Removed:ANNEX II

Removed:MONITORING

Removed:PART A

Removed:General objectives and monitoring programmes for water intended for human consumption

Removed:1. Monitoring programmes established pursuant to Article 11(2) for water intended for human consumption shall:

Removed:(a) verify that the measures in place to control risks to human health throughout the water supply chain from the abstraction area through treatment and storage to distribution are working effectively and that water at the point of compliance is wholesome and clean;

Removed:(b) provide information on the quality of the water supplied for human consumption to demonstrate that the obligations set out in Article 4 and the parametric values set in accordance with Article 5 are being met;

Removed:(c) identify the most appropriate means of mitigating the risk to human health.

Removed:2. Monitoring programmes established pursuant to Article 11(2) shall include one of the following:

Removed:(a) collection and analysis of discrete water samples;

Removed:(b) measurements recorded by a continuous monitoring process.

Removed:Monitoring programmes shall also include an operational monitoring programme complementary to verification monitoring, providing rapid insight in operational performance and water quality problems, and allowing rapid pre-planned remedial action. Such operational monitoring programmes shall be supply-specific, taking into account the outcomes of the hazard and supply risk assessments, and intended to confirm the effectiveness of all control measures in abstraction, treatment, distribution and storage. The operational monitoring programme shall include the monitoring of the parameter turbidity to regularly control the efficacy of physical removal by filtration processes, in accordance with the parametric values and frequencies indicated in the following table:

Removed:In addition, monitoring programmes may consist of:

Removed:(a) inspections of records of the functionality and maintenance status of equipment;

Removed:(b) inspections of the abstraction area, and of the treatment, storage and distribution infrastructure without prejudice to monitoring requirements provided under Article 8(1)(c) and Article 10(1)(b).

Removed:3. Member States shall ensure that monitoring programmes are reviewed on a continuous basis and updated or reconfirmed at least every 6 years.

Removed:PART B

Removed:Core parameters and sampling frequencies

Removed:1. Core parameters

Removed:Escherichia coli (E. coli), Clostridium perfringens spores, and somatic coliphages enterococci are considered 'core parameters' and may not be subject to a supply risk assessment in accordance with part C of this Annex. They shall always be monitored at the frequencies set out in Table 1 of point 2. [Am. 142]

Removed:2. Sampling frequencies

Removed:All parameters set in accordance with Article 5 shall be monitored at least at the frequencies set out in the following Table, unless a different sampling frequency is determined on the basis of a supply risk assessment carried out in accordance with Article 9 and part C of this Annex:

Removed:> 100 000

Removed:12

Removed:+ 1

Removed:for each 25 000 m3/day and part thereof of the total volume

Removed:a: all samples are to be taken during times when the risk of treatment breakthrough of enteric pathogens is high.

Removed:b: at least 10 samples are to be taken during times when the risk of treatment breakthrough of enteric pathogens is high.

Removed:Note 1: A supply zone is a geographically defined area within which water intended for human consumption comes from one or more sources and water quality may be considered as being approximately uniform.

Removed:Note 2: The volumes are calculated as averages taken over a calendar year. The number of inhabitants in a supply zone may be used instead of the volume of water to determine the minimum frequency, assuming water consumption of 200 l/(day*capita).

Removed:Note 3: The frequency indicated is calculated as follows: e.g. 4 300 m3/day = 16 samples (four for the first 1 000 m3/day + 12 for additional 3 300 m3/day).

Removed:Note 4: Member States that have decided to exempt individual supplies under Article 3(2)(b) of this Directive shall apply these frequencies only for supply zones that distribute between 10 and 100 m3 per day. [Am. 186]

Removed:PART C

Removed:Supply risk assessment

Removed:1. The supply risk assessment referred to in Article 9 shall be based on the general principles of risk assessment set out in international standards such as standard EN 15975-2 concerning ‘security of drinking water supply, guidelines for risk and crisis management’.

Removed:2. Following a supply risk assessment, the list of parameters considered in the monitoring shall be extended and the sampling frequencies set out in Part B increased, where any of the following conditions is fulfilled:

Removed:(a) the list of parameters or frequencies set out in this Annex is not sufficient to fulfil the obligations imposed under Article 11(1);

Removed:(b) additional monitoring is required for the purposes of Article 11(6);

Removed:(c) it is necessary to provide the assurances set out in point (1)(a) of Part A;

Removed:(d) increasing the sampling frequencies is necessary pursuant to Article 8(3)(a).

Removed:3. Following a supply risk assessment, the list of parameters considered in the monitoring and the sampling frequencies set out in Part B may be reduced provided all of the following conditions are met:

Removed:(a) the location and frequency of sampling is determined in relation to the parameter's origin, as well as the variability and long-term trend of its concentration, taking into account Article 6;

Removed:(b) for reducing the minimum sampling frequency of a parameter the results obtained from samples collected at regular intervals over a period of at least 3 years from sampling points representative of the whole supply zone are all less than 60 % of the parametric value;
