1 Section 1. Executive Summary and Introduction to the 2015 AER

1.1 Summary report on 2015

This Annual Environmental Report has been prepared for D0069-01, Ballyhaunis, in County Mayo in accordance with the requirements of the wastewater discharge licence for the agglomeration. Specified reports are included as an appendix to the AER as follows:

• Storm water overflow assessment • Priority substances assessment

The agglomeration is served by a wastewater treatment plant with a Plant Capacity PE of 4,000. The treatment process includes the following:

• preliminary treatment (including screening / grit removal) • secondary treatment - activated sludge • chemical dosing for phosphorus removal

The final effluent from the Primary Discharge Point was non-compliant with the Emission Limit Values in 2015. The following parameters exceeded the emission limit values in 2015:

• Orthophosphate

75,665 kgs sludge (as kgs dry solids) were removed from the wastewater treatment plant in 2015 as dewatered sludge cake by licenced contractors. Sludge was transferred to Biocore Sludge Treatment Centre (lime stabilisation) Ballivor, Co. Meath (SSF-COR-MH-13-0001-02), Tulsk, Carrowbehy, Castlerea and Scramogue, Co. Roscommon, Ballymacward and Moylough, Co. Galway. An Annual Statement of Measures is included in Appendix 7.1.

*Note: The maximum annual loading of 17,463 is attributed to an unusual high flow to the plant in May 2015. With the elimination of high loading of May 12th 2015, the annual mean organic loading would be 3,743 P.E, which is within the design capacity. Significance of results The annual mean hydraulic loading is less than than the peak Treatment Plant Capacity as detailed further in Section 3.2. The annual maximum hydraulic loading is greater than the peak Treatment Plant Capacity as detailed further in Section 3.2. The annual mean organic loading is greater than the Treatment Plant Capacity as detailed further in Section 3.2. The annual maximum organic loading is greater than the Treatment Plant Capacity as detailed further in Section 3.2.

Significance of results

The WWTP was non-compliant with the ELVs set in the wastewater discharge licence. There was 1 sample non-compliant with the ELVs in relation to orthophosphate. The non-compliance is due to a possible shock load to the plant. The impact on receiving waters is assessed further in Section 2.3. .

The WWTP was non-compliant with the ELVs set in the wastewater discharge licence as detailed in Section

2.2.

The discharge from the wastewater treatment plant cannot be entirely attributed to an observable

negative impact on the water quality and the Water Framework Directive status. Further investigations are

warranted by Irish Water in this regard. The ELV for Ammonia comes in to effect on 31/12/19.

2.4 Data collection and reporting requirements under the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive

The reporting requirement under the Urban Wastewater Directive is completed by electronic submission of data was completed in February 2016.

2.5 Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) - report for previous year

Agglomerations greater than 2,000 p.e and less than 100,000 p.e have no reporting requitrements for 2015.

1 Introduction

This report has been prepared for D0069-01, Ballyhaunis, in County Mayo in accordance with the

requirements of Condition 4.12 of the wastewater discharge licence for the agglomeration. This report

identifies storm water overflows within the agglomeration and assesses the compliance of the storm

water overflows with the criteria set out in the DoEHLG document on ‘Procedures and Criteria in

Relation to Storm Water Overflows’, 1995.

There is 1Nr. SWOs within the agglomeration. It is listed in Table 1. As they are no register of cyprinid

fisheries in Ireland, it will be estimated that the River Dalgan is a cyprinid river.

A storm water overflow assessment is required to comply with the requirements of the wastewater

discharge licence condition as detailed below.

Condition 4.12 Storm Water Overflows

4.12.1 The licensee shall, prior to the date for submission of the second AER (required under

Condition 6.8), carry out an investigation for the identification and assessment of storm water

overflows. A report on the storm water overflows shall be submitted to the Agency as part of

the second AER. The assessment shall include a determination of compliance with the criteria

for storm water overflows, as set out in the DoEHLG Procedures and Criteria in Relation to

Storm Water Overflows’, 1995, and any other guidance as may be specified by the Agency.

4.12.2 The licensee shall carry out an assessment of storm water overflows at least once every

three years thereafter and report to the Agency on each occasion as part of the AER. The

assessment shall include a determination of compliance with the criteria for storm water

overflows, as set out in the DoEHLG ‘Procedures and Criteria in Relation to Storm Water

Overflows’, 1995, and any other guidance as may be specified by the Agency. The licensee shall

maintain a written record of all assessments and remedial measures arising from the

assessment.

