1. Introduction
Atkins have been commissioned by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to install concrete inverts at three culvert structures in Co. Kerry; Killaha Culvert (KY-N22-024.00) and Curraglass Culvert (KY-N22-025.00), Derryreag Culvert (KY-N22-028.00).
The scope of this Natura Impact Statement (NIS) is for the proposed project at Killaha Culvert. The proposed project falls under the TII Munster Bridges Term Maintenance Contract No. 3. 1.1. Project Context
The Eirspan Bridge Management System covers all aspects of bridge management including routine maintenance. Over the past number of years TII have undertaken routine bridge maintenance contracts under Bridge Term Maintenance Contracts. A TII Bridges Term Maintenance Contract is currently being delivered for all National Road Bridges in Munster.
Under the Munster Bridges Term Maintenance Contract No. 3, Atkins has been appointed as the Consultant to carry out services under the Contract such as bridge inspections and reporting, ecological assessment, production of contract documents, tender assessment, contract administration and site supervision. The Contract involves the annual inspection and undertaking of routine and reactive maintenance works to all National Road Bridges across all counties in the Munster region, namely counties Cork (City & County), Kerry, Waterford, Tipperary, Limerick and Clare. This contract will run until 2021, where it is intended to carry out annual routine maintenance work between circa June and December in each year. All works from each year will be subject to the Appropriate Assessment (AA) process.
It is proposed to install concrete inverts to all existing corrugated steel culverts under National Roads in Munster. These culverts were installed during the 1970s and 80s. The culverts now show signs of significant corrosion and to maintain their structural integrity, a concrete invert liner is to be installed. Under the current Bridges Routine Term Maintenance Contract TII have selected 5 corrugated steel culverts for concrete invert lining. These culverts are presented in Table 1-1 below.
The culverts proposed for concrete invert installation initially underwent Screening for Appropriate Assessment in 2018. TII determined that likely significant effects to European sites, in view of their conservation objectives, could not be ruled out and thus required Appropriate Assessment. Thus, the proposed concrete invert installation at Killaha Culvert (KY-N22-024.00) requires further assessment.
For the purposes of assessment, the 5 culverts in Munster have been grouped according to their potential zone of influence and location within Water Framework Directive (WFD) catchments. Using this system, 3 groups were established. These groups are detailed in Table 1-1. Where European sites are located within the potential zone of influence of more than one grouping, the potential for cumulative impacts shall also be considered. Killaha Culvert is assigned to Group 3, which is located in the Laune-Maine-Dingle Bay WFD catchment.

1.2. Project Description
Transport Infrastructure Ireland undertake routine bridges maintenance works to structures associated with the National Roads Network. The proposed project comprises the provision of a concrete lining and associated instream works to the invert of Killaha Culvert, Co. Kerry. Killaha Culvert is located on the N22, between Coom and west of Ballyvourney. Killaha Culvert is a single span structure situated on the Rossalia stream, a tributary of the River Flesk. Killaha Culvert is located approximately 230m upstream of the River Flesk.
This corrugated steel structure has been identified as having durability and structural issues as a result of the erosion of previous bitumen protection linings and progressive corrosion of the metal particularly in the lower region. The purpose of the concrete invert is to mitigate further corrosion and section loss to the invert of the culvert and to restore and maintain it structural integrity.
It should be noted that the scope of the proposed project is the replacement of the existing concrete lining at the base of the culvert. Given engineering constraints for the structure, it is not feasible to retrofit a ledge for mammal passage within the existing structure. The design and installation of an entirely new structure would be required for this to be achieved, which is outside the scope of the proposed project.
The culvert will be dammed upstream and downstream within 10m of the culvert using double lined sand bags, filled with clean sand, tied and wrapped in heavy gauge polyethene.
There will be three dams erected in the stream; dam 1 upstream of the culvert and dam 2 &3 situated downstream of the culvert (Figure 1-1). Dam 2 and 3 will be erected first, 300mm high on the stream bed. Dam 1 will then be erected, and the stream flow pumped downstream of dam 3. The intake will be fitted with a filter to ensure no fish enter the pipeline. The outfall pipeline will be fitted with a silt sock. This will dissipate flow and prevent scour of the river bed. The stream between dam 1 & 2 will be electro fished and the fish placed in the pool created between dam 2 and 3. On completion of the electro fishing dam 2 will be raised to full height and a silt fence will be erected between dam 2 and dam 3 and a second silt fence will be erected just upstream of dam 3. The water between dam 1 and dam 2 will be pumped into the pooled area between dam 2 and dam 3 in advance of the silt fences. A shallow sump will be excavated (or naturally occurring) in the stream bed upstream of dam 2 to catch surface water and cleaning water from power washing the culvert. The collected water in the sump will be pumped downstream between dam 2 and dam 3 and discharge in advance of the silt fences.
Large boulders will be removed from the riverbed prior to placing a heavy-duty geotextile on the river substrate and stored within the works area for reinstatement on completion of the works. A hardstanding working platform will be placed over the geotextile upstream and downstream of the culvert. The working platform will consist of clean gravel/ crushed rock (typically 250mm thick depending on the riverbed ground conditions). Existing stream bed material within the metal culvert will be captured and stored within the works area for reinstatement on completion of the concrete lining. The corrugated steel culvert will be cleaned by power washing and hand-held mechanical tools such as wire brushing and grinding. The power washing water will be collected in a sump within the works area (i.e. upstream of dam 2) and discharged through the double silt fencing and dam 3 before entering the downstream waters. Arisings from the corrugated metal culvert cleaning will be collected within the culvert and disposed off-site to a licensed waste facility. Prior to placement of the lining, the corrugated steel culvert invert area to be lined will be primed with anti-corrosion primer, prior to placing 150mm thick (nominal) reinforced (stainless steel) concrete to circa one-third of the culvert height. On completion of the culvert lining works the temporary working platform and geotextile will be removed. The culvert bed will be reinstated with stream bed material that was removed from the culvert prior to the works and the stream bed will be regraded locally to the culvert ends with clean natural gravels to realign the culvert and stream bed levels.
As detailed above in Section 1.1.1, boulders shall be placed on the surface of the concrete lining to prevent laminar flow.
The drawing detail of the proposed works is included in Appendix A.
The Contractor’s method statement details how the works will be carried out and the works sequence. The Contractor’s method statement is included in Appendix B and is summarised in the text below along with general specifications of the works from the contract’s Works Requirements Specifications.

1.2.1. Working Methods
Under the Munster Bridges Term Maintenance Contract No. 3, the works are carried out according to the Works Requirements Specifications. This details the general specifications of the works, which includes the installation of concrete inverts to corrugated structures:-
“The contractor shall remove all silt/debris and deposit build-ups from the structure ensuring appropriate downstream silt containment measures are in place. The existing invert shall be prepared for the installation of the sprayed concrete invert (HTR-DR 1006 & 1007) by cleaning back to bright steel. Removal of all detrimental contamination and corrosion products using handheld tools to produce a generally bright appearance overall. The surfaces shall be free of embedded abrasive particles and corrosion products when viewed through a x10 illuminated magnifying glass. The invert shall then be coated with the corrosion inhibitor Galvafroid manufactured by Fosroc. An anti-corrosion steel primer, Nitoprime Zincrich Plus by Fosroc, will be used to prime the steel”.
Fosroc were contacted regarding the above products proposed to be used during the installation of the concrete invert, as the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for Galvafroid and Nitoprime Zincrich Plus categorise these products as ‘Aquatic Acute (1-H400) and Aquatic Chronic (1-H410)’. The SDS states that the products ‘contain a substance which is toxic to aquatic organisms and which may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment’. Fosroc confirmed that the danger to aquatic organisms arises from chlorinated paraffin, which is used as a plasticiser for the product when in a liquid state. These products will be applied during the installation of the concrete culvert in a dry working area. Once cured this material is bound in a polystyrene matrix and no longer mobile. Therefore, it is not regarded as a pollutant in its cured and solid state. These products are not epoxide resin-based coatings, which have been shown to potentially have adverse effects on the aquatic environment (Bell et al., 2020).
As stated in the Contract, existing deposits within the corrugated steel culvert will be removed and disposed of off-site, with the corrugated invert being cleaned back to bare steel using hand held tools. The exposed steel under the proposed concrete lining shall be treated with a corrosion inhibitor followed by an anti-corrosion steel primer. All shotcreting works shall be undertaken in accordance with ‘BS EN 14487: Sprayed Concrete – Execution’.
The installation of the culvert invert lining will be carried out during low water conditions in the months of July to September inclusive.
The Contractor’s method statement details how the works will be carried out in the works sequence. The Contractor’s method statement is included in Appendix B and is summarised in the text below.
5162555DG0027 | 2 | 18/03/2021 Atkins | 5162555DG0027 rev 2 - Killaha NIS_Revised.docx Page 3 of 54
The proposed project is anticipated to last approximately 2 weeks. The existing carriageway over the culvert shall remain in service at all times.
Typical sequence of works
The sequence of proposed works is sourced from the contractor’s method statement and detailed below: -
• In relation to existing bed gravels immediately upstream and downstream of structure: Existing river bed gravels shall be retained. Lay Terram 2000GT on existing riverbed gravel and construct temporary 300mm thick clean Class 6F granular capping over to form working platform. On completion of the works remove the granular working platform and geotextile. Supplement the existing gravels to IFI requirements local to the culvert ends;
• Existing gravel deposits within the corrugated steel culvert to be removed from the culvert and stored for reuse of the working platform.
• Power Washing of Culvert Lining: -
o The lining will be cleaned using a 25.000PSI Hydro Power Washer removing the loose / decayed material and exposing a clean Sa3 finish on the existing steel lining.
o The washing unit generator will be positioned in the works area on the road with the lance hose running down the bank into the mouth of the culvert.
o The washing will commence on upstream side, washing in the downstream direction.
o It is predicted that the power washing will remove all loose / decayed material but if required small angle grinders and wire brushes will be used to remove any small pockets that remain. This area will then be power washed again to ensure it is completely clean.
o A silt fence will be erected at the outfall of the culvert on the downstream side to ‘filter’ the resultant water from the washing of the steel lining.
o Arisings from the cleaning of the culvert lining will be collected within the culvert and disposed of off-site to a Conhor construction tip.
o A small pump will then be placed on the down – stream side to pump the water into the area between Dam 2 and Dam 3.
o A layer of silt fencing will be wrapped around the intake pipe of the pump as an additional filter layer and the outfall will have a de-watering bag placed around the end of hose.
• The invert shall then be coated with a corrosion inhibitor Galvafroid manufactured by Fosroc;
• An anti-corrosion steel primer, Nitoprime Zincrich Plus by Fosroc,will be used to prime the steel;
• Shotcreting:
o All shot-creting works shall be undertaken in accordance with "BS EN 14487 : sprayed concrete - execution";
o Nominal 200mm Thick C25/30 Shotcrete Lining with A393 Stainless Steel Mesh Reinforcement to 1/3 diameter height;
o The culvert lining works shall be executed during the low water flow in the months July to September inclusive;
o Set up pump on road within works area;

