MAMPECInnovation Programme
Samenvatting project
MAMPEC is an integrated hydrodynamic and chemical fate model commonly used for environmental risk assessment of biocides from antifouling paints and contaminants from ballast water treatment installations. The model and software have been developed and maintained by Deltares since 1999, in cooperation with the Institute for Environmental Studies of the VU University in Amsterdam (until September 2014). The model development and maintenance has been sponsored since 1997 mainly by the European Paint industry (CEPE the European Council of the Paint Industry). A request for sponsoring a new 2.5 year innovative work program including some support and further development (2016-2018) has been approved by CEPE in the fall of 2016.
The final year of this programme has been earmarked for model innovation. Here, CEPEand Deltares propose a joint project to develop and apply more advanced approaches, to conduct validation studies (review of field studies and advanced modeling) and to publish data on the model and applications and hence broaden the
applicability of MAMPEC to potential new fields (fish farming, offshore wind parks). It offers an excellent possibility to further validate and strengthen MAMPEC, to develop new innovative options for higher tier risk assessments and to expand dissemination activities (publications, webinar and regular course).
Doel van het project
The objective of the current project is to develop and deliver a new and improvedversion of MAMPECmeeting new probabilistic requirements in risk assessment andnew options for multiple scenario management and new scenarios for new fields ofapplication (fish farming offshore wind parks). This will fit better to the needs andquestions of the painting industry and regulatory agencies and thus contribute to abetter management of enV!fOnmenta! risks of biocides in the aquatic environment.
Motivatie
MAMPECis being adapted on a regular basis to the changing needs of the regulatoryrisk assessment of biocides in antifouling paints. In the most recent version (v3.12016) new environmental scenarios for marinas were introduced following thediscussions and decisions in meetings of member states and competent authoritieswith input from industry and other stakeholders on the implementation of theBiocidal Product Regulation (EU s28/2012/EC). In addition hydrodynamic andphotolysis modules were updated to meet current standards. Current approaches inthe risk assessment of contaminants are shifting towards more probabilisticapproaches. Against this background and with emerging applications MAMPECinnew fields (fish farming protective coatings in offshore wind parks) there was a needfor new and innovative extensions of MAMPEC. For the current project CEPE and Deltares propose a joint effort to apply and develop more advanced approaches to conduct validation studies (review of field studies and advanced modeling) to publish data on the model and applications to support further improvements and applicability of MAMPEC. It offers an excellent possibility to further validate and strengthen MAMPEC to develop new innovative options for higher tier assessments and to expand dissemination activities (publications webinar and regular course).

Innovativiteit
The extension of process descriptions for the sediment-water interactions theoptions for spatial allocation of the emissions and the schematisation of new opensea scenarios represent innovative elements in this proposal. The new functionalityfor sensitivity analysis will provide material for higher tier exposure assessments.The validation studies in this proposal will provide valuable data for understandingthe accuracy and precision of the model predictions. The new open sea scenarios willbe useful for the new fields of application: fish farming and offshore installations.

Projectvoorwaarden
Na de datum waarop deze Overeenkomst in werking is getreden, maar uiterlijk tot een jaar voor de beoogde datum waarop het Project zal zijn voltooid, kunnen ondernemers en/of onderzoeksinstellingen, die op het terrein van het relevante subsidieprogramma van het TKI werkzaam zijn alsnog als Partij toetreden. Een later toetredende Partij zal een nader overeen te komen bijdrage in kind en/of in cash moeten leveren die in redelijke verhouding staat tot zijn relatief aandeel in het Project na toetreding. De overige Partijen ontvangen vervolgens naar rato een terugbetaling en/ of gedeeltelijke vrijstellingen van hun nog te leveren bijdrage in kind, voor zover niet besloten wordt de bijdrage van de later toetredende Partij aan het projectbudget toe te voegen.
