This plan includes mitigation which has been transposed from a Natura Impact Statement, following an Appropriate Assessment of the NWSMP and which should apply to the proposed RMR Scheme. A number of the identified mitigation actions are highlighted here as being particularly pertinent to this in-combination assessment include:  “The audit of wastewater sludge activities is essential to ensure progress is being made in ensuring compliance with good practice and to ensure that an overall quality product is being generated. Therefore it is recommended that the audit process becomes an integral part of the quality assurance system and it addresses all wastewater sludge management activities from the operational WWTP to the disposal / reuse activity. Contractors who break contractual obligations will be penalised”  “…Irish Water has committed to ‘liaise with the Department of the Environmental, Community and Local Government in relation to a review of the Code of Good Practice for the Use of Biosolids in Agriculture to address inconsistencies in legislation and existing guidelines’37.  “As upgrades to infrastructure would result in more effluent generation, the sensitivity of the receiving waters must be considered in advance and proposals. In projects where the only potential impact is on the final effluent discharges, screening for Appropriate Assessment is undertaken by the EPA as part of the wastewater discharge licensing process”.

This will provide a benchmark which can be used to determine what changes need to be made going forward.  Recommended risk assessments should be undertaken and siting criteria considered at the planning stage of new infrastructure and upgrades.  Appropriate Assessment of proposed projects by Irish Water shall be carried out by them to ensure that the requirements of Article 6(3) and 6(4) of the EU Habitats Directive are fully satisfied.  Irish Water will ensure compliance with their obligations as a public water authority under the Birds and Natural Habitats Regulations 2011 – 2015.  Irish Water will ensure that all proposals are in compliance with their Standard Operating Procedures. River Basin The 2nd Cycle RBMP supersedes the ‘The North Western The aims and objectives of this plan Management Plan River Basin Management Plan’ (NWRBMP) and ‘Lough Swilly include improving water quality within (RBMP) for Ireland, Water Management Unit Action Plan (WMU)’. This plan sets the Lough Swilly and Lough Fern 2018-2021 (DoHPLG, out the actions that Ireland will take to improve water quality Catchments. 2018) and achieve ‘good’ ecological status in water bodies (rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters) by 2027. On the basis of the actions set out in the RBMP for Ireland it is expected that general water quality improvements will be achieved in the 762 water bodies which are being prioritised for this planning cycle (2018 – 2021). This plan includes the upgrades at Milford, Ramelton and Rathmullan, which is intended to be of benefit to the water quality of Lough Fern, the Leannan River (a Prioritised Area for Action) and Lough Swilly, taking account of the ‘High’ status water amenity areas here. The plan states that “…it is conservatively estimated that the actions outlined will likely result in some 152 additional waterbodies showing improvement in status by 2021, with further improvements being made thereafter. The remaining At Risk water bodies which fall outside the 190 Areas for Action will still benefit from existing and newly introduced measures. As resources allow these will be targeted for investigative assessments and further action, where necessary, through the prioritisation processes at regional committee level.” Freshwater Pearl “The Leannan is currently ranked as 16th out of the 27 Improvements to the treatment of water Mussel - Second Draft- Freshwater Pearl Mussel SAC populations in the country on discharging from Milford (the WwTP Leannan Sub-Basin the basis of population status, habitat condition and current here currently discharges directly into Management Plan pressures.

Note: The Flood Risk Management Plan for the River Basin (01) North Western (OPW, 2018) includes Further Assessments for:

 Rathmelton (Ramelton); and,  Rathmullan.

Both of these areas have undergone irregular fluvial and coastal flooding in the past. AFAs identified has having significant flood risk and potentially benefiting from new gauge stations included:

 Ramelton (Rathmelton River); and,  Rathmullan (Ballyboe watercourse).

The potential in combination impacts of proposed works within Ramelton include direct loss of habitat along the footprint of any proposed works located adjacent to and upstream of the Lough Swilly SAC / SPA, and adjacent to and downstream of the Leannan River SAC. In addition, there is potential for sediment pollution during construction, however no dredging proposals within the Rathmelton River were proposed.

The potential for in-combination impacts of proposed works within Rathmullan include short term sedimentation and water quality impacts. There is potential for recurring impacts on water quality and fisheries from dredging (works to increase channel conveyance). There is also potential for disturbance or loss of habitats and/or species.
