(c) parameters indicative of all general physico-chemical quality elements;
(d) priority list pollutants which are discharged or otherwise deposited into the river basin or sub-basin;
(e) other pollutants discharged or otherwise deposited in significant quantities in the river basin or sub-basin.
However, where the previous surveillance monitoring exercise showed that the body concerned reached good status and there is no evidence from the review of impact of human activity referred to in Annex II that the impacts on the body have changed, the surveillance monitoring shall be carried out once during the period covered by three consecutive river basin management plans.';

Good status
The chemical composition of the groundwater body is such that the concentrations of pollutants:
-- as specified below, do not exhibit the effects of saline or other intrusions
-- do not exceed the groundwater quality standards as referred to in Annex I to Directive 2006/118/EC, the threshold values for groundwater pollutants and indicators of pollution set pursuant to Article 3(1), point (b), of that Directive and the Union wide threshold values set pursuant to Article 8(3) of that Directive
-- are not such as would result in failure to achieve the environmental objectives specified under Article 4 for associated surface waters nor any significant diminution of the ecological or chemical quality of such bodies nor in any significant damage to terrestrial ecosystems which depend directly on the groundwater body
Changes in conductivity are not indicative of saline or other intrusion into the groundwater body';
(17) in point 2.4.1., the following paragraph is added:
`Where the monitoring network involves earth observation or remote sensing rather than local sampling points, or other innovative techniques, reference shall be made to CEN, ISO, or other international or national standards that have been applied to ensure that the temporal and spatial data obtained are as reliable as those obtained through the use of conventional monitoring methods at local sampling points.';

(18) point 2.4.5. is replaced by the following:
`2.4.5. Interpretation and presentation of groundwater chemical status
In assessing the chemical status of groundwater, the results of individual monitoring points within a groundwater body shall be aggregated for the body as a whole. The mean value of the results of monitoring at each point in the groundwater body or group of bodies shall be calculated for the following parameters:
(a) chemical parameters for which quality standards have been set in Annex I to Directive 2006/118/EC;
(b) chemical parameters for which national thresholds have been set pursuant to Article 3(1), point (b), of Directive 2006/118/EC;
(c) chemical parameters for which Union wide thresholds have been set pursuant to Article 8(3) of Directive 2006/118/EC.
The mean values referred to in the first paragraph shall be used to demonstrate compliance with good groundwater chemical status defined by reference to the quality standards and threshold values referred to in the first paragraph.
Subject to point 2.5, Member States shall provide a map of groundwater chemical status, colour-coded as follows:
Good: green
Poor: red
Member States shall also indicate by a black dot on the map, those groundwater bodies which are subject to a significant and sustained upward trend in the concentrations of any pollutant resulting from the impact of human activity. Reversal of a trend shall be indicated by a blue dot on the map.
These maps shall be included in the river basin management plans.'.

