Water

Coastal bathing area with oceanic and climatic context influenced by Atlantic conditions. The site has hydrogeological characteristics and littoral morphology typical of the Loire-Atlantique coast.

Location

Saint Michel Chef Chef, Loire-Atlantique, France. Part of the Pornic communes community.

Season

Surveillance conducted under European Directive 2006/7/CE with classification implementation beginning 2013, based on analysis results from the preceding four years.

Water Quality

Water quality is assessed using bacteriological parameters: E. coli and intestinal enterococci. Classification follows European Directive 2006/7/CE standards with thresholds: E. coli guide level 250 nb/100 ml and imperative level 500 nb/100 ml; enterococci guide level 100 nb/100 ml and imperative level 200 nb/100 ml. Four quality categories apply from 2013: excellent, good, sufficient, and insufficient.

Risks

Potential pollution sources identified including wastewater network discharges, rainwater discharge events, treated water discharge from Princetière wastewater treatment station, and overflow from sewage pumping stations. Risk of macro-algae and phytoplankton proliferation. Hydrodynamic modelling was conducted to assess potential pollution risk to the beach.
