Classification of rivers as list 1 and 2 (under Article L214-17 of the Environmental Code) in Corrèze

N_PECHE_CLASSEMENT_L_019 Classification of rivers as list 1 and 2 (under Article L214-17 of the Environmental Code) in Corrèze An Ecological Continuity Classification corresponds to all or part of a course or channel identified in an order made by the Basin Coordinating Prefect pursuant to Article L.214-17 of the Environmental Code. The classification into list 1 (1° of § I of Article L. 214-17 of the Environmental Code) is intended to protect certain rivers from degradation and allows a long-term preservation objective to be displayed. They cancel, replace, and complete the classification as “reserved rivers” under the 1919 Act. List 2 (2° of § 1 of Article L. 214-17 of the Environmental Code), annuls, replaces and supplements the concept of ‘rivers classified’ under L. 432-6 of the Environmental Code, must make it possible to ensure quickly that existing works are compatible with the objectives of ecological continuity. The founding regulatory text of an Ecological Continuity Classification is the classification order signed by the Basin Coordinating Prefect in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article R.214-10 of the Environmental Code providing for departmental consultation of classification projects before validation by the Basin Coordinating Prefect. The classification of rivers in respect of the crossing of migrants is carried out under 2° (list 2) of Article L.214-17-I of the Environmental Code for the criterion “courses for which it is necessary to ensure the circulation of migratory fish (amphihalins or not)”. * On rivers in List 1, any new work, regardless of its use (hydroelectric or not) may not be authorised or granted. List 1 is the counterpart of reserved streams. However, in relation to reserved watercourses, List 1 does not limit the prohibition to new water companies but prohibits the establishment of any new works regardless of their use. With list 1, existing construction is possible. However, requirements apply to any development or renewal of a concession or authorisation in order not to degrade the status of the watercourse, to achieve the objectives of good status or very good status of the watercourse set by the SDAGE (the Master Plan for Water Management and Management), and to ensure, for watercourses where there is a need, the protection of migratory fish. * On List 2 streams, all works must be managed, maintained and equipped to allow sufficient sediment transport and migratory fish circulation within 5 years of the publication of the Order. List 2 is the counterpart of rivers classified under Article L432-6 of the Environmental Code. However, in relation to classified streams, List 2 adds that the works on these courses in addition to being transparent to fish must be transparent to sediments. ATTENTION * Some streams or stream sections may be on both lists. * The old classifications (reserved rivers and rivers classified under Article L432-6 of the Environmental Code) are now obsolete.