o Pump hoses will always be located within dry works area so there is no chance of concrete spillage entering the watercourse;
o Care to be taken when working beside live road;
o Direct concrete lorry to pump;
o One man to act as pump operative;
o 2 men required for nozzle and spraying;
o Spotter to stand at mouth of culvert and act as communicator between pump man and nozzle man;
o Googles or glasses to be worn at all times when shotcreting;
o Nominal 200mm to be sprayed on culvert face;
o Pump hoses etc. to be completely cleaned ready for next day’s pour.
• Works will take approximately 2 weeks;
• Excess concrete to be put in skip;
• Upon demobilisation all plant and materials to be taken away in Cumnor hiab truck.
• Existing culvert invert material that was stored for reuse to be placed back into the culvert to original levels;
• Material used for working platform to be put into 1T bags and removed from works area with hiab crane. Terram to be disposed of in skip;
• Flume to be removed from river and Dam 1 & 2 dismantled;
• Silt fences and dam 3 to be left in place until the sediment upstream of same has dissipated;
• Small step in river bed outside culvert to be reinstated with washed gravel as required;
• All remaining sandbags and silt fences to be lifted from river and taken to Conhor Construction tip in Ballincollig.

1.2.2. Hydraulic Assessment
A hydraulic impact assessment was prepared for the proposed project. The hydraulic assessment report is included in Appendix C. The hydraulic assessment was conducted to analyse the impact of the proposed lining on the culvert’s flow capacity, change in predicted water levels upstream and downstream of the culvert, and changes in the velocities during low flow events. The hydraulic model shows that the proposed works to the existing culvert will not have a significant impact on the hydrological and hydraulic regime of the watercourse. The hydraulic impact assessment supported a Section 50 licence application to the Office of Public Works (OPW). Section 50 consent has been obtained for the proposed project at Killaha Culvert (Appendix D), granted on 17th February 2021. A recommendation of the consent was that the proposed project should be designed to be resistant to scour and erosion, especially in a flood situation. The design of the proposed project incorporates this recommentdation.
The following conclusions, based on the hydrology estimations and further hydraulic model assessment for the baseline and proposed scenarios, were made in the hydraulic assessment for Killaha Culvert: -
• This hydraulic capacity assessment has been prepared in consideration of the requirements under Section 50 of the Arterial Drainage Act 1945.
• IH124 methodology has been used to derive flows for QMED, Q100 and Q100C1, their magnitudes being 3.444 m3/s, 7.223 m3/s and 8.668 m3/s respectively.
• For all the events, the impact due to lining is predicted only in the upstream, and no changes in the maximum water levels are predicted downstream of the Killaha culvert post lining.
• For the Q100 event and Q100CC event, there is an increase in stage of 80 mm and 200 mm respectively, predicted at the upstream of Killaha culvert upstream. This is within the OPW recommended limits.
• Under low flow conditions (QMED event), the proposed works is expected to reduce the flow depth to 120 mm, at the culvert downstream. This is less than the minimum requirement of 150 mm for fish passage.
• During low flows, there is a high velocity of 5.14 m/s predicted at the culvert downstream, due to the proposed works. This could pose challenges to fish movement.
• To enable smooth transition for fish movement at the culvert downstream, measures such as resting pools, placing large rocks to increase water levels and use of a rough liner material should be considered in discussion with Fisheries Ireland.
The properties and N22 road are not expected to be affected due to the proposed works.
As detailed above, a recommendation of the hydraulic assessment was for the provision of large rocks and pools in the channel immediately downstream of the culvert, in consultation with Inland Fisheries Ireland. Atkins consulted with Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in May 2020. IFI requested that a fisheries survey be undertaken, the findings of which are included in section 4.2.2 of this report. As a result of consultations with IFI, the design of the proposed project will incorporate the placement of boulders on the surface of the concrete lining to prevent laminar flow.
Prevention of loss of sediment and cementitious material to the watercourse were raised as a concern during the proposed installation of the concrete invert. These concerns will be addressed through the implementation of measures detailed in the working methods, contractor’s method statement (Appendix B) and mitigation measures set out in Section 6.3 of this NIS.

2. Scope of Study
The proposed project was previously subject to Screening for AA, where TII determined that the proposed project required Appropriate Assessment.
Thus, the aim of this report is to provide supporting information to assist the competent authority to carry out an Appropriate Assessment with respect to the proposed project. 2.1. Legislative Context
Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and Wild Fauna and Flora, known as the ‘Habitats Directive’ provides legal protection for habitats and species of European importance. Article 2 of the Directive requires the maintenance or restoration of habitats and species of European Community interest, at a favourable conservation status. Articles 3 – 9 provide the legislative means to protect habitats and species of Community interest through the establishment and conservations of an EU-wide network of sites known as European sites. European sites are Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) designated under the Habitats Directive and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) designated under the Conservation of Wild Birds Directive (79/409/EEC).
Articles 6(3) and 6(4) of the Habitats Directive set out the decision-making tests for plans or projects that could potentially affect European sites. Article 6(3) establishes the requirement for Appropriate Assessment: -
“Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans or projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of its implications for the site in view of the site's conservation objectives. In the light of the conclusions of the assessment of the implications for the site and subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the competent national authorities shall agree to the plan or project only after having ascertained that it will not adversely affect the integrity of the site concerned and, if appropriate, after having obtained the opinion of the general public.”
Article 6 (4) deals with the steps that should be taken when it is determined, as a result of Appropriate Assessment, that a plan or project will adversely affect a European site. Alternative solutions, imperative reasons of overriding public interest (IROPI) and compensatory measures need to be addressed in this case. Article 6(4) states: -
“If, in spite of a negative assessment of the implications for the site and in the absence of alternative solutions, a plan or project must nevertheless be carried out for imperative reasons of overriding public interest, including those of a social or economic nature, the Member State shall take all compensatory measures necessary to ensure that the overall coherence of Natura 2000 is protected. It shall inform the Commission of the compensatory measures adopted.
Where the site concerned hosts a priority natural habitat type and/or a priority species, the only considerations which may be raised are those relating to human health or public safety, to beneficial consequences of primary importance for the environment or, further to an opinion from the Commission, to other imperative reasons of overriding public interest.” 2.2. Appropriate Assessment Process
Guidance on the AA process was produced by the European Commission (EC, 2001; 2018), which was subsequently used to develop guidance for Ireland by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government in 2009 (DEHLG, 2009) and also by the National Parks and Wildlife Service in 20181 (NPWS 2018). These guidance documents set out a staged approach to complete the AA process and outlines the issues and tests at each stage. The stages outlined below are taken from the guidance document Appropriate Assessment of Plans and Projects in Ireland – Guidance for Planning Authorities (DEHLG, 2009).

Figure 2-1 - Appropriate Assessment Process (Source: DEHLG, 2009).
2.2.1. Screening for Appropriate Assessment
Screening is the process that addresses and records the reasoning and conclusions in relation to the first two tests of Article 6(3): -
i. Whether a plan or project is directly connected to or necessary for the management of the site, and ii. Whether a plan or project, alone or in combination with other plans and projects, is likely to have significant effects on a European site in view of its conservation objectives.
If the effects are deemed to be significant, potentially significant, or uncertain, then the process must proceed to Appropriate Assessment.
2.2.2. Appropriate Assessment
Appropriate Assessment considers whether the plan or project, alone or in combination with other projects or plans, will have adverse effects on the integrity of a European site, and includes any necessary mitigation measures.
The competent authority can only agree to the plan or project after having ascertained that it will not adversely affect the integrity of the site(s) concerned. If this cannot be determined, and where sufficient mitigation cannot be achieved, the alternative solutions need to be considered and the process proceeds to the consideration of alternative solutions.
2.2.3. Alternative Solutions
This examines any alternative solutions or options that could enable the plan or project to proceed without adverse effects on the integrity of a European site. The process must return to AA as alternatives will require assessment in order to proceed. Demonstrating that all reasonable alternatives have been considered and assessed, and that the least damaging option has been selected, it is necessary to examine whether there are imperative reasons of overriding interest (IROPI).
2.2.4. IROPI
This examines whether there are imperative reasons of overriding public interest for allowing a plan or project that will have adverse effects on the integrity of a European site to proceed in cases where it has been established that no less damaging alternative solution exists. Compensatory measures must be proposed and assessed, of which the Commission must be informed.
The AA process only progresses through each of the full process for certain plans and projects. For example, for a project not connected with the management of a European site and where no likely significant effects on a European site in view of its conservation objectives are identified, the process stops at Screening for AA. Throughout the process the precautionary principle must be applied, which requires that the conservation objectives of Natura 2000 should prevail where there is uncertainty (EC, 2001; 2018).

A desk study was carried out to collate information available on European sites in the vicinity of the proposed project. These areas were viewed using Google Earth, Google maps3 and Bing maps4 (last accessed on 09/06/2020).
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and National Biodiversity Data Centre (NBDC) online databases were reviewed concerning European sites and their features of interest in the vicinity of the proposed project. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mapping5 system was used to identify any hydrological connection between the proposed project and European sites.
Locations and boundaries of all European sites within the potential zone of influence of the proposed project were identified and reviewed using the NPWS online map viewer. Boundary shapefiles were also downloaded from this site to facilitate the preparation of project graphics.
Desktop information on relevant European sites were reviewed on the NPWS website, including the site synopsis for each SAC/SPA, the conservation objectives, the site boundaries as shown on the NPWS online map viewer, the standard Natura 2000 Data Form for the SAC/SPA which details conditions and threats of the sites, and published information and unpublished reports on the relevant European sites.
Relevant planning information for the surrounding area was reviewed using the planning enquiry systems of Kerry County Council. Search criteria were implemented to determine whether such projects or plans that would not be relevant to this study. This information was used to determine potential cumulative impacts from other plans / projects with the proposed project.

