- -
Q Value is the Biological Quality Rating as assessed by EPA staff during National Rivers Monitoring Programmes.
Molybdate Reactive Phosphate ( MRP ) median concentration to be determined from a minimum of 10 samples taken at intervals of 4 weeks or longer in any 12 month consecutive period. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use.
The standards can be met by achieving the Q Value or MRP target.
The percentage of sites in Meath meeting the biological targets is also presented as this figure will be lower than the percentage of sites meeting either target.

Data used to assess compliance
EPA Biological Surveys of River Quality are canied out on 3 yearly cycles. The majority of river sites in Meath belong to the Boyne catchment area and as biological surveys for this catchment were conducted in suminer 2006, the provisional 2006 results have been used for this report in the interests of presenting the most up to date appraisal of water quality and compliance in the county. The release of this data by EPA is gratefully acknowledged.
Median MRP quoted in this report is the annual median MRP based on 12 consecutive monthly results for the year July 2005 to June 2006 inclusive. As MRP concentrations can follow highly seasonal patterns influenced by plant uptake and river flow rate it is important that the annual median is based on evenly distributed sampling events to avoid a biased median.
MRP was analysed by Flow Injection Analysis on a Lachat QC8000. Method Detection Limit For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use.

Figure 1.1: Water Quality Status in Meath - 1995 to 2006, source EPA Biological Surveys There has been a substantial improvement in water quality in County Meath since the baseline survey was carried out in 1995-1997. The percentage of stations classed unpolluted has increased from 22% in 1997 to a current figure of 40.6%. Slight and Moderate Pollution has reduced ( 72.5% in 1997,59.4% now ), while Serious Pollution is now eliminated among the baseline sites ( 5.5% in 1997,0% now ). While the number of seriously polluted sites has been falling steadily since 1997, the increase in unpolluted sites is most marked in the recent period. The percentage of stations classed unpolluted has increased from 24% in 2003 to 40.6% in 2006. The improvements can, in some cases, be attributed to substantial infrastmctural developments such as Navan, Johnstownbridge and Edenderry WWTPs. EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:34 Meath CC Phospl~orusRegulations lrnpleille~~tatio~~Report 2006 The Local Authority has also worked hard on farm surveys, discharge licensing, water quality investigations and in using the powers of the Water Pollution Acts to remove pollution sources. While the recent improvements are very welcome, it is worth noting that nationally, the EPA have classed 70.2% of channel length as unpolluted, ( EPA, Environment in Focus 2006 ). Clearly, further improvements in water quality in Meath are required, to approach the national average and beyond that to achieve "Good Status" in all waters by 2015, as required by the Water Framework Directive.

EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meath CC Pl~osphorusRegulations Implementation Report 2006 1.2 Compliance with 2007 water quality standards S.1. 258 of 1998, the Phosphorus Regulations, sets interim standards to be achieved by 2007. Sites with Q4, 44-5 and Q5 ( Unpolluted ) must maintain their Q Value, while sites with poorer water quality must achieve an incremental improvement. Thus a site which was Q3 in the baseline must achieve Q3-4 or better ( or the MRP target ) to comply with the standards. This site then complies with the regulations due to the improvement although water quality may be 43-4 which is slightly polluted. Many sites in Meath have improved sufficiently in water quality since the baseline to comply with the regulation's interim targets, although some of these sites will require further improvement to achieve Q4 unpolluted status. Graphed below is the trend in Percentage Compliance for river sites in Meath since the baseline years 1995-1997. ICompliant Biology or MRP For inspection purposes only.

EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meath CC Pl~ospl~orusRegulations l~aplementationReport 2006 Section 2: Implementation of Measures Table 2.1. Table 2.1 describes the Implementation Programme which is in place for the County as a whole. The programme builds on measures contained in the 2004 Implementation Report and reflects a determination to improve and protect water quality through systematic and prioritised effort. The principal measures employed are: Discharge Licensing Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants Farm Surveys Active Enforcement of Water Pollution Acts Integration of Planning and Water Quality Functions Groundwater Protection Scheme Participation in River Basin District Management Projects Liaison with partners in catchment management River Monitoring MWWTP monitoring Laboratory procedures Geographic Information Systems General Public Education Campaigns This programme is being actively pursued by Meath CC and details are given of progress to date for each measure. For inspection purposes only. Table 2.2 Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. Table 2.2 describes the Implementation Programme for each river catchment. The table details Aprogress - to date for each identified measure and sets out work to be undertaken in the forthcoming implementation period. The measures and issues identified here result from a detailed, systematic review of catchment pressures, impacts, experience to date and state of compliance. GIS has proved a valuable tool in drawing together information on compliance, monitoring, phosphorus sources, pressures, land use, and enforcement and in framing this information in a meaningful geographic context. In line with an environmental management systems approach, the measures identified here for forthcoming implementation result from a review of progress to date, the relative success of measures to date and outstanding compliance issues. EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meath CC Phospl~orusRegulations Implementation Report 2006 Section 3: Progress to date 3.1 Planning Control and Enforcement Measures Discharge Licensing Progress during reporting period All facilities are visited quarterly for trade effluent sampling. Results of Council sampling and results submitted by Licensee are reviewed for cotnpliance with terms of licence. Follow-up by letter and site visit where licence conditions breached, Letters issued to 25 Licensees since 2004. 3 Section 4 Licensees prosecuted for non-compliance. Programme to audit licences in operation, 16 out of 57 Licences have been audited so far, most in the last year. Database of Discharge Licence Enforcement established which summarises status, compliance and enforcement measures to date. 21 new Discharge Licences issued in 2004 / 2005. 5 Licences currently in review process. 12 Licences revoked where discharge bad ceased. Problems Encountered 1 . Enforcement required in some cases to ensure Licensee submits results. 2 Exceedances of Emission Limit Values due to inadequate or poorly maintained treatment / abatement facilities 3 Adequate Hydrometric data for receiving waters not always available for assimilative capacity calculations.

