2 of 29 INTRODUCTION

INTERREG Europe financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is scheduled to run from 2014 to 2020 http://www.interreg4c.eu/interreg-europe/. The ERDF budget for the overall INTERREG project is EUR 359 million. The Environment theme will receive a proportion of this. The purpose of this document on the Fane is to demonstrate what information is currently available within NI Environment Agency (NIEA) and ROI Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist with project proposals for river restoration schemes and integrated catchment management actions (including groundwater). This will save applicants duplicating studies already completed, while proposing additional types of information that can be collected. The report will provide information on the failing Water Framework Directive (WFD) quality elements for parts of the system. In addition there are impact assessments to guide how improvements may be progressed to meet WFD 2023 result indicator targets for INTERREG V. There is pressures information to guide how improvements may be progressed to meet WFD objectives. Any works to be carried out should be in line with current licensing and regulations1.

WFD STATUS AND OBJECTIVES

Map 1: WFD Status and Objectives

1 River works guidance document http://www.doeni.gov.uk/surface_water_alteration_handbook_- _online_version.pdf

3 of 29 For European reporting NI has been divided into 450 sections called river water bodies. Although we provide classifications at a water body scale, consideration of the catchment as a whole is ideal when investigating problems or planning works. For example a barrier in the downstream water body may be impacting on fish upstream. Or intensive land use upstream may be causing siltation downstream. The 2023 objective for many of the Fane water bodies is Good (see map above and table in appendix). Status is assessed using biological, chemical and hydromorphological parameters. Some of these have five band classes, but hydromorphology only feeds in at high status and can only reduce the score to good. Information gathered for hydromorphology is used to design programmes of measures.

MANAGING FRESHWATER RESOURCES IN AN INTEGRATED CATCHMENT

Managing water resources by Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) integrates all water types including surface water and groundwater in the subsurface. As the hydrological cycle demonstrates, groundwater is an integral part of the water environment. More information on the hydrological cycle can be found on the Northern Ireland Environment Agency webpage2.

Of all liquid freshwater on earth 98.97% is made up of groundwater, 0.87% of surface water (rivers, lakes, wetlands) and 0.16% of atmospheric moisture3. Groundwater is an important part of the hydrological cycle, so any integrated catchment or river basin management plan must consider it as an integral element - it is not only a receptor to anthropogenic pressures, but is also an important pathway for potential contaminants entering the groundwater in areas of high groundwater vulnerability. This is often over looked. Groundwater is also an important resource in providing baseflow to rivers (and that is why rivers continue to flow during dry weather) as well as lakes and groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems (wetlands) (see Figure 1).

All groundwater bodies except the Neagh groundwater body are designated as drinking water protected areas in Northern Ireland. In the Republic of Ireland all groundwater bodies have been designated as drinking water protected areas.

Figure 1: Groundwater is the pathway (as well as being a receptor) for land-use based pressures that could impact on rivers, lakes and wetlands.

For the management of groundwater resources under the Water Framework Directive, bedrock and superficial groundwater bodies have been defined within the River Basin Districts. Groundwater bodies are management units and their delineation follows hydrogeological principles. As a result, groundwater body boundaries are based on the interpretation of regional geology and hydrogeology including geological boundaries and hydrogeological flow boundaries. Hence groundwater body boundaries are often not identical to surface water catchment boundaries. This document describes local groundwater bodies or parts of groundwater bodies in each surface water catchment.

GROUNDWATER IN INTEGRATED CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT – INTERREG PROJECT

Catchment management is an approach to managing both land and water resources. Some understanding of the complex linkages between land and water and how we impact upon both is at the heart of catchment management. The way we manage the land has consequences for the water that drains from and through it. So the quality and quantity of water in the streams, river, lakes and groundwater of a catchment reflect the pressures of the surrounding land use. Integrated Catchment Management is therefore a process that recognises the catchment as the appropriate organising unit for understanding and managing ecosystem processes in a context that includes social, economic and political considerations, and guides communities towards an agreed vision of sustainable land and water resource management for their catchment4.

4 B. Harris, 2013, http://www.iah-ireland.org/conference-proceedings/2013.pdf

5 of 29 Within the 11 cross border catchments are 33 cross-border groundwater bodies. These are groundwater bodies that are shared between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. There are 42 groundwater bodies or parts of them (consisting of cross-border and non-cross-border groundwater bodies) within the area of the 11 catchments.

