PART IIIN.I.REFERENCE METHODS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF RESULTS
(a)1.—(a) The Department shall apply a monitoring method which corresponds at least with the level of requirements described below.
(b)Alternative methods to those mentioned in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 may be used provided it can be demonstrated that equivalent results are obtained.
Commencement Information
I1Sch. 3 Pt. 3 para. 1 in operation at 1.4.2007, see reg. 1
(a)2.—(a) Flow-proportioned or time-based 24-hour samples shall be collected at the same well-defined point in the outlet and if necessary in the inlet of the treatment plant in order to monitor compliance with the requirements for discharged waste water laid down in these Regulations.
(b)Good international laboratory practices aiming at minimising the degradation of samples between collection and analysis shall be applied.
Commencement Information
I2Sch. 3 Pt. 3 para. 2 in operation at 1.4.2007, see reg. 1
3. The minimum annual number of samples shall be determined according to the size of the treatment plant and be collected at regular intervals during the year:N.I.
| —2,000 to 9,999 p.e.: | 12 samples during the first year; 4 samples in subsequent years, if it can be shown that the water during the first year complies with the provisions of these Regulations; if 1 sample of the 4 fails, 12 samples must be taken in the year that follows; |
| —10,000 to 49,999 p.e.: | 12 samples; |
