Compliance monitoring - it is the one checking the relevance of water quality and level of discharges against certain norms (governmentally established. Condition monitoring - specifically relates to the conservation objectives and favourable conservation status. Harmful activity - any activity which is capable of causing significant adverse effect on the environment including effects on human health and safety, flora, fauna, soil, air, water, climate, landscape and historical monuments or other physical structures or the interaction among these factors; they also include effects on the cultural heritage or socio-economic conditions resulting from alterations to those factors; Emission - any kind of discharges, effluents or releases of polluting substances into the water, air or soil. Emission controls - controls requiring a specific emission limitation, for instance an emission limit value, or otherwise specifying limits or conditions on the effects, nature or other characteristics of an emission or operating conditions which affect emissions. Emission limit values - the mass, expressed in terms of certain specific parameters, concentration or level of an emission, which may not be exceeded during any one or more periods of time. The emission limit values for substances shall normally apply at the point where the emissions leave the installation, dilution being disregarded when