The output indicator for the INTERREG project is the installation of 50 cross-border groundwater monitoring wells. The selection of borehole locations for groundwater monitoring wells should be driven by the current hydrogeological understanding and conceptual model of the catchment. Draft conceptual models are available for selected groundwater bodies on request from NIEA (contact details page 9). For all groundwater bodies in Northern Ireland risk assessments based on a loadings model of nitrate and phosphorus concentrations in groundwater have been carried out. The loadings model took into account features like catchment geography, sewered/unsewered population, land use (based on the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology Land Cover Map 2000, Agricultural Census Northern Ireland data 2011), livestock numbers (Agricultural Census Northern Ireland data 2011), and landfills to predict a concentration of nitrate and phosphorus in groundwater. There are a number of groundwater bodies where a verification of the loadings model is currently not possible due a scarcity of groundwater monitoring data. Data verification will enhance the understanding of the catchment and groundwater/surface water interaction (pathways).

Anticipated Actions/Deliverables

The newly established network will provide the successful party/consortium with groundwater monitoring data to improve confidence in the status assessments of the groundwater bodies. The analysis of water quality will provide data for the establishment of baseline conditions and possibly trend assessment to further develop the conceptual models for groundwater bodies. Geological and hydrogeological understanding gained from the drilling process, especially on the thickness and nature of the superficial deposits, also contribute to a better understanding of the groundwater vulnerability in the cross-border catchments. It will also improve the characterisation and conceptual models of the groundwater bodies.

NARRATIVE SUMMARY

The Fane catchment is situated between Castleblaney to the west and Crossmaglen to the east. River types include cascade step pool, pool riffle glide, and lowland meandering sections indicating a wide range of slopes in this area. There are also lakes including Lough Muckno, Lough Patrick and Lough Ross. Lough Ross has a licensed impoundment for public water supply. Aerial images and geology layers are only available to the author for the NI parts of this catchment. These layers show sandstone to be the main solid geology with mudstone and basalt dykes present. Drift geology is mainly till with patches of peat, sand and silt present. Pastures are the main land use and aerial images show land worked to the edge in many places with no broadleaf buffer along the water course.

6 of 29 Recent hydromorphology assessment data (using the River Hydromorphology Assessment Technique, RHAT5) is available for 3 of the 6 water bodies listed here on the Fane system. These scored less than good for habitat. (See map on report cover, and see appendix for full list of 6 water body identifiers on this Fane system.) An additional 3 water bodies are detailed here to join up the 3 areas RHAT surveyed. Issues identified in the surveys include reduced floodplain connection, missing native broadleaf buffer strips, road crossings, culverts and weirs.

RESULTS

Results are collated below with summaries of pressures and the resulting biological and chemical element draft classifications. An outline is provided showing the types of restoration work that could be considered. These suggestions are by no means final or full assessments of all the pressures. The information provided for the Fane water bodies will show how we identify problems. It is hoped this will give applicants ideas on restoration schemes to benefit ecological status.

9 of 29 GROUNDWATER

Parts of the Louth and a very small part of the Keady groundwater body (in the northern part of the Fane catchment) lie within the catchment. The Louth and Keady groundwater bodies are currently at Good status. However, risk assessments showed that the Keady groundwater body is possibly under pressure from mine seepages on the Tynan River/Balteagh Stream Upper.

Loadings modelling of nitrate and phosphorus concentrations have been carried out by Northern Ireland Environment Agency for the Louth groundwater body. However, no data are currently available for verifying the loadings modelling. Verification using groundwater monitoring data obtained from baseline surveys will enhance understanding of catchment and groundwater/surface water interaction (pathways).

10 of 29 CATCHMENT: COUNTY WATER RIVER GBNI1NB060603027

This water body has no recent habitat survey, but for WFD classification in Eco-region 17 hydromorphology is only used where all other elements are High. It can only confirm High status or decrease the score to Good, so this water body would still achieve Moderate class even with hydromorphology information. Solid geology in this water body is sandstone with a few patches of mudstone. Drift geology is till with patches of peat. The main land use is pastures with peat bogs and coniferous forestry present. There are many road and lane crossings over the river channels. Drumlougher Lough has been designated an Area of Specific Scientific Interest6 (ASSI) due to its fen and swamp communities.

MACROPHYTES DIATOMS SRP INVERTEBRATES IE status High Good Moderate Moderate Moderate

AMMONIA pH DO FISH 2014 Status Good High High N/a Moderate

DISCUSSION

This water body is classified as Moderate due to soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), invertebrates and the IE status. Without looking in more detail at the failing elements it is not possible to identify the cause. Phosphorus levels are influenced by a range of factors including sewage and fertilisers. Native broadleaf buffer strips reduce land runoff, while stabilising the banks and providing shade to the channel. The other biological and chemical classifications are all High/Good, but no fish data was available for classification. Road crossings can potentially be a barrier to movement of biota along a system, so these may need further investigation depending on the

11 of 29 fish classification. Widening of the channel, culverts and concrete bridge aprons can also pose a barrier to sediment and flow. The pressures map below shows the river stretches at risk from sediment deposition and areas at risk from of agricultural runoff. Several consents to discharge and a waste water treatment works are present.