Future Plans 1 The monitoring programme is well established and continued enforcement will ensure that issues of non-compliance are progressively reduced 2 The programme to audit all licences is well underway and this will be continued progressively over the next 2 years. Recommendations on Minimum Criteria for Environmental Inspections to infonn the methodology. 3 New Licences will continue to be issued as appropriate 4 Licence review process will continue, prioritising Licences by the potential for improvement. Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants Progress during reporting period 1 Water Services Investment Programmes advanced by Infrast~ctureSection. New Plants built in Longwood, Ballivor, Dunshaughlin. Upgraded networks in Dunshaughlin, East Meath, Navan, Enfield, Ashbourne. EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meat11 CC Phosphorus Regulations hnple~nentatio~~Report 2006 2 Assessment of Needs 2006 prepared by Infrastructure Section and submitted to DEHLG. 31 Schemes identified, 17 relate to new or upgraded WWTPs or sewer networks. 3 Dedicated Operation and Maintenance Team has responsibility for maintenance and servicing of new and upgraded plants. This helps the new plants achieve the expected performance as service issues are addressed promptly. The host of WWTPs upgraded since 1999 have consistently achieved good P removal efficiency. 4 Of the 30 water quality sites which improved in Q value between 2001-2003 and 2004- 2006, at least 9 of these cases are probably associated with upgrades in upstream WWTPs. Problenls Encountered 1 Unfortunately only 6 of the 26 Schemes identified in the 2003 AoNs were included in subsequent WSIPs and hence many of the schemes in AoNs 2006 are required in the short to medium term to cope with ageing infrastructure and large population increases. 2 Delays encountered in delivering Meath Grouped Towns and Villages DBO Sewerage Scheme. Approval granted in 2006 to proceed to tender stage. Contractors to be appointed and construction to start in early 2007. Many of these schemes are of critical importance to improving poor water quality in rivers which currently fail the standards of the Phosphorus Regulations. 3 Inadequacies in sewer networks can have significant impact on water quality. Poor networks suffering high infiltration will contribute to hydraulic overloading at WWTPs and sewer overflows. If a WWTP is upgraded and performs well, the h11 value of environmental benefits that should flow from this investment will not be realised if the associated network and pumping stations are not also upgraded.

It is hoped that future WSIPs will advance these schemes and will drive significant further improvements in water quality. Farm Surveys Progress during reporting period 1 2004 Implementation Report identified non-compliant sites in 14 catchments where agriculture was a main pressure. Significant Farm Survey work has been carried out in 8 of these catchments to date, with 193 surveys by August 2006. Co-operation from farmers is generally very good. 2 Standardised Farm Survey record sheet is completed and includes a detailed sketch of the farmyard and buildings layout. 3 Land Holding, Pollution Risk and Recommended Action have been recorded in GIS for all farms surveyed to date. This is a summary of the Farm Survey data but is straightforward in terms of data entry and contains the basics. 4 Where necessary, farms are re-inspected and Water Pollution Acts used to rectify the problems identified. 44 re-inspections, 30 S12 notices served to date. EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meat11 CC Pl~osyl~orusRegulations lmple~nentationReport 2006 5 Print-outs of GIS aerial photography have proved helpful in correctly identifying land holdings with the fanner where 6 inch maps are out-dated. 6 Calling card used to make contact with farmer where necessary. 7 Where a fanner is in REPS fannyard management is generally very good and pollution risk is low. 8 Availablity of grants under the Farm Waste Management Scheme has increased applications for fann improvement works. 9 The Athboy catchment is one area which was prioritised for fann surveys in the 2004 I~nplementationReport. The extensive survey work in the upper half of the catchment appears to have contributed to improved water quality where 3 river sites have improved in Q value in the 2004-2006 period. Problems Encountered 1 Slow process. If fam~eris absent from farm at time of visit a second visit will be required, calling card used. More likely where farmer is part-time. 2 Co-operation generally very good. Future Plans 1 FmSurveys identified as key measure in forthcoming Implementation period in 14 river catchments. 2 The introduction of S.I. 788 of 2005, The European Communities ( Good Agricultural Practice for Protection of Waters ) Regulations 2005 will further strengthen water quality protection measures.

