11. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Interpretation of “Definitions for UWWTD” Scenario c): Legal requirements (compliance dates article 3 and 4,5 UWWTD) defined by P.E. of each individual agglomeration Treatment standard defined by P.E. Of biggest agglomeration. No legal requirement for tertiary treatment if all agglomerations in the “cluster” are below 10.000 P.E. However, other Environmental Directives to be considered (WFD, Bathing Water Directive) 11

12. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Interpretation of “Definitions for UWWTD” Scenario b): Splitting one settlement in two parts (i.e. River crossing the town) is not allowed Development of future population load to be considered 12

17. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA How to define an Agglomeration in practice Define boarders for all agglomerations in the county (settlements very close to each other might be merged to one agglomeration => consider also future development) Classification of agglomerations in categories Below 2,000 p.e. 2000 – 1,0000 p.e. Above 10,000 p.e. 17

18. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Example Roman page 18 Example for Agglomerations – Detailed Definition of Boundaries

19. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA How to define an Agglomeration in practice Analyse case-by-case based on the criteria such as: Distance between agglomerations and topography (altitude) Population /industrial density (p.e./ha) Unit costs for investments (sewer, WWTP, etc.) Specific Investment Costs (in €/p.e.) and specific Operational Costs (in €/p.e.) => NPV Others (i.e. Recipient water available, land for WWTP extension, existing capacities, etc.) 19

20. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA How to define an Agglomeration in practice Prepare option analysis for all agglomerations considering criteria above) One single WWTP versus separate WWTP Storage tanks for small agglomerations / small WWTP Etc. Group individual agglomerations in “clusters” of agglomerations (=> scenario c in Definitions of UWWTD) 20

Scoring rate for Ranking Total investment costs for wastewater 28

29. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Selection of priority investments Two step approach: Step 1: Mandatory criteria Compliance date 2015 ROC established Step 2: Ranking Size of agglomeration (highest weight) Health improvement Environmental improvement Efficiency improvement 29

MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Criteria for Ranking 30 N°CRITERIAINDICATOR A Size of agglomeration and improvement of connection rate Total generated load in Population equivalent Additional load connected in Population equivalent BHealth Risk B1water supply system without adequate sanitation system Number of households connected to the water supply but not connected to the sewer system (or individual/adequate sewer treatment B2Existence of sewerage network% of households connected to the sewerage network B3Physical condition of sewerage network % of sewer network highly depreciated or with insufficient capacity (high exfiltration to groundwater, sewerage overflow, etc.) CEnvironmental Pollution C1 Surface water pollution: Existing central sewerage network with no or inadequate wastewater treatment % of collected wastewater load discharged without treatment to the receiving water C2Groundwater pollution: Existence of adequate wastewater collection and treatment facilities % of total generated wastewater load (p.e.) collected and treated with effluent quality compliant to UWWTD Example for criteria and indicators for Wastewater

31. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Investment Scenarios for priority investment 1.Low Scenario (priority investments up to budget limit given by MESD 2.Medium Scenario minimum investments to reach compliance until 2015 3.High Scenario extended investments including additional agglomerations with compliance date beyond 2015 proposed in phase I 31

32. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Final Selection of Priority Investments  Discuss with MESD Investment SCENARIO (based on criteria and investment scenario)  Agree on agglomerations to be included in CF project  Prepare priority investment table (template for priority investment costs) 32

33. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Agglomeration boarders for selected Priority Investment Measures  Prepare detailed map for selected priority investment measures (Scale 1 : 25.000)  Detailed boarders of agglomerations  Cluster boarders  Existing/Proposed Infrastructure (WWTP, main sewers etc.)  Review/confirm option analysis 33

34. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Phasing of Investment Measures Based on agreed priority investment measures :  Prepare Long-term investment table (template for long term investment costs)  Prepare Map with phasing of agglomerations (categorise in 3 main phases) 34

35. MINISTERUL MEDIULUI ŞI DEZVOLTĂRII DURABILE ROMANIA Approval by Local Authorities (LA)  Approval of LA on investment list is mandatory!!  Maps of agglomerations should be included in the Urbanism Plan (by LA)  FS might start in parallel with MP approval for the endorsed investments 35
