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 This sub-catchment is split between the Republic of Ireland ( Cavan and Leitrim) and Northern Ireland ( Fermanagh), with five of the eight water bodies shared and needing input from Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) in order to fully assess any significant pressures. The sub-catchment is covered by wet soils with some peaty soils present, so potential issues arrive for agriculture, forestry, wastewater, and possibly the effectiveness of septic tanks in these conditions. Where information is available, the main pressures throughout the sub-catchment are agriculture and forestry, This is coupled with a recognised problematic waste water facility and septic tanks.The area is popular for tourism, and there are plans to further promote it for tourism. Cornavannoge_010 and Cornavannoge_020 are both Not At Risk. Roo_010, Macnean Upper and Lower are At Risk and investigative assessments will be carried out on MacNean Upper, and will focus on agriculture, forestry and septic tanks; I teh case of Lower Macnean, the wast water facility will be focused on in the first instance. In all cases liaison with NIEA and Leitrim / Cavan CoCo will be undertaken prior to the commencement of any work. Liaison with NIEA is also required for Black River and Drumharrif Burn as both are At Risk also.
