ACHOIMRE FHEIDHMEACH RÉAMHRÁ Is é seo an Plean um Bainistiú Priacal Tuile (an ‘Plean’) d’Abhantrach Cuan na Gaillimhe - Oirdheisceart. Tá cur síos ar an Abhantrach i Rannán 2 den Phlean. Is cuspóir don Phlean straitéis, ar a n-áirítear sraith céimeanna molta, um bainistiú costéifeachtach inbhuanaithe fadtéarnmach an phriacail tuile ins an Abhantrach a leagan amach, ar a n-áirítear limistéir inar cinneadh go bhfuil an priacal tuile dóchúil suntasach. Tá an Plean seo, don tréimhse 2018-2021, ar cheann de 29 bPlean atá dá bhfoilsiú; leagann gach ceann acu amach an réimse indéanta de chéimeanna um bainistiú priacal tuile atá molta dá nAbhantracha ar leith. Céim shuntasach chun tosaigh is ea ullmhú na bPleananna seo maidir le feidhmiú pholasaí an Rialtais um bainistiú priacal tuile, mar atá leagtha amach i dTuarascáil an Ghrúpa um Athbhreithniú ar Pholasaí Tuile (OPW, 20041), agus freagraíonn sé oibleagáidí na hÉireann faoi Threoir ‘Tuilte’ an AE 2007 (EU, 20072). Cuimsíonn an Plean céimeanna indéanta a tugadh chun cinn trí réimse clár agus tionscnamh polasaí ar a n-áirítear: Céimeanna neamhstruchtúrtha um chosc agus ullmhacht priacal tuile atá infheidhme ar bhonn náisiúnta, dírithe ar thionchair thuilte a laghdú, a tugadh agus atá á dtabhairt chun cinn chun polasaí Rialtais um bainistiú priacal tuile a fheidhmiú (OPW, 2004). Céimeanna atá molta do phobail atá ar phriacal suntasach tuile a léiríodh tríd an Chlár Náisiúnta um Measúnú agus Bainistiú Priacal Tuile Abhantraí (MBPTA). Scrúdaigh an Clár MBPTA an priacal tuile, agus céimeanna féideartha um an priacal a fhreagairt, in 300 pobal ar fud na tíre atá ar phriacal dóchúil suntasach tuile. Léiríodh na pobail seo ins an Réamh-Mheasúnú um Priacal Tuile (RPT); measúnú náisiúnta scagtha a bhí anseo. I dTábla ES-1 thíos tugtar liosta na bpobal atá léirithe tríd an phróiseas RPT mar phobail atá faoi phriacal dóchúil suntasach tuile in Abhantrach Cuan na Gaillimhe - Oirdheisceart chomh maith leis na foinsí tuile a cinneadh a bheith suntasach maidir le gach pobal. Tugadh chun cinn agus foilsíodh sraith mapaí tuile le haghaidh gach pobal díobh, ag léiriú na limisteir atá ar phriacal tuile. Tógann an Plean ar an chlár náisiúnta oibreacha cosanta tuile a críochnaíodh roimhe seo, orthu san atá faoi dhearadh agus faoi thógáil um an dtaca seo nó atá leagtha amach trí thionscadail nó pleananna eile, agus ar chothabháil leanúnach ar scéimeanna dhraenála agus faoiseamh tuile. Rinneadh Measúnú Straitéiseach Comhshaoil, agus Measúnú Cuí faoin Treoir um Ghnáthóga mar ba chuí, mar chuid den ullmhú, agus tá siad folisithe i dteannta leis an Phlean. 1 Tuarascáil an Ghrúpa um Athbhreithniú ar Pholasaí Tuile, OPW, 2004 (www.floodinfo.ie) 2 Treoir faoi mheasúnú agus bainistiú priacal tuile, 2007/60/EC i FRMP – River Basin (29) Galway Bay South East Táble ES-1 Pobail atá ar Phriacal Dóchúil Suntasach Tuile taobh istigh d’Abhantrach an Cuan na Gaillimhe - Oirdheisceart CONTAE AINM an PHOBAIL FOINSÍ PRIACAL TUILE Gaillimh Cinn Mhara Taoidmhear Gaillimh Baile Locha Riach Abhann Gaillimh Órán Mór Abhann & Taoidmhear Gaillimh Baile Átha an Rí Abhann Gaillimh An Gort Abhann CUSPÓIRÍ AN PHLEAN Is é cuspóir foriomlán an Phlean ná tionchair tuilte a bhainistiú agus a laghdú, agus aird ar shochair agus éifeachtaí eile, ar fud réimse leathan earnála, ar a n-áirítear sláinte daoine, an comhshaol, an oidhreacht chultúrtha agus gníomhaíocht eacnamaíoch, trí scéimeanna inmharthana cosanta tuile agus céimeanna eile, bunaithe ar thuiscint chruinn ar phriacal tuile mar atá léirithe in ullmhú mapaí tuile. Maidir le gach ceann ar leith de na hearnála seo tugadh chun cinn sraith cuspóirí a bhí comhsheasmhach ar bhonn náisiúnta. Tugtar liosta de na cuspóirí ar leith seo agus an tábhacht a bhaineann le gach ceann díobh i Rannán 1.4 den Phlean. RAON AN PHLEAN Leagtar amach raon an Phlean thíos: Raon Spásúil: Leagann an Plean amach céimeanna inmharthana atá molta chun priacal tuile a bhainistiú agus a laghdú ins na pobail sin a léiriodh tríd an RPT a bheith faoi phriacal dóchúil suntasach tuile. Leagtar amach freisin réimse polasaí agus céimeanna neamhstruchtúrtha, atá in áit nó faoi fhorbairt, a thacaíonn le laghdú agus bainistiú priacal tuile ar fud na hAbhantraí. Foinsí Priacal Tuile: Freagraíonn na céimeanna atá leagtha amach sa Phlean priacal tuile ó na foinsí tuile mar a léiríodh i dTábla ES-1 i bpobal amháin nó níos mó, mar cinneadh tríd an RPT go raibh na foinsí seo dóchúil suntasach ins na pobail seo. Féadfaidh an réimse polasaí agus céimeanna neamhstruchtúrtha tacú