Article 10 e (new)
Article 10e Prevention and control of mercury emissions from industrial activities - emissions to water From 1 January 2021 onwards all permits for installations referred to in Annex I of Directive 2010/75/EU shall include conditions ensuring that mercury emissions in waste water streams do not exceed the following emission limit values prior to discharge point, or in case of indirect discharges, prior to mixing with other waste water streams: (a) 0.75µg/l for waste water from installations covered by the activities specified in points 1.1 and 1.2 of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU; (b) 0.75µg/l for waste water from activities covered by the activities specified in points 3(a) and 3(b) of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 166/20061a. Where point 3(b) concerns lignite, the threshold of the surface of the area is brought to above 5 hectares if effectively under extractive operation and above 10 hectares if this concerns waste water treatment from mining operations that stopped or will stop by 2020; (c) 1 µg/l for waste water from installations covered by the activities specified in points 4.1, 4.2 and 6.11 of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU; (d) 1 µg/l for waste water from installations covered by the activities specified in points 2.2 and 2.5 of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU; (e) 3µg/l for other installations covered by the activities specified in Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU where the mercury release threshold does exceed 800 grams per year. The emission limit values referred to in the first subparagraph are based on a daily average of flow-weighted 24-hour flow-proportional composite samples. ______________ 1a Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 January 2006 concerning the establishment of a European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and amending Council Directives 91/689/EEC and 96/61/EC (OJ L 033, 4.2.2006, p.1).

Article 10 f (new)
Article 10 f (new)
Article 10f Prevention and control of mercury emissions from urban waste water treatment plants - emissions to water From 1 January 2021 onwards Member States shall ensure that for installations referred to in Council Directive 91/271/EEC1a mercury emissions in waste water streams do not exceed 3µg/l at discharge point, or in case of indirect discharges, prior to mixing with other waste water stream. These limits shall apply provided a mercury release threshold of 1000 grams per year is exceeded. The emission limit values referred to in the first subparagraph are based on a daily average of flow-weighted 24-hour flow-proportional composite samples. The monitoring and sampling frequency set in Annex I may be reduced in case of emissions proven to be sufficiently stable, in particular when Member States have fully implemented a ban of dental amalgam and taken all appropriate measures to prevent dental amalgam to enter in upstream waste water streams for the installation concerned. ______________ 1a Council Directive (91/271/EEC) of 21 May 1991 concerning urban waste water treatment (OJ L 135 30.5.1991, p. 40).
