Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 6 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Article 6 – paragraph 1 a (new)
The monitoring frequency can be adapted through a risk –based approach. In that case Member States shall communicate the grounds for its decision, and the relevant results of monitoring programmes to the Commission.
Amendment 68 #

Article 9 – paragraph 2
Article 9 – paragraph 2
2. Where a failure to comply with the parametric values laid down in accordance with Article 5 occurs, the Member State shall assess whether the failure poses a risk to human health. In the event that there is such a risk, the Member State shall take remedial action to restore the quality of the water, based on the subsidiarity principle, to restore the quality of the water. When taking remedial actions for radon, the following flexibility to the Member States shall be considered: (a) Between concentrations of more than 100 to less than 1000 Bq/l, Member States should set a reference level for radon to be used for consideration whether remedial action is needed to protect human health; (b) For concentrations in excess of 1000 Bq/l for radon, remedial action is deemed to be justified on radiological protection grounds; (c) Above reference concentration of 0.1 Bq/l for polonium-210 and 0.2 Bq/l for lead-210, a consideration should be given to whether remedial action is needed to protect human health.

Annex I
Annex I
1. Parametric values for radon and tritium and parametric values for Total Indicative Dose, for other other radioactive substances, in water intended for human consumption Radioactivity Parameter Parametric value Unit Notes Radon 100 Bq/l Tritium 100 Bq/l Total indicative dose 0,10 mSv/year (Note 1)
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a directive
Annex I – paragraph 2 (new)
Annex I – paragraph 2 (new)
2. Member States may set a parametric value for radon which is judged inappropriate to be exceeded and below which optimization of protection should be ensured, without compromising water supply on a national or regional scale. The parametric level set by a member state may be higher than 100 Bq/l but lower than 1000 Bq/l.
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a directive
Annex III – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2
Annex III – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2
If the gross alpha and the gross beta activity are less than 0.15 Bq/l and 1.0 Bq/l respectively, the Member State may assume that the TID is less than the parametric indicator value of 0.1 mSv/year and no radiological investigation is needed unless it is known from other sources of information that specific radionuclides are present in the water supply and are liable to cause a TID in excess of 0.1 mSv/year.
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a directive
Annex III – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
Annex III – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
If the gross alpha activity exceeds 0.15 Bq/l or the gross beta activity exceeds 1.0 Bq/l, analysis for specific radionuclides shall be required. The radionuclides to be measured shall be defined by Member States taking into account all relevant information about likely sources of radioactivity. Since elevated levels of tritium may indicate the presence of other artificial radionuclides, tritium, gross alpha activity and gross beta activity should be measured in the same sample.
