For the purposes of aligning the Cypriot legislative frame with Council Directive 86/278/EEC on the protection of the environment, and in particular of the soil, when sewage sludge is used in agriculture, the present Regulations are made pursuant to article 34 of the Water Pollution Control Law of 2002. The purpose of these Regulations is to regulate the use of sewage sludge in agriculture in such a way as to prevent harmful effects on soil, vegetation, animals and man, thereby encouraging the correct use of such sewage sludge. The Annexes to the text of these Regulations lay down limit values for concentrations of heavy metals in the soil, in sludge and for the maximum annual quantities of heavy metals which may be introduced into the soil. The use of sludge, where the concentration of one or more heavy metals in the soil exceeds these limit values, shall be prohibited (regulation No. 6). The reference methods for sampling and analysis are indicated in Annex D. The Minister shall be responsible for the monitoring of the soil status and shall provide the European Commission with information related therewith.

Implements: Council Directive 86/278/EEC on the protection of the environment, and in particular of the soil, when sewage sludge is used in agriculture. (1986-07-04)
