normal water body with PE more than 10,000 – analyse for BOD and COD
sensitive water body with PE more than 10,000 – analyse for BOD and COD, P and N
Sampling frequency
The frequency of sampling for a discharge is based on the WWTW PE.

PE 2,000 to 9,999
Take at least 12 samples in the first year of sampling and 4 samples in other years.

However, you must take at least 12 samples in a calendar year if any of the following occur in the previous calendar year:

failure of a numeric limit
an individual LUT exceedance of a limit
failure to collect and report all results for the number of samples required
These limits are set out in this guide.

You must take weekend samples:

once a year where you take 12 samples per year
once every 3 years where you take 4 samples per year
PE 10,000 to 49,999
Take at least 12 samples every year. One of these samples must be taken at a weekend.

Could you please confirm your PE thresholds for sample data.
How many samples have been recorded for the year 2023 and how many for 2024 to date and the results of these samples please.

Yours faithfully,

William Howells
