Paragraph 1 Location of monitoring point
(1)
Subject to sub-paragraph (3), where SEPA take samples in compliance with this Part they must do so from the monitoring point situated at each bathing water.
(2)
SEPA must–
(a)
locate the monitoring point at every bathing water where most bathers are expected: and,
(b)
where possible, take samples 30 centimetres below the water's surface and in water that is at least one metre deep.

Where for whatever reason the taking of samples from the monitoring point is not possible or would pose a danger to any person, SEPA must take samples from the next best site where it is possible to take samples in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(b) and it is safe to do so.
