It has been prepared under Section F of the Environmental Protection Agencies Waste Water Discharge Licensing Application Guidance Note. This report was prepared during May 2009 on behalf of Laois County Council by ECOFACT Environmental Consultants Ltd. The current study was based on information compiled during a desk study and a field assessment. Information compiled during the desk study included water quality monitoring information supplied by Laois County Council, the Environmental Protection Agency and further information on areas designated for nature conservation obtained from the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). The field study consisted of a walkover of the existing WwTP and receiving watercourse adjacent to the discharge, along with ecological and biological water quality appraisals at upstream (reference) and downstream (receptor) sites. The Ballinakill Stream, a second order drained stream is the direct receiving water for the Ballinakill WwTP. The Ballinakill Stream is of low ecological and fisheries value. Approximately 3 km downstream of the discharge from the Ballinakill WwTP outfall, the Ballinakill Stream joins the Owenbeg River making this watercourse the indirect receiving water from the Ballinakill WwTP. Furthermore the Owenbeg River is designated within the River Barrow and River Nore Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and is therefore of greater ecological sensitivity than the Ballinakill Stream. Water quality in the Ballinakill Stream was found to be compromised both upstream and downstream of the Ballinakill WwTP, with a clear deterioration in water quality downstream of the discharge. This evaluation was based on the field biological assessment carried out by Ecofact for the current assessment and also on chemical water quality monitoring data supplied by Laois County Council. From this data it was found that the Ballinakill Stream was of ‘good status’ Q4 upstream, deteriorating to Q3-4 downstream. Chemical water quality monitoring data indicated significant elevations in Ammonia, Orthophosphate, BOD and depleted Dissolved Oxygen downstream of the WwTP discharge. Although the observed discharge concentrations in the effluent were found to be below the design standards (for Suspended Solids, Orthophosphate and BOD) the flow in the Ballinakill Stream provides little dilution of the discharged effluent. It was found that the 95%ile flow of For inspection purposes only. the receiving water is 3 litres/s,Consent while of copyright the dry owner weather required forflow any fromother use. the plant is 2.6 litres/s. A waste assimilation capacity assessment (WAC), based on median upstream parameter concentrations showed that the Ballinakill Stream has limited waste assimilation capacity, due to high concentrations of background parameters during 95%ile flows. From the WAC the WwTP is assessed as having a slight to imperceptible impact on the receiving water during median flows, where the WFD ‘good status’ requirements are met for all parameters. It is important to note, however, that the Phosphorus Regulations requirements are not met for the Orthophosphate loadings to the Ballinakill Stream under 95%ile or median flows. The ongoing operation of the Ballinakill WwTP is therefore considered to have a slight impact on the water quality and ecological interests within the Ballinakill Stream receiving water. The Owenbeg River is contained within the River Barrow and River Nore Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Based on EPA chemical and biological water quality monitoring data at Castlemarket Bridge (upstream) and Attanagh Bridge (downstream) of the Ballinakill Stream confluence it was found that there was no discernible change in water quality between the two stations. Biological water quality was found to be stable at Q4 i.e. ‘good ecological status’. The current assessment therefore concludes that the overall impact to the Owenbeg River receiving water is imperceptible. It is‘noted, however, that the downstream EPA monitoring station on, the Owenbeg River receiving water is located ca. 3km from the Ballinakill Stream confluence. There is therefore ~ the possibility of localised impacts to this watercourse within the direct vicinity of the Ballinakill confluence. Page 12 EPA Export 26-07-2013:14:13:57 Receiving Water Impact Assessment: Ballinakill WwTP-June 2009 The current model assessed the WAC for the Ballinakill Stream, directly downstream of the WwTP discharge. The dilution capacity of the Ballinkill Stream at the confluence with the Owenbeg River is currently unknown. The availability of this data, coupled with monitoring data directly upstream and downstream of the confluence of these watercourses would provide a more accurate picture of the operational impact of the WwTP on the Owenbeg River, as a receiving water, and the associated impact on the River Barrow and River Nore SAC. This would further inform future assessments on the impact of the WwTP on freshwater pearl mussels in the River Nore downstream of the Owenbeg River, as well as impacts to salmonids and white-clawed crayfish populations in the Owenbeg River.

  • The Castlecomer Plateau

    The Castlecomer Plateau

    23 The Castlecomer plateau By T. P. Lyng, N.T. HE Castlecomer Plateau is the tableland that is the watershed between the rivers Nore and Barrow. Owing T to the erosion of carboniferous deposits by the Nore and Barrow the Castlecomer highland coincides with the Castle­ comer or Leinster Coalfield. Down through the ages this highland has been variously known as Gower Laighean (Gabhair Laighean), Slieve Margy (Sliabh mBairrche), Slieve Comer (Sliabh Crumair). Most of it was included within the ancient cantred of Odogh (Ui Duach) later called Ui Broanain. The Normans attempted to convert this cantred into a barony called Bargy from the old tribal name Ui Bairrche. It was, however, difficult territory and the Barony of Bargy never became a reality. The English labelled it the Barony of Odogh but this highland territory continued to be march lands. Such lands were officially termed “ Fasach ” at the close of the 15th century and so the greater part of the Castle­ comer Plateau became known as the Barony of Fassadinan i.e. Fasach Deighnin, which is translated the “ wi lderness of the river Dinan ” but which officially meant “ the march land of the Dinan.” This no-man’s land that surrounds and hedges in the basin of the Dinan has always been a boundary land. To-day it is the boundary land between counties Kil­ kenny, Carlow and Laois and between the dioceses of Ossory, Kildare and Leighlin. The Plateau is divided in half by the Dinan-Deen river which flows South-West from Wolfhill to Ardaloo. The rim of the Plateau is a chain of hills averag­ ing 1,000 ft.

    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019

    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019 December 2019 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 3 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,499 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 8,050 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with 90,011 households supported up to end of Q3 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.
