EPA Export 26-07-2013:15:53:02 Kildare County Council Kildare D0178-01 This is a response to Further Information Request due on the 15th of September 2009. Q 7 and Q 8. Reference: D0178-01 (Kildare). Question 7. Confirm whether there are any other known plans or projects that may have an in-combination effect on the River Barrow aquatic environment. Provide a description and assessment where applicable. In response to Question 7, known plans or projects that may be having an in-combination effect on the Site (River Barrow cSAC 002162) are identified through the screening process for Appropriate Assessment, as follows. Stage 1 – Initial Screening Step 1 – Management of the Site The plan is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site. Step 2 – Description of Plan or Project The Kildare Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is located just outside of Kildare Town. The WWTP is situated between the Tully Stream and the N7. The WWTP has a design capacity of 9,700 population equivalent For inspection (P.E.) purposes. The only. WWTP comprises of inlet works with Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. screen and grit traps, followed by primary sedimentation and high rate biological & percolating filters. Phosphorus dosing is carried out before the final settlement and clarifying stage. The dewatering facility comprises of sludge thickening, Polyelectrolyte make up and centrifuge before the sludge is removed off site to Osberstown WWTP sludge treatment facility. It is proposed to upgrade the treatment plant commencing in 2010 to a design capacity of 28,000PE. The upgrade will be in two phases comprising of an initial phase to provide a capacity of 14,000PE1 and will remove the discharge point from the Tully Stream and it will discharge directly into the River Barrow. The outfall from the existing Kildare Town WWTP discharges to the Tully Stream, which is situated approximately 700m downstream from the Kildare Town WWTP (co-ordinates: E 273402, N 210747). 1 Information source – Kildare Town WWTP Application for Waste Discharge Licence; www.epa.ie Page 1 of 6 EPA Export 26-07-2013:15:53:02 Kildare County Council Kildare D0178-01 It is necessary to consider this project in combination with other plans/projects in the catchment impacting on the aquatic environment. Kildare Town WWTP is situated about 10km west of Monasterevin WWTP which discharges to the River Barrow and Rathangan WWTP is located approximately 9km north of Kildare Town and discharges to the Slate River. There is one IPPC licensed facility in Kildare Town that discharges treated effluent (primary, secondary & tertiary treatment) to the foul sewer system, prior to discharging to the Tully Stream. There is also one Section 4 licensed facility which discharges treated effluent (primary and secondary treatment) into the Tully Stream. With the proposed upgrade of the Kildare Town WWTP it is planned that both companies will connect directly into the new upgraded WWTP with the proposed outfall to the River Barrow. The Monasterevin WWTP is located on the western side of Monasterevin Town. The WWTP treats wastewater from the Monasterevin Town area and has a design capacity of 9000 (PE). The treatment process within the WWTP has been designed so that the WWTP can operate to 6000 PE initially, increasing to 9000 PE when required. The River Barrow flows through Portarlington forming the borders between Counties Offaly and Laois. Portarlington WWTP in Co. Laois discharges to the River Barrow upstream of Monasterevin. It has a capacity of approximately 8,000 P.E. and a current load of 7,000 P.E. However, it is committed to a capacity of 9,000PE through granted planning permissions to For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. 2 date. The WWTP consists of Preliminary, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary treatment . Development of the Portarlington region during the few last years has led to the overloading of the existing WWTP. The WWTP is proposed to be upgraded as part of the Water Services Investment Programme with an estimated completion date of 2014. Portarlington WWTP is an extended aeration plant consisting of preliminary treatment, full nitrification and denitrification of the wastewater in an extended aeration tank, secondary clarification and sludge treatment3. Step 3 – Characteristics of Site The WWTP discharges treated effluent into the Tully Stream, the River flows in a southerly direction for approximately 18km where it enters the main channel of the River Barrow Site 2 Information sourced from the Portarlington Waste Discharge Licence application to the EPA www.epa.ie 3 Information source: Portarlington WWTP Application for Waste Discharge Licence; www.epa.ie Page 2 of 6 EPA Export 26-07-2013:15:53:02 Kildare County Council Kildare D0178-01 (Code 002162). The River Barrow is 192km long and the catchment area is approximately 2,983km2. The main tributaries of the River Barrow coming from the Kildare Town area are the Black Gutter Stream and the Tully Stream. The Site is a candidate SAC selected for alluvial wet woodlands and petrifying springs, priority habitats on Annex 1 of the E.U. Habitats Directive. The site is also selected as a candidate SAC for old oak woodlands, floating river vegetation, estuary, tidal mudflats, Salicornia mudflats, Atlantic salt meadows, Mediterranean salt meadows, dry heath and eutrophic tall herbs, all habitats listed on Annex I of the E.U. Habitats Directive. The Site is also selected for the following species listed on Annex II of the same directive – Sea Lamprey, River Lamprey, Brook Lamprey, Freshwater Pearl Mussel, Nore Freshwater Pearl Mussel, Crayfish, Twaite Shad, Atlantic Salmon, Otter, Vertigo moulinsiana and the plant Killarney Fern4.

