Regulation 11

This schedule has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

StandardsU.K.

1. The appropriate agency must use the following standards for classification-

Standards for inland waters

Standards for coastal and transitional waters

MethodologyU.K.

2.-(1) In this Schedule, "percentile value" is based on a percentile evaluation of the log ₁₀ normal probability density function of microbiological data used for the assessment under regulation 10.

(2) The appropriate agency must derive a percentile value as follows-

(a) take the log ₁₀ value of all bacterial concentrations in the data sequence to be evaluated or, if a zero value is obtained, take the log ₁₀ value of the minimum detection limit of the analytical method used;

(b) calculate the arithmetic mean ("ï¿½") of the log ₁₀ values taken under paragraph (a);

(c) calculate the standard deviation ("�?") of the log ₁₀ values taken under paragraph (a);

(d) derive the upper 90-percentile point of the data probability density function from the following equation: upper 90-percentile = antilog (ï¿½ + 1.282 �?); and

(e) derive the upper 95-percentile point of the data probability density function from the following equation: upper 95-percentile = antilog (ï¿½ + 1.65 �?).

ClassificationU.K.

3.-(1) At the end of every bathing season, the appropriate agency must classify a bathing water as "poor" if, in the set of bathing water quality data used, the percentile values for microbiological concentrations are higher than the "sufficient" standards set out in paragraph 1.

(2) At the end of every bathing season, the appropriate agency must classify a bathing water as "sufficient" if-

(a) in the set of bathing water quality data, the percentile values for microbiological concentrations are equal to or lower than the "sufficient" standards set out in paragraph 1; and

(b) the bathing water is not classifiable as "good" or "excellent".

(3) At the end of every bathing season, the appropriate agency must classify a bathing water as "good" if-

(a) in the set of bathing water quality data, the percentile values for microbiological concentrations are equal to or lower than the "good" standards set out in paragraph 1; and

(b) the bathing water is not classifiable as "excellent".

(4) At the end of every bathing season, the appropriate agency must classify a bathing water as "excellent" if, in the set of bathing water quality data used, the percentile values for microbiological concentrations are equal to or lower than the "excellent" standards set out in paragraph 1.

These Regulations revoke and replace the Bathing Water Regulations 2008 and implement, in England and Wales only, Directive 2006/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the management of bathing water quality and repealing Directive 76/160/EEC (OJ L64, 4.3.2006, p.37) (“the Bathing Water Directive”). The Bathing Water Directive is available from the Europa website:

Where to collect your water sample on bathing water beaches

# data[].attributes.body
Gower has ongoing water sampling on 8 beaches by NRW in the swimming season. If you are taking samples in one of these beaches, it is important to undertake the sampling at the same location as NRW or in a transect, (line) down the beach from the sample location. See below for the exact location for each bathing beach.
