Note that the indicators and calculations related to wastewater should refer to the agglomerations, not to municipalities, as an agglomeration may include several administrative municipalities or one municipality could be divided into several agglomerations. When an agglomeration is only partially covered by a project, i.e., there is still part of the load to be addressed, ask for information on the future plans to cover the remaining load of the agglomeration (which is necessary for the agglomeration as a whole to reach compliance with the Directive).\n2.\nInformation on the receiving waters and their catchments: ‘normal’ or ‘sensitive’ (Article 5 of the UWWT Directive), ‘drinking water abstraction’, ‘bathing waters’, ‘shellfish waters’. Please indicate the criterion, see Annex II to the Directive, use the following terms: SA Sensitive area NA Normal area, LSA Less Sensitive area, BW designated bathing waters, O other directives to be fulfilled (SA).\n3.\nOnly if applicable — the compliance deadlines under the Accession Treaty for each agglomeration covered by the project for wastewater collection and treatment (refer to both interim and final targets if applicable). Please indicate date and relevant Articles of the Directive.\n4.\nPlanned date by when the project included in the application for the EU co-financing will be implemented and completed.\nColumns 5-11 refer to the description of the agglomeration at the stage when the application for the EU co-financing is submitted.\n5.\nThe load of the agglomeration expressed in p.e. (population-equivalent).\n6.\nCollection rate — coverage of the collecting sewage systems (IAS not included) i.e. load collected by the collecting system in relation to the total load of agglomeration concerned in %.\n7.\nConnection rate — the load collected by the collecting system which is connected to the WWTP serving the agglomeration in %.\n8.\nIAS — the ratio of the load collected/treated by individual appropriate systems according to Article 3(1) of the Directive in % of the load (system which achieves the same level of environmental protection and is established in the case where the collecting system is not justified either because it would produce no environmental benefit or because it would involve excessive cost). If IAS is envisaged, a brief description of the type(s) of the IAS and the treatment level which is reached should be provided. NB: the objective of the Directive for the agglomerations above 2 000 p.e.: the collection rate plus IAS should cover 100 % of the load of the agglomeration.\n9.\nCapacity of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant(s) in p.e.\n10.\nTreatment level — the treatment provided by the Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant(s) for the discharges from the agglomeration(s) i.e. primary, secondary, more stringent (N, P removal, disinfection etc.).\n11.\nTreatment performance — compliance with the treatment requirements laid down in the Annex to I table 1 and 2 (if applicable).\nColumns 12-18 refer to the description of the agglomeration envisaged after the implementation of the project included in the application for the co-financing. Columns 13 and 14 — In addition to total rates, please indicate the rates which correspond to rehabilitation of the existing collecting system, and the rate which corresponds to newly constructed collecting system. In case the connection rate will be below collection rate after the implementation of the project, the reasons for such difference and investment plans for the future to reduce the difference should be provided (including the cases where users do not want to connect to the collector).\n15.\nIf relevant please indicate any improvements (rehabilitation, new, upgrade) to the IAS included in the project.\n16.\nPlease also indicate if the plant(s) are totally new, rehabilitated or upgraded. The capacity of the plants should be sufficient to treat the whole load generated by the agglomeration. In case total capacity of the UWWTP(s) is below the total load of the agglomeration, an explanation of the reasons should be provided (e.g.: forecasted increase, etc.). In addition, it should be explained how proper functioning of the plants will be ensured to overcome the plant overloading. In case the plant(s) are (largely) over-dimensioned, an explanation of the reasons should be provided (ex: forecasted increase of the incoming load, extension of the collecting systems, further connections of other agglomerations etc.).",
