Achill Sound Waste Water Discharge Application Attachment A.1

ATTACHMENT A.1 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY

1. Waste Water discharge Licence (Background) Mayo County Council, Aras an Chontae, Castlebar, Co. Mayo is making an application to the Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) for a waste water discharge licence for the Achill Sound Waste Water Treatment Plant at Achill Sound and Agglomeration in compliance with the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 684 of 2007).

Under Regulation 5. (1), of the above Regulations, a water services authority shall at least 6 months before the date on which a waste water works becomes operational, make an application to the Agency for a licence authorising the waste water discharges from those works. The Achill Sound Waste Water Treatment Plant falls under this category as it is currently under construction and is due to be commissioned/operational by May 2010.

Prior to the above plant no collection system or treatment plant existed in Achill Sound.

2. Description of Achill Sound Waste Water Works use. The Achill Sound Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) has been designed to treat wastewater from an equivalent population of 1,200 persons and will be operated by Response- other Group. Treated effluent from the Plant will be dischargedonly. to the Atlantic Ocean (Primary Discharge Point) SW1 (P). any for The scheme as a whole includes for the construction of a scheme of Main Sewers to collect foul effluent from the Achill Sound agglomerpurposesation and convey the flow via 5 No. Pumping Stations, to the new Waste Water Treatment Plant, the names of which are as follows: - required Pumping Station Unique Point Code Name inspection owner St. Finions PS1 For Sraheens No. 1 PS2 Sraheens No. 2 PS3 Achill Soundcopyright Bridge PS4 Old Railwayof PS5

The main treatment processes within the WWTP will be: Inlet Screens, Aerobic biological treatment (2 No. SequencingConsent Batch Reactors) followed by UV Sterilisation Chamber.

3. Sources of Emissions There will be 1 No. Primary Discharge Point (SW1 (P)), discharging to the Atlantic Ocean. This discharge will originate from the Achill Sound Wastewater Treatment Plant. The treated effluent from the WWTP will discharge from the Tidal Tank to a Diffuser Head located 190m from the foreshore. This arrangement will allow the treated effluent to discharge only on high tides, when maximum dilution can occur.

There will be 6 other Secondary (emergency) Discharge Points discharging to the Atlantic Ocean. These discharges will originate from the WWTP Inlet Pumps and the 5 No. Pumping Stations (named in Table above), located throughout the catchment. Discharges from these Points are only anticipated if there is a prolonged power cut, pumping equipment breaks down or if maintenance work is required i.e. these points are emergency discharges only.

A.1 Page 1 of 2 Achill Sound Waste Water Discharge Application Attachment A.1

4. Nature and Quantity of Foreseeable Emissions The wastewater treatment plant is designed to treat the wastewater to the standards required by the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations i.e. BOD 25 mg/l, COD 125mg/l and SS 35mg/l.

The anticipated average volume discharged from the municipal effluent stream of the Treatment Plant is estimated at 215.78 m3/day (959 P.E. @ 225 l/P.E./day). This will be equivalent to an average daily discharge of 5.4 kg/day BOD, 7.55 kg/day Suspended Solids.

5. Technology for Prevention or Reduction of Emissions Emissions from the Wastewater Treatment Plant will be monitored and the treatment process will be constantly adjusted to maximise the efficiency of the plant in removing pollutants.

6. Supervision of Works The Wastewater Treatment Plant will be operated and supervised by Response-Group.

7. Measures planned to monitor emissions to the Environment It is proposed to carry out routine sampling six times a year, by Response-Group.use.

ATTACHMENT C.1 OPERATIONAL INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

1.0 General description of Achill Sound Waste Water Works Achill Sound Waste Water Treatment Scheme is currently under construction and is due to be commissioned May 2010. The following is a description of the proposed treatment process, however certain elements of the works have yet to be approved and constructed. Therefore all details should/will to be verified at a later date.

The scheme as a whole includes for the construction of Main Sewers to collect foul effluent from the Achill Sound agglomeration and convey the flow via five Pumping Stations to the new Waste Water Treatment Plant.

The main treatment processes within the WWTP will comprise of the following:  Foul sewage pump station with inline emergency holding capacity & screened overflow  Influent automatic screening with bypass coarse screen  Influent flow measurement & auto-sampling  Aerobic biological treatment process (2 No. Sequencing Batch Reactors, SBR’s)  Low pressure UV radiation of final effluent use.  Effluent flow measurement & auto-sampling  Effluent storage and tidal discharge other  Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) flow measurementonly.  WAS storage and thickening any  Supernatant return pump station for  Supernatant return flow measurement purposes 2.0 General Process Overview required 2.1 Inlet pumping station Raw sewage will gravitate to the inlet pumping station. The inlet pump will consist of a wet inspection owner well with duty/standby submersible pumps capable of forwarding 3DWF. These pumps will lift wastewater to the inlet screensFor from which screened wastewater will gravitate to the SBR’s via flow divert chamber. copyright The inlet pumps will be inhibitedof when neither of the two SBR’s are in Fill mode. The inlet wet well will store wastewater during these periods and the level in the wet well shall be allowed to rise and occupy the emergency storage volume provided.