21 | Irish Water

2 Storm Water Overflow Assessment

2.1 Description of SWOs

SW5 is located within the WWTP site. It comprises of the discharge from the stormwater holding tank

on site. When flows over 3DWF enter the plant, the excess flow enters the storm tank and is re-

circulated to the inlet works when inlet flows reduce. If the tank fills to capacity, it overflows and

discharges to the River Dalgan via the final discharge pipe. All storm overflow to river will be

screened, grit classified and will have received some degree of settlement.

2.2 Assessment of Operating Criteria of SWOs

The following criteria for each SWO on the network have been examined in accordance with the

assessment criteria set out in Procedures and Criteria in Relation to Storm Water Overflows in

order to determine possible capacity constraints.

1. Does the SWO cause significant visual or aesthetic impact and public complaints

2. Does the SWO cause deterioration in water quality in the receiving water (i.e. is there a

deterioration in ecological quality status attributable to the SWO)

3. Does the SWO gives rise to failure in meeting the requirements of national regulations on

foot of EU Directives (e.g. bathing water quality standards, shellfish water quality standards,

Water Framework Directive status etc.),

4. Does the SWO operate in dry weather.

SW5 No No No No Compliant

2.3 Assessment of Design Criteria of SWOs

2.3.1 Compliance with Formula A

Formula A is used in the Procedures and Criteria in Relation to Storm Water Overflows as

follows:-

Formula A = DWF + 1.36P + 2E (m3/day)

P = design domestic population contributing to SWO (to be estimated)

E = design industrial effluent flow (estimated to be 20% of domestic PE unless otherwise by

LA)

DWF = Dry weather flow m3/day (dry weather flow of total PE, based on 0.175m

3/PE/day)

Table 3 provides an estimation of the current population of Ballyhaunis based on Census data.

2002 1381

2006 1708 5.92

2011 2312 7.07

Expected 2015 2966

Based on 2006 –

2011 growth rate

The 2015 AER reports an annual mean hydraulic loading of 1,268 m3/d and a mean organic

loading of 4,887 PE (855 m3/d based on 175 L/PE/d). In a conservative approach and based on

these values, it will be estimated that the current total organic loading at the inlet of the treatment

plant is 4,900 PE and that the current hydraulic loading is 1,300 m3/d. Based on the estimation of

the 2015 population, the domestic PE is equal to 2,966 PE (approximated to

3,000 PE for formula A calculations ).

As a result the non-domestic loading is estimated to 1,900 PE. The difference between these

figures and the considered hydraulic loading will be considered as resulting from groundwater

and/or surface water infiltration. Based on these estimations, the loading of the plant includes:

3,000 PE from domestic inputs

1,900 PE from non-domestic inputs

442.5 m3/d due to groundwater and/or surface water infiltration.

2.3.2 Significance of Spill

Monitoring information in relation to frequency and duration of overflows is not available

The significance of overflows to inland freshwaters has been assessed as follows:

Low Significance:

>8:1 Dilutions in Receiving water (average SWO DWF / 95%ile river flow)

No interaction with other discharges

Medium Significance - only if all these criteria apply.

Dilution < 8 : 1 Limited or no interaction with other discharges > 2,000 population equivalent Cyprinid fishery

High Significance - only if all these criteria apply.

Dilution < 2 : 1 Interaction with other discharges > 10,000 population equivalent Cyprinid or salmonid fishery

2.4 Assessment of Requirement for Storage

The necessity for a storm tank within the sewer network has been assessed based on available

dilution as detailed in Table 3 (from Procedures and Criteria in Relation to Storm Water

Overflows) included as Table 4 below. The requirement for a storm tank at a wastewater

treatment plant shall be based on an overflow setting of 3 DWF.

3 Remedial Measures to Ensure Compliance

3.1 Specified Improvement and Improvement Programme Works

There are no specified improvement works or improvement programmes relating to stormwater

overflows. However, it is worth noting that Schedule C.1 states that: Improvement works may be

required to increase the organic and hydraulic treatment capacity of the plant to ensure

compliance with Condition 1.7. (Completion Date 31/12/2019).

3.2 Additional Measures

As the current storm water tank does not provide for 2h storage at the current 3 DWF, it is

recommended to provide additional storm water storage capacity. The required additional volume

based on the estimations in this report is 58m3.

1 Introduction

This report has been prepared for D0069-01, Ballyhaunis, in County Mayo in accordance

with the requirements of Condition 4.20 and Schedule D of the wastewater discharge licence

for the agglomeration.

This desk top study has been undertaken to determine the necessity, if any, for analysis of the

discharge to comply with the condition in the wastewater discharge licence based on the

Guidance on the Screening for Priority Substances for Waste Water Discharge Licences,

issued by the EPA. Relevant inputs to the waste water works and estimates of emissions

from the discharge point have been taken into account in the preparation of this report.

Relevant inputs to the waste water works, any relevant measurements / calculations /

estimates of emissions from the discharge point and any relevant measurements undertaken at

representative downstream monitoring locations have been taken into account in the

preparation of this report.