3.2.1. Geographical Information System
Under the Munster Bridges Term Maintenance Contract No. 3, Atkins developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) to store all ecological data relating to the Munster bridges and to facilitate easy interrogation of data both within the dataset and spatially. The GIS was used during the assessment of the 16 structures proposed for the installation of concrete inverts for geospatial analysis of all data using MapInfo V. 16. This included the examination of the locations and boundaries of European sites within 15km of all structures and determination of surface water connectivity between structures and European sites, using the EPA’s river network data.
Under the Munster Bridges Term Maintenance Contract No. 3, Atkins submitted a data request to NPWS with regard to freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera. This dataset was also used in the GIS. 3.3. Site Visit
An ecological walkover survey of the site was conducted by an Atkins ecologist during September 2019. The purpose of the survey was to survey the site for invasive plant species and to record the habitats and flora in the vicinity of the proposed project. The survey was chiefly concerned with recording the presence or likely presence of protected species and recording protected habitats or those habitats suitable to support protected species, in particular qualifying interests of European sites. The survey had regard for guidance sources such as NRA (2009) and Smith et al. (2011).
Aerial photos and site maps assisted the ecological walkover survey. Mammals and birds were surveyed based on incidental sightings, signs of activity during the survey and the identification of possible suitable habitats to support these species. Habitats were classified and named according to Fossitt (2000).
During the ecological survey the presence of invasive plant species such as Japanese knotweed Reynoutia japonica, Himalayan balsam Impatiens glandulifera and Giant Hogweed Heracleum mantegazzianum were recorded. 3.4. Consultation
Consultation took place with IFI and the OPW regarding the proposed installation of the concrete invert at Killaha Culvert. Atkins consulted with IFI in May 2020.
IFI requested that a fisheries survey be undertaken, the findings of which are included in section 4.2.2 of this report. As a result of consultations with IFI, the design of the proposed project will incorporate the placement of boulders on the surface of the concrete lining to prevent laminar flow. Concerns raised by IFI were in relation to the loss of sediment and cementitious material to the watercourse during the installation of the proposed concrete invert, which are addressed in the working methods, contractor’s method statement (Appendix B) and mitigation measures set out in Section 6.3 of this report. Consultation with the OPW was with respect to the findings of the hydraulic assessment (Appendix C). Section 50 consent has been obtained for the proposed project at Killaha Culvert (Appendix D). 3.5. Statement of Authority

4. Existing Environment
4.1. Desktop Review
Killaha Culvert is situated on a tributary of the River Flesk; the Rossalia stream. The River Flesk is ‘High’ status (as categorised under the WFD) in its upper reaches and ‘Good’ status along the reach where the Rossalia stream joins the River Flesk.
Fish species recorded in the lower reaches of the River Flesk, upstream of Lough Leane, were salmon (Salmo salar), European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) (CRFB, 2008).
The National Biodiversity Data Centre does not show any records for white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) on the River Flesk and its tributaries. This is most likely due to the underlying sandstone bedrock, resulting in conditions that are sub-optimal for crayfish, which need sufficient calcium concentrations in the water column to grow and harden their exoskeleton.
)
There are no pearl mussel records for the Rossalia stream, on which the culvert situated.
There are no records of otter on the Rossalia stream, nor on the River Flesk in the vicinity of Killaha Culvert. Road kill records for otter are not present in the vicinity of the culvert on the Road Kill Survey 2020 database6. 4.2. Site Visit
4.2.1. Killaha Culvert (KY-N22-024.00)
Killaha Culvert is a single span corrugated culvert structure. At the time of the site visit the wetted channel width upstream of the culvert was approximately 2.0-2.5m and channel depth approximately 10cm.The flow type was a pool-riffle sequence with cobble and gravel substrate. There was approximately 10-20% instream cover of filamentous algae.
Upstream of the culvert, there was a small area of broadleaved woodland and stone wall on the left-hand side (facing downstream). With this area the vegetation consisted of alder, willow, rowan, hazel, ash, ivy, nettle, creeping buttercup, herb Robert, hogweed (in dieback) and ferns. An agricultural field was located west of the stone wall. The right bank vegetation mainly consisted of alder, self-heal, vetches, harts tongue fern. A wet agricultural field bordered the right bank.
Downstream of the culvert on the left bank is the embankment of the N22 that grades into the riverbank. This consisted of beech, willow, sycamore, ferns, bramble, angelica, herb-robert and buttercup. The right bank was a steep bank with an agricultural field at the top of the bank. The treeline was dominated by willow, sycamore and beech.
Rabbit burrows were recorded in the embankment of the N22 and a badger dropping was recorded in the agricultural field south of the N22 that adjoins the stone wall on the upstream left riverbank. No otter activity signs were recorded in the vicinity of the culvert; however, the watercourse and riparian corridor could be used as a commuting and foraging corridor for otter.

The Rossalia stream contains very little marginal silts suitable for lamprey ammocoetes. The stream has the potential to support adult lamprey species and small salmonids, however the culvert is potentially a barrier to the passage of fish further upstream.
No non-native invasive plant species were recorded in the vicinity of the culvert.

4.2.2. Fisheries survey
A fisheries survey was commissioned by Atkins and conducted by Triturus Environmental Ltd. on the 27th July 2020. An electrofishing survey was carried out at four sites in total. Three survey sites were located upstream of Killaha Culvert. These were located approximately 1.3km (site 1), 0.5km (site 2) and immediately upstream (site 3) of the culvert. The fourth sampling site (site 4) was located downstream of the culvert.
Brown trout was recorded at all survey sites upstream of the culvert and eel were recorded at sites 2 and 3. Given the fish assemblage composition, generally the stream is a moderate to good quality brown trout nursery. The stream is a moderate quality spawning and holding area for adult trout. The stream is also a suitable eel nursery. The stream is not of value to lamprey as there are no suitable silts in which ammocoetes can burrow. No salmon were recorded upstream of the culvert.
Downstream of the culvert at survey site 4 the stream supported brown trout and eel. The brown trout were all juvenile trout (0+). A natural barrier to fish passage, approximately 0.5m in height, was recorded ca. 100m downstream of the culvert. Overall, the stream is of moderate quality brown trout nursery, spawning and holding area. The stream was not of value to lamprey but is a moderate eel nursery and a migratory route.

5. Screening for Appropriate Assessment
5.1. Connectivity of Proposed Project to European Sites
The ‘zone of influence’ (ZoI) for a project is the area over which ecological features may be subject to significant effects as a result of the proposed project and associated activities. This is likely to extend beyond the project site, for example where there are ecological or hydrological links beyond the site boundaries. The zone of influence will vary for different ecological features depending on their sensitivity to an environmental change (CIEEM, 2019).
A distance of 15km is recommended in the case of plans, as a potential zone of influence and this distance is derived from UK guidance (Scott Wilson et al., 2006). However, for projects the distance could be much less, and in some cases less than 100m. National Parks and Wildlife Service guidance7 advises that this must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with reference to the nature, size and location of the project, the sensitivities of the ecological receptors, and the potential for in-combination effects.
Thus, given the nature, scale and extent of the proposed project, the potential zone of influence will consider European sites with regard to the location of a European site, the QIs of the site and their potential mobility outside that European site, the Cause-Pathway-Effect model and potential environment effects of the proposed project.
5.1.1. Special Areas of Conservation
There is one SAC located within the potential zone of influence of the proposed project. This SAC is listed in Table 5-1 along with its features of interest.
Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks And Caragh River Catchment SAC (000365) is located downstream of Killaha Culvert. Therefore, this SAC is within the zone of influence of the proposed project.
5.1.2. Special Protection Areas
There are two SPAs located within the potential zone of influence of the proposed project. These SPAs are listed in Table 5-2 along with their features of interest.
Mullaghanish to Musheramore SPA (004162) is located approximately 16.3km to the east of the proposed project. This SPA is designated for hen harrier (Cirus cyaneus). Hen harrier forage up to ca. 5km from the nest site (NPWS, 2012). The activities associated with the construction phase of the proposed project at the culvert will be temporary in nature and will not result in loss or disturbance of supporting habitat regarding nesting sites and hunting ground for Hen Harrier, which is typically open bog, moorland, young conifer plantation and hill farmland (NPWS, 2012). Thus, given the nature and extent of the proposed works at both culverts, likely significant effects to the SPA are not anticipated. Thus, likely significant effects are not anticipated as a result of the proposed project and thus, this SPA is not considered further in this assessment.
Killarney National Park SPA (004038) is located 5.7km to the west of the proposed project. The proposed project does have hydrologically connectivity to the SPA. The SPA is located ca. 13.8km downstream of the proposed project. This SPA is designated for merlin (Falco columbarius) and Greenland white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons flavirostris). Greenland white-fronted geese migrate to Ireland during the winter months. The proposed project must be carried out during the summer months due to the instream fishery working window and hence, the construction phase of the proposed project and the overwintering period of the geese in Ireland will not coincide. Killarney National Park is estimated to support 5 pairs of Merlin (NPWS, 2014). Merlin typically breed from approximately May onwards in upland areas, i.e. Killarney National Park. Given the nature and extent of the proposed works at Killaha Culvert, loss or disturbance of supporting habitat regarding nesting sites and hunting

grounds will not occur. Thus, likely significant effects are not anticipated as a result of the proposed project and thus, this SPA is not considered further in this assessment.

