(82/883/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Articles 100 and 235 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 78/176/EEC of 20 February 1978
on waste from the titanium dioxide industry(1), and in particular
Article 7 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(4),
Whereas, irrespective of the method and extent of the treatment of
wastes from the titanium dioxide industry, the discharge, dumping,storage on, tipping on or injection into the ground of such wastes
must be accompanied by measures for the surveillance and monitoring
of the environments concerned from a physical, chemical, biologicaland ecological point of view;
Whereas, in order to monitor the quality of these environments,
samples should be taken with a minimum frequency so that the para-meters specified in the Annexes may be measured; whereas thenumber of these sampling operations could be reduced in the light ofthe results obtained; whereas, to ensure that the monitoring is effective,
samples should also be taken if possible in a zone deemed to be unaf-
fected by the discharges in question;
Whereas, in connection with the analyses carried out by the Member
States, common reference methods of measurement should be fixedfor determining the parametric values which define the physical,chemical, biological and ecological characteristics of the environmentsconcerned;
Whereas, for the surveillance and monitoring of the environments
affected, Member States may at any time lay down other parameters
in addition to those laid down by this Directive;
Whereas it is necessary to define the details of the methods of surveil-
lance and monitoring which Member States communicate to the
Commission; whereas the Commission shall, with the prior agreementof the Member States, publish a consolidated report on these details;
Whereas in certain natural circumstances it may prove difficult to carry
out the surveillance and monitoring operations, and, accordingly, provi-sion must be made for derogation, in certain cases, from this Directive;
Whereas technical and scientific progress may require the rapid adjust-
ment of certain of the provisions contained in the Annex; whereas tofacilitate implementation of the requisite measures a procedure should
be laid down to establishclose cooperation between th e Member States
and the Commission through a committee on adaptation to scientificand technical progress,1982L0883 — EN — 01.01.1995 — 002.001 — 2

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
This Directive lays down, pursuant to Article 7 (3) of Directive 78/176/
EEC, the procedures for the surveillance and monitoring of the effectson the environment, having regard to its physical, chemical, biologicaland ecological aspects, of the discharge, dumping, storage on, tipping
on or injection into the ground of waste from the titanium dioxide
industry.
Article 2
For the purpose of this Directive:
— ‘environments affected’ means the water, the land surface and
underground strata and the air in or into which waste from the tita-nium dioxide industry is discharged, dumped, stored, tipped orinjected,
— ‘sampling point’ means the point at which samples are taken.
Article 3
1. The parameters applicable for the surveillance and monitoring
referred to in Article 1 are specified in the Annexes.
2. Where a parameter appears in the ‘mandatory determination’
column in the Annexes, sampling and analysis of the samples must becarried out in respect of the environmental components indicated.
3. Where a parameter appears in the ‘optional determination’
column in the Annexes, the Member States shall, if they consider itnecessary, have the sampling and analysis of samples carried out for
the environmental components indicated.
Article 4
1. Member States shall carry out surveillance and monitoring of the
environments affected and of a neighbouring zone deemed to be unaf-
fected, special account being taken of local environmental factors and
the manner of disposal, i.e. whether intermittent or continuous.
2. Except where otherwise specified in the Annexes, Member States
shall determine on a case-by-case basis the exact sites from whichsamples are to be taken, the distance of these sites from the nearestpollutant disposal point and the depth or height at which the samplesmust be taken.
The samples must be taken at the same location and depth and under
the same conditions in the course of successive sampling operations,
for example in the case of tidal waters, at the same time in relation tohigh tide, tidal coefficient.
3. For the monitoring and inspection of the environments affected,
Member States shall determine the frequency of sampling and analysisfor eachparameter listed in th e Annexes.
For parameters where determination is mandatory, the frequency of
sampling and analysis must not be less than the minimum frequenciesindicated in the Annexes. However, once the behaviour, fate and
effects of the waste have, as far as possible, been established, and
provided there is no significant deterioration in the quality of the envir-onment, Member States may provide for a frequency of sampling andanalysis below these frequencies. Should there subsequently be anysignificant deterioration in the quality of the environment as a result
of the waste or of any change in the disposal operation, the Member
State shall revert to sampling and analysis at a frequency not less thanthat specified in the Annexes. If a Member State considers it necessaryor advisable, it may distinguishbetween different parameters, applyingthis subparagraph to those parameters where no significant deteriora-tion in the quality of the environment has been recorded.1982L0883 — EN — 01.01.1995 — 002.001 — 3
▼B
4. For the monitoring and inspection of an appropriate neighbouring
zone deemed to be unaffected, the laying down of the frequency ofsampling and analysis shall be assessed by the Member States. When
a Member State finds that it is not possible to identify such a neigh-
bouring zone, it shall inform the Commission to that effect.
Article 5
1. The reference methods of measurement for determining the para-
metric values are specified in the Annexes. Laboratories using othermethods must ensure that the results obtained are comparable.
2. The containers used to carry the samples, the agents or methods
used to preserve a part sample witha view to analysis of one or moreparameters, the transport and storage of samples and their preparationfor analysis must be such that they do not significantly affect the analy-
tical results.
Article 6
For the surveillance and monitoring of the environments affected,
Member States may, at any time, lay down other parameters in addition
to those laid down by this Directive.
Article 7
1. The report which the Member States are required to forward to
the Commission pursuant to Article 14 of Directive 78/176/EEC shall
contain details of the surveillance and monitoring operations carriedout by the bodies appointed in accordance with Article 7 (2) of thatDirective. These details shall, in respect of each environment affected,include the following information:
— a description of the sampling point, including its permanent
features, which may be coded, and other administrative and geogra-phical information. This information shall be provided only oncewhen the sampling point is designated,
— a description of the sampling methods used,— the results of the measurements of the parameters whose determina-
tion is mandatory and, where Member States consider it useful, alsothose of parameters whose determination is optional,
— the methods of measurement and analysis used and, where appro-
priate, their limit of detection, accuracy and precision,
— changes, adopted in accordance with Article 4 (3), in the frequency
of sampling and analysis.
2. The first set of data to be communicated pursuant to paragraph 1
shall be that gathered during the third year following notification ofthis Directive.
3. The Commission shall, with the prior agreement of the Member
State concerned, publisha summary of th e information supplied to it.
4. The Commission shall assess the effectiveness of the procedure
for the surveillance and monitoring of the environments affected and
shall — no later than six years after notification of this Directive —
place before the Council, if appropriate, proposals to improve thisprocedure and, if necessary, to harmonize the methods of measurementincluding their limit of detection, accuracy and precision and thesampling methods.
Article 8
Member States may derogate from this Directive in the event of
flooding or natural disaster or on account of exceptional weather condi-tions.1982L0883 — EN — 01.01.1995 — 002.001 — 4
