# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1032 of 13 June 2016 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the non-ferrous metals industries (notified under document C(2016) 3563) (Text with EEA relevance), Division: BAT-associated emission levels

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for direct emissions to a receiving water body from the production of copper, lead, tin, zinc, cadmium, precious metals, nickel, cobalt and ferro-alloys are given in Table 2.
These BAT-AELs apply at the point where the emission leaves the installation.
Table 2
BAT-associated emission levels for direct emissions to a receiving water body from the production of copper, lead, tin, zinc (including the waste water from the washing stage in the Waelz kiln process), cadmium, precious metals, nickel, cobalt and ferro-alloys
In the case of a high arsenic content in the total input of the plant, the BAT-AEL may be up to 0,2 mg/l.
