Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): List of rivers classified list 1 in Sarthe

Procedure for classification L 214-17 of the Environmental Code The decrees classifying rivers as List 1 and List 2 under Article L.214-17 of the Environmental Code were signed on 10 July 2012 by the Loire-Bretagne Basin Coordinating Prefect and published in the Official Journal on 22 July. The procedure conducted by the Loire-Bretagne Basin Coordinating Prefect was launched in April 2010. This new ranking of watercourses contributes to the implementation of the Sdage 2010-2015, integrating the challenges linked to ecological continuity and framing the various European regulations. The definition of this new classification was first marked by departmental consultations with water stakeholders and a study of the impact of classifications on uses, which enabled us to understand the economic and environmental costs and benefits, both commercial and non-market, brought by the classification. As a second step, and after harmonisation at basin level, the draft classification was submitted for consultation with the General Councils, the Regions, the Regional Public Establishments of Basin and the Local Water Commissions.