Details of the emissions concentration for the primary discharge and impact on the receiving

water are included in Appendix 1.

2.1 Assessment of Analysis Required

A. Review of all industrial inputs into WWTP

A list all licensed and unlicensed industrial or trade effluent discharges, leachate discharges

and other imports is included in Table 2.1 below. State if all trade / industrial discharges are

licensed and include any known unlicensed discharges. “Other Imports” includes any non-

domestic imports to the WWTP.

B. Discharge monitoring

The primary discharge has been analysed for priority substances.

1 | Irish Water

Analysis data is included in Appendix 1 with details of the sample data and/or source of the

data. Analysis data does not include the full list of priority substances listed in the EPA’s

Guidance on the Screening for Priority Substances for Waste Water Discharge Licences.

C. Downstream monitoring location’s participation in relevant monitoring programme

Any analysis data available for a representative downstream monitoring location from the

discharge point for the relevant parameters is included in Appendix 3 with details of the

sample data and/or source of the data.

D. Participation in PRTR reporting

The emissions of specific organic compounds and metals (priority substances) have been

estimated for the discharge utilising the EPA’s urban WWTP calculation tool for PRTR

reporting. It is noted from the EPA’s report, An Inventory of Emissions to Waters in Ireland,

that extensive assessment of emission factors was undertaken during 2011 / 2012 that

focussed on the evaluation of inputs / output concentrations and removal efficiency using a

variety of different sized plants and wastewater treatment options. This has led to the

significant refinement of the electronic templates toolkit used for WWTP assessment using

the PRTR tool. The estimated emission data relevant to Ballyhaunis pertains to a WWTP

<10000 PE, No saline intrusion, tertiary treatment - filtration, nitrogen and phosphorus

removal.

The emission concentration from the PRTR has been included in the table in Appendix 1

where analysis data of the primary discharge is not available.

2.2 Review outcome of Desktop study

Following the desktop study, all parameters in Appendix 1 have been assessed to establish

any potential impact on the receiving waters. A review of all non-domestic loads to the

wastewater treatment plant is underway by Irish Water. A review of the national monitoring

programme for priority substances in wastewater is proposed to be undertaken by Irish Water

in 2016 in consultation with the EPA. It is proposed that this review, in consultation with the

EPA, will determine the scope of future Priority Substances monitoring at Irish Water

WWTP’s.

Priority substance concentrations in the primary discharge were available for all parameters

based on either analysis or the EPA PRTR toolkit. This desktop study is considered to

provide partial characterisation of the wastewater.

3 Assessment of Significance and Recommendations

An assessment of the potential for impacts on receiving waters from priority substances in the

primary discharge has been carried out. The assessment considers the primary discharge

relevant to Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) for priority substances in surface waters,

as set out in the European Communities Environmental Objectives (Surface Waters)

Regulations 2009, as amended.

No parameters have been identified as potentially being higher than the required EQS

following dilution therefore no impact on the receiving waters is anticipated.

Based on the assessment carried out it is not considered that any further sampling or analysis

is required.

The EPA have prepared a report on priority substances, An Inventory of Emissions to Waters

in Ireland. This document states that Ireland appears to have relatively few problems

associated with the presence of Priority / Priority Hazardous substances in its surface waters.

It identifies that wastewater discharges are a potential source of metals in receiving waters

2 | Irish Water

with lead being the main metal identified as associated with wastewater discharges.

However, metals exceedences, in particular those for cadmium, lead, and nickel are primarily

associated with areas of historic mining activity. Similarly PAH’s have been identified in

stormwater overflows but the most significant source is considered to be rainfall.

A consultation process with the EPA is proposed to be undertaken by Irish Water in 2016 to

establish appropriate levels of monitoring for priority and dangerous substances, taking into

account the particular requirements of the Water Framework Directive. This will allow a

targeted monitoring programme to be undertaken in areas where priority substances have

been identified or industrial discharges or imports provide a potential source, and where there

is a shortfall of existing monitoring data.

Does the assessment use the Desk Top Study Method or Screening Analysis to determine if the discharge contains the parameters in Appendix 1 of the EPA guidance

Desk Top Study and Screening Analysis

Does the assessment include a review of licensed / authorised inputs to the works?

Yes

Does the assessment include a review of other (unauthorised) inputs to the works?

Yes

Does the report include an assessment of the significance of the results where a listed material is present in the discharge? (e.g. impact on the relevant EQS standard for the receiving water)

Yes

Does the assessment identify that priority substances may be impacting the receiving water?

No

Does the Improvement Programme for the agglomeration include the elimination / reduction of all priority substances identified as having an impact on receiving water quality?

No
