| Project Abstract | In accordance with the European Pollution and Transfer Register, urban waste water treatment plants have to report specific data on air, land and water emissions to the EPA. The competent authority subsequently transmits that data to the European Commission [1].This project will investigate and develop quality management systems for emissions from urban waste water treatment plants in Ireland. The work will also involve developing and pilot deployment of a quality management system comprising monitoring, analysis, inspection and compliance reporting for urban waste water treatment plants. This project will improve waste management plans in Ireland and data reporting initiatives.[1] Regulation EC No166/2006 of the European parliament and of the council of 18th January 2006, concerning the establishment of a European pollution release and transfer register and amended council directives 91/689/EEC and 96/61/EEC. |
