The pipeline will have a 12.7mm wall thickness with external coatings to protect the pipe from corrosion. Included with the pipeline will be associated communications cabling and external leak sensing ducting. The works will be completed using trenchless technology with the drilling commencing from a drive pit on the southern side of the river to a reception pit on the northern side of the river. Both the Launch and reception pits are above the HWM and therefore not on state foreshore. The pipe will have a minimum of two meters cover beneath the bed of the river. Three types of leak detection will be applied on this pipeline: Visual inspection - Fortnightly inspections will be carried out on the pipeline route. Computational model based leak detection - the leak detection systems will be chosen from specialist leak detection vendors with a significant installed base and proven track record on similar fuel product pipelines in Europe and particularly the UK. External leak sensing Sensitive environments will additionally have external leak detection. This will comprise a slotted duct installed in the pipeline trench with a sensing cable installed in the duct. The duct will have 0.5mm wide slots to prevent it filling with silt. The Tolka river crossing is identified for this protection. A dedicated fibre optic communications cable will be installed in ducts in the pipeline trench and will connect both ends of the pipeline from the Port to the Airport. This is required in order to facilitate high speed communications between the pumping and receiving station for the leak detection system. The fibre optic cable will also have a secondary function where if interfered with (third party activity etc.), it will cause shutdown of the pipeline. For the river crossing, the cable ducting comprising 3 No. 40mm HDPE ducts will be attached to the pipe prior to installation. The location and details of the works on the foreshore is shown in the following Drawings submitted by the applicant Drawing No. 0362-D-03-G-0011, Rev 1 “Foreshore Lease / Licence Map” dated 13th September 2016 Drawing No. 0362-D-03-G-0012 “Development Map” dated 13th September 2016 Drawing No. 0362-D-07-C-0001 “Tolka River Crossing”, Rev 3, dated 15th September 2016 The total area of foreshore involved is 72m2 and it is anticipated that the works on the foreshore will take approximately 8 weeks to complete. Is the project or plan directly connected No. with or necessary to the management of the site (provide details)? Are there other projects or plans that together with the project or plan being assessed could affect the site (provide No details)? Describe how the project or plan (alone The works could potentially; or in combination) is likely to affect the impact on macro-invertebrate communities in Natura 2000 site. estuarine environments as a result of the installation disturb and displace bird species due to construction noise introduce pollutants into the water column during the works Explain why these effects are not considered significant. As no works will take place within a Natura 2000 site there will be no direct impact on any habitat or species. There will be no loss of habitat and habitat or species fragmentation will not occur. Given the fact that trenchless techniques will be used the potential significant indirect impacts on downstream designated sites due to any potential contamination during construction will be very slight and temporary in nature As the pipeline will be will be installed at a minimum depth of 2m below the bed of the river there will be no impacts on the SAC or SPA post installation. It is intended that construction works on the foreshore will take place during the period from May to September thus disturbance due to construction noise to wintering birds e.g. Brent goose will be avoided. The works on the foreshore could lead to temporary disturbance of other bird species of conservation value. It is considered,

  • 2003 Tolka Valley Park Mammals
    THE MAMMAL FAUNA OF THE TOLKA VALLEY PARK AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE RESIDENT FAUNA For Fingal County Council, Parks Department Daubenton’s bat in bridge over the River Tolka. (c) Brian Keeley 2003 Brian Keeley B.Sc. Hons. in Zool. Mammalogist November 2003 INTRODUCTION It is acknowledged by all environmentalists and ecologists that in order to ensure that native fauna may flourish, it is essential that there is a mechanism for continuity provided for interchange between naturally accessible parts of the species’ range. For many mammals, this means of continuity is provided in two main ways: vegetation corridors (hedgerow, trees, scrub) and waterways. Tolka Valley Park provides a link between suburban and rural areas of Fingal. The river itself creates a natural channel for the movement of aquatic or semi-aquatic mammals. The riverside vegetation and the remnant greenery that has survived on the flood plain of the river serves as the vegetation corridor, dwelling and resting place for mammals necessary to sustain and allow the movement of these survivors of increasing urbanisation. To appreciate what the resident fauna of this relatively new park is, it is necessary to examine the site in a number of ways. Different mammals are located by the use of different techniques. This current assessment looked at the bat fauna and the non-volant fauna by different means. Bats were sought during the summer period by means of a bat detector survey. Non-volant mammals were investigated by a walk-through of the Park to identify their tracks etc. rather than any visual determinations.

  • FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT Climate Change Sectoral Adaptation Plan
    FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT Climate Change Sectoral Adaptation Plan Prepared under the National Adaptation Framework Prepared by the Office of Public Works www.opw.ie 16 CLIMATE CHANGE SECTORAL ADAPTATION PLAN Flood Risk Management (2019-2024) Public Consultation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY It is likely that climate change will have significant impacts on flooding and flood risk in Ireland due to rising sea levels, increased rainfall in winter, more heavy rain days and more intense storms. While it is important that causes of climate change are addressed, Ireland must also prepare to adapt to such changes. The first Climate Change Sectoral Adaptation Plan for Flood Risk Management was produced by the OPW in 2015 under the mandate of the National Climate Change Adaptation Framework (DECLG 2012). This Plan has been prepared under the National Adaptation Framework (DCCAE, 2018), and updates the 2015 Plan taking into account new information available on climate change and its potential impacts, developments in flood risk management since 2015 and the Guidelines for the preparation of the Sectoral Adaptation Plans (DCCAE, 2018). The purpose of this Climate Change Sectoral Adaptation Plan for Flood Risk Management is to: • outline the potential impacts of climate change on flooding and flood risk management in Ireland; • identify the objectives for an effective and sustainable approach to adaptation as part of flood Julyrisk management 2019 for the future, • promote a coordinated approach to adaptation: • within the flood risk management sector and sustainable flood risk management measures in other sectors, and, 16 • across the policies and actions of other Sectors including Local Authorities, and, • recommend any further actions required to meet the objectives for adaptation.
