Enhancing Emission Controls for Environmental Protection: Framework for Developing Measures

This concept paper outlines steps to develop emission control measures in compliance with Water Framework Directive (WFD) requirements. It covers inventorying pollution sources, identifying control measures, setting priorities, and selecting measures based on source types. Major and minor pollution sources are classified with control options including the WFD Daughter Directive and existing EU legislation. The paper emphasizes stakeholder actions and potential areas for regulatory focus. The process involves screening sources, assessing risks, and aligning with EU directives and strategies. The document aims to streamline emission control efforts and enhance environmental protection.

  1. Concept paper on emission controls (doc EAF(5)-06-01) Introduction – WFD requirements Steps to be taken to develop measures

  2. Steps to develop measures • inventory of all sources that result in releases – source screening (cf chapter 3 and document EAF 5-06-02) • Generic identification of possible control measures (chapter 4 and annex 3) • Criteria for setting priorities (chapter 5) • Choice for control measures for single substances (chapter 6)

  4. Summary of sources S1: Atmospheric deposition S2: Drainage S3: agriculture S4: transport S5: Accidental spills S6: materials/constructions non urban area S7: Run off paved urban area S8: households, consumer use S9: industry (IPPC and SME) S10: Solid waste treatment S11: Historical pollution

  5. Source screening Based on • Haskoning fact sheets • 76/464 review • Risk assessment studies • OSPAR background documents • Other material/expert judgement

  6. Source screening results (document EAF (5)-06-02) • Major sources • Minor sources • Negligible Next step • To add appropriate measures (i.e. completion of table 1 in chapter 6 of the concept paper)

  7. Control options • WFD Daughter Directive (on emission controls) • Use of other existing EU instruments (directives, strategies, policies) • Actions by Member States

  8. WFD Daughter Directive May focus on: • review of the Daughter Directives under Directive 76/464; • Emission Limit values and BAT for industrial sectors in relation to discharges to water; • Best environmental practice for the use of plant protection products; • Storm water overflows and management of street run off

  9. Existing relevant EU legislation • The Integrated Pollution Prevention Control • Marketing and Use of products/substances, the new REACH system • Plant Protection Products, Biocides • Emissions to air • Urban Waste-water, Sewage Sludge • Waste • Accidental pollution • Import of goods from outside EU

  10. Control options per source First indications in annex 3 of the concept paper

  11. Next steps • Comments / updating results source screening • Comments on control options (annex 3) • Merging results source screening with possible control options • ……………
