- Abstract: Requirements on the monitoring of urban and some industrial wastewaters for the payment of the discharge tax to the State are presented in this contribution. Several decrees that regulate this field were adopted in the years 1996 and 1998. Requirements from these decrees and our experience from the monitoring of the technical operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are explained. Some data on the maximal permitted concentration of pollutants discharged in a watercourse and collecting system are reviewed. Requirements on the degrees of treatment in municipal WWTPs are discussed. A comparison between the requirements of our legislation and that of Germany and the EU for the quality of the discharges from municipal WWTPs is also presented.
