There are currently no known outstanding effects for the The Urban Waste Water Treatment (England and Wales) Regulations 1994, PART I.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
1. Treatment plants shall be designed or modified so that representative samples of the incoming waste water and of treated effluent can be obtained before discharge to receiving waters.E+W
2. Discharges from urban waste water treatment plants subject to treatment in accordance with regulation 5(1) and (2) shall, subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 of Part II of this Schedule, meet the requirements shown in Table 1 below.E+W
3. Discharges from urban waste water treatment plants to those sensitive areas which are subject to eutrophication as identified in sub-paragraph (a) of Part I of Schedule 1 shall, subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 of Part II of this Schedule, also meet the requirements in Table 2 below.E+W
4. More stringent requirements than those shown in Table 1 and/or Table 2 shall be applied where required to ensure that the receiving waters satisfy [F1retained EU law].E+W
Textual Amendments
F1Words in Sch. 3 Pt. 1 para. 4 substituted (31.12.2020) by The Floods and Water (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/558), regs. 1(1), 7(6); 2020 c. 1, Sch. 5 para. 1(1)
5. The points of discharge of urban waste water shall be chosen, as far as possible, so as to minimise the effects on receiving waters.E+W
The values for concentration or for the percentage of reduction shall apply.
{s001} Reduction in relation to the load of the influent. {s002} The parameter can be replaced by another parameter: total organic carbon (TOC) or total oxygen demand (TOD) if a relationship can be established between BOD5 and the substitute parameter. | |||
Parameters | Concentration | Minimum percentage of reduction {s001} | Reference method of measurement |
---|---|---|---|
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5 at 20°C without nitrification {s002} | 25 mg/l O2 | 70—90 | Homogenized, unfiltered, undecanted sample. Determination of dissolved oxygen before and after five-day incubation at 20°+1°C, in complete darkness. Addition of a nitrification inhibitor |
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) | 125 mg/l O2 | 75 | Homogenized, unfiltered, undecanted sample Potassium dichromate |
Analyses concerning discharges from lagooning shall be carried out on filtered samples; however, the concentration of total suspended solids in unfiltered water samples shall not exceed 150 mg/l.
One or both parameters may be applied depending on the local situation. The values for concentration or for the percentage of reduction shall apply.
{s003} Reduction in relation to the load of the influent. {s004} Total nitrogen means: the sum of total Kjeldahl-nitrogen (organic N + NH3), nitrate (NO3)-nitrogen and nitrite (NO2)-nitrogen. | |||
Parameters | Concentration | Minimum percentage of reduction {s003} | Reference method of measurement |
---|---|---|---|
Total phosphorus | 2 mg/l P (10,000—100,000 p.e.) 1 mg/l P (more than 100,000 p.e.) | 80 | Molecular absorption spectrophotometry |
Total nitrogen {s004} | 15 mg/l N (10,000—100,000 p.e.) 10 mg/l N (more than 100,000 p.e.) | 70—80 | Molecular absorption spectrophotometry |

This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. The first date in the timeline will usually be the earliest date when the provision came into force. In some cases the first date is 01/02/1991 (or for Northern Ireland legislation 01/01/2006). This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.