13 of 29 CATCHMENT: FANE (CLAREBANE) RIVER WATER BODY GBNI1NB060608229

Survey team: Dawn Lynch and Kevin Lennon Survey date: 12/09/2012

This water body is situated between Castleblayney to the west and Crossmaglen to the east. Muckno Lough dominates the land surrounded by pastures, mixed forestry and an urban area at Castleblayney. Drumlougher Lough (to the east) has been designated an Area of Specific Scientific Interest7 (ASSI) due to its fen and swamp communities. Most of the river courses in this water body are lowland meandering typology, indicating channels with very little slope. There are several road crossings over the river channels. The limited aerial images of the NI area available to the author identify reduced broadleaf buffer strips. Sandstone is the dominant solid geology with till, sand and silt drift geology present in the NI portion of the water body.

Due to this water body being mostly in the ROI and mainly lake habitat, only one RHAT spot check survey was conducted by NIEA. A view of approximately 25m at Corliss Road scored Poor for habitat. This river reach flowed between Drumlougher Lough and Lough Patrick in a wide valley. As the photos above show the channel has been straightened and deepened. Bank vegetation was limited with very few trees and improved grass dominated the riparian area. The river was culverted under the road and substrate was not visible. In-channel barriers can restrict movement of biota, sediment and flow.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Reconnect the river with its floodplain where feasible • Plant a native broadleaf buffer strip where required • Investigate barrier posed by road crossings and alleviate where feasible

MACROPHYTES DIATOMS SRP INVERTEBRATES IE status N/a N/a N/a N/a N/a AMMONIA pH DO FISH 2014 Status N/a N/a N/a N/a Good

DISCUSSION

This water body is classified as Good based on RPS data. For WFD all Good water bodies should be protected and a decline in status prevented. Hydrology was moderate, but this element only has the ability to reduce the overall classification to Good. The hydrology and morphology results can be used to design programmes of measures to achieve and maintain Good ecological status. The pressures map below shows a consented discharge site and a small area at risk from agricultural runoff. Broadleaf buffer strips would reduce land run off. In Ecoregion 17 hydromorphology can only reduce an otherwise High water body to Good, but habitat results can be used to design programmes of measures.

This water body has no recent habitat survey and the hydrology scored Moderate. But for WFD classification in Eco-region 17 hydromorphology is only used where all other elements are High. It can only decrease the score to Good, so this water body would still achieve Good despite the habitat class. Solid geology is mainly sandstone with mudstone present. Drift geology is till and peat. The main channel is pool riffle glide typology with cascade sections in the upper reaches indicating good slope. This water body is dominated by pastures with land worked to the water’s edge in places.

DISCUSSION

This water body is classified as Good based on the IE status. For WFD all Good water bodies should be protected and a decline in status prevented. The pressures map below shows a few areas at risk of agricultural runoff. There is a small patch highlighted at risk of erosion. Trees are absent along the banks in many places. Native broadleaf buffer strips reduce the risk of land runoff into the water course, while securing the banks and shading the channel.

© Crown copyright and database rights OSNI EMOU206.2

SITE CODE IGR CLASSIFICATION FAE050 H8865912957 Moderate

One 300m RHAT survey was conducted near Cullaville in the north, but information will be required from the EPA to upgrade this site classification to a WFD water body score. For WFD classification in Eco-region 17 hydromorphology is only used where all other elements are High. It can only decrease the score to Good, so this water body achieves Poor final classification (2014) despite any habitat score. A hydromorphology survey can feed into the programmes of measures to improve habitat for Good status.

18 of 29 CATCHMENT: FANE (CULLAVILLE) RIVER WATER BODY GBNI1NB060608249

Survey team: Mary Toland and Mairead Murphy Survey date: 07/06/11

The main channel is pool riffle glide typology with a section of lowland meandering south of Lough Ross. Sandstone is the dominant solid geology and the drift geology is till, sand and silt. Pastures are the main land use and available aerial images show land worked to the edge in places with no buffer strips. A weir is marked on the main channel near Art Hamills Bridge.

