  1. Reporting sheet no.4Emissions of pollutants Peter Kristensen, EEA Joint Eionet NRC Freshwater and Drafting group State of the Environment and Trends meeting (7th Meeting) 3 October 2007, Copenhagen

  3. Information used by other organisations Eurostat/ OECD Joint Q. Emissions at country level Emission information in WISE UWWT E-EPRT E-EPTR Reporting By instalation Reporting sheet Point and diffuse source emissions Aggregated by RBD National montoring and characteri-zation WFD Art. 5 & 2010 SoE reporting - Trend in emission - Source apportion- ment - Indicators International emission inventories Rhine; Danube HELCOM; MED-POL UWWT Directive Reporting By agglome-ration European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER); European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (European PRTR); Urban Waste Water Treatment (UWWT)

  4. EEA is exploring the possibility of using information from other reporting such as reporting in relation to the UWWT Directive and EPER/E-EPTR to avoid duplication of reporting by Member States. However, there may be some quality assurance benefits from the countries/RBD authorities doing the emission aggregation at the RBD or WFD sub-unit; instead of aggregation by EEA. Avoid duplication of reporting

  5. Country comments (June/July 2007) (1) • Comments received from five countries (NL; DK; SE; HU & AT/UWWTD consultant) and Eurostat plus comments received during June meeting • Definition of “significant point and diffuse sources“ - footnote added • Significant point sources – all sources reported under UWWT and IPPC Directive plus additional smaller sources contributed significantly to pressure of individual water bodies • Significant diffuse sources – all sources contributed significantly to pressure of RBD or individual water bodies

  6. Country comments (June/July 2007) (2) • Some of the proposed substances (e.g. TSS or diffuse loads of hazardous substances) are not measured by the specific country and the level of detail at sources is not available • Data can only be reported if available. • In the first years of reporting the methodologies used may be heterogeneous. This has to be taken into account when comparing results. • The WFD implementation will lead to harmonization of the methodologies such as learning by good practices. • Errors (e.g. Double counting of industry) and inconsistencies have been corrected • Catchment level changed to WFD sub-unit

  7. Proposal: Test data exchange of emission data during 2008 • It is recognised that some information may not be available in the first years of reporting in the level of detail ideally required. • Need for coordination with UWWTD and E-EPRT reporting Test data exchange of emission data during 2008 • January/February: Based on the reporting sheet EEA prepares reporting format (data dictionary and table) for a test data exchange via Reportnet • March/April: reporting of available information aggregated to RBD level – test scheme; no evaluation of performance. • May: EEA analyse the reported information and prepares a background document on data availability and possibilities of streamlining reporting • June: Joint Eionet/SoE Group meeting (emission experts) with experts from UWWTD and E-EPTR to discuss the reporting in relation to emissions • 2009: Regular reporting of emission data according to the agreed structure

  8. Reporting sheet no.4 Emissions • What should be reported? • Why is it needed? • How should it be reported? • Data& Determinants • Aggregation of data • Aggregation by source categories • Data description

  9. Reporting sheet 4: Emissions (1) What should be reported? • Total loads of each identified pollutants emitted from significant point and diffuse sources at River Basin Districts (RBD) level. Why is it needed? • The information reported will be used to formulate indicators of emissions that will be used in the assessment of pressures and states of Europe’s waters and trends to monitor progress with European policy objectives. • Indicators may present: • Time series of the annual values of the selected emissions aggregated at a country or regional level and at the source category level (e.g. urban, industry, agriculture). Are emission increasing or decreasing? • Apportionment of emissions by source or by determinand within each country or RBD.

  10. Reporting sheet 4: Emissions (2) How should it be reported? – Data & Determinands • The annual load estimates (tonnes/year) of the pollutants from significant point sources and diffuse sources aggregated at RBD level • Organic load (as TOC, BOD, COD and TSS (if available)); • Nitrogen (as N-NH4+, N-NO3- and total N); • Phosphorus (total P); • Priority Substances (33 substances identified in Decision 2455/2001/EC); • Other significant pollutants (especially those listed in Annex VIII of the WFD).

  11. Reporting sheet 4: Emissions (3) Aggregation of data Spatial aggregation • Pollutants emitted and aggregated at the RBD level are required. • If more detailed information is available at administrative areas such as regions or provinces; sub-unit or water body level this information is appreciated. Temporal aggregation • Time series of annual totals of loads of all pollutants in tonnes per year. For as many years as possible.

  12. Reporting sheet 4: Emissions (5) Aggregation by source categories • The load estimates should be reported from each of the following sources where appropriate. a) Point sources • Loads from Urban Waste Water Treatment (UWWT) plants. If possible the reporting may be split by agglomerations in the following categories divided in according to the number of population equivalent (p.e.) (Categories from the UWWT Directive). • p.e. < 2000 • 2000  p.e.  10 000 • 10 000 < p.e.  100 000 • p.e. > 100 000 • Loads from industrial point sources, direct (IPPC installations and non IPPC installations ); • Other point sources (e.g. fish farms, large animal units, mining, peat production) b) Diffuse sources, emissions from • Agriculture • Atmospheric deposition • Scattered dwellings • Background • Other diffuse sources
