4 1. Introduction The final designation of Heavily Modified Water Bodies (HMWB) is required by the EU Water Framework Directive s (WFD) Article 4 and has to be part of national as well as international River Basin Management Plans As an outcome of the meetings of the Task Group for Hydromorphology (HYMO TG) and the River Basin Management Expert Group (RBM EG), the preparation of a joint and harmonized approach to undertaking the final designation of HMWBs for the Danube River was agreed. The harmonized approach presented in this document is based on both Joint Danube Survey 2 (JDS2) data and available WFD-compliant status assessment results. The Standing Working Group was informed about this agreement in June 2008 by the RBM EG and supported the exercise. The procedure on the final HMWB designation was also discussed with the Monitoring and Assessment Expert Group (MA EG): they agreed on the approach and supported all necessary information. The RBM EG and HYMO TG mandated the ICPDR Secretariat to elaborate this document together with the HYMO TG chairperson, specifically elaborating the criteria and a proposal for the final HMWB designation for the Danube River to be discussed with the Danube countries in the framework of the HYMO TG and RBM EG. The proposal should follow the requirements of the WFD and the respective European Commission (EC) CIS 2 guidance on HMWB designation. The results of the joint approach will be compared with the national final HMWB designation for harmonization. The final HMWB designation was performed by the Danube countries and reported to the EC. The exercise should support the countries in the process toward the final HMWB designation and ensure the harmonized designation of the Danube River for the international DRBM Plan. As a first step, this document proposes draft criteria for the joint approach toward a harmonised HMWB designation according to WFD Article 4(3). As soon as the criteria have been agreed upon, the ICPDR Secretariat and the HYMO TG will prepare a proposal for the final HMWB designation for the Danube River based on the agreed criteria and the (WFD-compliant) data available. Results of this joint exercise will be discussed in the framework of the HYMO TG, at the RBM EG meetings and in the framework of the MA EG. 2 EC Common Implementation Strategy ICPDR / International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River /

5 2. Step-by-step approach The joint approach for a final HMWB designation for the Danube River is based on some basic principles and a step-by-step approach, which is briefly described below Basic principles for the joint final HMWB designation for the Danube River The joint and harmonised HMWB designation for the Danube River will be based on JDS2 data (hydromorphological assessment results, biological monitoring results, status indications) and available WFD-compliant status assessment results (TNMN data, national monitoring assessment results if provided by the countries). The principle of three confidence classes (high, medium and low confidence) for ecological monitoring assessment results as agreed by the MA EG will be applied. Only those water bodies, which, with high confidence, fail good ecological status due to hydromorphological alterations resulting in a change of character, can be considered for a final HMWB designation Step-by-step approach for the joint final HMWB designation for the Danube River The step-by-step approach should ensure a joint understanding of the respective Danube countries throughout the entire exercise of the joint/harmonised approach. It consists of two components: 1. Development of criteria for the final HMWB designation for the Danube River; 2. Performance of the joint final HMWB designation based on the agreed criteria Development of criteria for the final HMWB designation for the Danube River Step 1: Development of criteria for the joint final HMWB designation of the Danube River water bodies When criteria for the final HMWB designation for the Danube River (according to Art. 4(3) of the WFD) are developed, it is necessary to firstly clarify which water bodies should undergo the Art. 4(3) test. Therefore the following question has to be answered: When is a surface water body not only significantly impacted but changed in character due to hydromorphological alterations?. This refers directly to the required WFD Article 4(3) test, which is adapted to the conditions of the Danube River in this proposal. Step 1a: Criteria: for which water bodies can the WFD Article 4 (3) test be applied? 3 Proposal: The water body is: Significantly physically altered (not only in hydrology but also in morphology). This has lead to a change in character: the alteration is profound, widespread and permanent (according to the HMWB guidance) and Fails good ecological status. This has to be proven with high confidence (= the biological monitoring result is based on a WFD-compliant assessment method and is less than good). 3 Precondition according to the WFD (as mentioned in 2.1): high confidence in failing good status due to hydromorphological changes which lead to a change in character. ICPDR / International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River /

6 Step 1b: Criteria: which main measures would be needed to restore good ecological status? Measures are proposed for types of pressures and impacts that are of relevance for the Danube River. Listed below are pressure/impact types that are assumed to alter hydromorphological character specifically for the Danube River: i. Impoundments (Driver: hydropower generation use). ii. Water abstraction (Driver: hydropower generation use. Regarding the Danube River relevant only for the Gabcikovo Hydropower Plant). iii. Water level fluctuation >1m or <1m/day but significant for failing good ecological status (Driver: hydropower generation use). iv. Continuity interruption (Driver: hydropower generation use). v. Disconnection of groundwater (Driver: Hydropower generation use). vi. Channel patterns, riparian zone (banks), flow pattern - riverine anthropogenic uses with respect to bank and channel structure, lateral disconnection (wetlands/floodplains; groundwater bodies), river bed deepening (through hydropower and dredging) (Drivers: flood protection, navigation etc.) Step 1c: Criteria: which of these main measures would have a significant impact on specific uses/ the wider environment? Step 1d: Criteria: when is a better environmental option not applicable due to technical feasibility and disproportionate cost? Flow diagrams illustrate the steps of the WFD Article 4(3) test in the form of decision trees for each pressure/impact type relevant for the Danube River (see Chapter 3). The diagrams should serve the clear reconstruction of the WFD Article 4(3) steps and thereby facilitate review through the Danube countries. Step 2: Step 3: Comments and revision of the above criteria for the WFD Article 4(3) test The above proposal and its criteria were open for comments by the Danube countries and have been revised accordingly. Integration of received comments and finalisation of above criteria as agreed by the countries Discussion and further development of the proposal at the 4 th HYMO TG meeting and the 27 th RBM EG meeting Performance of the joint final HMWB designation based on the agreed criteria Step 5: Elaboration of the proposal for general water body delineation for the Danube River based on JDS2 hydromorphological findings. Discussion of delineation with the Danube countries agreement on water bodies. The HYMO TG will discuss at its 4 th meeting if a revision of the water body delineation of the Danube River according to the HYMO results of JDS2 and other available status assessment results is needed to perform the joint final HMWB designation of the Danube ICPDR / International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River /

7 River. If so, the HYMO TG will elaborate criteria on when and how to transparently revise the water body delineation for the Danube River as the basis for the HMWB designation. 4 The final delineation of water bodies will be performed by the Danube countries and reported to the EC. Step 6: Elaboration of a proposal for the joint and final designation of HMWB for the Danube River water bodies by applying the agreed criteria Based on the previous steps, the joint and harmonised designation of HMWB in the Danube River will be performed. All results and comparison with the national HMWB designations of the Danube River will be discussed with and between the Danube countries in the framework of the HYMO TG, RBM EG and MA EG in order to complete the harmonised approach. 3. Flow Diagrams - WFD Article 4(3) HMWB test for the Danube River The flow diagrams of this chapter illustrate the steps of the WFD Article 4(3) test using decision trees for each pressure/impact type relevant to the Danube River. The diagrams should provide a clear reconstruction of the WFD Article 4(3) steps and thereby facilitate review through the Danube countries. 4 E.g. The water body delineation can be based on JDS2 HYMO evaluation stretches (stretches qualified as being not good according to JDS 2 (continuous longitudinal hydromorphological assessment) and is estimated to fail good ecological status; definition minimum length of water body for the Danube River.