During high inflows, flowsConsent in excess of the capacity of the plant design will overflow the inlet pump station. The emergency overflow outlet will be fitted with course bar screens to retain floating debris within the inlet pump station. Bypass flows will combine with treated effluent downstream of the UV system and final effluent sampler. Bypass flows will be directed to the tidal tank.

After fine and course screening and sampling the sewage will gravitate to a flow divert chamber. This chamber will direct the screened sewage to whichever of the SBR tanks is in Fill mode.

2.2 Sequence Batch Reactors (SBR’s) A Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR) is a batch-feed, batch-discharge activated sludge system for wastewater treatment. Wastewater is added as a single batch, treated to remove undesirable components and discharged as a treated batch. Equalisation, aeration and clarification area achieved in a single tank.

C.1 Page 1 of 3 Achill Sound Waste Water Discharge Application Attachment C.1

Sequencing is added to Batch Reactor when more than one batch reactor is utilised, i.e. the treatment phases are managed to optimise treatment capacity. This will be the system used at Achill Sound WWTP as 2 No. SBR’s are proposed.

Two identical SBR tanks will provide four stages of biological treatment and clarification of the screened sewage as follows:  Fill (2.42hr at 3DWF)  React (0.35hr at 3DWF)  Settle (0.8hr at 3DWF)  Decant (1.27 at 3DWF)

While one SBR is in React, Settle or Decant mode the other will be in Fill. By use of operation set-points, Fill will be divided into two as follows:

 Anoxic Fill (aeration off, mixer on/off) (0.61hr at 3DWF), split into Static Anoxic Fill and Mixed Anoxic Fill  Aeration Fill (aeration on, mixer off) (1.81hr at 3DWF)

2.3 UV Disinfection & Effluent Sampling use. An in-line UV disinfection system will be provided down stream of the SBR. During Decant step effluent will flow through the UV system to the effluent sampling station and onto the other tidal tank. only. any 2.4 Tidal Tank for Final effluent will be stored in the tidal tank. The tank’s capacity (1.5DWF) will allow for discharge under average flow conditions andpurposes over a fixed period on every outgoing tide. An actuated penstock valve will be provided on therequired tank discharge, which is controlled by a SCADA based tidal-clock and level transmitter. Should the tidal tank outlet valve fail to move into position, an alarm will be generated. inspection owner 2.5 Sludge Thickening HoldingFor Tank The excess sludge will be thickened and stored in the sludge holding tank. copyright 2.6 Plant Control of Equipment will be controlled from the main control panel housed in the Control Building and in some instance remote panels relaying signals back to the main control panel. The SCADA control system is designedConsent to provide fully automatic plant operation.

ATTACHMENT F.1 ASSESSMENTS OF IMPACTS OF WASTE WATER DISCHARGES ON RECEIVING WATERS

The Primary Discharge Point SW1(P), will not discharge directly into a Designated Site however Designated Shellfish Waters (2009) are located 550m north and 1200m south of the proposed Primary Discharge Point.

To minimise the impact on the nearby Shellfish Waters, it is proposed to include UV Disinfection of the wastewater prior to entering the Tidal Tank. This was a condition of the Foreshore Licence granted 2nd August 2006. This level of treatment is required to polish/treat wastewater further after secondary treatment, to minimise risks to receiving waters to ensure that shellfish beds are not impacted.

The outfall design also takes in to consideration the sensitive surrounding waters by utilising a diffuser arrangement which greatly improves initial dilution values. Initial dilution is the dilution of a buoyant effluent as it rises from the discharge point from near the seabed to the sea surface. As the effluent rises to the surface, sea water is entrained at the periphery of the effluent plume. This entrainment reduces the concentration of the effluent and increases the width of the plume. This ensures that the buoyant plume rises and dilutes over the depth of the water column, rather than falling to the sea bed.

use. One out of the six Secondary (emergency) Discharge points (SW2(E) – SW7(E)), will discharge directly into the Designated Shellfish Waters. This discharge point is associated other with an emergency overflow from St. Finions (SW3(E))only. Pumping Station. The frequency of discharge from this point is predicted as extremely rare andany will only occur when there is a prolonged power outage. for

Mayo County Council will carry out an “appropriatepurposes assessment” if required, in accordance with – Note on Appropriate Assessments for the purposes of the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations, 2007 (S.I. No. 684required of 2007) as part of the Waste Water Licensing Discharge process for Achill Sound. inspection owner For
