Re: Reg. No. A0382-01, Lemybrien Waste Water Discharge License.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I refer to our letter of 14th December , 2010 regarding Waste Water Discharge License application for Lemybrien , Co. Waterford.

For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. (1) We have assessed the likelihood of significant effects of the waste water discharges from the agglomeration on the relevant European sites by referring to Circular L8/08, issued by Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and have concluded that there will be no significant effects and it is therefore not necessary according to L8/08 to assess the impacts.

The agglomeration is small with a population of 150 pe The closest SAC is the SAC. The Mid Waterford Coast SPA is about seven kilometers away. We are satisfied that the Integrated Constructed Wetlands can treat the effluent to a sufficient standard that it will not cause significant effects to the protected sites. There are no industrial discharges to the system and the discharge is from domestic sewage only.

[2] Section C. - You will see from the Non Technical Summary in the submitted application form that the sewage from the agglomeration flows by gravity to three septic tanks and from there flows by gravity to a Constructed Wetlands. The septic tanks allow gross solids to settle out and biodegrade under anaerobic conditions and the liquid fraction after settlement flows to the wetlands

F:Groups:Sanitary:Maread:TBourke:Letters10

EPA Export 01-03-2011:20:21:49 The Wetlands discharge by gravity to a Local Stream which is a tributary of the R.Tay. The constructed wetlands provide long residence time and most of the organic load is removed prior to discharge to the Stream. The constructed wetlands and septic tank can accommodate at least 120 pe. The area being served is off the main tourist area and we are not aware of any local festivals.

[3] Design capacity of 120pe..

[4] Discharge is to a local stream which is a tributary of the R.Tay.

[5] Revised agglomeration map attached herewith. .