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

  • 3Rd Cycle Draft Barrow Catchment Report (HA 14)
    3rd Cycle Draft Barrow Catchment Report (HA 14) Catchment Science & Management Unit Environmental Protection Agency August 2021 Version no. 1 Preface This document provides a summary of the water quality assessment outcomes for the Barrow Catchment, which have been compiled and assessed by the EPA, with the assistance of the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO), local authorities and RPS consultants to inform the draft 3rd Cycle River Basin Management Plan. The information presented includes status and risk categories of all waterbodies, details on protected areas, significant issues, significant pressures, source load apportionment modelling and load reduction assessments for nutrients where applicable, an overview of the 2nd Cycle Areas for Action and a list of proposed 3rd Cycle Areas for Action. These characterisation assessments are largely based on information available to the end of 2018, including the WFD Status Assessment for 2013-2018. Protected Area assessments are based on water quality information up to 2018 for Natura 2000 and Salmonid Waters; 2019 for Drinking Water; and 2020 for Nutrient Sensitive Areas and Bathing Waters. The purpose of this draft report is to provide an overview of the situation in the catchment, draw comparison between Cycle 2 and Cycle 3, and help support the draft River Basin Management Plan 2022-2027 consultation process. Once the consultation process is completed the report will be finalised to reflect any changes and comments made as a result of the consultation process. 2 Water Framework Directive – key dates and terminology Cycle 2 – EPA Characterisation and Assessment Characterisation and assessment to inform the Cycle 2 RBMP was largely based on 2010-2015 WFD monitoring data.

    WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Barrow Subcatchment Barrow_SC_060 Code 14_18 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 Generated on: 04 Jan 2019 1 Generated by WFD Application Assessment Purpose This assessment has been produced as part of the national characterisation programme undertaken for the second cycle of Water Framework Directive river basin management planning. It has been led by the EPA, with input from Local Authorities and other public bodies, and with support from RPS consultants. The characterisation assessments are automatically generated from the information stored in the WFD Application. They are based on information available to the end of 2015 but may be subject to change until the final 2018-21 river basin management plan is published. Users should ensure that they have the most up to date information by downloading the latest assessment before use. 2 Evaluation of PrioritySubcatchment Issues Two out of eight river water bodies within the subcatchment are AT RISK, Tully Stream_010 and Tully Stream_020. Tully Stream_030 and Tully Stream_040 are under REVIEW due to elevated phosphate. Kildoon is under REVIEW due to its unassigned status. Similar to subcatchment 14_16, this subcatchment has wastewater treatment plants and several large areas of urbanisation on the outskirts of the greater Dublin area, including Kildare, Kildangan and Monasterevin. Agricultural land (both pastures and arable) are common throughout, with areas of peat bog also present, particularly at the lower end of the Tully Stream, but these practices were not identified by local authorities as significant pressures. There have been some wastewater treatment plant upgrades carried out in recent years, and more upgrades are ongoing or are planned in the near future.