At the site near Cullaville the River Fane is flowing along a braided channel. The substrate was dominated by bedrock although fine sediments were present. Bank side vegetation was mostly complex and the banks were a mix of earth and bedrock. There was some bank reinforcement for the bridge and the mill. The river was in its historic course, but the flow was impounded by a major weir for half of the survey reach, with the river directed down the mill channel. There were historically a series of eel weirs downstream of Art Hamill Bridge and a mill building was present at the bridge. Art Hamill Bridge is a major structure and the river has been widened to accommodate flows.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Investigate barrier posed to fish and organic matter by the weir

MACROPHYTES DIATOMS SRP INVERTEBRATES IE status Moderate Good Good Good Poor AMMONIA pH DO FISH 2014 Status High High High Poor Poor

DISCUSSION

The final classification is Poor based on fish and IE status. Macrophytes are Moderate, but all other elements are High and Good. Hydrology was Bad, but it is just a supporting element and can only reduce the overall class from High to Good. Without further information on the failing elements it is not possible to determine the cause of the Poor status. Fish may be impacted by pollution factors, as well as habitat problems such as silt on the river bed. In-channel barriers such as weirs and road crossings can be a problem for migration of biota. The pressures map below shows several consents to discharge and 2 waste water treatment works. There are areas at risk from agricultural runoff which may benefit from a native broadleaf buffer strip. Trees root the banks reducing bank erosion and slowing land runoff. They also shade the channel keeping water temperature more stable and provide organic matter to the water course.

20 of 29 CATCHMENT: FANE (BALLYNACARRY) RIVER WATER BODY GBNI1NB060608250

This water body has no recent habitat surveys, but for WFD classification in Eco-region 17 hydromorphology can only confirm a High status water body, or reduce it to Good. Habitat surveys are carried out to feed into programmes of measures with the aim of reaching and maintaining Good ecological status. Solid geology is sandstone with a basalt dyke present. Drift geology is mainly till with sand and silt present. The Fane is lowland meandering typology indicating low gradient. There is a pool riffle glide stream flowing into Lough Ross from the east. Lough Ross is a major feature in this water body. There is a licensed impoundment on the outlet because the Lough is a source for public water supply. Pastures are the main land use, and land appears to be worked to the edge with little buffer along the water courses. There is also a small patch of peat bog and an urban area at Crossmaglen present in this water body.

MACROPHYTES DIATOMS SRP INVERTEBRATES IE status Moderate Good Good Good Poor AMMONIA pH DO FISH 2014 Status High High/Good High Poor Poor

21 of 29 DISCUSSION

The final classification is Poor due to fish and IE status. Macrophytes are Moderate, but all other elements are High and Good. Without examining the data further it is not possible to determine the reason for the Poor classification. Lough Ross itself is at Moderate status. In-channel barriers can impact on migration of biota, and movement of sediment and flow through the system. Without further research it is not possible to know if fish are being impacted by habitat or other factors. The pressures map below shows several consents to discharge and areas at risk from agricultural runoff are identified. River reaches are also at risk from sediment deposition. Native broadleaf planting along water courses can reduce land runoff and root banks reducing erosion.

Survey team: Dawn Lynch and Kevin Lennon Survey date: 12/09/2012

This water body is between Carnagh to the north with Castleblayney and Muckno Lough to the south. There is sandstone solid geology with till and peat superficial geology shown on the available map layers. Most of the channels are pool riffle glide type indicating a good gradient with a range of flow types. Pastures are the main land use and aerial images show many areas worked to the edge with no buffer to the water course. Only 3 spot check RHAT surveys were carried out in this water body in the NI area. To classify the water body for hydromorphology more details are needed for habitat in the wider water body.

A view of 40m at Drumharvey Road (FNE051) scored Good upstream and Poor downstream. The channel was choked with vegetation and appeared more like wetland habitat than a river with no visible flow. There was a culvert under the road. Wetland and improved grassland were dominant along the riparian area with isolated trees in places close to the river. The Clarebane River at Castleblaney Road scored Moderate along the 15m viewed. The river was piped through a narrow culvert under the road and mixed forestry was present in the riparian area. Deepening and widening of the channel was present on this short stretch. A view of approximately 15m on the Clarebane River opposite the filling station scored Moderate. The river was deepened and put through a culvert. Downstream a weir was present. Trees were less than optimal along the banks with improved grass and urban in the riparian area.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Plant native broadleaf buffer strips where required • Investigate in-channel barriers such as culverts and weirs, and mitigate where feasible • Reconnect the river with its floodplain where feasible

MACROPHYTES DIATOMS SRP INVERTEBRATES IE status N/a N/a N/a N/a Moderate AMMONIA pH DO FISH 2014 Status N/a N/a N/a N/a Moderate

DISCUSSION

The final classification is Moderate due to the IE status. Without further details it is not possible to assess why this water body is not achieving Good ecological status. There are several road crossings which can be a barrier to biota, sediment and flow. Reduced buffer strips can leave the river at risk from land runoff and increased bank erosion. The pressures map below shows several consents to discharge. Pressures in ROI are not available on this map.
