9. N measures in Seine – Normandie : agric. Pollution
To reduce runoff or erosion :
==co financing global study or technical assistance : 50 to 80 %
==(in specific, planned areas) : building pit, grassy slopes, buffer pools : 60 % co financing
Agri environmental & climatical measures : within the Agency Programme (SDAGE) : co financing buying equipment, compensate change in agricultural practice… may top to 100 % (incl EAFRD)

12. Pomacle : spreading of sugar mill waste*
Water Agency finances investments :
== preliminary studies (50 % subvention)
== planting very short rotation coppice, reeds,(loan 20 %, subv %)
==building storage tanks ( « « )

14. Phosphate measures in F/ agriculture
Agric. PO4 is a problem mainly in Bretagne, pig & poultry breeding region ; acid soils rich in P ; erosion risk to superficial waters ( eutrophication in sea costal areas)
BUT :
== fertilisation better adjusted since 40 years (€)
== better feeding >>> manure less phosphatised
== Water agency Loire Bretagne : goal : equilibrate P-fertilisation in 21 watersheds at new breeding farms level, & at spreading level (« no over-fertilisation ») : regulatory prior approval (SDAGE)
