    Louth County Council Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones Ardee Water Supply Scheme Curraghbeg Borehole January 2012 Revision 4 Prepared by: Gerry Baker, WYG Ireland In collaboration with: Geological Survey of Ireland And in Partnership with: Louth County Council With contributions from: Natalya Hunter Williams, GSI PROJECT DESCRIPTION Since the 1980’s, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) has undertaken a considerable amount of work developing Groundwater Protection Schemes throughout the country. Groundwater Source Protection Zones are the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a groundwater source, i.e. a well, wellfield or spring, in which water and contaminants may enter groundwater and move towards the source. Knowledge of where the water is coming from is critical when trying to interpret water quality data at the groundwater source. The Source Protection Zone also provides an area in which to focus further investigation and is an area where protective measures can be introduced to maintain or improve the quality of groundwater. Louth County Council contracted the GSI to delineate source protection zones for nine groundwater public water supply sources in Co. Louth. The sources comprised Ardee, Cooley (Carlingford and Ardtully Beg), Collon, Termonfeckin, Omeath (Lislea Cross and Esmore Bridge), Drybridge and Killineer. This report documents the delineation of the Ardee source protection zones. A suite of maps and digital GIS layers accompany this report and the reports and maps are hosted on the GSI websites (www.gsi.ie).

Louth. The oldest rocks form a low range of hills just a few kilometres to the north-west of Drogheda, but they are poorly exposed. These Ordovician rocks, around 465 to 450 million years old, are dominated by volcanic lavas and ash falls erupted from volcanic islands and deposited on the ocean floor. Much of the low ground in the north of the county, between Dundalk and Ardee, is underlain by Silurian rocks, around 440 to 425 million years old. These were deposited on a deep ocean floor, where layers of slowly deposited dark mud were periodically interrupted by influxes of muddy sand avalanching down into the ocean basin from shallower water.

Sir, the state, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions; if they be willing to serve it, that satisfies. I advised you formerly to bear with minds of different men from yourself.
