MODULE 1 Water Framework Directive, Relation of WFD with Daughter Directives, River Basin Management Planning, Water Bodies, Typology, Classification Nitrates Directive R. Michael Jackman Antalya December, 2014

Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) Objective  Reducing water pollution caused or induced by nitrates from agricultural sources.  Preventing further such pollution. Scope  Waters affected by pollution and waters which could be affected must be identified  Following the notification designate as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZ) all known areas of land in their territories

Code of Good Agricultural Practice (COGAP)  Must provide (COGAP) to protect all waters  against pollution- Link to WFD  Must establish the COGAP within a two-year period  To be implemented by farmers on a voluntary basis, containing: Training Programmes  Must submit training and information for farmers, promoting the application of COGAP

Monitoring Surface Waters In designating and revising the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones  Must monitor the nitrate concentration in freshwaters over a period of one year at surface water sampling stations, which are representative and should be located just prior to the surface water treatment works abstraction site  Sampled monthly and more frequently during flood periods; Ground Waters  Monitored at sampling stations which are representative of the groundwater aquifers, at regular intervals and taking into account the provisions of Directive 80/778/EEC (Previous Drinking Water Directive)

CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING WATERS Surface Freshwaters  Surface freshwaters, in particular those used or intended for the abstraction of drinking water, contain or could possibly contain, more than the concentration of nitrates laid down in accordance with Surface Water Abstraction Directive now superceded by WFD. Groundwaters  Groundwaters that could contain more than 50 mg/l nitrates as NO3. Other Water Bodies  Natural freshwater lakes, other freshwater bodies, estuaries,  Coastal waters and marine waters are found to be eutrophic or possibly in the future.

CRITERIA In applying these criteria, must take account of: 1.Physical and environmental characteristics of the waters and land; 2. Behaviour of nitrogen compounds in the environment (water and soil); 3. The impact of the action programmes.

Action Plans  Within a two-year period following the initial designation of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NCZ) must establish Action Programmes  Must take into account: (a) Available scientific and technical data with reference to nitrogen contributions originating from agricultural and other sources; & (b) Relevant environmental conditions –linked to WFD

Action Plans Action programmes must be implemented within four years of Which includes: (a) the measures in Directive Annex III (b) those measures which Member States have prescribed in the code(s) of good agricultural practice

CODE(S) OF GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE (COGAP) With objective of reducing pollution by nitrates by 1. Periods when the land application of fertilizer is inappropriate; 2. Land application of fertilizer to steeply sloping ground; 3. Land application of fertilizer to water-saturated, flooded, frozen or snow-covered ground; 4. Conditions for land application of fertilizer near water courses;

CODE(S) OF GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE 5. Capacity and construction of storage vessels for livestock manures, including measures to prevent water pollution by run-off and seepage into the groundwater and surface water of liquids containing livestock manures and effluents from stored plant materials such as silage. 6. Procedures for the land application, including rate and uniformity of spreading, of both chemical fertilizer and livestock manure, that will maintain nutrient losses to water at an acceptable level.

CODE(S) OF GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE May also include 7. Land- use management, including the use of crop rotation systems and the proportion of the land area devoted to permanent crops relative to annual tillage crops. 8. Maintenance of a minimum quantity of vegetation cover during (rainy) periods that will take up the nitrogen from the soil that could cause nitrate pollution of water. 9. Establishment of fertilizer plans on a farm-by-farm basis and keeping of records on fertilizer use. 10. Prevention of water pollution from run-off and the downward water movement beyond the reach of crop roots in irrigation systems

Future Monitoring  Repeat the monitoring programme at least every four years.  Except for those sampling stations where the nitrate concentration in all previous samples has been below 25 mg/l and no new factors likely to increase the nitrogen content has appeared, Then monitoring programme repeated only every eight years;  Review the eutrophic state of their fresh surface waters, estuarial and coastal waters every four years