5.2. Brief Description of European Sites
5.2.1. Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC (000365)
NPWS (2013) site synopsis describes the site and is summarised as follows:-
‘This very large site encompasses the mountains, rivers and lakes of the Iveragh Peninsula, and the Paps Mountains which stretch eastward from Killarney towards Millstreet. The majority of the site is in Co. Kerry, with a small portion in Co. Cork. This is the most mountainous region in Ireland and includes Carrauntoohil, the highest peak in the country at 1,039 m.
The Oak woodlands, occurring mostly around the Killarney lakes, are the habitat for which the area is perhaps best known. They form the most extensive area of native woodland remaining in Ireland and include Derrycunihy Wood, described as perhaps the most natural Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) wood in the country. The woods are typically dominated by Sessile Oak, with an understorey of Holly (Ilex aquifolium). The Strawberry-tree (Arbutus unedo) is a notable component of the woods and there are scattered areas of Yew (Taxus baccata).
The only sizeable Yew woodland in Ireland is found on the limestone of the Muckross peninsula. Here, some of the trees are up to 200 years old. The dense shade beneath the tree results in few herbs in the ground flora, but the bryophyte layer is well-developed and almost continuous.
Wet woodland, or carr, occurring on the low-lying limestone areas within the floodplain of Lough Leane, forms one of the most extensive areas of this woodland type in Ireland. The dominant canopy species are Alder (Alnus glutinosa), willows (Salix spp.), Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and Downy Birch (Betula pubescens), while the field layer is dominated by Remote Sedge (Carex remota) and Creeping Bent (Agrostis stolonifera).
The most common habitat types within the overall site are blanket bog, heath and upland grassland. The heath and grassland generally occur on areas with shallow peat and on the mineral soils of the steep mountain sides, while the blanket bog occurs on the more gentle slopes, plateaux and other level ground. Often the habitats occur in a mosaic, with exposed rock frequently occurring.
A variety of blanket bog types are represented from lowland valley to mountain blanket bog. Some of the best include: Cummeragh River Bog Nature Reserve, a domed bog which is perhaps the most southern intact blanket bog in the country; Ballygisheen, which contains one of the most extensive areas of intact lowland blanket bog in Co. Kerry; Coomacheo/Caherbarnagh, which combine to form the largest mountain blanket bog in the south-west; Eirk Bog Nature Reserve, a classic example of a bog intermediate between a raised and blanket bog; Mangerton Bog, an upland bog which grades into an unusual lichen heath seen at no other site; and Oolagh East, a quaking basin mire.
The site contains many lakes, but these can be broadly divided into two types: small upland corrie lakes and larger lowland lakes. Examples of the first type are Lough Murtagh and Lough Gortavehy in the Paps Mountains. The lowland lakes are mostly oligotrophic, although Lough Leane, the largest freshwater body in the region, has become somewhat mesotrophic as a result of pollution from Killarney town.
The rivers associated with these lakes are also of importance. The Caragh is relatively unpolluted from headwater to estuary, a rare phenomenon in Europe. The Flesk runs over Old Red Sandstone in its upper reaches and limestone as it nears Lough Leane. Both rivers support floating and submerged vegetation and rare invertebrates. Rocks around the smaller mountain streams often support a lush vegetation of ferns and bryophytes, most notably at Torc Waterfall.
The site is valuable for its rare fish species, five of which are listed on Annex II of the E.U. Habitats Directive: Brook Lamprey (Lampetra planeri), River Lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis), Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and Killarney Shad (Alosa fallax killarnensis). The Killarney Shad is a unique land-locked subspecies confined to the Killarney lakes. Also, of note
5162555DG0027 | 2 | 18/03/2021 Atkins | 5162555DG0027 rev 2 - Killaha NIS_Revised.docx Page 22 of 54
is the glacial relict, Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus), a Red Data Book species, a unique form of which is found in Lough Coomasaharn.
There are numerous rare invertebrates within the site. These include three E.U. Habitats Directive Annex II species: Kerry Slug (Geomalacus maculosus), and the Marsh Fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia). The Kerry Slug and Pearl Mussel pulations are of particular importance in a national context. Other species of note include: three chironomids of international importance found in the River Flesk; a wood ant (Formica lugubris) at one of only four Irish sites; a snail (Limnaea involuta), in Lough Crincaum, at its only known location; two dragonflies (Cordulea aenea and Somatochlora arctica), the former at one of only two known sites in Ireland and the latter at its only known Irish location; and several other aquatic and woodland species at their only known Irish locations.’
5.2.1.1. Features of Interest
Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC is designated for the habitats and species listed in Table 5-3. Due to the size and geographic range of the SAC, not all qualifying interests of the SAC are within the ZoI of the proposed project. It is important to note that the proposed project is hydrologically connected to the SAC and therefore, potential impacts will be indirect in nature to habitats and species in the vicinity of the bridge and indirect in nature via surface water pathways.
Given the location of the proposed project and the nature and scale of the proposed works, the qualifying interests of the SAC that are within the ZoI are habitats and species that are present in the vicinity of the bridge and surface water dependent habitats and species. These are summarised in Table 5-3 and are listed below:-
• Oligotrophic waters containing very few minerals of sandy plains (Littorelletalia uniflorae)
• Oligotrophic to mesotrophic standing waters with vegetation of the Littorelletea uniflorae and/or Isoeto- Nanojuncetea
• Water courses of plain to montane levels with the Ranunculion fluitantis and Callitricho-Batrachion vegetation
•
• Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus
• Brook Lamprey Lampetra planeri
• River Lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis
• Salmon Salmo salar
• Otter Lutra lutra
• Slender Naiad Najas flexilis
• Killarney Shad Alosa fallax killarnensis
5.2.1.2. Conservation Objectives
The conservation objectives of the qualifying interests within the ZoI of the proposed works are broadly summarised below for Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC:-
• To restore the favourable conservation condition of Oligotrophic waters containing very few minerals of sandy plains (Littorelletalia uniflorae);

• To maintain the favourable conservation condition of Otter Lutra lutra;
• To maintain the favourable conservation condition of Slender Naiad Najas flexilis;
• To restore the favourable conservation condition of Killarney Shad Alosa fallax killarnensis.
5.2.1.3. Potential Threats
‘The main land use within the site is grazing by sheep. In and around the National Park deer grazing is also common. The extensive grazing has caused damage to many of the terrestrial habitats, resulting in degradation of heath and blanket bogs and prevention of woodland regeneration. In the upland habitats the erosion caused by grazing is exacerbated by the exposed nature of the terrain. Apart from grazing, the woodlands are particularly threatened by Rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum) invasion: approximately two thirds of the Oak woodlands are affected, although a Rhododendron removal programme is underway in the National Park. The Yew wood has been adversely affected by heavy grazing for many years, but it is intended to control this in the near future by erection of a deer fence. The bogs are sensitive to grazing and are also threatened by turbary, burning and afforestation. Most of the lakes are very acid-sensitive and therefore vulnerable to afforestation within the catchment areas. Lough Leane has been subject to some eutrophication, although water quality appears to have improved since phosphates were removed from the sewage in 1985’ (NPWS, 2013).

Geomalacus maculosus (Kerry Slug) [1024] The distribution of Kerry slug is to the west of Lough Leane (NPWS, 2017). The habitats No in the vicinity of the culvert are not suitable to support Kerry slug. Thus, this species is not considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project.
Euphydryas aurinia (Marsh Fritillary) [1065] The lands in the vicinity of the culvert do not have potential suitable habitat for marsh No fritillary (i.e. devil’s bit scabious present with mean height less than 50cm and with less than 10% cover of scrub more than 1m tall). Thus, this species is considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project. Petromyzon marinus (Sea Lamprey) [1095] Adult sea lamprey spawning has been recorded in at the upper reaches of the Laune Yes catchment and no barriers to passage have been found in the River Flesk (NPWS, 2017). Thus, this species is not considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project. Lampetra planeri (Brook Lamprey) [1096] The River Flesk has the potential to support river and brook lamprey. Yes Lampetra fluviatilis (River Lamprey) [1099] Thus, this species is considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project.

Qualifying Interest Location Within Zone of Influence Salmo salar (Salmon) [1106] The River Flesk has the potential to support salmon and salmon have been recorded in Yes the River Flesk (CFB, 2008). Thus, this species is considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project. Rhinolophus hipposideros (Lesser Horseshoe Bat) Lesser horseshoe bat summer and winter roosts and the associated 2.5km foraging No [1303] buffers are not in the vicinity of the culvert. Thus, this species is not considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project. Lutra lutra (Otter) [1355] The River Flesk and its tributaries have the potential to support otter. Yes Thus, this species is considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project. Trichomanes speciosum (Killarney Fern) [1421] Hectads in which Killarney fern has previously been recorded are all located west or No south west of Killarney town and thus are not in the vicinity of the proposed project. Thus, this species is not considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project. Najas flexilis (Slender Naiad) [1833] Slender Naiad is present in Lough Leane. Applying the precautionary principle, the lake Yes habitats that Lough Leane supports are within the ZoI of the proposed project. Therefore, the same approach is being applied to this species as it is dependent on water quality and water colour. Thus, this species is considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project. Alosa fallax killarnensis (Killarney Shad) [5046] Killarney shad is unique to Lough Leane. The proposed project is hydrologically linked to Yes Lough Leane. Although the proposed culvert is located ca. 14km upstream of Lough Leane, the precautionary principle is being applied and this species is considered to be within the potential ZoI of the proposed project.