Problems Encountered 1 Significant demand on resources, level of pollution risk can vary but all complaints must be investigated. Future Plans 1 Meath CC will continue to investigate all pollution complaints and use the WPA where necessary. EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meath CC Pl~ospllorusRegulations ln~plel~~entationReport 2006 Integration of Planning and Water Quality Functions Progress during reporting period 1 Applications which could impact on water quality are referred to Environment Section and review in light of Phosphorus Regulations and assimilative capacity. 2 Water Quality monitoring data was made available for the process of Drafting a new County Development Plan. 3 Site suitability assessments are required for single dwelling applications. 4 Environment Section now assessing agriculture related applications to ensure proposed develooments comply with the European Communities (Good Agricultural- Practice for ~roteciionof ~ateisjRegulations 2006. Problems Encountered 1 Staff resources in dealing with large volume of planning applications which require attention. Future Plans 1 Continuing implementation of the Water Framework Directive through drafting and adoption of River Basin Management Plans will increase the profile of water quality issues as the plans will have a statutory recognition similar to development plans. Groundwater Protection Scheme Progress during reporting period 1 The Geological Survey of Ireland has completed a Groundwater Protection Scheme for For inspection purposes only. County Meath.

The scheme allows Meath CC to account for these factors in planning, licensing and water protection. Groundwater can contribute a significant proportion to river base flow in summer low flow conditions. 3.2 Consultative and Co-operative Measures River Basin District Management Projects Progress during reporting period 1 Relevant environmental datasets and results shared with RBD project consultants for Eastern, Neagh-Bann and Shannon RBDs. Data used in Article 5 Characterisation Report, Risk Assessments and will contribute to draft River Basin Management Plans. 2 River Basin District Advisory Council established which includes 2 elected representatives from Meath County Council.

Modelling to be used in design and testing of WFD Progranlnle of Measures. Future Plans 1 Implementation of the Water Framework Directive and the strong public consultation elements within it will promote public engagement on water management issues. Liaison with partners in catchment management Progress during reporting period 1 Meath CC will continue to liaise with partners in catchment management. This includes working with Fisheries Boards, EPA and Teagasc to address issues impacting on water quality. 2 Co-operation with neighbouring Local Authorities such as the co-ordination of river surveys with Fingal County County and co-operation with Kildare County Council on monitoring measures. Future Plans 1 Further coordination with neighbouring local authorities is envisaged in catchments with non-compliant sites where the relevant pressures on water quality cross county boundaries, such as those identified in Table 2.2, e.g Cavan, Westmeath, Kildare and Louth County Councils. 3.3 Monitoring Measures For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. River monitoring Progress during reporting period 1 Monthly physico-chemical sampling programme extended to all 198 river sampling sites in the National Rivers Monitoring Programme. In-situ measurements and nutrient analysis by flow injection analyser. 2 Programme will be reviewed and integrated with WFD monitoring requirements. 3 Water quality results stored in access database. 4 Hydrometric data collected at staff gauges in tandem with sampling programme. 5 Updated monitoring results have been reviewed. MRP Seasonal Averages graphed by channel length as a screening tool for impact of point source phosphorus on all rivers in the county. 6 28 investigative surveys in l0 catchments camed out since 2004. Surveys involve river walk and nutrients spot sampling at locations identified in 2004 Implementation Report. 7 2 staff trained in Small Stream Risk Score surveys. 49 full Surveys carried out at locations identified by RBD projects. Problems Encountered EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meat11 CC Phospl~olusRegulations l~nplementationReport 2006 1 Investigative surveys in some catchments have been inconclusive, where high MRP concentrations extend to uppermost reaches. Further survey work will be required to resolve these P sources. 1n-some of these cases the catchments have a high water table, poorly drained soils and the P source may be difkse pollution. 2 SSRS surveys not feasible at some locations subject to channelisation and dredging. Future Plans 1 Monitoring programmes will adapt to incorporate requirements of Water Framework Directive. 2 SSRS may be used in future investigations where appropriate, with results reviewed to assess circumstances suitable for SSRS survey. 3 Reporting of water quality monitoring data in the future will be facilitated by software in development by EPA and LGCSB. Move to Labinfo in 2007 to facilitate on-line upload to central data repository. MWWTP monitoring Progress during reporting period 1 26 WWTPs sampled at influent, effluent and receiving waters. Programme extends to plants below 500 pe. Mostly grab sampling. 2 Parameters measured align with requirements of Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations: BOD, COD, SS, Total P, Total N. 3 See Appendix A2 for summary of discharge monitoring results for year to June 2006. 4 Internal communications procedure established whereby Area Engineer is notified by environmental technician if Emission Limit Values at a WWTP are exceeded so that corrective action can be taken.

