INTRODUCTION

This introduction i s not part ol'tlie licence and does not purport to be a legal interpretation of the licence.

The liceiice sets out in detail the conditions iiiider which lrisli Water w i l l control and manage tlie waste water discharges from tlie agglomeration covered by this licence.

The WWTI' was designed to cater for a poptilation equivalent (p.e.) o f 2,800. Tlie application documentation indicates that the p.e. being served by tlie WWTP is 4,380. l l i e influent to tlie wastewater treatment plant is primarily domestic wastewater. The sewage system in Mooncoin is a combined system.

Tlie W W I W provides tertiary treatment. The plant consists o f the fo l lowing unit processes: iiilet works, screenings, weir to storm tank, forward l e d tank, 2 No. SBR tanks, sludge holding tank and phosphorus removal.

l h e legislation governing this licence relates specifically to, and i s restricted to, the regulation and control o f waste water discharges from the agglomeration. Therefore any odour or noise isstie tliat may be associated with tlie waste water works including tlie treatment plant cannot be addressed by this licence.

B y virtue o f Section 17(4) 01' the Wuter Service.s (No. 2) Acl 2013, the application for this licence i s deemed to liave been made hy lrisli Water and this licence i s granted to lrisli Water.

DECISION & REASONS FOR THE DECISION

Tlie Environmental Protection Agency is satislied, on the basis o f tlie information available, that subject to compliance wi th tlie conditions of this licence, any discharges from the agglomeration sei-ved by tlie waste water works wil l comply with and wi l l not contravene any o f tlie requirements o f Regtilation 6 o f the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations 2007, as amended.

In reaching this decision tlie Environmental Protection Agency has had regard to tlie requirements and objectives o f Regtilation 6 o f the Regiilations and l ias considered the application and supporting documeiitatioii received from the applicant, a submission received from another party and the report o f its inspector.

A screening for Appropriate Assessment was undertaken l o assess, iii view o f best scientific knowledge and [lie coiiservatioii objectives o f tlie site, if tlie activity, individually or in combination wi t l i otlier plans or projects i s likely to liave a significant effect on a European Site(s). 111 tliis coiitext, particular attention was paid to tlie European site a t l a w e r River Suir SAC and tlie Agency considered, for the reiisoiis set out below, that tlie activity is not directly connected with or necessary to (lie inanagemelit ol' tlie site as a European Site and that it cannot be excluded, 011 tlie basis o f objective scientitic inl"ormation following screening under this Regulation, tliat tlie activity, individually or in combination with otlier plans or projects, w i l l have a significant effect 011 a Europeaii site and accordingly determined that an Appropriate Assessment of the activity is required, and for this reason determined to require the applicant to subniit a Natura Inipact Statement. ' lhe screening indicated that there may be a potential impact from the contribution from the Mooncoin primary discliarge, in combination wi th other activities within tlie catchment, to iiiitrient enrichment o f the Middle Suir Estuary on the designated site I.ower River Suir SAC.

111 accordance with the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regtilations 201 I (SA. No. 477 o f 2 0 1 I), pursuant to Article 6(3) o f t l i e I-labitats Directive, tlie activity w i l l not adversely affect the integrity o f a I k o p e a i i Site in particular tlie Lower River Suir SAC having regard to its conservation objectives and w i l l not affect the preservatioii o f tliat site at favourable co~iservatioii statiis.

111 coi i i i i ig to this coiiclusioii, the Ageiicy is satisfied that it l ias ideiititied al l aspects o f tlie activity which can, by themselves or iii combinatioii with other plans or projects, affect tlie coiiservatioii objectives o f a European Site in particular I.ower River Suir SAC and i s certain, in tlie light o f t l i e best scientific knowledge iii tlie iield, that tlie activity w i l l iiot, ifcarried out in accordance with this licence aiid tlie conditions attached hereto, liave lasting adverse effects on tlie integrity of that site, w i l l iiot hinder the preservation o f tha t site at a favourable co~iservatioii status, and w i l l i io l hinder the lasting preservation o f the co~ist i t t i t ive cliaracteristics o f tliat site that are connected to tlie presence o f the habitat types, flora and fauna, wliose preservation was tlie objective justifying tlie designation of t l ia t site, w i l l respect the strict protection of animal types and plant types listed iii Annex I V ol"Counci1 Directive 92/43/EEC, in particular the following aiiii i ial types;

* Otter (Lurro lurrcrj;

aiid w i l l iiot cause any disturbance to tliose species or any deterioration iii their conservation status.

The Agency is satisfied that iio reasonable scientific doubt remains as to the absence o f such effects for the fo l lowing reasons:

A biological sampling assessiiieiit was undertaken by a Consultant Ecologist in Apr i l 2009 (on behalf of the applicant) at two sites in tlie Middle Suir Estuary, tipstream and downstream o f tlie Mooncoin WW1'1' primary discliarge location. Tlie similarity o f tlie macroinvertebrate

~nv i runmenr~ i l /'roleclion Agency Licence Keg. No. DO115-01

faiinal communities in terms o f species composition, diversity and cotiiiiiunity structure, indicates that tlie effluent from Mooncoin W W T P was having ino significant biological impact on the estuai-y. Also, monitoring results show that the receiving water is in conipliatice both upstream aiid downsti-earn of the primat-y discharge with the physico-chemical standards set for good status in the European Coniinunities Environmental Objectives (Surface Water) Regulations 2009, as amended and therefore the receiving water i s currently i iot showing significant evidence of an impact 1.1-om the Mooncoin agglomeration.

Furthermore. Schedule A: Discliarges & Discharge Monitoring, of the licence specifies the ELVs to which the discharge l'rom tlie Mooncoin agglomeration i i i i t s t conform. These ELVs w i l l ensure conipliance with the Eut-opean Communities 13nviroiimental Objectives (Surface Water) Kegulations 2009, as amended aiid are aimed at providing a high degree of protection to tlie receiving water body. Monitoring o f tlie discharges i s required to take place as per this schedule o f the licence.
