STATUS/IMPACTS
Overall status 15 RWB - 2 high, 9 good, 4 moderate. 0 lakes.
Status elements Q score dictates overall status in 5 water bodies including the 2 high status water bodies. Phys Chemical dictates 2 good WBs. The remainder, including 4 Moderate WBs have been extrapolated.
Possible Impacts - EPA Water Quality 2004
AUGHNAGLANNY - (SE_16_578, Status 2009 - High) Continuing satisfactory with
high ecological quality again recorded despite the scouring effects of severe flooding.
(Q score 4-5)
MULTEEN (EAST) - (SE_16_3825, SE_16_602 and SE_16_579, Status 2009 - all
Good) Continuing satisfactory with high and good ecological quality. (Based on Q
score 4-5)
MULTEEN - (SE_16_3267 and SE_16_3825, Status 2009 - Good) Continuing
satisfactory with good ecological quality at all sites. (Based on Q score 4)
PRESSURES/RISKS
Nutrient sources Almost all TP is diffuse (99%) mainly from agriculture (83%) and unsewered properties (12%).
Point pressures 4 WWTP - Dundrum, Hollyford, Anacarty, Knockavilla
6 Section 4s; Aquaculture Production, Hotel, B&B, Housing Development, Nursing Home, Property Company.
1 IPPC – Forestry Production Company.
3 WTPs- Dundrum Regional, Ironmills PWS, Hollyford PWS.
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) and Industrial Discharges
Dundrum WWTP – At risk
Section 4s - No risks associated.
Quarries, Mines & Landfills
There are12 Quarries. There are no landfills or mines within the WMU.
Agriculture There are 5 waterbodies at risk from agriculture within the WMU: SE_16_790, SE_16_4106, SE_16_1288, SE_16_3825, SE_16_2496
On-site systems There are 1481 septic tanks in this WMU, none of them are posing a risk to water quality due to their density, location and unsuitable hydrogeological conditions.
Forestry There are no waterbodies within the WMU at risk from Forestry.
Dangerous substances
There are no waterbodies at risk from dangerous substances within the WMU.
Morphology There are no waterbodies at risk
Abstractions There are no waterbodies at risk from abstraction within the WMU.
Other There are no HMWB or AWB within the WMU.
SELECTED ACTION PROGRAMMENB All relevant basic measures, general supplementary measures and SEA mitigation measures apply
Point Sources See Action Table for WWTP at risk below.
INDUSTRY - 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 Sources AGRICULTURE – Good Agricultural Practice Regulations and Enforcement.
Other Water Supply Scheme for Dundrum Region was been identified in WSIP 2007-09

OBJECTIVES
Restore/Protect 2015
13 water bodies
Alternative Objectives
Extended Deadlines – 2 water bodies with 2021 deadline
New Modifications or Development – none requiring alternative objectives at present.
HMWB/AWB - none
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.
