of the receptor plots (or islets):
    ― surfaces effectively spread;
    ― carllary references;
    - the dates of spreading;
    the nature of cultures;
    ― the volumes and nature of all spread matter;
    ― the amount of ICPE-based aggregate nitrogen;
    ― the identification of legal or physical persons responsible for spreading operations as well as all the results of analyses carried out on soils and materials with the dates of sampling and measurements and their location.
    This spreadsheet is unalterable at the end of each week in which spreads were made.
    When waste or effluent is spread on plots made available by a land lender, a land lender cosigned by the operator and the land lender is referenced and attached to the land lender. This border is established by the end of the yard and at least once a week. It includes the identification of receiving plots, volumes and quantities of aggregate nitrogen spread.
    (g) Soil analysis:
    The soils shall be analysed on each representative reference point of each homogeneous zone. A homogeneous zone means a part of homogeneous cultural unit from a pedological point of view not exceeding 20 hectares; each cultural unit means a plot or a group of plots operated under a single crop rotation system by a single operator:
    ― after the final spread, on the reference point(s), on each plot excluded from the yard scope;
    - at least every ten years.
    These analyses relate to the elements and substances in item 2 below.
    Soil sampling and analysis methods are consistent with the provisions of point III below.

    Soil sampling:
    The soil sampling shall be carried out within a radius of 7.50 metres around the reference point identified by its Lambert coordinates, at 16 random elementary samples taken in the circle as drawn:
    ― preferably at the end of the crop and before the plow before the establishment of the next;
    ― before a possible new spread of waste or effluent;
    ― by observing in any case a sufficient time after a supply of fertilizing materials to allow their proper integration on the ground;
    – at the same time of year as the first analysis and at the same sampling point.
    The procedures for the execution of elementary sampling and the formation and packaging of samples are in accordance with NF X 31 100.
    Soil preparation and analysis methods:
    The preparation of soil samples for analysis is carried out according to NF ISO 11464 December 1994). The extraction of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn metal trace elements and their analysis is carried out according to NF X 31-147 (July 1996). The pH is performed according to NF ISO 10390 (November 1994).
    Sample effluent and waste:
    Sampling methods may be adapted to the characteristics of waste or effluent from the following standards:
    NF U 44-101: organic products, organic amendments, culture-sampling support;
    NF U 44-108: sludge of urban wastewater treatment works, liquid sludge, sampling to estimate the mean content of a lot;
    NF U 42-051: fertilizer, sampling and lot estimation theory;
    NF U 42-053: fertilizing, fertilizer, reception control of a large lot, practical method;

    TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
    TO THE OPERATIONS OF PREVIOUS AND ANALYSIS
    1. General requirements


    The selected analytical laboratory must meet the following two conditions:
    1. To be accredited according to NF EN ISO/CEI 17025 for the "residual water" matrix, for each substance to be analyzed. In order to justify this accreditation, the laboratory will have to provide the operator with all of the following documents prior to the commencement of sampling and measurement operations in order to justify that it meets the provisions of this annex: supporting accreditations on sampling operations (if available) and analysis of substances in the "residual waters" matrix including a minimum of the accreditation number and the excerpt of the substances concerned; list of references to hazardous substance sampling operations in industrial releases; performance and quality assurance table indicating whether or not the substance is accredited and the quantification limit that must be less than or equal to the QA of section 65; certification from the supplier agreeing to comply with the requirements of the Technical Annex.
    2. Respect the quantification limits listed in section 65 for each substance.
    The provider or operator may use subcontracting or carry out sampling operations. In all cases, it shall ensure compliance with the requirements for sampling operations as described below, in close consultation with the laboratory conducting the analyses. Analytical subcontracting is permitted. However, in the event of subcontracting, the laboratory designated for these analyses must meet the same competency criteria as the provider, i.e., meet the two conditions referred to in paragraph 2 above. The provider will, in any event, remain the only person responsible for the performance of the benefits and will undertake to enforce all of the obligations of the technical annex by its subcontractors. When sampling operations are carried out by the analysis provider, it is solely responsible for the proper execution of the entire chain. When sampling operations are carried out by the operator himself or his subcontractor, the operator is the only person responsible for the performance of the collection benefits and therefore, responsible for the quality of the analysis results. Compliance with this specifications and requirements may be controlled by an organization mandated by the State services. All raw data must be kept by the laboratory for at least three years.


    2. Sampling operations


    Sampling and sampling operations will need to be based on existing standards or guides, which means to date compliance with:
    ― the NF EN ISO 5667-3 "Water Quality ― Sampling ― Part 3: Guidelines for the Conservation and Handling of Water Samples";
    ― the guide FD T 90-523-2 "Water Quality ― Guide for Water Quality Monitoring in the Environment ― Residual water removal."
    The essential points of these technical repositories are detailed below with respect to general sampling conditions, continuous flow measurement, 24-hour continuous sampling at controlled temperature, sampling and white sampling.


