WP3: Management, control technologies A comprehensive inventory of technical emission reduction options, including process-oriented options, substitution, and end-of-pipe techniques. Provide basis for an emission reduction strategy Based on traditional literature studies as well as information gathered from surveys and interviews with key stakeholders. Three workshops with industry have been performed in different parts of Europe to further collect information and receive comments on the draft reports

WP 4: Decision support system (DSS) Objective: to develop a DSS including supporting tools for management of PS in order to asses the effectiveness of various measures or combinations of measures, and to make the right selection of measures The DSS will primarily be developed for authorities to make plans for the control of the PS at both European and national or river basin level

Decision support system (DSS) The SOCOPSE Decision support system (DSS) Current: Step by step guidelines (handbook) for implementation of WFD on PPs Planned: Web based DSS + information handling (databases and reports)

Step 1 Problem definition

Step by step guidelines for implementation of WFD on PPs

.........Step 6 Select solution/ management options

Decision support system handbook Draft version used in case studies Available on www.socopse.eu (comments are welcome)

WP2: Material Flow Analysis General: The main objective of WP2 is to describe the main flow-paths and releases of selected Priority Substances (PSs) to European waters The information on flow-paths and releases of PSs is crucial for the development of the Decision Support System (DSS), the main product of the SOCOPSE project because it describes current state of contamination of European waters by various PSs SOCOPSe-wp2.ppt

Data sources The European Pollution Emission Register EPER (http://eper.eea.europa.eu/eper/) (e.g. TBT, PAH) 50 subst to 92 i PRTR (diffuse emissions, soils) EU technical guidance documents (TGD) EU risk assessment reports (http://ecb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/esis/) (e.g. PBDE, DEHP, NP)

Data sources Scientific papers Databases National products registers (e.g. Hg, HCB, PBDE) Databases "Air Database" (www.ivl.se) HSDB – Hazardous Substance Data Bank (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?HSDB) (e.g. PBDE) National products registers e.g. Swedish Chemical Agency (www.kemi.se) (e.g. TBT)

WP 5: Case studies Leader: IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute Objective: To evaluate the decision support tool by applying it to 5 case studies in different geographical regions and to integrate results and experiences to European scale

Case study areas The five case studies which represent different geographical regions of Europe as well as different scales The five cases have different characteristics in terms of pollution sources and degree of contamination of priority substances.

Case studies -substances Vantaa River, Finland: PBDE, Nonylphenol, DEHP, PAH, TBT (TPhT) Kłodnica River, Poland: Mercury, Cadmium, PAH Meuse, NL, Fr, Lu, Be, D: PBDE, Hg, Cd, PAH, Pesticides Ter and Llobregat Rivers, Spain: PBDE, Nonylphenol, Pesticides Danube river, Vah subcatchment: PAH, Hg, Cd, NP, DEHP, TBT

Plans for final year Complete case studies (early 2009) Based on results: - Update emissions database - Update reports on control options - Finalise DSS handbook Synthesis (first half of 2009). Aim to provide guidelines for implementation of the WFD on Water District and European scale Final conference/workshop: June 23-24, 2009

Final products of SOCOPSE Substance Flow Analysis (SFA). Report on main flowpaths and emissions of the selected substances in Europe. Draft version used in case studies to identify sources. Will be updated spring 2009. Database for identification on potential sources, emission factors (if available) Substance reports. Compilations of methods (efficiency, cost) to reduce releases of PS (including end of pipe, substitution etc). Emission reduction strategy report. Report where management options are ranked for different PPs and sources, based on efficiency and cost.

Final products of SOCOPSE Decision support system (DSS). Report (handbook) with stepwise procedures to fulfil WFD requirements for River Basin Management Plans. Brief report + appendices. Final draft available. Web based DSS. A web version of the DSS will be available towards the end of the project.

Final products of SOCOPSE Case study reports. 1 report for each case study with all steps taken in applying the DSS, evaluation of DSS, problems encountered and solutions found. Also how to use SFA, Substance reports etc.

Final products of SOCOPSE Synthesis report. Very short summary of results. Synthesis of experiences from case studies + implications for WFD and other policies on PPs. Aimed at several levels i.e. WFD managers and european policy-makers. Recommendations for future develelopment of the WFD, common topics for WFD, REACH, IPCC etc.

Synthesis report topics General lack of monitoring data to assess water quality: Combination of SFA and models can be used to identify potential sources, pathways, concentration ranges and suitable monitoring sites.

Synthesis report topics PS not always a priority, all data < EQS or lack of data (no awareness of problem?) Emerging substances will be a problem? The DSS can be used for emerging substances.

Synthesis report topics Diffuse sources important in many locations - Atmospheric deposition - Contaminated sites - Agriculture - Households and small industries: waste water (more or less treatment) For a long term view on PS and chemicals in general, a broad perspective is needed. Also links to other policies. Non technical measures, socio-economic perspective on use of chemicals in products, industry, households.

Synthesis topics Science-policy interface problem. Data, models, experience available but not used in RBMPs. Institutional structure – WFD is a new structure

Meetings, dissemination etc WG E meeting, March 18-19, Brussels. Presentation of results, preliminary synthesis SETAC conference Gothenburg June 1-4. Joint session with ScorePP SOCOPSE conference. Maastricht June 24-25. First announcement + draft agenda available.
