The Ministry of Forestry and Water Management of the Czech Socialist Republic provides in an agreement with the relevant authorities of the State Administration pursuant to § 16 paragraph 2 of the Act of the Czech National Council No. 130 / 1974 Coll., on State Administration in the Water Economy:
Determination of water farms
(1) Organisations are required to designate qualified personnel ("water operators") to ensure professional management of water and waste water treatment, if:
(a) collect or otherwise use surface or groundwater, or, where appropriate, for production purposes, water from public pipelines, in total quantities exceeding 1250 m3 per month or over 15 000 m3 per year;
(b) discharges waste or special waters containing, at their origin:
1. pollution characterised by the BSK5 indicator in quantities exceeding 5 tonnes per calendar year;
2. undissolved substances in quantities exceeding 25 tonnes per calendar year;
3. Petroleum substances exceeding 10 mg / l and a total quantity of 5 tonnes per calendar year,
4. dissolved inorganic salts exceeding 1000 mg / l and a total quantity of 50 tonnes per calendar year;
5. substances with apparent acidity or apparent alkalinity exceeding 0,5 mval / l and a total quantity of 500 kg ecv per calendar year,
6. radioactive substances or infected substances (e.g. waste water from infectious wards of hospitals, sanitation, capillaries, vaccine production, etc.),
7.
(2) If the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 are met by an individual plant or operation, the organisation shall also designate a water operator for that plant or operation.
(3) Organisations which collect or otherwise use water for farming purposes are not required to designate water operators, even if they otherwise satisfy the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 (a).
The management bodies and bodies, as well as their central authorities, shall designate a water operator where one of the organisations managed by them has an obligation to designate a water operator pursuant to Paragraph 1.
If useful and not prejudicial to the performance of tasks, the functions of a water operator may be combined with other activities or a water operator may be designated jointly for several plants or operations, or, where appropriate, for individual plants, the water operator of the organisation may be entrusted with that function.
The organisations shall notify the names and workplaces of persons designated as water operators to the water authority responsible for authorising the treatment of waters which establishes an obligation for the organisation to designate water operators and where this obligation is based on the collection of water from the public water supply to the district national committee in whose territory the supply of public water is made; notifications shall also be made when the water operator is changed or redesignated.
Operation of water farms
The water operators designated in accordance with Article 1 shall perform the following tasks in order to ensure the professional management of water and waste water treatment for the organisation, plant or operation for which they have been designated, in particular:
(a) monitor compliance with generally binding legislation issued on the water sector as well as with the decisions of the water authorities;
(b) prepare, design and evaluate water management measures related to the development of production and, where appropriate, changes in technology;
(c) carry out regular technical and economic analyses;
(d) develop proposals to improve water management and improve the quality of waste or special waters discharged;
(e) ensure compliance with and compliance with the current status of the water management of operations, plants or organisations;
(f) continuously monitor and control the status and operation of water management and waste water treatment facilities;
(g) monitor and control water management;
(h) in the event of failure of cleaning equipment or of operational failures which, or may result in, a short-term deterioration in water quality, propose and monitor the implementation of the necessary measures, or implement such measures,
(i) ensure that a water law decision relating to the operation, plant or organisation is available for both water and upper water surveillance.
The water operators designated in accordance with Article 2 shall carry out, in particular, the following tasks in ensuring the professional management of water and waste water treatment for the superior organisation, authority or central authority for which they have been designated:
(a) develop water management and waste water treatment concepts;
(b) methodically manage and control the water operators of subordinate organisations,
(c) regularly evaluate the management of water and waste water treatment for subordinate organisations and carry out the necessary technical and economic analyses;
(d) draw up overall reports on water management;
(e) pursue water-based interests in investment activities.
Water management qualification
(1) The water management may be a worker who has a university or full secondary vocational education in the water, chemical and technological or other related direction, or a full secondary general education, supplemented by a specialised course for water operators. The degree of required education shall be determined by the organisation in proportion to the nature of the workplace for which the water operator is designated. In assessing another relative direction, account shall be taken of the nature of the workplace for which the water operator is designated and of the full curriculum of the school.
(2) Exceptionally, a worker who has only a full secondary general education may also be designated as a water management worker if, within 3 years of his designation, he has completed a specialised course for the water operator.
(3) Waterkeepers are required to continuously complement their knowledge on the water management and protection sectors.
Workers who, at the date of application of this Decree, performed the functions of water operator in accordance with the regulations currently in force shall be deemed to be eligible to perform the duties of water operator even if they do not meet the requirements of education under Section 7.
Transitional and final provisions
(1) The first notification pursuant to Article 4 must be made by the organisation within 6 months of the date of application of this decree; otherwise within 15 days of the date of designation of the water operator.
(2) The organisation of the agricultural production sector shall designate the water operator referred to in Article 1 by 1 January 1978 at the latest. This is without prejudice to the obligation for the sector to determine the water operator referred to in Article 2 for the management of the management organisation and their central authorities as soon as one of the management organisations fulfils the conditions for the designation of the water operator referred to in Article 1.
The duties of the organisations under this decree shall be carried out by military services, economic organisations and economic organisations in the field of the Federal Ministry of Defence under a special statute.
For the territory of the Czech Socialist Republic, the directive of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management no. 68 880 / 73- 1961 and the Ministry of Health no.
