1 Water and Sanitation Safety Planning Jarkko Rapala Ministry of Social Affairs and Health FINLAND

2 BWSP Holistic Approach for the Water Cycle: from source through tap and back SSP SEWERAGE AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT Land Use, Planning Protection of Water Sources Water Treatment, Delivery Construction, Renovation, Building Maintenance WATER ABSTRACTION AND SUPPLY WSP

3 Tools of the WSP Software Hazard identification tool - 38 process steps predefined hazardous events and hazard combinations Risk management tool - Examples of control measures and management - Health risk assessment tool Auditing tool Model documents The same software used for the SSP - Management of risks for health and environment

4 Is there sewage sewage pumping stations in the catchment area? Explanation of the hazardous event Hazard Consequence Probability Risk (Low, M1-3, H1-4)

5 Control measure 1 in use (green) Control measure 2 not in use (brown)

6 340 predifined questions to identify hazards and control measures Other contract parties Odor Connection point Sewer system Pumping stations Overflow structure Inflow structure Sewerage well structures External sludge or organic fractions Odor Overflow point Wastewater treatment plant Odor Sewage lorry Sewage station Odor Sludge treatment External sludge or organic waste Effluent structures Noise Odor emission Biogas treatment Gas utilization Odor Effluent point A r e a o f I n f l u e n c e Support function: operation premises, automation, electricity, compressed air, tap water, sampling, working methods, professional skills, communications, data security, management etc

7 Output of WSP and SSP Improvment Plan Monitoring Plan Identification of interfaces with emergency and contingency planning

8 Nature protection areas Supervision of teh environment Collaboration of the relevant parties COLLABORATION Water intake Transportation Water treatment Storage Distribution COLLABORATION Materials Installations Competence Interfaces with Emergency/Contingency Planning Fail in control measures defined in WSP/SSP emergency situation Relevant Parties, including the authorities Sustainable use of natural resources, Protection of the water sources Water Supplier Risk management in water supply abstraction and supply chain Buildings Security of the installations, including materials PREPAREDNESS/EMERGENCY/CONTINGENCY PLANNING Water Services, Environmental Health, Rescue Administration

9 The percentage of predefined hazardous events and hazard combinations (N=881) in WSP that can only be controlled if collaboration between different stakeholders exists

10 Success Factors 1/2 1. Collaboration between drinking water supplier / wastewater treatment operator, authorities and stakeholders suggested WSP/SSP team members of the operator environmental protection authority health protection authority authorities for construction and land use rescue authority stakeholders with environment permit (e.g. industry that may pose a threat to environment) stakeholders with requirement of particularly high quality drinking water (e.g. food industry) environment permit for wastewater operator risk assessment required by the authority no common tool prior to SSP

11 Success Factors 2/2 2. Coordination of monitoring programmes and planning Improvement and Monitoring Plans as outputs from WSP/SSP integration and coordination into/with authorities plans identification of possible emergency situations 3. Regular auditing of WSP/SSP cross-auditing by operators or other external audit content of the WSP/SSP auditing by authorities: has WSP/SSP been done and updated? have improvement and monitoring plans been followed? documentation 4. Common exercises

12 Major Gaps Too many stakeholders? NO, if the objectives are consistent, based on risk assessment and mutually accepted Mutual trust? POSSIBLE, if there is no prior collaboration Legislative differences in objectives e.g. microbiological factors are [the most] important for human health but they are not considered in classification by WFD

13 Statutory in National Legislation in Finland Emergency planning based on risk assessment Collaboration in preparation of the plans operators, authorities, other stakeholders Cordination of the plans and common and regular exercises Risk assessment in the environment permit wastewater operators other operations that may cause hazard for the environment WSP and SSP (non-statutory) offer the tool for the risk assessment
