1. Tasks of Drafting Group III
1 Definition of point sources
2 How to derive restoration targets or quality standards?
3 What could be regulated in the Daughter Directive?
5 First estimation of costs and cost efficiency

2. Restoration target values?
Landesumweltamt
Point Source
Emission limit values?
Restoration target values?
Environmental quality standards for surface waters?
Quality standards?
WRRL aus Richtlinienentwurf zur ökologischen Gewässerqualität hervorgegangen.
Erster Entwurf im Jahr 1997 vorgelegt
Beschluss im Rat am , nur Dänemark enthielt sich der Stimme
Obwohl gerade erst in Kraft getreten, befasst sich die LAWA schon seit einiger Zeit in zahlreichen Arbeitsgruppen intensiv mit der Thematik.

3. ! Definition of point sources Point source:
An identifiable and localised area, structure or facility which can cause pollution of groundwater
(e. g. contaminated sites) !
New landfills and technical installations should only be considered as point sources if they actually cause groundwater pollution

4. Restoration target values
A Europe-wide set of restoration target values for point sources (e. g. contaminated sites) is not appropriate:
Different geological and hydrogeological conditions
Individual pollution pattern for every point source
Technical feasibility
etc

5. Quality standards Pro quality standards
Comparability between Member States (according to surface waters quality standards)
Common standards for EU and common level of groundwater protection
Contra quality standards
Quality standards could become restoration target values
Natural concentrations could exceed quality standards
Importing standards from other directives does not fit for the purpose of groundwater protection

6. Point source pollution of groundwater bodies
body

7. First estimation of costs (Million €)

8. Tiered approach (subsidiarity) Regional-local level
Measurements
Tiered approach (subsidiarity)
Regional-local level
Assessment of points sources (vs groundwater)
Inventorisation of potential point sources
concept for prevention of contamination
assessment strategy for point sources (focus groundwater
and receptors

9. Measurements (2) Management concept for point sources
historical-new contamination
risk-based approach
BAT
don’t accept expanding plumes (within limited time frame)

10. Assessment of risks (vs GWB or sub-GWB)
Measurements (3)
EU-level + reporting
Assessment of risks (vs GWB or sub-GWB)
define “risk-zones” (vulnerability, land-use, …)
implement monitoring (and reporting) system
assessment strategy for risk zones (focus groundwater
and receptors

11. Measurements (4) Management concept for risk zones
historical-new contamination
risk-based approach
BAT
don’t accept expanding plumes (within limited time frame)

12. Parameters? A EU-wide parameter list of substances for EU-relevant
monitoring is desirable, EU-wide values are not required
values will come out of site-specific risk assessment
