Burren Water Management Unit Action Plan River status STATUS/IMPACTS Overall status8 River Water Bodies - 6 Moderate, 2 Poor. No lakes Status elementsQ score dictates overall status. Phys Chemical was good or high where monitored. Status for 4 moderate and 1 poor WBs are extrapolated. Chemical Status not monitored. Possible Impacts - EPA Water Quality 2004 Aghalona (SE_14_ Status 2009: Moderate) - Sluggish, lowland stream, excessive weed and silt, distinctly eutrophic. Agriculture suspected. Burren (SE_14_347 - Status 2009: Moderate & SE_14_ Poor) - Generally over-enriched and eutrophic in 2003, with the exception of uppermost reaches. Slight pollution recorded in mid and lower reaches. Marked deterioration d/s of trout farm at Milltown Bridge. Lower reaches somewhat better but overall considerable room for improvement. PRESSURES/RISKS Nutrient sourcesAlmost all TP is diffuse (98%) mainly from Agriculture (60%) and Unsewered Properties (35%) Point pressures4 WWTP: Fenagh, Kernanstown, Rathoe, Tinryland. 2 WTP: Raheenleigh, Sion Cross. 4 Section 4s: Manufacturer, Private Company, Developer, Hotel. Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) and Industrial Discharges At risk: Fenagh WWTP - Has recently been upgraded. Tinryland WWTP Fish hatchery (SE_14_451) - at risk due to historical deterioration in Q value and currently Q<4 within 3km D/S of outfall. Rathoe WWTP upgraded according to Local Authority. Quarries, Mines & Landfills There are 3 Quarries. Agriculture7 WB at risk (SE_14_1546, SE_14_1296, SE_14_1821, SE_14_94, 1SE_14_1781, SE_14_1599, SE_14_451) On-site systemsThere are 1875 septic tanks in this WMU, none of them are posing a risk to water quality due to their density, location and unsuitable hydrogeological conditions. ForestryNo waterbodies at risk from forestry Dangerous substances No waterbodies at risk from Dangerous Substances. Morphology6 WB at risk - SE_14_1546, SE_14_451, SE_14_1296, SE_14_1821, SE_14_941, SE_14_1781. Channelisation, Burren Drainage District (pre 1945) Abstractions2 abstractions - 2 WB at risk - SE_14_451, SE_14_347 OtherNone SELECTED ACTION PROGRAMME NB All relevant basic measures, general supplementary measures and SEA mitigation measures apply Point SourcesSee Point Source Discharge Table for WWTP at risk below. INDUSTRY: Fish hatchery Section 4 - measures in addition to basic measures apply. Examine the terms of discharge authorisations to determine whether they require review for the purpose of compliance with water body objectives including protected area objectives and environmental quality standards. Diffuse SourcesAGRICULTURE - Good Agricultural Practice Regulations and Enforcement. OtherProtection of drinking water, abstraction control and future licensing. Morphology - Channelisation Investigation to determine impact. Fenagh WWTP has been recently upgraded. Sewerage Scheme planned for Kernanstown. High Good Moderate Poor Bad Yet to be determined

River Data Burren Water Management Unit Action Plan FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Future Pressures and Developments Throughout the river basin management cycle future pressures and developments will need to be managed to ensure compliance with the objectives of the Water Framework Directive and the Programme of Measures will need to be developed to ensure issues associated with these new pressures are addressed. OBJECTIVES Restore/Protect water bodies Alternative Objectives Extended Deadlines – 7 water bodies with 2021 deadline New Modifications or Development – Carlow Main Drainage Scheme in 1 river waterbody (SE_14_1781) HMWB/AWB - none This table outlines water body information including status and a breakdown of its elements, protected areas, objectives and timescales.