(1) CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service. (2) EU number: European Inventory of Existing Commercial Substances (EINECS) or European List of Notified Chemical Substances (ELINCS). (3) This parameter is the EQS expressed as an annual average value (AA-EQS). Unless otherwise specified, it applies to the total concentration of all substances and isomers. (4) Inland surface waters encompass rivers and lakes and related artificial or heavily modified water bodies. (5) This parameter is the EQS expressed as a maximum allowable concentration (MAC EQS). Where the MAC EQS are marked as "not applicable", the AA EQS values are
considered protective against short-term pollution peaks in continuous discharges since they are significantly lower than the values derived on the basis of acute toxicity. (6) If an EQS biota is given, it, rather than the water EQS, shall be applied, without prejudice to the provision in Article 3(3) of this Directive allowing an alternative biota taxon, or
another matrix, to be monitored instead, as long as the EQS applied provides an equivalent level of protection. Unless otherwise indicated, the biota EQS relate to fish. For
substances numbered 15 (Fluoranthene), 28 (PAHs), and 51 (Bisphenol-A) the biota EQS refers to crustaceans and molluscs. For the purpose of assessing chemical status,
monitoring of Fluoranthene and PAHs, and Bisphenol-A in fish is not appropriate. For substance number 37 (Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds), the biota EQS relates to fish,
crustaceans and molluscs, in line with Commission Regulation (EU) No 1259/2011* Annex Section 5.3. (7) For the group of priority substances covered by brominated diphenylethers (No 5), the EQS refer to the sum of the concentrations of congener numbers 28, 47, 99, 100, 153 and
154. (8) Tetra, Penta, Hexa, Hepta, Octa and Decabromodiphenylether (CAS numbers 40088-47-9, 32534-81-9, 36483-60-0, 68928-80-3, 32536-52-0, 1163-19-5, respectively). (9) For Cadmium and its compounds (No 6) the EQS values vary depending on the hardness of the water as specified in five class categories (Class 1: <40 mg CaCO3/l, Class 2: 40
to <50 mg CaCO3/l, Class 3: 50 to <100 mg CaCO3/l, Class 4: 100 to <200 mg CaCO3/l and Class 5: 200 mg CaCO3/l). (10) No indicative parameter is provided for this group of substances. The indicative parameter(s) must be defined through the analytical method. (11) DDT total comprises the sum of the isomers 1,1,1 trichloro 2,2 bis (p chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS 50 29 3, EU 200 024 3); 1,1,1 trichloro 2 (o chlorophenyl) 2 (p chlorophenyl)
ethane (CAS 789 02 6, EU 212 332 5); 1,1-dichloro 2,2 bis (p chlorophenyl) ethylene (CAS 72 55 9, EU 200 784 6); and 1,1 dichloro 2,2 bis (p chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS 72
54 8, EU 200 783 0). (12) These EQS refer to bioavailable concentrations of the substances. (13) The EQS for biota refers to methyl mercury.

`ANNEX II ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STANDARDS FOR RIVER BASIN SPECIFIC
POLLUTANTS
PART A: LIST OF CATEGORIES OF RIVER BASIN SPECIFIC POLLUTANTS 1. Organohalogen compounds and substances which may form such compounds in the aquatic environment. 2. Organophosphorous compounds. 3. Organotin compounds. 4. Substances and preparations, or the breakdown products of such, which have been proved to possess carcinogenic or mutagenic properties or properties which may affect steroidogenic, thyroid, reproduction or other endocrine-related functions in or via the aquatic environment. 5. Persistent hydrocarbons and persistent and bioaccumulable organic toxic substances. 6. Cyanides. 7. Metals and their compounds. 8. Arsenic and its compounds. 9. Biocides and plant protection products. 10. Materials in suspension, including micro/nanoplastics 11. Substances which contribute to eutrophication (in particular, nitrates and phosphates). 12. Substances which have an unfavourable influence on the oxygen balance and can be measured using parameters such as BOD, COD, etc. 13. Microorganisms, genes or genetic material reflecting the presence of microorganisms resistant to antimicrobial agents, in particular microorganisms pathogenic to humans or livestock.
PART B: THE PROCEDURE FOR DERIVING ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STANDARDS FOR RIVER BASIN SPECIFIC POLLUTANTS
Methods used for the establishment of EQS for river basin specific pollutants shall include the following steps:
(a) identification of the receptors and compartments or matrices at risk from the substance of concern;
EN
25
EN
(b) collation and quality assessment of data on the properties of the substance of concern, including its (eco)toxicity, in particular from reports on laboratory, mesocosm and field studies which cover both chronic and acute effects in both fresh and saltwater environments;
(c) extrapolation of (eco)toxicity data to no-effect or similar concentrations using deterministic or probabilistic methods, and selection and application of appropriate assessment factors to address uncertainties and derive EQS;
(d) comparison of EQS for different receptors and compartments, and selection of critical EQS, i.e. the EQS that provides protection to the most sensitive receptor in the most relevant compartment or matrix.
