Article R2224-13 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

In wastewater agglomerations whose population and economic activities produce wastewater with a gross organic pollution load of more than 120 kg per day, the treatment mentioned in article R. 2224-11 is biological treatment with secondary decantation or treatment with equivalent purifying power.

However, wastewater treated at altitudes of more than 1,500 metres may be subject to less stringent treatment than that prescribed in the first paragraph, provided that it is established that the discharges do not adversely affect the environment.

Article R2224-13

Dans les agglomérations d’assainissement dont la population et les activités économiques produisent des eaux usées dont la charge brute de pollution organique est supérieure à 120 kg par jour, le traitement mentionné à l’article R. 2224-11 est un traitement biologique avec décantation secondaire ou un traitement ayant un pouvoir épuratoire équivalent.

Toutefois, les eaux usées dont le traitement s’effectue à plus de 1 500 mètres d’altitude peuvent faire l’objet d’un traitement moins rigoureux que celui prescrit au premier alinéa, à condition qu’il soit établi que les rejets n’altèrent pas l’environnement.
