2. WFD sediment document soon to be published<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>
\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>
When the missing approvals for the use of some of the included illustrations and figures are received, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Common Implementation Strategy (CIS) sediment document is ready for publication.\u00a0
\u00a0
The full title of the document is: \u201cIntegrated sediment management Guidelines and good practices in the context of the Water Framework Directive\u201d.\u00a0
\u00a0
This document was developed with delegated experts from European Union Member States and stakeholder groups (including several SedNet SG members) in the year before the finalisation of the draft WFD River Basin Management Plans for the 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0cycles.\u00a0
\u00a0
Member States are expected to consider the extent to which the recommendations in this document can be included in the context of this cycle and in subsequent steps.\u00a0
\u00a0
The topic of sediment continues to be included in the work program of WFD CIS working group Ecological Status (ECOSTAT) for 2022-2024.\u00a0<\/div>

3. Two-day event organized by the SedNet CE workgroup<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The Circulair Economy Working Group (WG) organized a two-day event on the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0and 6th<\/sup>\u00a0of July.<\/span><\/p>

On the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0of July they\u00a0have worked on the SedNet CE white paper on Circular Economy and Beneficial Use of Sediments. The WG:<\/span><\/p>

– Studied and discussed the recent CEDA, PIANC and UNEP papers on the topic.<\/span><\/p>

– Shared their experience with Circular Economy and Beneficial Use of Sediment projects, agreeing to update the\u00a0CEDA database<\/a>\u00a0with Beneficial Use of sediment projects we are involved in.<\/span><\/p>

– Focussed at relatively new (with regard to legislation) contaminants and their impact on the Beneficial Use of sediment in Europe.<\/span><\/p>


– Expressed the need for a (EU) framework in which sediment has an intrinsic value and not a waste status: the new Soil directive gives an opportunity to reframe the thinking about sediment as a resource.<\/span><\/p>


– Is in the opinion that also the European Green Deal, Farm to fork and Zero Waste policies are important drivers for rethinking the value of sediment and looking at the sources that impact sediment quality and hence often the Beneficial Use of sediment.<\/span><\/p>


– Continues their work over the summer, with a new meeting (Teams) planned in October 2022.<\/span><\/p>


– Will meet in May next year to prepare the white paper to be shared at the SedNet conference in 2023 in Lisbon.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0of July the WG visited the room for the river projects at Tiel with the Rijkswaterstaat. These projects demonstrated that Beneficial Use of Sediment and the increase of safety against flooding can go hand in hand.\u00a0<\/p>

4. Farewell to Marjan and Bruno<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

On the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0and 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0of April the SedNet Steer Group (SG) meeting was organized. During the SG meeting a SedNet Certificate of Appreciation was awarded to Marjan Euser and Bruno Lemiere. The certificate was handed to them by SedNet chairman Marc Eisma for their contribution and dedication to SedNet.\u00a0Marjan ran the SedNet secretariat since 2004 and Bruno has been vice chair for Sednet for many years.\u00a0They were overloaded with compliments and appreciations by the SedNet Steer Group.\u00a0All SG members expressed that they will sincerely going to miss them.\u00a0Both Marjan and Bruno are now enjoying their retirement.<\/p>

DanubeWatch<\/a>\u00a0is the official magazine of ICPDR – International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (See P.9). Including: significant\u00a0gaps exist in the sediment quality sampling, laboratory and evaluation procedures in the Danube Basin; sediments are highly site-specific requiring site-specific monitoring approach; long-term regular sediment quality monitoring at selected key sites is essential; introduction of inter-laboratory trials and regular training on sampling and analysis is an immediate need.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

9. Guidance for engaging actors in natural resources management<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

In the European, Horizon 2020 project<\/span>\u00a0Soil Mission Support<\/a>\u00a0(SMS) an “Actor engagement guide” was prepared under lead of SMS project partner Deltares. It provides guidance on engaging actors in land and soil management.<\/span>

However, the common-sense guidance and principles may be applied generically to \u2018natural resources management\u2019, so including sediment. The guide is publicly available.<\/span>
