Waste water treatment requirements must be observed in the planning, construction and maintenance of waste water sewers, using the best available technology and considering in particular: a) the quantity and qualities of urban waste waters; b) the prevention of leakages; and c) restricting the pollution of water bodies as a consequence of overflow water. Waste waters shall be subject to secondary (biological) or an equivalent treatment and the treatment must comply with the requirements listed in Table 1 in the Annex to this Decree. The need for nitrogen removal from waste waters must be determined in the environmental permit application and decided in the environmental permit. A waste water treatment plant must be constructed so as to facilitate the taking of representative samples of incoming waste water, waste water under treatment and waste water being discharged into waterways.
