Wastewater treatment plant

Wastewater treatment and landfills, including anaerobic wastewater treatment or sludge digestion operations and landfills used to dispose of mill wastes, are not listed in Annex I to the Directive.

Systems for collecting wastewater will gradually be connected to wastewater treatment plants using appropriate methods.

Installing a system for wastewater treatment in the Žabljak Municipality

Construction of a receiving canal and the regulation of wastewater treatment in the Žabljak Municipality

New collecting systems with wastewater treatment plants will have to be constructed in settlements with no public collecting systems.

WTR2) to reduce emissions from diffuse sources intensive agriculture, dispersed settlements without wastewater treatment facilities, traffic

To ensure the application of energy-efficient and environmentally optimal wastewater treatment techniques by introducing measures at the institutional and organisational levels.

The use of sludge from wastewater treatment plants, silt from river beds and lakes and compost in agriculture is regulated by the Decree on the Input of Hazardous Substances and Plant Nutrients into the Soil.

The donation of the Republic of Slovenia would support stage one of the project to construct municipal infrastructure, notably the construction of a receiving canal and the regulation of wastewater treatment.

In the assessment of projects the selection among the proposed solutions and the introduction of environmentally sound and economical methods of disposal of sludge from wastewater treatment plants have to be ensured.

The initial phase of the implementation of the NEAP will be focused on the building of those wastewater treatment plants which are related to the fulfilment of the requirements of Slovenian legislation and EU directives.

In determining which facilities have a priority, the criteria for optimal and integrated water management43 and individual levels of wastewater treatment, taking into account not only emission but also imission criteria44, have to observed.

First projections show that building of wastewater treatment plants for settlements with less than 2000 inhabitants and for settlements with between 2000 and 15 000 inhabitants will be carried out in the second phase of the implementation of the NEAP (after 2003).

Many industrial plant and facilities still discharge wastewater into watercourses without any prior treatment.

Additional mechanism for achieving the objectives in this field will be the drawing-up of eco-technological standards and criteria for introducing appropriate technologies for wastewater treatment, waste sludge management and drinking water supply, as well as the formulation of criteria for finding locations for relevant facilities.

(ii) Treatment of residuals, wastewater, wastes and sewage sludge by, for example, thermal treatment or rendering them inert or chemical processes that detoxify them;

The informing and training of contractors and the control of the trade in chemical preparations should be improved in order to reduce the impact of agriculture on groundwater caused by nitrates, phosphates and pesticides (problematic mainly due to intensive farming in NE Slovenia), organic substances, nitrogen compounds generated at livestock farms, sludge from wastewater treatment plants, bio-technological waste (mycelia), etc.

The current state in the treatment of wastewater generated by the population is shown in Picture 2. The level of treatment in all existing plants and facilities will be determined by regulations.

To ensure the conditions which will enable the providers of public services for the collection and treatment of wastewaters to undertake the tasks laid down in this programme.

Radioactive substances (especially iodine isotopes) in wastewaters from hospitals (especially the Medical Centre, Ljubljana), which are discharged into the river Ljubljanica without prior treatment present a special problem.

The supported Projects will focus mainly on energy efficiency and renewable energy and will moreover target water conservation/recycling, water supply and wastewater collection and treatment, and waste management, as more particularly described in the Technical Description set out in Schedule A.1 of the Finance Contract, and are expected to yield environmental benefits associated with the reduction of air, land and water pollution, including greenhouse gases, as well as efficient waste management.

is the amenability of compounds to removal during biological wastewater treatment without adversely affecting the normal operation of the treatment processes.

At least 95 % (by dry weight) of the component substances of any sizeing preparation applied to yarns shall be sufficiently biodegradable or eliminable in wastewater treatment plants, or else shall be recycled.

At each wet-processing site, at least 95 % by weight of the detergents, at least 95 % by weight of fabric softeners and at least 95 % by weight complexing agents used shall be sufficiently degradable or eliminable in wastewater treatment plants.

(4) Additional rules concerning the treatment of wastewater from premises where microbiological or other contamination risks may be present as a consequence of the handling of Category 1 or Category 2 materials should be provided;

Electricity used for wastewater treatment need not be included.

using the same infrastructures for the management of various environmental impacts such as wastewater treatment plants, waste incinerators, dumps etc. and creating specific organisations, like consortia for that,

Additional rules concerning the treatment of wastewater from premises where microbiological or other contamination risks may be present as a consequence of the handling of Category 1 or Category 2 materials should be provided;

For example, payments for collection and treatment of waste and wastewater, payments related to decontamination of soil, regulatory charges, payments to environmental consultants related to e.g. environmental information, certification or operation of environmental equipment.

In preparing action plans, programmes and measures, the Parties, in conformity with the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities, adopted at Washington, D.C., in 1995, will give priority to substances that are toxic, persistent and liable to bioaccumulate, in particular to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), as well as to wastewater treatment and management.
