Classification of bathing areas

The legislation concerning bathing waters (D.lgs. 116/2008 and D.M. 30/05/2010) sets 4 quality categories for bathing waters:

• excellent
• good
• sufficient
• poor

By the end of the 2015 bathing season all waters shall be classified at least as "sufficient". However, bathing waters may temporarily be classified as "poor". In such cases, Regions shall take the following measures taken with effect from the bathing season that follows its classification:

• adequate management measures, including a bathing prohibition, with a view to preventing bathers´ exposure to pollution;
• identification of the causes and reasons for the failure to achieve "sufficient" quality status;
• adequate measures to prevent, reduce or eliminate the causes of pollution;
• alerting the public by a clear and simple warning sign and informing them of the causes of the pollution and measures taken, on the basis of the bathing water profile.

If a bathing water is classified as "poor" for five consecutive years, a permanent bathing prohibition shall be introduced. However, the Region may introduce a permanent bathing prohibition before the end of the five-year period if it considers that the achievement of "sufficient" quality would be infeasible or disproportionately expensive.

 

Classification

Available classifications are mainly based using data according to the former legislation (Dpr 470/82). D.lgs. 116/2008 (article 16, point 3) defines the equivalence between Fecal streptococci and fecal enterococci and between fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli.

Period 2009-2012

For bathing season 2013 the quality of bathing water of Emilia-Romagna is "excellent" along the entire coast. The classification is based on data collected in the period 2009-2012. The tables below are also available for comparison with previous classifications (2008-2011 and 2007-2010).

• Classification bathing waters in the province of Ferrara
• Classification bathing waters in the province of Ravenna
• Classification bathing waters in the province of Forlì-Cesena
• Classification bathing waters in the province of Rimini

It should be noted that starting from 2013 season the number of bathing waters in the province of Rimini has been reduced from 47 to 37 as provided in the resolutions of the Provincial Government (DGP 266/2012).
