2. Clodiagh NT Water Management Unit Action Plan River status STATUS/IMPACTS Overall status22 RWB - 7 good, 7 moderate, 7 poor, 1 bad. 0 lakes. Status elementsQ 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 sourcesMost TP is diffuse (98%) mainly from agriculture (86%) and unsewered properties (9%). Point pressures2 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. AgricultureThere 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 systemsThere 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. ForestryThere are no waterbodies within the WMU at risk from Forestry. Dangerous substances There are no waterbodies at risk from dangerous substances within the WMU. MorphologyThere is is one waterbody SE_16_537 at risk- Clodiagh Drainage District (pre 1945 drainage) AbstractionsThere are no waterbodies at risk from abstraction within the WMU. OtherThere are no HMWB or AWB within the WMU. SELECTED ACTION PROGRAMME NB All relevant basic measures, general supplementary measures and SEA mitigation measures apply Point SourcesWWTP – 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 SourcesAGRICULTURE – Good Agricultural Practice Regulations and Enforcement. OtherMORPHOLOGY - SE_16_537 will require Channelisation Investigation to determine impact. Sewerage Scheme for Borrisoleigh was identified in WSIP 2007-09 High Good Moderate Poor Bad Yet to be determined

3. River Data 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. This table outlines water body information including status and a breakdown of its elements, protected areas, objectives and timescales.
