Resumen This Decree-Law adopts Council Directive No. 91/271/CEE, 21 May 1991, regarding urban wastewater treatment. The objective of the Decree is to protect the environment from the adverse effects of urban wastewater discharges; it concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban waste water and the treatment and discharge of wastewater from domestic and industrial sectors. The areas into which urban waste water entering collecting systems shall be discharged are divided into: (6) sensitive areas; and (7) less sensitive areas. According to the criteria given in Annex II, the former include: (a) natural freshwater lakes, other freshwater bodies, estuaries and coastal waters which are found to be eutrophic or which in the near future may become eutrophic if protective action is not taken; (b) surface freshwater intended for the abstraction of drinking water; (c) areas where further treatment than that prescribed in this Decree is necessary to fulfil Council Directives. As far as the latter is concerned the following elements shall be taken into consideration when identifying less sensitive areas: open bays, estuaries and other coastal waters with a good water exchange and not subject to eutrophication or oxygen depletion or which are considered unlikely to become eutrophic or to develop oxygen depletion due to the discharge of urban wastewater. Supervision, sanctions, and fines are of the competence of the Ministries of Environment and Health. Annex I concerns the requirements for urban wastewater. In particular, it regards the drainage systems, the discharge from urban wastewater treatment plants to receiving waters, industrial waste water, reference methods for monitoring and evaluation of results.