    2.1. Sample operators


    The sampling operations may be carried out on the site by:
    - the analytical provider;
    ― the subcontractor selected by the analysis provider;
    the operator himself or his subcontractor.
    In the event that the operator or subcontractor performs the sampling, it is imperative that it have procedures to demonstrate the reliability and reproducibility of its sampling and flow measurement practices. These procedures must incorporate the detailed points in paragraphs 2.2 to 2.6 below and demonstrate that the traceability of these operations is ensured.


    2.2. General conditions of sampling


    The sample volume shall be representative of the facility's flow and in accordance with the quantities required to perform the accreditation analyses.
    In the event of an operator's or subcontractor's intervention for sampling, the number, unit volume, flaconnage, possible preservation and identification of samples will be mandatoryly defined by the analysis provider and communicated to the breeder. The analysis laboratory will provide the flaconnages (see additional bottles for the whites in the sampling system).
    The samples will be distributed in the various bottles supplied by the laboratory according to the requirements of the official methods in force, specific to the substances to be analysed and/or the NF EN ISO 5667-3 (1). The samples sent to the laboratory in a bottle of another source must be refused by the laboratory.
    The sample must be sent to be received by the analysis laboratory no later than 24 hours after the completion of the sample, under penalty of refusal by the laboratory.

    (1) The NF EN ISO 5667-3 is a good practice guide. When differences exist between NF EN ISO 5667-3 and the analytical standard specific to the substance, it is always the requirements of the analytical standard that prevail.



    2.3. Continuous flow measurement


    The flow measurement shall be carried out continuously over a 24-hour time period, in accordance with existing standards in the FDT-90-523-2 and the technical requirements of the measuring systems manufacturers.
    In order to ensure the quality of operation of these measurement systems, periodic metrological controls must be carried out by accredited bodies, resulting in:
    For free surface drainage systems:
    – a control of the conformity of the measuring organ (seuil, jagger channel, venturi, spill...) with respect to the normative requirements and manufacturers;
    ― a flow meter operation control in place by a comparative measurement using another flow meter.
    For flow systems:
    - a control of the conformity of the installation with respect to the normative requirements and manufacturers;
    ― a comparative measurement flow meter operation check on site (other flow meter, gauge...) or an audit conducted on a measuring bench in an accredited laboratory.
    Metrological control will take place before the start of the first measurement campaign, or on the occasion of the first measure, before being renewed at an annual rate.


    2.4. 24-hour continuous removal
    temperature controlled


    This type of sampling requires specific material to form a weighted sample according to the flow.
    Materials allowing the production of automated sampling according to the flow or the volume elapsed are:
    - either fixed or portable monoflacon samplers, forming a single average sample over the reporting period;
    - either fixed or portable multi-layer samplers, comprising several samples (generally 4, 6, 12 or 24) during the reporting period. If this type of sampler is implemented, the samples will need to be homogenized to form the medium sample before transfer to the test bottles.
    The samplers used shall refrigerate the samples throughout the reporting period.
    In the event that a proportional sampling of the discharge of the effluent is not possible, the pre-harvester will use a time-bound sampling, or one-time sampling if the nature of the releases warrants it (e.g. homogeneous releases in batches). In this case, the flow rate and its evolution will be estimated by the breeder according to the information collected on site (water meters, water balances, etc.). The breeder will need to specify the sampling methodology implemented during the return.
    Metrological control of the sampling device shall be carried out periodically on the following points (recommendations of the guide FD T 90-523-2):
    - accuracy and repeatability of the volume taken (minimum volume: 50 ml, tolerated difference between theoretical and actual volume 5%);
    ∙ effluent speed in pipes greater than or equal to 0.5 m/s.
    A check of the materials and organs of the sampler will be required (see white sampling system).
    The positioning of the effluent outlet shall be as follows:
    - in a turbulent area;
    ― mid-height of the water column;
    – at a sufficient distance from the walls to avoid contamination of the samples by the deposits or biofilms that develop therein.


    2.5. Sample


    The representativeness of the sample is difficult to obtain in the case of the splitting of certain waste water due to its high heterogeneity, high levels of GHG or floating material. A homogenization system may be used in these cases. He won't have to change the sample.
    The packaging of the samples shall be carried out in containers conforming to the official methods in force, specific to the substances to be analysed and/or the NF EN ISO 5667-31 standard.
    The transport of samples to the laboratory shall be carried out in a room maintained at a temperature of 5 °C ± 3 °C and be completed within 24 hours of the completion of the sampling to ensure the integrity of the samples.
    The temperature of the enclosure or samples will be checked upon arrival at the laboratory and indicated in the report on the analyses.