6. Appropriate Assessment
6.1. Introduction
This section of the report assesses the European site in more detail and examines where likely significant effects may arise. Where these effects are identified, avoidance and mitigation measures are proposed to offset these effects. These are discussed below in the following sections. 6.2. Impact Evaluation
6.2.1. ‘Do Nothing’ Impact
In the case of the proposed project the ‘do nothing’ approach would be not to repair the existing culvert and not to install the concrete invert to its base. In the absence of the proposed projects, the culverts will continue to convey flows under the N22. As the existing culvert is experiencing corrosion, in the absence of repair works, this corrosion will continue and could ultimately result in structural failure of the culvert.
The existing culvert does not present an artificial barrier to fish migration, as shown by the results of the fisheries survey. The ‘do nothing’ approach would result in the status of the culvert regarding fish passage remaining unchanged.
Killaha Culvert is located ca. 230m upstream of the Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC. Otter from the SAC could travel upstream and travel through the culvert. Given the nature of Killaha Culvert, the sides of the culvert are dry at normal flows. Therefore, otter can freely pass through the culvert during normal flows. It is possible that during high flows, where the sides of the culvert are no longer dry, otter may not be able to travel through the culvert and may access the N22 road as a result. The proposed project is for the installation of a concrete invert at Killaha Culvert. The hydraulic assessment demonstrates that the proposed project will not significantly affect the hydrological regime of the watercourse, nor the capacity of the culvert. Therefore, the installation of the concrete invert will not change the conditions under which Killaha Culvert is passable to otter.
6.2.2. Potential impacts during the works
In summary and as outlined in Section 5 above, the features of interest that are within the zone of influence of the proposed works are: -
• Oligotrophic waters containing very few minerals of sandy plains (Littorelletalia uniflorae)
• Oligotrophic to mesotrophic standing waters with vegetation of the Littorelletea uniflorae and/or Isoeto- Nanojuncetea
• Water courses of plain to montane levels with the Ranunculion fluitantis and Callitricho-Batrachion vegetation
• Freshwater Pearl Mussel Margaritifera margaritifera
• Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus
• Brook Lamprey Lampetra planeri
• River Lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis
• Salmon Salmo salar
• Otter Lutra lutra
5162555DG0027 | 2 | 18/03/2021 Atkins | 5162555DG0027 rev 2 - Killaha NIS_Revised.docx Page 28 of 54
• Slender Naiad Najas flexilis
• Killarney Shad Alosa fallax killarnensis
The attributes and targets for the conservation objectives of the qualifying interests within the zone of influence of the proposed project listed above are set out in Table 6-1. f The proposed project is not located within these catchments.
6.2.2.1. Direct impacts
The proposed project is located upstream of the SAC boundary. Given the nature and extent of the proposed project, direct impacts to the qualifying interests of the SAC will not occur during the construction phase of the proposed project.
6.2.2.2. Indirect impacts
The site of the proposed project is hydrologically linked to the SAC via surface water pathways. The mobilisation of silts, nutrients, hydrocarbons and concrete materials, could potentially occur during the works. Spillages of products in their liquid state, e.g. primer products, could also potentially occur during the works.
The release and entry of these materials to the respective watercourses, and in turn the River Flesk, has the potential to result in localised impacts of sedimentation and increased algal and macrophyte growth in the watercourses downstream, which in turn could impact on the aquatic biota that the watercourses support and hence, their ecological status.
Qualifying interests such as salmon, lamprey and freshwater pearl mussel may be impacted by the release of sediments as they are sensitive to changes in water quality. Mobilisation of sediments may affect lamprey and salmon spawning beds due to sedimentation of river substrates and the increase of fine sediments to spawning habitats. Freshwater pearl mussel require very good water quality with cobble and gravel substrate containing very little fine sediment, and algal and plant growth. Increases in turbidity of the water column would affect the filter-feeding of pearl mussel and may cause stress to adult mussels, which could result in the mussels clamming up. Floating river vegetation is also sensitive to siltation and changes in substrate composition as this affects the rooted structure of the plants and their ability to photosynthesise.
The potential impacts to species such as salmon and lamprey may also indirectly affect otter and the availability of a food source (fish biomass). Salmon and lamprey are important food sources for otter and a decline in these would have an indirect negative impact on otter.
The lake habitats, slender naiad and Killarney shad, are also surface water dependent habitats and species. The water quality of Lough Leane is important to maintain the habitats and species that it supports. This lake habitat is mainly impacted by decreased water clarity, eutrophication and changes to hydrological regime and morphology. The proposed project has the potential to impact of the water quality of the River Flesk, and hence potentially the water quality of Lough Leane.
The potential entry of polluting materials such as hydrocarbons and concrete material into the watercourses would have a negative impact on all aquatic qualifying interests of the SAC that are within the zone of influence of the proposed project.
Due to the presence of site staff at the culvert for 2 weeks, i.e. the duration of the works, there is potential for temporary disturbance of otter that may travel upstream from the SAC. However, given the scale, extent and duration of the works, this impact is not anticipated to be significant. The dam setup will not cause fragmentation of the riparian corridor and thus, otter will be free to travel through the culvert. However, it is acknowledged that this will most likely be when the work crew is not present at the site, i.e. at the end of each working day until the following morning when works re-commence and at weekends.
5162555DG0027 | 2 | 18/03/2021 Atkins | 5162555DG0027 rev 2 - Killaha NIS_Revised.docx Page 29 of 54
6.2.3. Potential impacts post completion of the works
As shown by the hydraulic impact assessment, during low flows there is a high velocity of 5.14m/s predicted at the culvert downstream that could pose a risk to fish movement. However, the incorporation of boulders on the surface of the concrete lining means that the installation of the concrete invert at Killaha Culvert will not alter the status of the culvert regarding fish passage, nor will it alter the conditions under which the culvert is passable to otter. The operation of the proposed project will not generate further emissions to the watercourse.

6.2.4. In-combination Impacts
In-combination impacts with the following plans and projects were considered during the preparation of this report. The search of Kerry County Council was based on a map-based search.
Kerry County Development Plan sets out strategies and objectives to provide sustainable development within Co. Kerry. The Plan contains a number of natural heritage and biodiversity policies, which includes the protection of international and national designated sites, protect existing green infrastructure and provide additional green infrastructure, and the eradication of invasive species. A Natura Impact Report was prepared for the Plan, which assessed the Plan regarding its potential to adversely affect the integrity of European sites. The findings of the AA were integrated into the Plan, ensuring that potential adverse effects have been and will be avoided, reduced or offset. Thus, an AA determination was made by Kerry County Council that the Plan is not foreseen to have any adverse effects on the ecological integrity of any European Site. The current NIS is being prepared to ensure that the proposed project will not have an adverse impact on the integrity of European sites. Given the elements outlined above, the County Development Plan is not anticipated to act in-combination with the proposed project.
There have been no projects that have been granted planning in the immediate vicinity of the culvert. Projects that have been granted planning permission in the within the River Flesk catchment, i.e. downstream of the culverts, include the construction of new domestic dwellings and associated septic tanks and percolation areas, extensions to residential dwellings, retention of existing developments, typically extensions to domestic dwellings, or the construction of new domestic dwellings or extensions to such dwellings. Regarding potential impacts to water quality, these projects will have to comply with the EPA’s Code of Practice for Wastewater Treatment Systems for Single Houses (EPA, 2009; 2018).
The 3 Groupings of culverts proposed for repair works in the Munster region (Table 1-1) are located in the WFD catchments Tralee Bay – Feale, Suir, and Laune – Maine – Dingle Bay respectively. The proposed project is located in the Laune – Maine – Dingle Bay catchment. The culverts in Group 1 and Group 2 are located in separate WFD catchments to Group 3 and these WFD catchments do not drain to the Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC. There are 3 culverts being progressed in Group 3, which also carry the N22 over tributaries of the River Flesk. These culverts will also be subject to AA and a NIS will be prepared for the proposed reinstatement of invert linings on these culverts. Mitigation measures will be detailed to ensure no residual effects and as such, there will be no adverse effect on the SAC. Therefore, in- combination effects between the proposed project and other proposed culvert projects will not occur.
Farmers and landowners may also undertake general agricultural operations in areas adjacent to the proposed works and along the river, which could potentially give rise to impacts of a similar nature to those arising from the proposed works. This could potentially result in additional an increased risk to water quality. Many agricultural operations are periodic, not continuous in nature, and qualify as a Notifiable Action that requires consultation with National Parks and Wildlife Service in advance of the works e.g. reclamation, infilling or land drainage within 30m of the river, removal of trees or any aquatic vegetation within 30m of the river, and harvesting or burning of reed or willow (NPWS, 2018). Agricultural operations must also comply with the EC (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Agriculture) Regulations 2011 and amendment 2017 S.I. No. 456/2011 and 407/2017 in relation to activities covered by the regulations: - • restructuring of rural land holdings, • commencing use of uncultivated land or semi-natural areas for intensive, • land drainage works on lands used for agriculture.
A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) is required under Regulation 9 if it is likely to have a significant effect on a European designated site. The drainage or reclamation of wetlands is controlled under the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2011 and the European Communities (Amendment to Planning and Development) Regulations 2011. Therefore, the in-combination effects of agricultural operations and the proposed project are not likely to be significant.

