  3. London meeting 11st december 2008 Starting point • Compliance with best available techniques (BAT) is a prerequisite for the designation of mixing zones. • Therefore the guidance document should firstly include instructions for the usage of emission controls to comply with BAT (e.g. with reference to BREF notes). • Agree with German add to Chapter 3.0. About compliance with BAT.

  4. London meeting 11st december 2008 Programmes of Measures and Pollution control

  5. London meeting 11st december 2008 Discharge characteristics Discharge: • Discharge flow: Average over 24 hours or 2 hours ? • Effluent parameters (value for effluent concentration and flow : mean, maximum values) River: • Average of the minimum river flows over 5 years ? • River parameters (seasonal variability : flow/depth/width) Mixing zone: • Mixing zone acceptability (why 10% ?) • Check point – boundary of the mixing zone. • EQS-MAC mixing zone (maximum dimension) ? Special areas: • Protected areas of annex IV WFD (no mixing zone). • Problematic of drink waters taking (outside of a mixing zone) • Harbour, coastal waters

  6. London meeting 11st december 2008 Design and construction of outfalls Mixing zone design optimisation: • BAT application • Outlet diameter • Diffusers configuration • Position of the port • Port orientation

  7. London meeting 11st december 2008 Conclusion • Strategies for mixing zones reduction • To define a calendar for the progressive reduction of the maximum dimension of each mixing zone : River width / Years • To define a calendar for the reduction of the maximum mixing zone coverage of a waterbody : % / Years Other alternative : • Link with reducing some substances emissions in industrial process : % ELV / Years.