    2.6. White sampling


    White of the sampling system:
    The white sampling system is intended to verify the absence of contamination related to materials (flacons, pipes) used or cross-contamination between successive samplings. It is the responsibility of the breeder to implement the provisions to demonstrate the absence of contamination. The transmission of the results is valid and the operator will therefore be deemed to be emitter of all substances found in its release, with the corresponding content. It will therefore be up to it to control this lack of contamination before transmission of results.
    If a white of the sampling system is performed, it is recommended that the following requirements be followed: it must be made mandatory for a minimum period of 3 hours. It can be carried out in a laboratory by circulating water free of micropollutants in the sampling system.
    The criteria for acceptance and consideration of white will be as follows:
    ― if white value < LQ: do not subtract the results of the white from the effluent sampling system;
    ― if white value ≥ LQ and less than the measurement uncertainty attached to the result: do not subtract the white results from the effluent sampling system
    ―if the value of the white ✱ the measurement uncertainty attached to the result: the presence of a contamination is proven, the laboratory will have to redo the sampling and analysis of the discharge considered.
    Atmosphere white:
    The production of an atmosphere white allows the analysis laboratory to ensure the reliability of the results obtained for volatile or airborne compounds and may provide explanatory data to the operator.
    Atmospheric white can be made at the operator's request in the event of suspected presence of volatile substances (BTEX, VOC, chlorobenzene, mercury...) on the sampling site.
    If implemented, it must be necessarily and systematically:
    the day of the removal of aqueous effluent;
    ― for a period of 24 hours or in any event, over a sampling period of the atmosphere white identical to the duration of the removal of the aqueous effluent. The methodology used is to leave a bottle of VOC-free water and metals exposed to ambient air at the place where the 24-hour sampling is carried out at the flow rate;
    The values of the atmosphere white will be mentioned in the analysis report and in no case subtracted from others.


    3. Analysis


    All analytical procedures shall be started if possible within 24 hours and in any event no later than 48 hours after the sampling is completed.
    All analyses must report the entire sample (gross effluent, including SMEs) in accordance with the provisions for the treatment of SMEs that are recovered below, except for polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
    In the case of metals, the requested analysis is a determination of the total metal concentration contained in the effluent (no filtration), obtained after digestion of the sample according to the applicable standards:
    ISO Standard 15587-1 "Water Quality ― Digestion for the determination of certain elements in water ― Part 1: Digestion in water regal" or
    ISO 15587-2 Standard "Water Quality ― Digestion for the determination of certain elements in water ― Part 2: Nitric acid digestion".
    For mercury, complete digestion without prior filtration is described in the analytical standards specific to this element.
    In the case of alkylphenols, it is requested to simultaneously search for nonylphenols, octylphenols and the first two ethoxylate counterparts (2) of nonylphenols (NP1OE and NP2 OE) and the first two ethoxylate counterparts (2) of octetylphenols (OP1OE and OP2 OE). The search for ethoxylates can be carried out without incremental costs in conjunction with that of nonylphenols and octylphenols using the draft ISO/DIS 18857-2 (3).
    Some of the usual monitoring parameters of the facility, namely DCO (oxygen chemical application) or COT (total organic carbon) based on the existing prefectural order, and MES (suspended equipment) will be systematically analyzed in each effluent according to the existing standards (see notes [4], [5], [6] and [7]) in order to verify the representativeness of the activity of the facility on the day
    Analytical performance for wastewater is shown in annex 5.2. They are derived from the use of quantification limits transmitted by the analysis providers as part of the SRDE action since 2005.
    Integrating GHGs:
    The laboratory must specify and describe in detail the methods used in the case of concentration in SSM 50 mg/L.
    For the parameters referred to in Appendix 5.1 (with the exception of DCO, COT and SEM), it is requested:
    • if 50 < MES < 250 mg/l: perform at least 3 liquid/liquid extractions on the raw sample without separation;
    ―if MES ≥ 250 mg/l: separately analyze the aqueous phase and the particulate phase after filtration or centrifugation of the raw sample, except for volatile compounds for which the treatment of the raw sample by filtration is to be prohibited. 3,4 dichlorobenzene, isopropylene, toluene, xylene, chloride
    The return for each loaded effluent (MES ≥ 250 mg/l) will be as follows: μg/l value obtained in the aqueous phase, μg/kg value obtained in the particulate phase and total value calculated in μg/l.
    The analysis of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) is not required in water and will be to be performed according to ISO 22032 only on GHGs as soon as their concentration is ≥50 mg/l. The amount of EMS to be collected for the analysis will have to achieve an equivalent LQ in the water of 0.05 μg/l for each BDE.
