  1. Hazardous Substances relevant for aquatic ecosystems conservation in France ----- Jean-Paul Lecomte Ministry for Ecology and Sustainable Development

  2. Directive 76/464/CEE : List of " dangerous substances" : emissions must be regulated (eliminate pollution-list I-18 substances and reduce pollution-liste II-138 substances) European Context • Water Framework Directive 2000/60/CE (article 16) : • List of 33 priority substances • progressive reduction of discharge, emissions and losses of «  priority substances  » • Cessation or phasing out of discharge, emissions and losses of «priority hazardous substances» whithin a period of time not exceeding 20 years (the list is revised every 4 years)

  3. National Action Programme for Pollution Reduction in aquatic ecosystems 1. Review of HS in industrial discharges 2. Review of HS in aquatic ecosystems 3. Selection of relevant substances at national level 4. Implementation of specific arrangements for the relevant substances pollution control Set up Quality Standard in water Discharge license and Emission Limit Value Implementation in France

  4. The substance is put down on the list of the relevant substances in the action programme Selection methodology of relevant substances(ministerial orderdated 30th june 2005) Is the substance dangerous for aquatic ecosystems (upon European or National criterion) ? La substance présente - t - elle No The substance is excluded from the action programme un danger pour les milieux aquatiques ? (selon critères européens et nationaux) Don’t know Yes Waiting for better scientific knowledge Mise en attente de statut selon avancées scientifiques Can the substance be found in waters (solubility, volatility) Peut - elle chimiquement se retrouver dans les eaux (solubilité / Substance No volatilité) ? exclue du Yes programme national Yes Est - elle Is the substance found and quantified in water bodies in France ? quantifiée dans les milieux aquatiques en France ? Don’t know No National review Diligenter un inventaire national Is the substance found and quantified in emissions to water bodies in France Est - elle quantifiée dans les émissions dans l’eau en France ? No Don’t know Yes National review Diligenter un inventaire national

  5. 1- Search for dangerous substances in discharges List of 106 substances or families incliding the 33 WFD PS 5000 installations targeted in 2002, probably 3500 at final stage UWWTPs included Regional actions (local Ministry rep, Water authorities, industrials) 2- National review of river water quality in 2005 222 stations (155 water bodies, 50 lakes et 17 coastal stations) 200 substances systematically analysed Water and sediment Low-water and high-water 2 complementaryactions

  6. Selection of industries in the main industrial sectors in France Analysis of the same substances in each discharge Applying the same protocols and the same quality requirements for sampling and analyses Terms of reference Results uploaded following a common format Results centralised in a data base 1- Search for dangerous substances in discharges  DATA ARE COMPARABLE

  7. Metals (Cd, Pb, Hg, Ni, As, Cr, Cu, Zn) Organo-stain PAH, PCB Benzen and by-products including volatiles hydrocarbons (BTEX) Volatiles OrganoHalogen Compounds Phenols and by-products (pentachlorophénol, chlorophénols) Aniline and by-products (chloroanilines) Alkylphenols Diphenylethers bromed Chloroalcanes C10-C13 Pesticides Phtalate (DEHP) Others Chemical Families (review of industrial discharges)

  8. Industrial discharges : 105 substances quantified in at least 1 discharge hexachloroethane not quantified Urban discharges: 48 substances quantified in at least 1 discharge 7 priority hazardous substances 15 priority substances Results Summary (end of 2005)

  9. Zinc & compounds Copper & compounds Nickel & compounds Chromium & compounds Di (2-éthylhexyl)phtalate The 10 mostly quantified substances • Arsenic & compounds • Lead & compounds • Chloroform • 4-tert-butylphenol • Fluoranthene

  10. Zinc & compounds Copper & compounds Tributylphosphate Lead & compounds Methylene Chlorid Chloroforme Diuron Monobutylétain cation Chromium & compound Tetrachloroethylene The 10 mostly quantified substances in urban waste water treatment plants

  11. Set up by the River Basin Authorities (under a Ministry mandate) National technical requirements Data processed at national level Follow up by a national committee Reporting by RBA (jan. 2006) National Synthesis (apr. 2006) Setting up of a national data base (in process) 2-How was organised the river quality review

  12. Stations location Les stations de mesures [plans d’eau et littoral] du bassin SN ne sont pas représentées faute d’information sur leur localisation.

  13. A total of 103 substances including 67 organic substances Are usually found in rivers : Metals (22 substances), les PAH (including WFD priority PAH), basic parameters (5 substances) Also found : 29 pesticides [including DDT families, Endosulfan, Hexachlorocyclohexane, etc...] PCBs, nonylphenols, octylphenols, pentabromodiphényléthers  , trichlorobenzen, xylen, VOHC, Di(2-éthylhexyl)phtalate, chloroalcanes, organotin, etc… Substances quantified in 2005 (>LQ)

  14. Usually found substances Metals (6 substances), les PAH (including WFD priority PAH), 4 basic parameters (including phosphorus et cyanide) Also found : 27 pesticides [including DDT families, Endosulfan, Hexachlorocyclohexane, etc...] Octylphenols, nonylphenols, VOHC, DEHP pentabromodiphenylethers, trichlorobenzens, les chloroalcanes, tributyltincompounds Substances > quality standards

  15. FINAL OUTCOME : Relevant substances : 113 of 156 substances + 13 complementary WFD-PS • 18 substances (list I) • 95 substances (list II) : • 60 of « list II – 99 substances » • 10 of list « 15 substances potentially list I, now in list II » • 25 « metals, metalloids, other substances » • 43 substances excluded

  16. Selection of relevant substances for water quality monitoring Evaluate the level of contamination as regards the quality standards Define the action priority according to the basins as regards the reduction of inputs within the framework of the National Action Programme implementation Setting up appropriate regulation (monitoring, reduction) Conclusions

  17. Quality Standards « European » rather than « national » issue ? >>> Harmonisation ? QS >>> EQS ? Coastal and transition waters ? Relevant substances  : Included in ecological status evaluation ? After 2013 ? QUESTIONS ?
