(xiv) Collation of mitigation measures, timeframes, responsibilities, reporting and monitoring requirements. 1.5 Section 175 of the 2000 Act refers to Environmental Impact Assessment of Certain Development carried out by or on behalf of local authorities. Section 175(6) of the Act requires that the Board, prior to making its decision in respect of a local authority development which requires an environmental impact assessment, consider the Environmental Impact Assessment submitted, any submissions or observations in respect of the proposed development and other information furnished in accordance with subsection (5) of the Act, relating to: (i) the likely effects of the proposed development on the environment, (ii) the likely consequences for proper planning and sustainable development in the area in which it is proposed to situate the said development of such development. 1.6 Section 177AE of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2010 refers to Appropriate Assessment of certain development carried out by or on behalf of local authorities. Section 177AE(6) requires that before making a decision in respect of proposed development under this section, the Board shall consider - the natura impact statement submitted and any other information furnished relating to (i) the likely effects on the environment of the development, (ii) the likely consequences for proper planning and sustainable development in the area in which it is proposed to situate the said development of such development, and (iii) the likely significant effects of the proposed development on a European Site. 1.7 As the competent authority the Board is responsible for completing and recording the Appropriate Assessment and the Environmental Impact 12JA0034 An Bord Pleanála Page 3 of 33 Assessment in respect of the proposed development. This report therefore considers the NIS and EIS submitted, the submissions and observations made in respect of the development and other information that has been submitted in respect of it and comprises: • an assessment of the likely effects of the development on the environment, • a planning assessment of the proposed development, • an appropriate assessment of the proposed development, and • an environmental impact assessment of the proposed development. 1.8 Ultimately, on the basis of the relevant issues as outlined above, this report recommends whether or not the Board should grant approval to the County Council for the proposed development. 2.0 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION 2.1 Lough Gill covers an area of 1,450 hectares, contained within a shoreline perimeter of 30.52 kilometres, and includes numerous bays and twenty one small islands. Lough Gill is 2km east of Sligo town and lies at a geological junction of ancient metamorphic rocks which produce acid groundwater, and limestone which dissolves in the groundwater. The shores of Lough Gill are lined with limestone. Parts of the lake, which reach over 20 metres in depth, feature underwater cliffs. The main inflowing river is the Bonet River which enters the lake in the southeast corner while the Garavogue River runs from the western end of the lake into Sligo Harbour. The Newtownmanor River enters Lough Gill in the east of the lake at Sriff townland. The lake is located within Hydrometric Area 35 and within the Western River Basin District. The lake shores are covered for the most part with woodland, comprising both broadleaf and coniferous trees. Other land uses include agriculture and the lake also provides for a number of recreational and amenity activities. 2.2 Lough Gill is the source of raw water for three major public water supply schemes: the North Leitrim Regional Water Supply Scheme NLRWSS operated by Leitrim County Council, the Sligo and Environs Water Supply Scheme and Carns Hill Water Supply Scheme both operated by Sligo County Council. There are also a number of other extractions which exist from Lough Gill with total current abstraction rights amounting to 31,541m 3/day. 1 2.3 The outlet flow from the lake is currently controlled by the existing upper weir on the River Garavogue at Riverside Sligo. The upper weir, which was rehabilitated in 2000 in conjunction with Phase I of the NLRWSS and the Sligo and Environs WSS, is currently set at a level of 1 Table 11.4 Details of Existing Water Abstractions from Lough Gill. EIS, September 2012. Section 11, 11.6 Infrastructure. 12JA0034 An Bord Pleanála Page 4 of 33 3.691m above Ordnance Datum (m OD) Malin Head. The upper weir consists of a curved profile structure incorporating sluice gates and a fishpass. A pedestrian footbridge situated above the weir provides access to the sluice gates and fishpass, as well as providing a link between Riverside and the Mall in Sligo Town. 2.4 The North Leitrim Regional Water Supply Scheme currently extends to 433 square kilometres or 27% of County Leitrim from Manorhamilton in the north of the scheme supply area to Drumkeeran in the south. The existing raw water intake for the NLRWSS is located in the townland of Greenaun North, County Leitrim in an area of Lough Gill known as White’s Bay. The intake consists of a submerged screen and intake pipe from where raw water gravitates to an underground tank at the adjacent intake pumphouse. From here raw water is pumped to the Water Treatment Plant located in the townland of Moneyduff. 2.5 The Moneyduff Water Treatment Plant is situated off the R286 regional road approximately 1.8km to the east of the raw water intake and approximately 2.5km north of Dromahair. The treatment process comprises coagulation, dissolved air flotation, rapid gravity filtration, pH correction, fluoridation and chlorination. Treated water flows by gravity from Moneyduff to Dromahair. Further pumping is required from Moneyduff to a high level reservoir located in the townland of Cornalaghta prior to distribution by gravity to Manorhamilton and onto Drumkeeran where a local pump station boosts supply to the town. 3.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 3.1 The proposal comprises Phase II of the North Leitrim Regional Water Supply Scheme (NLRWSS).

    Feasibility Study 1 Commissioned by: Leitrim Development Company Funded by: Rural Development Programme LEADER 2014 - 2020 / Leitrim Integrated Development Company Acknowledgements: The Organic Centre, Angling Clubs, Community Development Associations, Leitrim Recreation Forum, Leitrim County Council, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Inland Fisheries Ireland, Failte Ireland/ Wild Atlantic Way Team, Tourism Operators and Landowners, Water and Communities Office, Brand development support by WECREATIVE ([email protected]) Produced by: Alan Hill Tourism Development Ltd. [email protected] 00353 +873207619 Image: the River Drowes 2 Image: The Drowes River Executive summary The purpose behind this comprehensive Study is to ascertain the potential of the story of the Wild Atlantic Salmon to act as a platform to economically and socially sustain the communities of the greater Lough Melvin region through responsible tourism. The lake and its broader catchment have an ancient relationship with the most iconic of Irish fish; a relationship that of late has seen considerable strain on salmon stocks, challenges to the environment and a dwindling importance in relation to local employment and wealth creation. We now find ourselves at a historical tipping point; posing the question of how best to craft an original rural tourism response that will counteract these threats all in the context of an economically disadvantaged cross border Lakeland region with the growing shadow of Brexit. This Study took six months to research, audit and draft. Over sixty individuals participated in the extensive consultation process. Inputs, many of them ongoing throughout, came from the communities, private sector and tourism trade, recreational users, special interest groups, local authorities, government agencies and NGO's.
