Geology and Soils.Pdf A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 1 - Environmental Statement 12 GEOLOGY AND SOILS 12.1 Executive summary 12.1.1 The assessment has investigated the impacts of the Proposed Scheme on statutory and non-statutory geological sites, evaluated the risks associated with existing areas of contamination and assessed existing ground conditions to determine the suitability of soils to be re-used within the works. 12.1.2 The assessment has concluded that the Proposed Scheme would not impact on any areas designated for the protection of geological interest. Several sites have been identified where the ground is known to be contaminated, mostly in brownfield areas around Strabane. Background testing has identified areas of elevated levels of contaminates where soils cannot be incorporated into the works. Additionally, the contractors would undertake sampling and testing of soils in these areas and prepare detailed plans for avoiding handling, removal and disposal to ensure that site staff and the public would not be exposed to any potential hazard. Where soils have been found to be acceptable, it would be reused in the works. 12.2 Scope of the assessments 12.2.1 The assessments and studies relating to geology and soils have been focused on: consideration of potential impacts specific to statutory and non-statutory sites designated for their geological value; a review of geological, geotechnical and soils information prepared by the geotechnical and contaminated land team to identify potential impacts on geological resources; evaluation of contaminated areas and sites relative to potential impacts / risks on environmental receptors in the vicinity of the Proposed Scheme; and an assessment of the background greenfield conditions to determine whether or not soils would be suitable for re-use within the works. 12.2.2 Statutory designated sites which have been considered include Areas of Special Scientific Interest (ASSIs) where geological value is integral to the designation. Non- statutorily designated sites include Earth Science Conservation Review Sites (ESCRS). These are sites identified as having national or international importance for earth science conservation by virtue of their geology, palaeontology, mineralogy or geomorphology. 12.2.3 In relation to contaminated sites, the assessment identified sites where construction is likely to involve disturbance which could result in the release of contaminants into the environment and could result in impacts on sensitive environmental receptors including people, nature conservation resources and aquatic resources. Potential impacts related to human health are described in this chapter. Impacts on the aquatic environment and © Mouchel 2016 12-1 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 1 - Environmental Statement nature conservation resources, are described in Chapter 11 (Ecology and Nature Conservation) and Chapter 16 (Road Drainage and the Water Environment). 12.2.4 Contaminated sites include brownfield sites which are defined as previously developed sites with a range of former industrial uses which have been or are associated with industrial or other potentially contaminative activities. Former and active landfills have also been considered. 12.2.5 The study area for the assessment includes designated and contaminated sites either under or directly adjacent to the Proposed Scheme and new or modified side roads. 12.2.6 More distant sites which may also be impacted by the road construction, such as large landfills, have also been considered. 12.3 Statutory and planning context 12.3.1 Reference has been made to the following statutes, policies and plans. The Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 (as amended) 12.3.2 The main provisions include powers for the Department of the Environment Northern Ireland (DOE) to designate National Parks, and to declare statutory Nature Reserves or Marine Nature Reserves. The Environment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002 12.3.3 This legislation requires Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) to identify and designate ASSIs. ASSIs are nationally important sites which are designated for their important flora, fauna or geological features. Planning Policy Statement 2 (PPS 2) Planning and Nature Conservation 12.3.4 PPS 2 details DOE policies relative to nature conservation as part of the Department’s responsibility for securing orderly, consistent and sustainable development. Geological features and landforms are included as important components which form the focus of the conservation policies within the document. The Waste and Contaminated Land (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 12.3.5 The Waste and Contaminated Land Order was made in November 1997. It came into operation in March 1998 (with amendments to Part 2 & Part 3 of the order completed in 2011) and implements the European Commission (EC) Framework on Waste in Northern Ireland. The Order makes a number of provisions such as: transfer of responsibility for waste regulation from the district councils to the Department of Environment (DOE), focused within the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA); introduction of measures designed to increase control over the processing and handling of waste including Waste Management Licensing, Controlled Waste and © Mouchel 2016 12-2 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 1 - Environmental Statement Duty of Care, Registration of Carriers, Special Waste and Producer Responsibility; and introduction of measures relating to the identification of contaminated land, designation of special sites, duties of enforcing authorities to require remediation, determination of appropriate persons to bear responsibility for remediation, liability of contaminating substances which escape to other land and contaminated land registers. 