6.3. Mitigation Measures
This section describes the mitigation measures required to ensure there are no residual effects on the integrity of the European site Table 7-1 summaries how these mitigation measures will result in no adverse effect on the integrity of European sites.
6.3.1. General Measures
1. An Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) will be appointed and will supervise all aspects of the critical works on site, in particular initial site set up, dam/ silt fence installation, pouring of concrete and use of chemicals. The ECoW will be a suitably qualified and experienced ecologist, which will be appointed by TII. The ECoW will ensure compliance of mitigation measures on site and liaise with IFI and NPWS staff where required.
2. A pre-construction survey for otter will be carried out upstream and downstream of the culvert within one month of commencement of works on site.
3. In accordance with the NRA guidelines, the following guidelines shall be followed: -
• No physical damage or disturbance to an otter holt shall occur.
• No works shall be undertaken within 150m of any holt at which breeding females or cubs are present.
• No wheeled or tracked vehicles should be used within 20m of an active non-breeding holt.
4. If an otter holt is recorded during the pre-construction survey and is likely to be damaged or disturbed by the proposed works, a derogation licence will be applied for from NPWS. Any further mitigation measures required by the derogation licence shall be implemented.
5. The proposed works shall be carried out during July 1st to September 30th inclusive.
6. The site manager shall monitor the 10-day weather forecast. The works shall not take place during high river flows or prior to forecasts of heavy rainfall. High river flows constitute river flows that will top the dams or will be in excess of pumping capabilities. If such conditions are forecast, the works area shall be secured and all materials, including the elements of the dam system (sandbags, silt fences, pumps and associated pipes and silt socks) will removed from the works area and riverbanks. Upon subsidence of flows, the dam system shall be re-instated upstream and downstream of the culvert and the works area de-watered before works can re-commence. This shall be supervised by the ECoW.
7. A Temporary Traffic Management zone will be created within the road corridor. This shall be used for parking and deliveries of materials.
8. All site staff will be informed of best practice methodologies to be employed on site via the dissemination of a tool-box talk. This shall include the requirement for protection of aquatic habitats, the sensitivity of the SAC. No invasive species were recorded in the vicinity of the culvert.
9. Works will be carried out during day-time hours, except in the event of an emergency.
10. Any chemical, fuel and oil stores will be located on an impervious base within a secured bund with a storage capacity 110% of the stored volume.
11. Biodegradable oils and fuels will only be used.
12. Drip trays will be placed underneath any standing machinery to prevent pollution by oil/fuel leaks. Where practicable, refuelling of vehicles and machinery will be carried out on an impermeable surface in one designated area well away from any watercourse or drainage (at least 20m).
5162555DG0027 | 2 | 18/03/2021 Atkins | 5162555DG0027 rev 2 - Killaha NIS_Revised.docx Page 39 of 54
13. Emergency spill kits will be available on site and staff will be trained in their use. A reporting system will be established on site to record accidents and/or spillages on site and the resultant action taken to remedy the incident.
14. Operators will check all equipment, machinery and vehicles on a daily basis before starting work to confirm the absence of leakages. Any leakages should be reported immediately and addressed.
15. Daily checks will be carried out and records kept on a weekly basis and any items that have been repaired/replaced/rejected noted and recorded. Any items of plant machinery found to be defective will be removed from site immediately or positioned in a place of safety until such time that it can be removed. All items of plant will be checked prior to use before each shift for signs of wear/damage.
6.3.2. Specific Measures
16. A dry working area will be achieved by setting up a dam system. There shall be three dams in total; one upstream of the culvert and two downstream of the culvert. Each dam will consist of tightly packed sandbags that are filled with clean sand. The sandbags will be double lined and sealed. Only sealed sandbags will be used to create the dams. No clay or soil material is permitted to ‘seal’ the sandbag dams.
17. The integrity of the sandbag dams must be monitored to ensure that the works area is isolated from the live channel. This shall be monitored by the site manager twice daily; in the morning before the commencement of works and at the end of the day prior to leaving site.
18. Two silt fences shall be installed between the two sandbag dams situated downstream of the culvert. Any water pumped into this dammed area shall be in advance of the silt fences. Thus, all water pumped from the work area must pass through both silt fences before re-entering the river.
19. The pipe used to flume flows through the works area will be fitted with a filter to ensure no fish enter the pipe. The outfall of the pipe will be fitted with a silt sock. The silt sock shall be changed and/ or cleaned at regular intervals. The interval for replacing the silt sock will be dependent on the turbidity of the watercourse and therefore this shall be monitored by the site manager twice daily at a minimum; in the morning before the commencement of works and at the end of the day prior to leaving site.
20. The temporary working platform, i.e. terram and 300m thick class 6F granular capping, must be clean and free of any foreign debris before being installed on the existing riverbed gravels.
21. There can be no entry of debris and / or waste material from the works area to the live channel. The debris must be collected within the dry work area, removed from the work area and disposed of appropriately off site at Conhor Construction tip in Ballincollig, Cork.
22. Powerwashing of the culvert will not involve any water abstraction from the river. Water will be brought to site in a bowser by the Contractor. Power washing can only take place when the sandbag dam system and silt fences are in place. The wash unit generator will be positioned on the road and the lance hose will run down the bank into the work area.
23. Any water arising in the work area, as a result of power washing or seepage through the upstream dam, will be pumped from the working area into the area between the two downstream dams in advance of the silt fences. The pump will be located on the temporary working platform and fitted with a drip tray. All associated pipes will be fitted with a silt sock and/ or de-watering bag.
24. Primer products shall be applied to surfaces in the morning of a workday. This is to ensure that the required 6-hour curing time can be achieved before leaving the site at the end of the day. Primer products shall not be applied to surfaces within 48 hours of a heavy rain forecast.
25. Only quantities of primer products required for use in that working day shall be available at the site. These shall be kept is a bunded container located at least 20m from the watercourse until required for use.

26. The Shotcrete pump will be located on the road above the work area. The integrity of pump hoses must be checked prior to commencing works Pump hoses will be located within the dry work area to ensure no spillage of concrete to the live channel.
27. At no point will any equipment be washed out within the work area or adjacent to a watercourse.
28. Sandbag dam no. 3 and the silt fences shall be left in place until any sediment plume has dissipated.
29. The gravel area on which the temporary working platform was located will be loosened, as it may have been compacted during the works. This area will be reinstated with washed and clean gravel.
30. All material used on site, including the sandbags, silt fences, silt socks, de-watering bags and components of the temporary working platform, will be removed from site and disposed of at Conhor Construction tip in Ballincollig.
6.3.3. Biosecurity protocols
No invasive species were recorded in the vicinity of the culvert.
Biosecurity protocols shall be implemented during the construction phase of the proposed project to prevent the introduction of invasive species listed on the third schedule of the EC (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 to site and the further spread of diseases.
1. All equipment intended to be used at the site shall be dry, clean and free from debris prior to being brought to site.
2. If drying out of equipment is not feasible, equipment should be either: -
i. power steam washed at a suitably high temperature or at least 65 degrees, or
ii. disinfected with an approved disinfectant, e.g. Virkon or an iodine-based product. It is important that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed and if required, the correct contact times are allowed for during the disinfection process. Items that are difficult to soak should be sprayed or wiped down with disinfectant.
3. During the duration of the proposed project, if equipment is removed off-site to be used elsewhere, the said equipment shall be cleaned and disinfected prior to being brought back to the works area of the proposed project.
4. Appropriate facilities shall be used for the containment, collection and disposal of material and/or water resulting from washing facilities of vehicles, equipment and personnel.
5. Importation of materials shall comply with Regulation 49 of the EC (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011.
A pre-construction invasive species survey will be conducted prior to the commencement of works on site. If any invasive species are recorded, these shall be fenced off using a 7m buffer from the outermost edges of the invasive species plant(s).

7. Conclusions
This NIS provides the competent authority with supporting information to undertake the Appropriate Assessment in relation to the proposed project at Killaha culvert, Co. Kerry, and its potential indirect impacts via surface water pathways on the Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC.
The NIS has examined the potential impacts of the proposed project on the integrity of the SAC, alone and in combination with other plans and projects, considering the site’s structure, function and conservation objectives. Where potentially significant effects were identified, mitigation measures have been recommended to assist in offsetting these effects.
Following a comprehensive evaluation of the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts on the qualifying interests for the SAC, and the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, it has been concluded by the authors of this report that there will be no residual impacts and the proposed project will not have an adverse effect on the integrity of Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC.
To confirm this conclusion, the following checklist taken from DEHLG (2009) has been completed.
Table 7-1 Checklist of Site Integrity (DEHLG, 2009).
Does the project or plan have the potential to:- Y/N
Cause delays in progress towards achieving the N - Following mitigation, no residual effects have been identified conservation objectives of the sites? that will prevent achievement of the conservation objectives of the Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC.

Page 1 of 20 CCF800/23 Rev 0 • All refueling to take place within the site set up on the hard shoulder and not anywhere near the watercourse • Spill kits will be readily available on site • When entering the stream, and when leaving the, all operatives must wash down their wellingtons / waders and any tools that come into contact with the water with active Virkon Aquatic. This will avoid the risk of any cross contamination when working on other bridges in other areas. • Operatives to be made familiar with Inland Fisheries Ireland Biosecurity Protocol 2010 prior to commencing the works to ensure all guidelines are followed • Sandbags to be placed as bund to dry area below area of impact to prevent any lime mortar entering the watercourse • All birds’ nests are protected by law. Nests which might be encountered under bridges include dipper and grey wagtail. The Dipper nests in closed / domed nests often located on supports under bridges. Kingfisher may also nest in sand banks close to bridges. Our ecologist will advise on general ecological questions as works progress. If a nest is discovered, the area is to be left undisturbed and the ecologist advice should be sought. If a known nesting site would be impacted be proposed repair works, mitigation in the form of artificial nest boxes must be provided.
Site Set Up
• TTMP set up No1 to be set up as per diagram below
• Site vehicles will park within the temporary traffic management set up on the hard shoulder • All materials will be stored within the TM set up

Water Management
1) The stream will be over-pumped through a flume that will be attached roof of the culvert at a high level. 2) The pump will be located in a shelf that will be dug into the slope above the culvert. 3) Life ring to be placed in full view on pole at edge of river 4) Sand to be brought to site in 1T Bags from Roadstone Classis. Sand to be clean building sand. 5) Approximately 60 no. hessian sand bags to be filled with sand and handed down to the river bed at upstream side of culvert 6) Sand bags should only be half filled with sand and tied & sealed to ensure no sand enters the watercourse 7) Bottom layer of sandbags should be “walked in” to riverbed to create good seal between sand bags and river bed 8) Sand bags to be built up in stretcher bond to desired height 9) There will be three dams erected in the stream; • Dam 1 upstream of the culvert and dam 2 &3 situated downstream of the culvert (See above). • Dam 2 and 3 will be erected first, 300mm high on the stream bed. • Dam 1 will then be erected and the stream flow pumped downstream of dam 3. The intake will be fitted with a filter to ensure no fish enter the pipeline. • The outfall pipeline will be fitted with a silt sock. This will dissipate flow and prevent scour of the river bed. • The stream between dam 1 & 2 will be electro fished and the fish placed in the pool created between dam 2 and 3. • On completion of the electro fishing dam 2 will be raised to full height and a silt fence will be erected between dam 2 and dam 3 and a second silt fence will be erected just upstream of dam 3. • The water between dam 1 and dam 2 will be pumped into the pooled area between dam 2 and dam 3 in advance of the silt fences. • A shallow sump will be excavated (or naturally occurring) in the stream bed upstream of dam 2 to catch surface water and cleaning water from power washing the culvert. • The collected water in the sump will be pumped downstream between dam 2 and dam 3 and discharge in advance of the silt fences
Page 3 of 20 CCF800/23 Rev 0 10) The outlet pipe will be placed into a 225mm non perforated pipe installed through the culvert at high level. It will be secured by a temporary bracket that will be fixed to at high level along the culvert. 11) The bracket will consist of a threaded bar arrangement with unit strut drilled through the steel lining with an expanding anchor bolt fitting at the end to hold it in place. The threaded rod arrangement will allow for height adjustment to accommodate for a gravity fall on the pipe. 12) Sump and 2 inch pump to be set up on down stream side of culvert to pump away any excess water that has managed to get through the sandbag dam. This water is to be pumped into the area between dam 1 and dam 2 13) Cumnor will arrange consultation with IFI prior to mobilisation. Electrofishing requirement will be agreed upon at this consultation.