le laghdú agus le bainistiú priacal tuile ó fhoinsí uile priacal tuile. Leibhéal Sonraí: Leagtar amach sa Phlean na céimeanna atá léirithe mar na céimeanna is cuí ag an phointe seo measúnaithe. COMHAIRLIÚCHÁN AGUS PLÉ LE POBAL AGUS LE PÁIRTITHE LEASMHARA Rinneadh comhairliúchán poiblí ar scála leathan le linn do na mapaí tuile agus na Pleananna a bheith dá n-ullmhú. Cuireadh suíomhanna gréasáin don Chlár MBPTA agus do na Tionscadail ar fáil chun eolas faoin phróiseas iomlán agus faoi na tionscadail bhainteacha a sholáthar agus chun torthaí na dtionscadal a fhoilsiú (tá an t-eolas a bhí ar fáil ar na suíomhanna gréasáin sin ar fáil anois ag www.floodinfo.ie). Thionól an OPW breis agus 200 Lá Comhairliúcháin Phoiblí maidir leis na mapaí tuile ins na pobail bhainteacha; bhí deis ag daoine tuilte staitiúla agus cruinneas na mapaí a phlé leis na hinnealtóirí ón OPW agus a gcuid comhairleoirí. Tharla comhairliúchán reachtúil phoiblí faoi ii FRMP – River Basin (29) Galway Bay South East na mapaí tuile go déanach sa bhliain 2015. In ullmhú na mapaí críochnaithe tugadh aird ar na tráchtais, tuairimí agus agóidí ó na Laethanta Comhairliúcháin Phoiblí agus ón chomhairliúchán foirmiúil chun eolas áitiúil ar thuilte agus tuairimí an phobail a chuimsiú ins na mapaí. Tionóladh dhá bhabhta de Laethanta breise Comhairliúcháin Phoiblí ins na pobail maidir leis na roghanna dóchúla agus ansin maidir leis na Dréacht-Phleananna um bainistiú an phriacail tuile. Tionóladh comhairliúchán reachtúil phoiblí eile maidir leis na Dréacht-Phleananna. Breathnaíodh an réimse leathan tuairimí agus aighneachtaí a tháning trí na comhairliúcháin seo agus tugadh san áireamh iad de réir mar ba chuí nuair a bhí na Pleananna dá gcríochnú. Tiomsaíodh Grúpaí Náisiúnta agus Réigiúnacha Páirtithe Leasmhara chun deis a thabhairt do pháirtithe leasmhara páirt a ghlacadh in ullmhú na mapaí tuile agus na bPleananna. Bhí cruinnithe comhordaithe leis na húdaráis atá freagrach as an Creat-Treoir Uisce a fheidhmiú agus, maidir le habhantracha a roinntear i bpáirt le Tuaisceart Éireann, leis na húdaráis chuí ansin. Tá cur síos ar na gníomhaíochtaí maidir le comhairliúchán leis an bpobal agus le páirtithe leasmhara i Rannán 4 den Phlean. MEASÚNÚ TEICNIÚIL In ullmhú an Phlean bhí anailís agus measúnú forleathan teicniúil chun an priacal tuile a léiríodh tríd an PBT a chinneadh agus ansin chun céimeanna roghnaithe inmharthana um fhreagairt an phriacail a léiriú. Ar an measúnú teicniúil seo bhí: Suirbhé ón Aer: Suirbhé ón aer ar thopagrafaíocht na dtuilemhánna, chun anailís a dhéanamh ar chonas a scaipeann uiscí tuile trasna na dtuilemhánna. Suirbhé Topagrafaíoch: Suirbhé de thalamh ar leagan amach na n-aibhneacha agus na sruthán a ritheann trí na limistéir agus ansin anuas chun na farraige, ar a n-áirítear suirbhéanna ar chruth ghrinill

  • Athenry Natura Impact Report
    Athenry Local Area Plan Natura Impact Report Stage 1: Screening Assessment 27th J u l y , 2 0 1 2 Summary In December 2011 Galway County Council published a draft Athenry Local Area Plan (LAP). The purpose of this Plan is to provide direction for the future growth, development and land use of the town of Athenry from 2012 to 2018. The draft Plan included land use zonings that aim to direct appropriate development to relevant zonings within the lifetime of the Plan. While no Natura 2000 Sites occur in the immediate vicinity of Athenry, the River Clarin forms a hydrological link between the Plan area and Galway Bay where two Natura 2000 Sites are located. The two sites at Galway Bay include the Inner Galway Bay SPA and Galway Bay Complex cSAC. No other Natura 2000 Site is linked to the Plan area. Due to the establishment of a hydrological link between the Plan area and the Galway Bay Natura 2000 Sites it was considered that, without an appropriate approach to the future land use of Athenry, potentially negative impacts to these Natura 2000 Sites could arise. A Stage 1 Screening Assessment of the draft Plan was undertaken during November and December, 2011. This Screening Assessment identified a number of Policies and Objectives that had the potential to adversely affect the water quality of the River Clarin with associated risks to the Galway Bay Natura 2000 Sites downstream. These Policies and Objectives are referred to as “potentially negative” Policies and Objectives in the Natura Impact Report. However, the Plan also contained a range of Policies and Objectives that aim to protect likely significant to the environment and Natura 2000 Sites in particular.
