UK Environmental Standards and Conditions (Phase 2)

A technical report on proposals for a first set of standards and conditions was published for review in 2006. The revised report was issued in August 2006 in the form of a recommendation to the UK governments. The UKTAG updated the report in November 2007.  Sections in that report on nutrients in lakes and coastal waters were removed. The updated sections are in this present report.  This document is the UKTAG's proposals for a second set of standards and conditions. This
too defines environmental conditions that the UKTAG views as supporting healthy communities of aquatic plants and animals. The standards and conditions will help focus efforts to protect the water environment.
