WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Colligan-Mahon Subcatchment MONLOUM_SC_010 Code 17_2 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 Generated on: 07 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 of the seven water bodies in subcatchment 17_2, Belle Lake and Leperstown Stream_010, are at Moderate and Poor status (2010-2015) respectively and are deemed to be AT RISK. In the case of Bell Lake elevated Total Phosphorus concentrations are driving the Moderate ecological status while in Leperstown Stream_010 Poor invertebrate status is the driver of the historically Poor ecological status. Agriculture is the significant pressure on both Belle Lake and Leperstown Stream_010. The remaining five water bodies in this subcatchment are unassigned and unmonitored river water bodies, Monloum_010, Ballygunnermore_010, Ballymabin_010, Knockacurrin_010 and Cooltegin_010, the potential significant pressures include agriculture and urban diffuse and these water bodies have been placed in REVIEW.
