36 Wicklow Town Wastewater Pumping Station ATTACHMENT F Assessment of the impacts on receiving surface water Summary details of the impacts. The Murrough pumping station provides preliminary treatment only prior to discharging via a 50 metre long sea outfall to the Irish Sea off the coast at Wicklow town. The receiving water, therefore, is coastal and is subject to water currents and tides. The wastewater discharge is not treated to a standard conforming to the requirements of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations 00. Monitoring of the Primary Discharge Point Tables F (i (a and (b for the Primary Discharge point were compiled by analysing samples taken of the wastewater prior to its discharge from the Wastewater Pumping Station. No analysis was carried out to the receiving waters. Monitoring of the Secondary Discharge Point Tables F (ii (a and (b for the Secondary Discharge point were compiled by analysing samples taken of the wastewater prior to its discharge from the Wastewater Pumping Station. No analysis was carried out to the receiving waters. Ground Emissions There are no discharges of wastewater to ground from the works. Existing Environment The water quality of the receiving water is not monitored. The receiving water is not freshwater nor is it estuarine. The receiving water is not a river nor is it a lake and is not, therefore, subject to the requirements of the Local Government (Water Pollution Act 977 (Water Quality Standards for Phosphorus Regulations 998. There is no water quality management plan or catchment management plan in place for the receiving waters. The receiving waters are not subject to any designation under any Council Directive or Regulation. Dangerous Substances The discharging waters do not contain main polluting substances (as defined in the Dangerous Substances Regulations S.I. No. of 00 of sufficient quantity to impair the receiving environment. Water Abstraction There are no water abstraction points. EPA Export ::36:8

37 Effect of Emissions. None of the following (a to (d (both inclusive are significantly effected by emissions from the agglomeration, plant, methods, processes, operating procedures or other factors relating to urban waste water: - (a a site (until the adoption, in respect of the site, of a decision by the European Commission under Article of Council Directive 9/43/EEC for the purposes of the third paragraph of Article 4( of that Directive (i (ii notified for the purposes of Regulation 4 of the Natural Habitats Regulations, subject to any amendments made to it by virtue of Regulation 5 of those Regulations, details of which have been transmitted to the Commission in accordance with Regulation 5(4 of the Natural Habitats Regulations, or (b (c (d (iii added by virtue of Regulation 6 of the Natural Habitats Regulations to the list transmitted to the Commission in accordance with Regulation 5(4 of those Regulations, a site adopted by the European Commission as a site of Community importance for the purposes of Article 4( of Council Directive 9/43/EEC in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article of that Directive, a special area of conservation within the meaning of the Natural Habitats Regulations, or an area classified pursuant to Article 4( or 4( of Council Directive 79/409/EEC. Pollution Minimisation The wastewater discharge is not treated to a standard conforming to the requirements of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations 00 and therefore adequate pollution minimization measures are not in place. Modelling of discharges from the agglomeration A hydrographic survey was carried out in the planning phase for the provision of the Wicklow Town Pumping Station and long sea outfall. This survey studied the effect that the tides and water currents would have on emissions from the long sea outfall. The survey verified that the emission would have no significant adverse effect on bathing waters. EPA Export ::36:8

38 Wicklow Town Wastewater Pumping Station ATTACHMENT G Programme of Improvements The current situation is that wastewater collected within the agglomeration of Wicklow receives preliminary treatment prior to its discharge from the Wicklow Town Pumping Station to the Irish Sea and that this is the only treatment currently available. The proposed improvement consists of the provision of a wastewater treatment facilities and ancillary facilities in order to provide wastewater treatment complying with the requirements of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations 00 (SI 54 of 00.
