A non-technical summary of the application is to be included here. The summary should identify all environmental impacts of significance associated with the discharge of waste water associated with the waste water works. This description should also indicate the hours during which the waste water works is supervised or manned and days per week of this supervision. The following information must be included in the non-technical summary: A description of: − the waste water works and the activities carried out therein, − the sources of emissions from the waste water works, − the nature and quantities of foreseeable emissions from the waste water works into the receiving aqueous environment as well as identification of significant effects of the emissions on the environment, − the proposed technology and other techniques for preventing or, where this is not possible, reducing emissions from the waste water works, - further measures planned to comply with the general principle of the basic obligations of the operator, i.e., that no significant pollution is caused; − measures planned to monitor emissions into the environment. Supporting information should form Attachment N o A.1 A Description of the Wastewater Works and the Activities Carried Out Therein For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. The Rosslare Strand Wastewater Treatment Plant is situated to the west of Rosslare Strand Village, and discharges treated effluent to the St. Georges Channel, via a sea outfall. The Rosslare Strand collection network is a partially combined network, with 3 main pumping stations on the network and a number of smaller pumping stations, some of which are in private ownership. The Rosslare Strand Wastewater Treatment Plant treats the sewage generated in the greater Rosslare Strand village and Environs and is operated directly by Wexford County Council. The Rosslare Strand Wastewater Rosslare Strand Application Final Page 4 of 37 Rosslare Strand & Environs September 2008 EPA Export 26-07-2013:02:29:40 WWD Application Form Version 6/08 Treatment Plant is operated on a 7 day basis, with approximately 66 % of the permanent caretakers’ time assigned to Rosslare Strand. The plant consists of inlet works, an aeration tank and final settling tanks. The treated effluent in the final settlement tanks passes into the plant outlet pumping station, which is fitted with an ultrasonic strap-on flow meter, fitted onto the rising main from the works to the gravity outfall point. In addition the Rosslare Strand Wastewater Treatment Plant is also equipped with a refrigerated flow proportional sampler to monitor effluent from the treatment plant. The plant has a design capacity of 7,500 P.E., calculated from the most recent upgrade in 2003.

With regard to odour and noise emissions there is no history or problems with either, however given that the design of the plant provides that all sources of odour emissions are covered and that plant items, where required are acoustically enclosed, it is envisaged that there will be no noticeable noise or odour emissions. Details of quantities of emission are not available due to technical difficulties with outlet flow meter, which was installed in late 2006. Quantities of discharge Rosslare Strand Application Final Page 5 of 37 Rosslare Strand & Environs September 2008 EPA Export 26-07-2013:02:29:40 WWD Application Form Version 6/08 The only discharge to the receiving water is the primary discharge point which discharges treated effluent from the Rosslare Strand Wastewater Treatment Plant. Details of the quantities of discharges are not available, (while Rosslare Strand is equipped with a recently installed flow meter), as there are still technical issues outstanding with the operation of the flow meter. Effect of emissions The monitoring programme undertaken by Wexford County Council for the Blue Flag Scheme as part of the Bathing Waters Directive, shows that bathing water quality at the Blue Flag Beach adjacent to the outfall is in compliance with the required standards under the Blue Flag Scheme. There have been no reports of discharge plumes or floating gross solids on the surface of receiving water at or near the discharge point. The primary discharge is compliant with the design standard and is having no measurable effect on the receiving water. Additionally there are no For inspection purposes only. complaints or incidentsConsent of ofother copyright ownerdischarges required for any toother use.the general environment, therefore there is neither a demonstrated need, nor plans to reduce or mitigate discharges from the plant.

Prevention of Pollution Rosslare Strand Application Final Page 6 of 37 Rosslare Strand & Environs September 2008 EPA Export 26-07-2013:02:29:40 WWD Application Form Version 6/08 The operation of Rosslare Strand Wastewater Treatment Plant produces a treated effluent in compliance with the designed performance standards set out for the plant. However, Rosslare Strand Wastewater Treatment Plant has proven to be mechanically unreliable. Over the period of operation since construction heavy repair works have been carried out. It is the ultimate intention of Wexford County Council, pending the availability of funding, to upgrade the aeration and process controls to insure reliability and effluent quality. Toxic Substances Analysis of samples taken of the receiving water at the foreshore of the sea outfall (primary discharge point) and of the final effluent from the Rosslare Strand Wastewater Treatment Plant, show that the level of dangerous substances are below the limits specified in the Dangerous Substances Regulations. The agglomeration discharges are therefore compliant with the requirements. For inspection purposes only.

At the time of the Norman Invasion the most southerly Baronies (Cantreds) of Wexford County, Forth and Bargy were realistically under the control of a Wexford Town and Port society, that was essentially Hiberno-Norse in its inhabitants.

Most of the territory of Wexford County comprised originally of the Clan Ceinnsealaigh controlled lands (Irish Gaelic: “Uí Ceinnsealaigh”, variant spellings) of the south east of Ireland. The surname is anglicised as Kinsella and in vernacular terminology was referred to in ancient times as “Hy-Kinsella”. The territory covers what is known in modern Irish Gaelic as ‘Loch Garman’, in English more simply as Wexford, but originally in the Old Norse/Norwegian language the town was Veisafjorðr (and by some reports Waesfjord -Jeg vet ikke, for de møste mit Norsk språget har blitt glempt!).
