Summary
In 2015 NIVA has performed operational environmental monitoring in the coastal water bodies Vatsfjord and Yrkjefjorden commissioned by AF Environmental Base Vats (AFMBV). The monitoring was conducted according to the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and had been approved by the Norwegian Environment Agency. AFMBV is located at Raunes in Vindafjord municipality in Rogaland and is a plant for the recycling of decommissioned oil installations. The reported monitoring consisted of chemical monitoring of EUs priority pollutants and river basin specific substances in sediments and marine biota (mussels, cod and plaice) from the two water bodies. Biological quality elements are not included in the study. Supplemental data from other environmental monitoring at AFMBV (emission monitoring, well water monitoring and surveillance of NORM) are included in the present report.