12.3.6 Some parts of the order with respect to waste management have yet to be implemented, for example, waste licensing is operating under the provisions of the Pollution Control and Local Government (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 until regulations for the transfer of responsibility to the DOE can be introduced. 12.4 Methods of assessment 12.4.1 The assessments have been informed by the guidance detailed in the DMRB, Volume 11, Section 3, Part 11 – Geology and Soils. 12.4.2 They have involved the following tasks: establishment of the baseline environment relative to the location, form and status of designated sites and contaminated sites and the key geological characteristics associated with the Proposed Scheme corridor and its wider setting; evaluation of the form and magnitude of impacts on designated sites and the potential for impacts associated with contaminated sites which would be, or are, likely to be disturbed during construction of the Proposed Scheme; identification of appropriate mitigation where impacts on designated or other important geological features or contaminated sites have been identified; and description of the predicted residual impacts and their effects. Establishment of baseline environment 12.4.3 Identification of areas designated for their geological value, contaminated sites and the geological characteristics of the Proposed Scheme corridor has involved reference to the following documents and data sources (see Appendix 12A for further detail): current and historical, geological and hydrogeological mapping; walkover surveys; aerial photography; datasets held by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland and the Geological Survey of Ireland; datasets held by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA); datasets held by the Northern Ireland Executive and Local Authorities; © Mouchel 2016 12-3 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 1 - Environmental Statement datasets held by the Public Records Office; A5 Western Transport Corridor, Environmental Statement, Mouchel, November 2010; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 1 Preliminary Sources Study, Mouchel, June 2009; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 2 Preliminary Sources Study, Mouchel, June 2009; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 3 Preliminary Sources Study, Mouchel, June 2009; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 1 Factual report on Ground Investigation, Phases 1-4, Glover Site Investigation Ltd, 2010; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 2 Factual report on Ground Investigation, Phases 1-4, Soil Mechanics Ltd, 2010; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 3 Factual report on Ground Investigation, Phases 1-4, Soil Mechanics Ltd, 2010; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 1 Ground Investigation Report, Phases 1- 4, Volumes 1-13, Mouchel, June 2012; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 2 Ground Investigation Report, Phases 1- 4, Volumes 1-10, Mouchel, June 2012; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 3 Ground Investigation Report, Phases 1- 4, Volumes 1-11, Mouchel, June 2012; A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 1 Ground Investigation Report Supplement, Phase 5, Arup Atkins, November 2013; and A5 Western Transport Corridor Section 3 Ground Investigation Report Supplement, Phase 5, Volumes 1-13, URS Halcrow, January 2014. 12.4.4 The principal sources of information specific to geological characteristics, contaminated sites and contaminated land have been the Geotechnical Preliminary Sources Study Reports prepared by Mouchel in 2009 and Ground Investigation Reports prepared by Glovers Site Investigation Limited and Soil Mechanics in 2010.

  • A Seed Is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA from the Earliest Times, The
    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • A Society in Transition: the Protestant Community in Tyrone 1836-42 Daragh Emmett Curran Thesis for the Degree of Ph.D Departmen
    A SOCIETY IN TRANSITION: THE PROTESTANT COMMUNITY IN TYRONE 1836-42 DARAGH EMMETT CURRAN THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PH.D DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: PROFESSOR RAYMOND GILLESPIE SEPTEMBER, 2010 A society in transition: The Protestant community of County Tyrone 1836-42. Daragh Emmett Curran This thesis deals with the transition that was taking place in Protestant society in the immediate pre-famine period in County Tyrone. It explores how this community, at all social levels, reacted to the changes that were occurring and which were considered detrimental to its position of dominance in society. These changes had the potential to dramatically affect the traditional paternalistic relationship that bound the lower classes to their social betters and this study examines how this relationship survived through economic recession, changes in law and order, increasing concessions being granted to Catholics, lessening government support for the Protestant Church, and the suppression of the dominant Protestant association of the time- the Orange Order. The Order played an integral part in the lives of many Protestants and was an organization that transcended the class divide. Because of this, it becomes the pivot around which this work revolves as the Order, with its wide-stretching network, helped maintain the patriarchal relationship that bound the classes together. It is also a useful tool through which to examine attitudes towards law and order within the Protestant community as changes within this area, especially within the magistracy, affected the upper classes, the very people that the lower classes looked to for guidance.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
