Subcatchment Assessment WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Erne Subcatchment MacneanLoughsconnector_SC_010 Code 36_24 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 1 Generated on: 16 Jan 2019 Generated by WFD Application Assessment Purpose This assessment has been produced as part of the national characterisation programme undertaken for the second cycle of Water Framework Directive river basin management planning. It has been led by the EPA, with input from Local Authorities and other public bodies, and with support from RPS consultants. The characterisation assessments are automatically generated from the information stored in the WFD Application. They are based on information available to the end of 2015 but may be subject to change until the final 2018-21 river basin management plan is published. Users should ensure that they have the most up to date information by downloading the latest assessment before use. 2 Evaluation of PrioritySubcatchment Issues This sub-catchment is split between the Republic of Ireland ( Cavan and Leitrim) and Northern Ireland ( Fermanagh), with five of the eight water bodies shared and needing input from Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) in order to fully assess any significant pressures. The sub-catchment is covered by wet soils with some peaty soils present, so potential issues arrive for agriculture, forestry, wastewater, and possibly the effectiveness of septic tanks in these conditions. Where information is available, the main pressures throughout the sub-catchment are agriculture and forestry, This is coupled with a recognised problematic waste water facility and septic tanks.The area is popular for tourism, and there are plans to further promote it for tourism. Cornavannoge_010 and Cornavannoge_020 are both Not At Risk. Roo_010, Macnean Upper and Lower are At Risk and investigative assessments will be carried out on MacNean Upper, and will focus on agriculture, forestry and septic tanks; I teh case of Lower Macnean, the wast water facility will be focused on in the first instance. In all cases liaison with NIEA and Leitrim / Cavan CoCo will be undertaken prior to the commencement of any work. Liaison with NIEA is also required for Black River and Drumharrif Burn as both are At Risk also.

Unauthorised reproduction infringes Ordnance Survey Ireland and Government of Ireland copyright. © Ordnance Survey Ireland, 2010. 1 1.1 Introduction Lough Macnean Lower (Plate 1.1, Fig. 1.1) is a large freshwater lake located in County Fermanagh, at an altitude of 51m a.s.l. It is a mesotrophic lake, with a surface area of 456ha, mean depth of 1.5m and maximum depth of 12.7m. The lake is categorised as typology class 6 (as designated by the EPA for the purposes of the Water Framework Directive), i.e. shallow (<4m), greater than 50ha and moderately alkaline (20-100mg/l CaCO3). Lough Macnean Lower is fed by the Belcoo River which flows from Lough Macnean Upper into the lake near the village of Belcoo. The lake then empties into the Arney River. Lough Macnean Lower contains two islands, Cushrush Island which is the larger of the two and Inishee or Jinny's Island, which is smaller and is completely forested.

  • Revitalising Cavan's Towns and Villages
    BLACKLION Revitalising Cavan’s Towns and Villages History The original name of the village was Largay meaning a hillside and was changed to Blacklion in honour of a famous inn in the village. A stone cairn, a burial cist and two stone cashels are all within the townland, giving evidence of early habitation. Blacklions urban growth was hampered until the mid- 19th century by the nearby village of Red Lion. During The Troubles Blacklion as a main border crossing was home to a joint Irish Army/Garda Siochana checkpoint.

  • About the Walks
    WALKING IN FERMANAGH About the Walks The walks have been graded into four categories Easy Short walks generally fairly level going on well surfaced routes. Moderate Longer walks with some gradients and generally on well surfaced routes. Moderate/Difficult Some off road walking. Good footwear recommended. Difficult This only applies to Walk 20, a long walk only suitable for more experienced walkers correctly equipped. For those looking for a longer walk it is possible to combine some walks. These are numbers 10 and 11, 12 and 13, 18 and 20, and 24 and 25. Disclaimer Note: The maps used in this guide are taken from the original publication, published in 2000. Use of these maps is at your own risk. Bear in mind that the countryside is continually changing. This is especially true of forest areas, mainly due to the clearfelling programme. In the forests some of the footpaths may also change, either upgraded as funds become available or re-routed to overcome upkeep problems and reduce costs. These routes are not waymarked but should be by the summer of 2007. Metal barriers may well be repositioned or even removed. A new edition of the book, ‘25 Walks in Fermanagh’ will be coming out in the near future. please follow the principles of Leave No Trace Plan ahead and prepare Travel and camp on durable surfaces Dispose of waste properly Leave what you find Minimise campfire impacts Respect Wildlife Be considerate of other visitors WALKING IN FERMANAGH Useful Information This walking guide was commissioned by Fermanagh District Council who own the copyright of the text, maps, and associated photographs.
