Algorithm 6. Agglomeration: UWWTP Compliance for Article 4, 5, and 6#

Overview#

Determines the compliance status (NR, NC, PD, C) based on:

treatment requirements,
treatment in place,
COD/BOD performance,
deadlines,
and country-specific rules.

Simplified Logic#

1. No wastewater collected or treatment not required (NR)#

Directly mark compliance NR for all articles
(exit_leaf = 06-01)

2. Treatment required is Primary#

For all countries except PT all compliance = NR
- (06-21)
If compliance = C →
- Art6 = C, Art4/5 = NR
- (06-02)
Else →
- Check if Portugal then Art.6 deadline vs reporting year (C or NC or PD)
- (06-02 / 06-04)

3. Treatment required is Secondary#

Primary treatment in place →
- Check Art.4 deadline (NC / PD)
- (06-05 / 06-06)
Secondary or stringent treatment in place →
- Check COD/BOD performance → check Art.4 deadline (C, NC, PD)
- (06-07 → 06-09)
Treatment not in place →
- Fallback to deadline checks and more stringent rules
- (06-10 → 06-11)

4. Treatment required is More stringent treatment for N and/or P and/or other parameters#

More stringent treatment in place →
- Check COD/BOD performance →
- If pass → check Art.5 deadline (C, NC, PD)
- (06-15 → 06-17)
If fail →
- Check Art.4 and Art.5 deadlines (C, NC, PD)
- (06-18 → 06-20)
Treatment not in place →
- Fallback to deadline checks for Art.4 and Art.5 and rules
- (06-12 → 06-14)
