The profile of bathing waters classified, pursuant to article D. 1332-27, as being of “good”, “sufficient” or “insufficient” quality, must be reviewed regularly in order to update it. The frequency and extent of the reviews must be adapted to the nature, frequency and seriousness of the pollution risks to which the bathing water is exposed.
A revision shall be carried out which provides for a re-examination of all the elements of the profile at least:
-every four years for bathing waters classified as being of “good” quality;
-every three years for bathing waters classified as being of “sufficient” quality;
-every two years for bathing waters classified as being of “insufficient” quality.
The profile of a bathing water previously classified as “excellent” only needs to be reviewed and, if necessary, updated if the classification is changed to “good”, “sufficient” or “poor”. The review must cover all elements of the profile.
In the event of major construction work or significant changes to infrastructure at or near bathing areas, the bathing water profile must be updated before the start of the next bathing season.
The updates and revisions of the profiles provided for in this article are sent to the mayor and the director general of the regional health agency under the conditions laid down in article D. 1332-21.
