The documents below set out the list of standards that can be used to assess inputs of hazardous substances into groundwater.
This revised paper provides the detailed procedures for the translation of the definitions of good groundwater quantitative status outlined in Annex V of the WFD into an operational classification system.
This classification method enables the assessment of invertebrates in rivers in relation to general degradation, including organic pollution.
The purpose of this report is to derive EQS for the substance emamectin benzoate for sediment and for water (protective of pelagic organisms).
This method statement describes how to determine the WFD class for the lake fish biological element.
