copper

zinc

organosilicon compounds

cyanides

fluorides

pesticides and their by-products not covered in Annex I.

ANNEX III

Provisions to be considered in establishing criteria governing theissue of permits for the dumping of matter at sea， taking into accountArticle IV （2）， include：

A-Characteristics and composition of the matter

1. Total amount and average composition of matter dumped （e.g. peryear）。

2. Form， e. g. solid， sludge， liquid， or gaseous.

3. Properties： physical （e.g. solubility and density）， chemical andbiochemical （e.g. oxygen demand， nutrients） and biological （e.g. presenceof viruses， bacteria， yeasts， parasites）。

4. Toxicity.

5. Persistence： physical， chemical and biological.

6. Accumulation and bio-transformation in biological materials orsediments.

7. Susceptibility to physical， chemical and biochemical changes andinteraction in the aquatic environment with other dissolved organic andinorganic materials.

8. Probability of production of taints or other changes reducingmarketability of resource （fish， shellfish， etc.）

B-Characteristics of dumping site and method of deposit

1. Location （e.g. co-ordinates of the dumping area， depth and distancefrom the coast）， location in relation to other areas （e.g. amenity areas，spawning， nursery and fishing areas and exploitable resources）。

2. Rate of disposal per specific period （e.g. quantity per day， perweek， per month）。

3. Methods of packaging and containment， if any.

4. Initial dilution achieved by proposed method of release.

5. Dispersal characteristics （e.g. effects of currents， tides and windon horizontal transport and vertical mixing）。

6. Water characteristics （e.g. temperature， pH， salinity，stratification， oxygen indices of pollution-dissolved oxygen demand （BOD）-nitrogen present in organic and mineral form including ammonia， suspendedmatter， other nutrients and productivity）。

7. Bottom characteristics （e.g. topography， geochemical and geologicalcharacteristics and biological productivity）。

8. Existence and effects of other dumpings which have been made in thedumping area （e.g. heavy metal background reading and organic carboncontent）。

9. In issuing a permit for dumping， Contracting Parties shouldconsider whether an adequate scientific basis exists for assessing theconsequences of such dumping， as outlined in this Annex， taking intoaccount seasonal variations.

C-General considerations and conditions

1. Possible effects on amenities （e.g. presence of floating orstranded material， turbidity， objectionable odour， discoloration andfoaming）。

2. Possible effects on marine life， fish and shellfish culture， fishstocks and fisheries， seaweed harvesting and culture.

3. Possible effects on other uses of the sea （e.g. impairment of waterquality for industrial use， underwater corrosion of structures，interference with ship operations from floating materials， interferencewith fishing or navigation through deposit of waste or solid objects onthe sea floor and protection of areas of special importance for scientificor conservation purposes）。

4. The practical availability of alternative land-based methods oftreatment， disposal or elimination， or of treatment to render the matterless harmful for dumping at sea.