Typical sequence of works:
1. In relation to existing bed gravels upstream and downstream of structure : Existing river bed gravels shall be retained. Lay Terram 2000GT on existing riverbed gravel and construct temporary 300mm thick clean Class 6F granular capping over to form working platform. On
Page 4 of 20 CCF800/23 Rev 0 completion of the works remove the granular working platform and geotextile. Supplement the existing gravels to IFI requirements to the culvert ends.’ 2. Existing gravel deposits within the corrugated steel culvert to be removed from Culvert and stored for reuse on the working platform. 3. Power Washing of Culvert Lining: • The lining will be cleaned using a 25.000PSI Hydro Power Washer removing the loose / decayed material and exposing a clean Sa3 finish on the existing steel lining. • The washing unit generator will be positioned in the works area on the road with the lance hose running down the bank into the mouth of the culvert. • The washing will commence on upstream side, washing in the downstream direction. • It is predicted that the power washing will remove all loose / decayed material but if required small angle grinders and wire brushes will be used to remove any small pockets that remain. This area will then be power washed again to ensure it is completely clean. • A silt fence will be erected at the outfall of the culvert on the downstream side to ‘filter’ the resultant water from the washing of the steel lining. • Arisings from the cleaning of the culvert lining will be collected within the culvert and disposed of off site to a Conhor construction tip. • A small pump will then be placed on the down – stream side to pump the water into the area between Dam 2 and Dam 3. • A layer of silt fencing will be wrapped around the intake pipe of the pump as an additional filter layer and the outfall will have a de-watering bag placed around the end of hose.

4. The invert shall then be coated with a corrosion inhibitor such as Galvafroid manufactured by Fosroc or equivalent approved. 5. An anti-corrosion steel primer such as Nitoprime Zincrich Plus by Fosroc or equivalent to be used to prime the steel. 6. Shotcreting o All shot-creting works shall be undertaken in accordance with "BS EN 14487 : sprayed concrete - execution" o Nominal 200mm Thick C25/30 Shotcrete Lining With A393 Stainless Steel Mesh Reinforcement to 1/3 diameter height o The culvert lining works shall be executed during the low water flow in the months July to September inclusive o Set up pump on road within works area o Pump hoses will always be located within dry works area so there is no chance of concrete spillage entering the watercourse o Care to be taken when working beside live road o Direct concrete lorry to pump o One man to act as pump operative
o 2 men required for nozzle and spraying
Page 5 of 20 CCF800/23 Rev 0 o Spotter to stand at mouth of culvert and act as communicator between pump man and nozzle man o Googles or glasses to be worn at all times when shotcreting o Nominal 200mm to be sprayed on culvert face o Pump hoses etc to be completely cleaned ready for next days pour. 7. Works will take approximately 2 weeks. 8. Excess concrete to be put in skip. 9. Upon demobilisation all plant and materials to be taken away in Cumnor hiab truck 10. Existing culvert invert material that was stored for reuse to be placed back into the culvert to original levels. 11. Material used for working platform to be put into 1 T bags and removed from works area with hiab crane. Terram to be disposed of in skip 12. Flume to be removed from river and Dam 1 & 2 dismantled 13. Silt fences and dam 3 to be left in place until the sediment upstream of same has disapated. 14. Small step in river bed outside culvert to be reinstated with washed gravel as required 15. All remaining sandbags silt fences to be lifted from river and taken to Conhor construction tip.

1. Introduction
Atkins has been commissioned by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in respect of National Roads bridges maintenance for Munster and North West regions of Ireland. As a part of this, 45 corrugated steel culverts are proposed to be lined with concrete. This assessment is being done for the Killaha culvert (Structure ID: KY- N22-024) to analyse the impact of proposed lining on the culverts flow capacity and its impacts on the flood levels upstream and downstream of the culverts.
2. Site Location
The Killaha culvert (Structure ID: KY-N22-024) is located at the national primary road N22 near Killarney in the County of Kerry, approximately 8 km south east of Killarney town as indicated in Figure 2-1.

3. Existing Culvert Description
The Killaha culvert is horseshoe shaped culvert pipe made of corrugated steel. The culvert is 64 m long. The upstream face of the culvert has a maximum width of about 5.94 m, with a height of 2.401 m. The downstream face has a maximum width of 4.68 m and a height of 2.023 m respectively. The cross sections upstream and downstream of the culvert have the river width approximately equal to culvert width. The banks are mostly covered with grasslands and vegetation. The current condition of the culvert is shown in Figure 3-1. No significant silt deposition is evident from the figure.

5. Catchment Description
The Killaha culvert lies on an unnamed tributary to River Flesk, approximately 300 m upstream of its confluence with River Flesk. The catchment is small with area of 1.7 km2 and is completely rural. The Killaha culvert drainage catchment and the culvert location as taken from the FSU portal (Location number: 22_3433_3) is shown in Figure 5-1. The catchment descriptors from the FSU Portal for the subject site are tabulated in Table 5-1 . The main stream is steep as can be noted from a high value of main stream slope (S1085 = 42.3402 m/km). The catchment is flashy and has moderate impermeability (BFISOIL = 0.5796), and there is no attenuation due to lakes/reservoirs (FARL = 1). This indicates that the catchment has a quick response to the rainfall events. There are two properties identified on the left bank in the vicinity of the culvert. The N22 which is a primary road lies within the catchment. The historical reports from the web portal (floodmaps.ie) do not indicate any flooding at the culvert and at the properties. However, the River Flesk at its downstream has a high probability (10% AEP) of flooding and the flooding outline is shown in Figure 5-2. Due to the limited availability of data, this study is limited to assessment of the impact of proposed works on the culvert and will not assess the effect of downstream flooding.

5.1.1. Flood Studies Update (FSU) Programme Method The FSU Programme provides an improved methodology to estimate design rainfall and flood estimates at both gauged and ungauged catchments in the Republic of Ireland. The FSU method is applicable for catchments over 25 km2. However, for comparative purposes, the FSU design flows were also considered in this study. The physical catchment descriptors (PCD) rural estimate of QMED from the FSU Portal for the ungauged outlet at the culvert location is 1.369 m3/s, As the catchment is completely rural, only the rural estimates were taken for computation.
FSU QMED Estimation As the subject site is ungauged, pivot catchments were reviewed for hydrological similarity. However, all the pivot catchments were very big (>100 km2), and the closest hydrological similarity value computed was 4.54 (recommended value is 1), hence all pivot catchments were rejected. Thus, the PCD QMED estimate was applied with the standard factorial error of 1.37 (for 68% confidence interval - upper limit) to ensure that the flows are not underestimated, and the final QMED values was calculated to be 1.875 m3/s (1.369 x 1.37).
FSU 100yr Design Flow Estimation Pooled flood frequency analysis was performed for the subject site in the FSU Portal, and the growth factor for various flood frequencies was estimated as shown in the Figure 5-3 below.
Figure 5-3 - Growth factors from FSU Portal
Contains sensitive information 5162160DG0005 | 0.0 | March 2020 Atkins | Killaha Culvert Capacity Assessment.docx Page 8 of 22
The growth factor of 1.92 for 100-year design flood was used for the assessment. The upper limit of the standard error associated with growth factor in pooling analysis for EV1 distribution is 2%, and hence the error adjusted growth factor is 1.958. Finally, the 100-year flood (Q100) is calculated as 3.672 m3/s. A 20% uplift for climate change was applied to obtain 100-year flood with 20% climate change (Q100C1) as 4.407 m3/s. Table 5-2 summarizes the design flows for Killaha culvert from the FSU analysis.

5.1.2. Institute of Hydrology Report No. 124 Method The Institute of Hydrology (IoH) Report 124 method was used to determine the mean annual flow (QBAR), hence Q100 and Q100C1 for Killaha culvert catchment. The Institute of Hydrology Report No.124 (IH 124) 3 parameter equation to determine mean annual flow (QBAR) is shown below: . . . = 0.00108
A desktop study was carried out to determine the values of the parameters for the Killaha culvert catchment. The soil for both the catchments was classified into Classes 4 and 5 based on maps from UKSUDS website. An area-weighted soil index calculation based on the soil classes was carried out to arrive at the soil index for the catchment. The description of parameters of the IoH 3-variable equation and the determined values for the catchment are listed in Table 5-3.
Table 5-3 - Catchments parameters (for use in IoH 124 and FSR 3) Parameter Description Values Area Catchment area (km2) 1.712 SAAR Standard Average Annual Rainfall (mm) 1792.03 SOIL Soil index (no units) 0.48
The values listed above were applied to the calculations, and the QBAR was calculated. Further, the standard factorial error of 1.65 (for 68% confidence interval) was applied and the estimate is shown in Table 5-3. For IoH 124 method, the growth factor for 1 in 100-year flood is 1.96 (Flood Studies Report). Thus, Q100 and Q100C1 are estimated and listed in Table 5-4.

5.1.3. FSR3 Analysis The FSR 3-variable equation for estimating mean annual flood (QBAR) for an ungauged rural catchment is: ( ) = 0.00066 . . .
The catchment parameters listed in Table 5-3 were used and the QBAR was calculated with a factorial error of 1.58 for 68% confidence interval) applied to the estimate and is listed in Table 5-5. For FSR3 method, the growth factor for 1 in 100-year flood is 1.96 (Flood Studies Report). Thus, Q100 and Q100C1 are estimated and listed in Table 5-5.
Table 5-5 – Design flow estimates – FSR3 method Event Flow (m3/s) QBAR 3.616 Q100 7.087 Q100C1 8.504
The flows determined using the three methods discussed in Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 were reviewed. The FSU analysis was carried out just for comparative purposes as it is applicable on catchment areas greater than 25 km2. The comparison of Q100 estimates (Table 5-6) from the other two different methods are comparable, thereby indicating the robustness and reliability of estimates for the study area. The FSR3 and IH124 methods are better suited for catchment sizes greater than 0.4 km2.

