Division Description
United Kingdom
Monitoring includes direct measurements, calculation or recording, e.g. using suitable meters or invoices. The monitoring is broken down at the most appropriate level (e.g. at process or plant/installation level) and considers any significant changes in the plant/installation.
Notes on Division 1.2
Footnotes
- f1
-
Monitoring frequencies may be reduced if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable.
- f2
-
In the case of batch discharge less frequent than the minimum monitoring frequency, monitoring is carried out once per batch.
- f3
-
The monitoring only applies when the substance concerned is identified as relevant in the waste water inventory mentioned in BAT 3.
- f4
-
In the case of an indirect discharge to a receiving water body, the monitoring frequency may be reduced if the downstream waste water treatment plant abates the pollutants concerned.
- f5
-
Either TOC or COD is monitored. TOC is the preferred option, because its monitoring does not rely on the use of very toxic compounds.
- f6
-
The monitoring applies only in the case of a direct discharge to a receiving water body.
- f7
-
Monitoring frequencies may be reduced if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable.
- f8
-
The monitoring only applies when the substance concerned is identified as relevant in the waste gas stream based on the inventory mentioned in BAT 3.
- f9
-
Instead of EN 1948-1, sampling may also be carried out according to CEN/TS 1948-5.
- f10
-
The odour concentration may be monitored instead.
- f11
-
The monitoring of NH3 and H2S can be used as an alternative to the monitoring of the odour concentration.
- f12
-
The monitoring only applies when solvent is used for cleaning the contaminated equipment.