Audit recommendation of Oct 2006 so BOD and P loading from storm water events can be established. Monitoring Laboratory Procedures Progress during reporting period 1 Rivers Lab participates in Aquacheck and EPA Proficiency Testing Schemes. Method Validations performed and QC procedures employed including use of traceable standards and Certified Reference Materials. 2 Effluent Lab participates in EPA Intercalibration Scheme and has increased QC procedures. Future Plans 1 Laboratory Information Management Systems to be used to facilitate streamlined reporting of results to EPA, via on-line upload. 2 Future reporting may require details which describe the quality of the data reported by each method, such as Limit of Detection, Limit of Quantitation, Accuracy, Precision and Uncertainty. EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meath CC Phospliorus Regulations Imple~nentationReport 2006 Geographic Information Systems Progress during reporting period 1 Liaison with Spatial Services Section to access Mapinfo datasets of relevance to Environment Section. GIS used to present and interrogate data. 2 GIS layers used by Environment Section include Aerial Photography, OS series, Groundwater Protection Schemes. 3 Meath CC data such as Farm Surveys, River monitoring, WWTP monitoring and Discharge Licence monitoring converted to Mapinfo files for integration with othex geo-data. Future Plans 1 New datasets generated by WFD implementation projects such as sub-basin delineations from Digital Terrain Model, lS' and 2ndorder streams and P Loss Risk to be used in future survey work. 2 Web-GIS resources to be used for queries at RBD scale. 3 Consideration to be given to use of GPS units in logging locations of pollution colnplaints investigations. This would allow the reports already archived in Call Management System to be map-linked, bringing this valuable information into the GIS domain. 3.4 Public education and Advisory Measures General Public Education Campaigns Progress during reporting period For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. 1 The Council website has been re-designed and is to go live before end of 2006. The new site will include material on water quality, legislation, pollution sources, discharge licensing, agriculture, septic tanks and Water Framework Directive. 2 Websites have been maintained by each of the River Basin District Management Projects which give information on work undertaken for the WFD. Results of Risk Assessments are available through on-line reporting tools. EPA Export 26-07-2013:17:12:35 Meat11 CC Pl~ospl~orusRegulations l~~~ple~l~e~itationReport 2006 Conclusions Water Quality in Co. Meath has improved substantially since 1995-1997, the baseline period for the Phosphorus Regulations, with a marked improvement in the most recent period. 24% of river stations were classed unpolluted in the 2001-2003 period, this has risen to 40.6% unpolluted in 2004-2006. Compliance with the water quality targets of the regulations now stands at 73.6% ( Biology or MRP ), up from 54.1% in 2004. Compliance with the Biological targets now stands at 61%, up from 41.9% in 2004. This represents improved water quality at a significant number of stations. Meath County Council has impleinented the programme of measures set out in the 2004 Phosphorus Regulations Implementation Report through systematic and prioritised measures aimed at improving and protecting water quality. Measures such as Farm Surveys and Investigative Surveys have been focused on non- compliant catchments identified in the 2004 report. The Water Pollution Acts have been used in response to pollution complaints and in rectifying problems identified through survey work. GIS information has been used in a strategic manner to locate and characterise potential pollution sources. The Discharge Licensing programme has progressed with significant activity in monitoring, enforcement, auditing, review and granting of licences. River and WWTP monitoring programmes have been updated and provide detailed feedback For inspection purposes only. and guidance in tackling outstandingConsent water of copyright quality owner required problems. for any other use. Investment in upgraded Wastewater Treatment facilities has delivered improved water quality in several catchments. The Assessment of Needs 2006 identifies 17 Sewerage Schemes needed to address ageing infrastructure and / or large population increases. It is hoped forthcoming WSIPs will advance these schemes and drive significant further improvement in water quality. The Water Framework Directive will bring further benefits through the process of adopting and implementing River Basin Management Plans and by involving wide public participation. While the recent improvements in water quality are very welcome, Meath County Council recognises that much remains to be done. The measures set out in this Implementation Report derive from a detailed, systematic review, per catchment - of pressures, impacts, experience to date and state of compliance. It is hoped the implementation of this programme will advance ongoing efforts to protect water quality and will bring further improvements in the period ahead.
