Step 5: Assessment of the effects of the measures

In Step 5 an assessment of the effects of the possible management options/measures takes place. Once the possible alternative measures have been defined (the result of Step 4), it is necessary to determine which categories of effects need to be taken into account in order to decide on the most appropriate selection method (Step 6). The assessment of the effects is at least a calculation/estimation of the Costs of Compliance and of the performance of the measure: primarily the reduction in PS concentration, but also the effect on other substances can be regarded.
