River status
STATUS/IMPACTS
Overall status 22 RWB - 7 good, 7 moderate, 7 poor, 1 bad. 0 lakes.
Status elements Q score dictates overall status in all monitored WBs. Phys Chemical fails in one WB. Chemical Status not monitored. Status for 12 sites was extrapolated (5 good, 5 moderate, 2 poor).
Possible Impacts - EPA Water Quality 2004
BORRISOLEIGH STREAM - (SE_16_3178, Status 2009 - Bad and SE_16_3944, Status 2009 - Poor) No change with serious pollution, bad quality, downstream of Borrisoleigh and good ecological quality near Ballyduff. (Q score 2)
CLODIAGH (TIPPERARY) - (SE_16_537, Status 2009 - Moderate) No change. Mostly satisfactory but again only moderate ecological quality recorded at Drumminnagleagh Bridge. (Based on Q score 3-4) (Upper reaches in SE_16_505 which was High (Q 4-5) in 2008 but extrapolated to Good in 2009)
FARNEYBRIDGE - (SE_16_4165 and SE_16_4177, Status 2009 - Poor, SE_16_997 and SE_16_537, Status 2009 - both Moderate) Again only one location satisfactory. (Q score 3)
FISHMOYNE - (SE_16_2390 and SE_16_506, Status 2009 - both Poor) Unsatisfactory with poor quality at both locations. Arterial drainage in lower reach has seriously compromised ecological potential. (Based on Q score 3)
OWENBEG (TIPPERARY) - (SE_16_2449 and SE_16_2411, Status 2009 - both Good) Satisfactory with both locations again showing good ecological quality. (Based on Q score 4)
PRESSURES/RISKS
Nutrient sources Most TP is diffuse (98%) mainly from agriculture (86%) and unsewered properties (9%).
Point pressures 2 WWTP: Upperchurch, Borrisoleigh, (3 new WWTP under the small villages scheme)
2 Section 4s: Pub/Restaurant, Developer.
0 IPPCs.
0 WTPs.
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) and Industrial Discharges
Borrisoleigh WWTP
Section 4 - Public house- at risk.
Quarries, Mines & Landfills
There are 8 Quarries. There are no landfills or mines within the WMU.
Agriculture There are 19 waterbodies at risk from Agriculture within the WMU: SE_16_5, SE_16_174, SE_16_537, SE_16_691, SE_16_2448, SE_16_2390, SE_16_4177, SE_16_3204, SE_16_2414, SE_16_2411, SE_16_2545, SE_16_505, SE_16_3178, SE_16_3720, SE_16_506, SE_16_3944, SE_16_4166, SE_16_997, SE_16_4165.
On-site systems There are 2205 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 is is one waterbody SE_16_537 at risk- Clodiagh Drainage District (pre 1945 drainage)
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 WWTP – see Action Table below.
Section 4s – 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 MORPHOLOGY - SE_16_537 will require Channelisation Investigation to determine impact.
Sewerage Scheme for Borrisoleigh was identified in WSIP 2007-09

Clodiagh NT Water Management Unit Action Plan
OBJECTIVES
Restore/Protect 2015
12 water bodies
Alternative Objectives
Extended Deadlines – 10 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.