Annex III-MEASURES TO BE INCLUDED IN ACTION PROGRAMMES 1.Periods when the land application of certain types of fertilizer is prohibited. 2. Capacity of storage vessels for livestock manure; this capacity must exceed that required for storage throughout the longest period during which land application in the vulnerable zone is prohibited. 3. limitation of the land application of fertilizers, consistent with good agricultural practice and taking into account the characteristics of the vulnerable zone concerned, in particular: (a) soil conditions, soil type and slope; (b) climatic conditions, rainfall and irrigation;

Effectiveness If it becomes apparent that the measures will not be sufficient for achieving the objectives whilst implementing the action programmes additional measures may be taken  In selecting these measures or actions, Member States shall take into account their effectiveness.  In selecting these measures, the countries must take into account their effectiveness and their cost relative to other possible preventive measures.  Must draw up and implement suitable monitoring programmes to assess the effectiveness of these additional action programmes  Must review and if necessary revise their action programmes, 5, at least every four years.

MEASURES TO BE INCLUDED IN ACTION PROGRAMMES (c) land use and agricultural practices, including crop rotation systems; and to be based on a balance between: (i) foreseeable nitrogen requirements of the crops,and (ii) the nitrogen supply to the crops from the soil and from fertilization corresponding to: the amount of nitrogen present in the soil at the moment when the crop starts to use it the supply of nitrogen through the net mineralization of the reserves of organic nitrogen in the soil, additions of nitrogen compounds from livestock manure, additions of nitrogen compounds from chemical and other fertilizers.

MEASURES IN ACTION PROGRAMMES These measures will ensure that, for each farm or livestock unit, the amount of livestock manure applied to the land each year, including by the animals themselves, shall not exceed a specified amount per hectare. containing 170 kg Nitrogen. May calculate the amounts on the basis of animal number

MEASURES IN ACTION PROGRAMMES However:  The amount N per hectare for the first four year action programme countries may allow an amount of manure containing up to 210 kg N.  During and after the first four-year action programme, Member States may fix different amounts but must be fixed so as not to transgress the Directive and must be justified on the basis of special criteria, for example:  long growing seasons,  crops with high nitrogen uptake,  high net precipitation in the vulnerable zone,  soils with exceptionally highd enitrification capacity

REFERENCE METHODS OF MEASUREMENT Chemical fertilizer Nitrogen compounds shall be measured using the method described in Commission Directive 77/535/EEC of 22 June 1977 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to methods of sampling and analysis for fertilizers by Directive 89/519/EEC (2).& EU REGULATION (EC) No 2003/2003. Freshwaters, coastal waters and marine waters Nitrate concentration shall be measured in accordance with the WFD

. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REPORTS 1.A statement of the preventive action taken. 2. A map showing the following: (a) Waters identified in accordance with Article 3 (1) and Annex I indicating for each water which of the criteria was used for the purpose of identification; (b) Location of the designed vulnerable zones, distinguishing between existing zones and zones designated since the previous report. 3. A summary of the monitoring results including a statement of the considerations for the designation of each vulnerable zone and to any revision of or addition to designations of vulnerable zones.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REPORTS A summary of the action programmes drawn up, in particular: (a) the measures required (b) the COGAP (c) any additional measures or reinforced actions taken (d) a summary of the results of the monitoring programmes (e) the assumptions made about the likely timescale within which the waters especially in NVZ identified are expected to respond to the measure in the action programme, along with an indication of the level of uncertainty of these assumptions

Transboundary Issues  Any waters identified by a Member State draining directly or indirectly into other countries them, the affected country may notify this polluting Member State and the EU of the relevant facts.  Organize, where appropriate with the Commission, the concertatio to identify the sources in question &  Measures to be taken to protect the waters that are affected to ensure conformity with the Directive

The use of organic and synthetic nitrates have been used for centuries to fertilise the farmland and has significantly increased crop yields but overuse can poison the water. So we need to control it now before it is too late. Thank you for your attention
