  • Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape
    Offaly County Development Plan 2021-2027: Draft Stage Chapter 4 Biodiversity and Landscape Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape 4.1 Introduction Biodiversity or biological diversity simply refers to all living things on earth; people, plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms, the ecosystems and habitats which they form part of and their interdependence and interconnectedness with each other. The conservation of biodiversity is an integral part of good environmental management. Natural capital is the earths stock of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. It is from this natural capital that people derive a wide range of services often called ecosystem, services which make human life possible. In line with Regional Policy Objective (RPO) 3.4 of the Eastern and Midland Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy, the Council promotes an ecosystems services approach in the preparation of this County Development Plan. The four main types of ecosystem services are provisioning, regulating, habitat and cultural, each of which are defined in Table 4.1 below; Table 4.1 Definition of Each Type of Ecosystem Service Type of Ecosystem Services Definition Provisioning services Products obtained from ecosystems such as food, fresh water, wood, fibre, genetic resources and medicines. Regulating services Benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes such as climate regulation, natural hazard regulation, water purification, waste management, pollination and pest control. Habitat services Provision of habitats for migratory species and to maintain the viability of gene-pools. Cultural services Non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems such as spiritual enrichment, intellectual development, recreation and aesthetic values.

  • Appendix A: River Basin District Maps the Numbers on the Maps Correspond to the WWDL Registration Number of Each Agglomeration E.G
    Appendix A: River Basin District Maps The numbers on the maps correspond to the WWDL Registration Number of each agglomeration e.g. 34 is D0034-01. The full list of numbers is located at the end of Appendix A. To view a larger version of each map go to www.epa.ie/downloads/pubs A pass (green circle) indicates that the agglomeration complied with effluent quality and monitoring frequency standards. Agglomerations that failed due to effluent quality are divided into those that failed with <50% of samples taken over the limits for any parameter in the Directive (amber circle) and those plants with ≥50% of samples over the limits for at least one parameter (red triangle). This separates plants with occasional failures from those with persistent effluent quality failures throughout the year. Agglomerations that failed due to lack of secondary treatment in place (as per the Directive) are also shown (red square). A fail due to inadequate sample numbers taken is shown as a red circle. Agglomerations with no treatment (black square), preliminary treatment (black triangle) and primary treatment (black circle) are also indicated on each RBD map.

  • Soils of Co. Carlow
    Soil Survey Bulletin No. 17 Soils of Co. Carlow by M. J. Conry and Pierce Ryan National Soil Survey of Ireland An Foras Taluntais (THE AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE) Published by an Foras Taluntais, 33 Merrion Road, Dublin 4. Price: Thirty Shillings FOREWORD The programme of the National Soil Survey for determining the fundamental characteristics of Irish soils and for mapping their distribution was initiated shortly after An Foras Taliintais commenced activities in 1958. Its primary aim is to develop an inventory of our soil resources as a basis for rational land-use planning. The main activities of this survey are being carried out on a county basis. When introducing the first of the reports in the county series—that covering the Soils of County Wexford—the role of soil survey in agricultural development, and indeed in general planning activities, was outlined. Carlow, although small in extent, is one of the most important agricultural areas in the country. It is also a county of contrasts, in its general landscape features, in its soils and in its agriculture. The rolling lowlands of the extensive central portion of the county are dominated by deep, well-drained fertile soils. These are devoted to mixed farming with a high proportion of tillage and a fair concentration of live­ stock, principally dairy cattle and sheep. The hills associated mainly with the Castlecomer Plateau consist of physically difficult and mostly poorly drained soils. Here livestock farming is at a low to moderately intensive level and forestry is being extended. On the steeply sloping flanks of the Blackstairs Mountains, which carry degraded mineral soils on the lower slopes and peats at the higher elevations, the emphasis is on sheep raising mostly at low intensity levels, and forestry is proving a useful alternative form of land use.

  • Croaghaun Wind Farm – Final Pre-Planning Information Booklet
    Croaghaun Wind Farm Final Pre-Planning Information Booklet Dear Homeowner, First and foremost, we hope this finds you safe and well in these challenging times, and adjusting as best as possible to new ways of going about daily life. As you may be aware, Coillte’s Renewable Energy business has been actively exploring a wind farm development opportunity close to Myshall, Co. Carlow. The community engagement model which we use within our team has given us an opportunity to meet with a very high proportion of people residing within 2 km of the potential wind farm. The proposed Croaghaun Wind Farm project is now at a stage where all the environmental assessment data has been gathered and collated to inform the final proposed layout. This brochure sets out a detailed overview of all aspects of the proposed Croaghaun Wind Farm project and we look forward to addressing any queries that may arise. We propose to address any queries by phone call or email as the current Covid-19 Government restrictions do not allow for in person meetings. To supplement the detail in this brochure we have also put together an online virtual tour of the project with added detail on topics such as landscape and visuals, transport and delivery routes and maps with added functionality. This can be accessed on the home page of the project website (www.croaghaunwindfarm.ie). Please be assured that we will continue to make every effort to ensure that we provide you with all the information you need in order to fully understand the details of this proposed project.

    Bord na Mońa Pollagh Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan 2020 Pollagh Bog Cutaway Bog Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan 2020 1 Bord na Mońa Pollagh Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan 2020 This document seeks to address the requirements of Condition 10.2 of IPC License Ref. P0500-01: “The licensee shall prepare, to the satisfaction of the Agency, a fully detailed and costed plan for permanent rehabilitation of the cutaway boglands within the licensed area.” This licence condition requires Bord na Móna agree with the EPA the measures that will provide for rehabilitation, i.e. stabilisation of Pollagh Bog upon cessation of peat production and compliments the licence requirement to decommission the site. Rehabilitation generally comprises site stabilisation with natural colonisation with or without targeted management. Industrial peat production has now permanently ceased at Pollagh Bog. In addition, to preparing this document to comply with Condition 10 of IPC Licence Ref. P0500-01, due regard was also given to the proposed ‘Peatlands Climate Action Scheme’ (PCAS) announced by the Minster. This Scheme will see the Minister support, via the Climate Action Fund, Bord na Móna in developing a package of measures, ‘the proposed Scheme’, for enhanced decommissioning, rehabilitation and restoration of cutaway peatlands referred to as, the Peatlands Climate Action Scheme’. However, only the additional costs associated with the additional and enhanced rehabilitation, i.e, measures which go beyond the existing standard mandatory decommissioning and rehabilitation requirements arising from Condition 10 will be eligible for support. The additional costs of the proposed Scheme will be supported by Government through the Climate Action Fund, administered by the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), while the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will act as the Scheme regulator.
