Table of Contents Page iii Executive Summary A screening assessment was conducted to assess the likely significant effects on European sites of the proposed tree and scrub clearance in the Feale river in accordance with Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora). Three “source > pathway > receptor” chains were examined to assess the likely impact of river enhancement activities on European sites; surface water, land and air, and groundwater pathways. The results of this screening exercise identified that significant adverse impacts could not be excluded on the following European site: Lower River Shannon SAC (002165) Following this, it was necessary to conduct an Appropriate Assessment including a Natura Impact Statement to further examine the potential direct and indirect impacts of the proposed works on the integrity and interest features of the above European site, alone and in-combination with other plans and projects, taking into account the site's structure, function and conservation objectives (COs). Further examination of the potential sources of impact on the European site above, looking at surface water and land and air pathways and groundwater pathways was conducted. Where potentially significant adverse impacts were identified, a range of mitigation and avoidance measures have been stipulated to help offset them. As a result of this Natura Impact Statement it has been concluded, that given the avoidance and mitigation measures proposed, the proposed tree and scrub clearance in the Feale river will not have a significant adverse impact on the above European site.

Introduction and background to the project 1.1 Introduction Ryan Hanley working with the Office of Public Works (OPW) have prepared an AA Screening and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) for the proposed tree and scrub clearance works on the River Feale, Listowel, Co. Kerry in accordance with Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora) to determine the potential impacts, if any of the proposed project designed by OPW. The report provides information on and assesses the potential for the proposed works for the scheme to impact on Natura 2000 sites (Special Areas of Conservation – SACs, or Special Protection Areas - SPAs) that

The Cashen/Upper Feale Estuary is located in County Kerry and is separated into the upper (Upper Feale Estuary) (Fig. 1) and lower (Cashen Estuary) (Fig. 2) estuaries for WFD sampling and reporting purposes. The Upper Feale Estuary is located just downstream of Listowel and covers an area of 0.37km² (93 acres). The Upper Feale Estuary starts at the confluence of the River Galey and the River Feale and continues up to Finuge Bridge (Fig.

These farmers manage 37,000 ha of land representing over 65% of the total agricultural area of the Special Protection Area (SPA) network. The summer of 2019 was also the first season where the new Hen Harrier Programe App was operational. This facilitated the collection of data on almost 19,000 fields. Habitat payments worth over €3,000,000 were paid to participants this year. This year also seen the commencement of the first payments for supporting actions.

    Case Study Description Shannon River Basin T. K. Mc Carthy & Marcin Blaszkowski Department of Zoology, National University of Ireland, Galway, University Road, Galway, Ireland Telephone: +353-(0)91-512008 Fax: +353-(0)91-750526 [email protected] [email protected] 1 Introduction The River Shannon, Ireland’s largest river system, has a network of lakes in which European eel is an important natural component of the fish assemblages. Like many other European rivers, the hydrological features of the River Shannon have been altered during development of navigation routes, by weirs constructed for flood control and when it was harnessed for hydroelectricity generation (Cullen, 2002). These and other environmental changes are reflected in the history of its eel fisheries and have stimulated a series of research activities that are ongoing (Moriarty, 1982, McCarthy et al., 1999, McCarthy & Cullen, 2000 a, 2000 b, 2002, Cullen & McCarthy, 2000, 2002, 2003, Arai et al., 2006) The Shannon river basin district (Fig 1), defined with respect to the objectives of Water Framework Directive, includes an area of about 18,000 km2 , mostly in the lowland central area of the Republic of Ireland but with a small part (6km2) of the upper River Shannon basin extending across the border to Northern Ireland. It includes areas referable to Ecoregion 17 (rivers, lakes) and Ecoregion 1 (transitional and coastal waters). It has been estimated that there are more than 1,600 lakes, totalling about 440km2 surface areas, though the majority are less than 0.5km2, and about 16,000 km of river channel in the river basin district.

  • PPP Update Issue 15 March 2018
    PPP Update Issue 15 March 2018 MCPA and drinking water contamination Background Over the last number of years there has been an increasing trend of low level detections of grassland herbicides in drinking water supplies. The chemical of most concern is MCPA, which is the active ingredient in herbicides such as Mortone, Hempacide 30, NU46 etc. Provisional figures for 2017 indicate that there were just over 150 exceedances, of which MCPA accounted for 119 notifications (≈80%). This compares with 137 notifications in 2016. In total, 49 supplies were affected in 2017 compared to 42 in 2016. In part these figures reflect the more intensive monitoring carried out in recent years but they also indicate use in situations where label guidelines may not have been fully complied with. To date none of the breaches have given rise to any health concerns. In Ireland surface waters (rivers & lakes) account for approximately 80% of drinking water supplies, making them very vulnerable to contamination from a range of sources, particularly pesticides. Many individuals using pesticides, especially herbicides, fail to make the connection between the ditches or drains bordering their field and the small stream that feeds a tributary running into a river or lough from which drinking water is abstracted. Similarly it is not widely appreciated that the legally permissible limit for MCPA (and other pesticides) in drinking water supplies is effectively zero (1 part in 10 billion). To put this into perspective, a single drop or foil seal from a pesticide container could potentially cause an exceedance along a small stream for a distance of 30km! This presents a particularly challenging set of circumstances for farmers seeking to control heavy infestations of rushes, which can come to dominate on wet, heavy, poorly drained land.
