geographically restricted exceptional provisions insofar as the responsible authority can
prove that this will not result in any detriment to the balanced development of fish

suitable for such species. |

(1) The artificial changes in the pH value with respect to the non-impaired values must not be more than *0.5 pH units in the range between 6.0 and 9.0 so that these changes do not increase the harmfulness of other substances in the water.
(2) The compounds containing phenol must not be present in such concentrations that they impair the flavour of the fish.
(3) The oil hydrocarbons must not be present in the water in such quantities that they:
- form a visible film on the surface of the water or form a layer on the bed of watercourses and lakes;
- harm the fish.(4) The Member States may stipulate values in excess of 1 mg/l in the case of special geographical or climatic conditions particularly in the event of low water temperatures and reduced nitrification or if the responsible authorities can prove that there will be no detrimental consequences for the balanced development of the fish stocks.
General note:
It should be noted that when establishing the parameter values, it was assumed that the parameters considered in this annex/other parameters not considered are favourable. This means above all that the concentrations for other harmful substances are very weak.
If two or more harmful substances occur simultaneously in the form of a mixture, joint effects (additive, synergetic or antagonistic) may become significant.
