First measurements and operational monitoring of waste water

Applicants who wish to pursue this activity must register the business activity, and have the appropriate legal status.

An authorisation is required for performing operational monitoring of waste waters.

The provider of operational monitoring acquires an authorisation based on the application submitted at the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning. After an administrative and content review, the authorisation to perform operational monitoring of waste waters is issued.

The application for the acquisition of the authorisation to perform operational monitoring of waste waters must contain data on the applicant and the indication of procedures and parameters within the scope of first measurements or operational monitoring.

After the acquisition of the authorisation, the provider of operational monitoring is entered in the register of monitoring providers. The authorisation is issued for a maximum six years.

The authorisation for performing operational monitoring of waste waters can be issued if technical conditions are fulfilled.

Details

An authorised provider of operational monitoring must produce a report on the initial measurements for the implemented initial measurements except for small municipal sewage treatment plants with a capacity of less than 50 PE.

For each measurement site separately, the report on implemented measurements shows the following data on:

• the emissions of substances and calculation of the annual quantity of waste water,
• the calculation of the emission factor or the impact of the waste water treatment for each parameter if a limit is prescribed for the emission factor or the effect of waste water,
• the calculation of the annual sum of units of the environmental impact of waste water discharge in the case of the device from which industrial waste water is discharged.

The liable person must submit the report on initial measurements in electronic form to the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning within 30 days after the implemented measurements.

Evidence

Report on implemented initial measurements

Legal basis

• Rules on initial measurements and operational monitoring of wastewater
• Environmental Protection Act (ZVO-2)

For implemented periodic or continuous measurements, the authorised provider of operational monitoring must produce a report on implemented periodic or continuous measurements for each year.

For each measurement site separately, the report on implemented measurements shows the following data on:

• the emissions of substances and calculation of the annual quantity of waste water;
• the calculation of the emission factor or the impact of the waste water treatment for each parameter if a limit is prescribed for the emission factor or the effect of waste water;
• the calculation of the annual sum of units of the environmental impact of waste water discharge in the case of the device from which industrial waste water is discharged.

The liable person must submit the report on periodic or continuous measurements in electronic form until 31st March each year for the previous year except for:

• municipal and common waste water treatment plants until 31st January of the following year and
• for small municipal waste water treatment plants with a capacity of less than 50 PE an evaluation of the operation is prepared.
