Review of the data reporting cycle for the Environmental Noise Directive

Núria Blanes and Jaume Fons ETCLUSI / UAB

Eionet National Reference Centres for Noise – Copenhagen, 7th – 8th October

NOISE – Noise Observation and Information Service for Europe

Directive 2002/49/EC on environmental noise

To the MS…• ... designate the competent

authorities and bodies responsible for implementing this Directive...

• ... apply the noise indicators Lden and Lnight for the preparation and revision of strategic noise mapping...

• ... ensure that strategic noise maps have been made for...

• ... ensure that competent authorities have drawn up action plans...

• ...ensure that the information from strategic noise maps and summaries of the action plans is delivered to the Commission

Where it is requested…

To the Commission…• ... establish common

assessment methods...• ... set up a database of

information on strategic noise maps

• ... publish a summary report of data from strategic noise maps and action plans every five years....

• ... submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of this Directive...

So… what do you do, then?

• Transpose the Environmental Noise Directive to national law

• Start to produce noise data:– Source identification and localisation – Determine competent authorities– Establish noise limit values– Develop strategic noise maps– Drawn up Noise Action plans

• Send this data to the European Commission

And… what do we do, then?

• Comparison of the different calculation methods (JRC)

• Proposal to establish common calculation methods (DG ENV and JRC)

• Proposal to harmonise the way to report noise data (EEA)

• Quality check of the data delivered (ETCLUSI)• Compilation into the European noise database

(ETCLUSI)• Provide a content management system to report the

data (EEA)• Dissemination (EEA and ETCLUSI)• Compliance with the law (DG ENV)

So… putting a timeline

2003 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 …END

MS Reporting Obligations

Noise sources – 1st round, competent authorities and limit values (DF1, DF2, DF3)

Strategic noise maps (DF4)

Noise sources – 2nd round, control programmes and action plans (DF5, DF6, DF7)

Noise sources – 1st round update (DF1)

END Reporting Mechanism (Relational database)

Reportnet - DF5, DF6, DF7(Common Repository + Automatic QC rules)

Improvements in Reportnet – DF1+ Adaptation to C-NOSSOS outcomes

Microsoft Excel template to report data (not longer applicable)

Reporting System improvements

Data harmonisation

2003 – 2005 periodFirst spreadsheet templates where provided to the MS

MS send them to the EC and EC uploaded into CIRCA, communicating the delivery by e-mail to EEA and to ETCLUSI

• Data delivered in December 2005:– Dataflow 1: Major noise sources– Dataflow 2: Competent Authorities– Dataflow 3: Noise limit values

• Repository:– CIRCA

Which data has been sent?

2003 – 2005 period

Which is the status of these dataflows?

Major noise sources – 2005

Competent authorities - 2005

Noise limit values - 2005

• Basic quality check consisting on:– Timeliness– Adoption of the template provided– Completeness of the data delivered

• Outcome of the quality check: – QC Report – Detailed list of areas where noise strategic maps

will be developed

Which quality check has been done?

2003 – 2005 period

• Main problems encountered:– Data sent to the Commission with different

formats (modification of templates) and through different means (e-mail, fax, CD/DVD,…)

– Difficulties in establishing the control of the data delivered and of the data updates in CIRCA

– Impossibility to collect the data in a systematic way

– Language– Data quality (empty cells, completeness of the

data)– GIS data nearly not delivered

Problems / advantages encountered

• Outcomes of the quality check: – QC Report – European Noise Database– Noise Reference Layer


2006 – 2007 period

• Main advantages: – Data to be delivered standardized in a data model– Establishment of a codification system– Data can be collected in a systematic way if no

modifications are done in the spreadsheet templates

• Main problems encountered:– Modification of the spreadhseet templates no

systematic collection of the data– Difficulties in establishing the control of the data

delivered and of the data updates in CIRCA– Language– Data quality (empty cells, completeness of the

data, meaningless values, hundreds,…)– ENDRM recommended but not obligatory

Data harmonisation

2008 – 2010 periodThe ENDRM is implemented in Reportnet

(content management system of the EEA)

MS download the templates, fill in with the data, upload the templates and run an automatic quality check the delivery of the corresponding data is done.

• Data delivered in December 2008 / January 2009 / June 2010:– Dataflow 5: All noise sources– Dataflow 6: Noise control programmes– Dataflow 7: Noise Action Plans– Dataflow 1 update: Major noise sources

• Repository:– Reportnet– CIRCA


2008 – 2010 period

Which is the status of these dataflows?

Deliveries up to 30 September 2010

All noise sources (30/09/2010)

Noise control programmes (30/09/2010)

Noise Action Plans (30/09/2010)

• Automatic quality check done in Reportnet• Manual quality check:

– Timeliness– Adoption of the template provided– Unique codes between different dataflows or updates– Deliveries

• Manual processing– Spatial information

• Outcome of the quality check:– QC Reports – Noise Reference Layer version 2 (containing all

sources)


2008 – 2010 period


2008 – 2010 period

• Main advantages: – Standardized format to report the data– Data dictionary and automatic QC (immediate

preliminary feedback)– Reportnet allows for an adequate control of the

data delivered – Data can be collected and QC in a systematic way

if no modifications are done in the spreadsheet templates

• Main problems encountered:– Spatial data delivery and process– Duplication of reports (Reportnet /CIRCA)– ENDRM and Reportnet recommended but not

obligatory