FSU 3.672
7.223 IH124 7.087 FSR3 Hence for the Killaha catchment which has an area greater than 0.4 km2 but less than 20 km2, the flows computed using IH124 methodology was taken forward for hydraulic modelling as it provided a conservative estimate. The QMED event corresponds to the median flood flow (1 in 2-year return period) and is a reasonable estimate for low flows as there is 50% exceedance probability. The QMED flow for IH124 method is estimated as: = 1.07 Thus, QMED is computed as (3.685/1.07) = 3.444 m3/s. The summary of flows taken forward for hydraulic modelling is listed in Table 5-7.

6. Development of Hydraulic Model
A 1D hydraulic model was developed for the tributary with the Killaha culvert added. The purpose was to estimate the impact of the proposed lining on the culvert capacity, change in predicted water levels upstream and downstream, and changes in the velocities during the low flow events. Due to the uncertainty and limitations in hydrologic and hydraulic modelling along assumptions as listed in Section 6.2, the reader is advised to exercise caution and interpret the results as indicative changes in river channels levels due to the proposed works. The results should not be used for any direct assessment of flood risk in the region. 6.1. Hydraulic Model Selection HEC-RAS 5.0.7 was selected to construct the 1D hydraulic model for the study area. 6.2. Hydraulic Modelling Assumptions The following are the main assumptions in the hydraulic model development: 1. The channel roughness has been defined based on land use information provided in survey drawings 2. The shape of the culvert was approximated to arch type, based on the survey information 3. Based on the survey information, the culvert inlet was assumed as a 90° headwall with no wingwalls. 4. In the proposed scenario, lining is assumed to be done at the bottom one-third. Roughness has been adjusted to reflect this. 5. For model simplification, the reduction in width has been applied to the full cross section for the proposed scenario 6. No significant silt and debris deposition at the culvert bottom have been assumed for all the scenarios 6.3. Topographical Survey Data Topographical survey data from IO Geomatics (2019) has been used to develop the hydraulic model. The data includes river cross sections and culvert and deck details. The survey covers the watercourse for a length of 222 m upstream of the culvert, and 200 m downstream of the culvert. The extent of the survey and the survey data received are shown in Appendix A of the report. 6.4. Channel & Associated Bank Roughness Values No roughness values were provided with the survey data. Therefore, based on the survey information on the land use type, the roughness values were assigned. From the survey information, the channel consisted mostly of stone/gravel. Hence, a Manning’s ‘n’ value of 0.04 was used for the channel. The bank comprised of vegetated grasslands and forestry, and a Manning’s ‘n’ value of 0.06 and 0.10, respectively were used. In the proposed scenario, the culvert is assumed to be lined with reinforced concrete. Table 6-1 below lists the assigned Manning’s roughness values in the hydraulic models.
Table 6-1 - Roughness values for the watercourse and Killaha culvert Watercourse Features Manning’s Roughness River bed 0.040 River banks 0.060 / 0.100 Culvert bottom and top (existing) 0.028 Culvert bottom - upto one-third height (proposed) 0.012 Culvert top - above one-third height (proposed) 0.028

6.5. Boundary Conditions A flow-time boundary, with constant flow was applied at the upstream and a normal depth boundary was applied as the downstream boundary condition. 6.6. Hydraulic Model Development A total channel length of 487 m along the unnamed tributary to the River Flesk was modelled. This includes river cross sections, the Killaha culvert and the boundaries. The location of cross sections used for hydraulic model development is shown in Figure 6-1. The cross sections and their relative positions to the culvert is tabulated in Table 6-2.

The survey data was used to develop a ‘baseline’ model representing the existing situation. The ‘baseline’ hydraulic model was further used to create a ‘proposed’ scenario model, where lining is provided in the culvert. Below are the changes in the ‘proposed’ scenario model. Manning’s roughness value was updated to 0.012 upto the bottom third to represent the concrete liner, considering that no silt will be deposited (also see assumption-6 under Section 6.2.) The invert levels at the entry and exit were updated to reflect the 150mm thick concrete lining. The width of the culvert was updated to reflect the 150 mm concrete lining. This underestimates the area, however it is a conservative approach Culvert details before and after the lining are shown in Table 6-3.

7. Analysis of Model Simulations
The baseline and proposed models were simulated under mixed flow condition for the following scenarios: Impact of proposed works (Q100) Impact of climate change (Q100C1) Low flow condition (QMED) 7.1. Impact of Proposed Works The baseline and proposed hydraulic models were simulated for 1 in 100-year event to predict the impacts of proposed works. The maximum stage results from hydraulic modelling for Q100 are presented in Table 8-1. A long section plot indicating the maximum stage along the watercourse for 1 in 100-year event is also shown in Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1 - Long section plot -Q100
For the existing scenario, Table 8-1 indicates that the predicted water level is 65.42 mOD at the upstream face of the culvert (Section 265). This level would increase by 80 mm to 65.5 mOD following the proposed works due to raising the culvert invert levels by 150mm by installing the proposed lining. Also, the left bank is currently overtopped by a maximum of 160 mm between Sections 265 and 273. The proposed works are likely to increase the water level at these locations by a maximum of 80 mm. Two properties are located 60 m upstream of these overtopped sections and are not expected to be at risk from flooding.

7.2. Impact of Climate Change The hydraulic models were simulated for 1 in 100-year plus 20% climate change event to assess the hydraulic impacts of the lining works under a climate change scenario. Table 8-1 indicates that in the Q100+CC scenario the existing predicted water level is 65.51 mOD at the upstream face of the culverts increasing by 200 mm to 65.71 mOD following the proposed works due to raising the culvert invert levels by 150mm by installing the proposed lining. In addition, existing water levels would overtop the left bank by a maximum of 160 mm at Sections 265 and 273 (as in Q100). The proposed works are predicted to increase the water level by a maximum of 200 m at these locations. Two properties are located 60 m upstream of this location and are not expected to be affected by the overtopping. The assessment results indicate that the proposed works will increase water levels upstream of the culverts by approximately 200 mm in the Q100+CC scenario. This is primarily due to raising the culvert invert levels by 150mm. 7.3. Impact on the Low Flows To assess the availability of water for fish passage during low flows, the hydraulic model was assessed for the QMED event. The flow depth is summarised in Table 8-2 and the velocity in Table 8-3. The modelling results in Table 8-2 suggest that for the baseline scenario, the depth of flow is 210 mm at the upstream and 430 mm at the downstream end of the culvert. The corresponding flow velocities are in the range of 2.78 m/s to 1.37 m/s for the upstream and downstream ends respectively (Table 8-3). From Table 8-2, it can be noted that the proposed works causes the flow depth at the upstream end of the culvert to increase by 80 mm, to 290 mm. The corresponding decrease in velocity is from 2.78 m/s to 2.16 m/s. At the downstream, the flow depth reduced by 310 mm, to 120 mm. There is a significant increase in the velocity from 1.37 to 5.14 m/s. From the above analysis, the proposed works may cause significant worsening of the present situation with regards to fish passage. Therefore, measures to reduce the exit velocity and increase the water levels at the channel immediately downstream of the culvert should be considered in discussion with Fisheries Ireland. This could include placing large rocks, providing transition pools at the downstream to drown the culvert inlet and using a liner material which offers higher resistance to flow.
TII have liaised with IFI. To mitigate laminar flow and high velocity at low flow TII have agreed to place isolated boulders within the culvert and to roughen the concrete lining surface to reduce flow velocity. The lined culvert depth is 2.25m. Q100+CC depth of flow is less than 50% the lined culvert depth, accordingly, we have concluded that the proposed low flow measures will not have a significant impact on flow capacity.

8. Conclusions
Based on the hydrology estimations, and further hydraulic model assessment for the baseline and proposed scenarios, following conclusions are made: This hydraulic capacity assessment has been prepared in consideration of the requirements under Section 50 of the Arterial Drainage Act 1945. IH124 methodology has been used to derive flows for QMED, Q100 and Q100C1, their magnitudes being 3.444 m3/s, 7.223 m3/s and 8.668 m3/s respectively. For all the events, the impact due to lining is predicted only in the upstream, and no changes in the maximum water levels are predicted downstream of the Killaha culvert post lining. For the Q100 event and Q100CC event, there is an increase in stage of 80 mm and 200 mm respectively, predicted at the upstream of Killaha culvert upstream. This is within the OPW recommended limits. Under low flow conditions (QMED event), the proposed works is expected to reduce the flow depth to 120 mm, at the culvert downstream. This is less than the minimum requirement of 150 mm for fish passage. During low flows, there is a high velocity of 5.14 m/s predicted at the culvert downstream, due to the proposed works. This could pose challenges to fish movement. To enable smooth transition for fish movement at the culvert downstream end, TII have liaised with IFI and will incorporate measures such are boulders and roughened concrete surface to mitigate laminar flow and high velocity at low flows. These above mitigation measures will not significantly impact on the culvert Q100CC flow capacity. The properties and N22 road are not expected to be affected due to the proposed works.

Our Ref: 511 - 2020
Re: Section 50 Application SW1526 – To analyse the impact of proposed lining on an existing culverts flow and its impact on the existing Killaha culvert (Structure ID: KY-N22-024) located under the national primary road N22 near Killarney, Co Kerry approximately 8km south of Killarney town.
I refer to the above Section 50 application. Atkins Ireland Ltd has been commissioned by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in respect of National Roads bridges maintenance for Munster and North west regions of Ireland, have applied for Section 50 Consent. The assessment is for the Killaha culvert to analyse the impact of proposed lining on the culverts flow capacity and its impacts on the flood levels upstream and downstream of the culvert. The documentation submitted has been examined and I am to confirm that the consent of the Commissioners of Public Works under Section 50 of the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945 is given to the proposal with the following recommendations:
Recommendation
1) Proposed works should be designed to be resistant to scour and Erosion especially in flood situation. The culvert shall be inspected regularly for evidence of scour and debris and any defects made good. 2) Detail design for the proposed scheme is the responsibility of the applicant.
It should be noted that consent is given only for the purpose of Section 50 and does not absolve the recipient of responsibility for any adverse effects caused by this installation to any third party.

The Commissioners of Public Works are not responsible and accept no liability for any loss or damage whatsoever caused as a result of this development.
Yours sincerely,
