Kilmovee Waste Water Discharge Certificate Application Attachment A.1
A.1 Non-Technical Summary 1. Waste Water Discharge Background Mayo County Council, Aras an Chontae, Castlebar, County Mayo is making an Application, to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a Waste Water Discharge certificate, for the Kilmovee Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) & Agglomeration, in compliance with the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations 2007 (S.I.

Kilmovee Waste Water Discharge Certificate Application Attachment A.1
3. Sources of Emissions The treated final effluent from the waste water treatment plant is discharged to the Kilmovee River through an outfall labelled SW1 (P) (154635E, 293456N). This is the primary discharge point. The Kilmovee River is a tributary of the Lung River which flows into Lough Gara and forms part of the Shannon River Catchment. There are no secondary or storm water discharges. 4. Nature and Quantities of Foreseeable Emissions The wastewater treatment works is designed to treat the wastewater to the standards required by the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations. i.e. BOD 25mg/L, COD 125mg/L and SS 35mg/L The average volume currently discharged from the municipal effluent stream of the treatment plant is estimated at 38.25m³/day (170 PE @ 225L/per P.E. day). This is equivalent to an estimated maximum discharge of 0.96kg BOD/day and 1.34kg/day Suspended Solids. It is expected that the PE being treated by the Kilmovee Waste Water Works will increase to 200 PE in the medium term which would mean an increase in the average discharge from the treatment works to 45m³/day. The discharge from the treatment plant is to the Kilmovee River which flows into the Lung River which in turn flows into Lough Gara in Roscommon. The Kilmovee River is not designated Salmonid or Nutrient Sensitive. No SAC, SPA, or NHA have been identified near the plant. 5. Technology for Prevention or Reduction of Emissions Emissions from the WWTP are monitored and the treatment process is adjusted to maximise the efficiency of the plant in removing any pollutants. The process, as has already been summarised above, is successful in removing BOD, and suspended solids from the final effluent which results in a reduction of harmful emissions from the treatment works. 6. Further Measures Planned to Eliminate or Reduce Emissions There are no immediate proposals.

Kilmovee Waste Water Discharge Certificate Application Attachment C.1
C.1 Operational Information Requirements 1. Description Of Kilmovee Waste Water Works / Sewerage scheme Kilmovee wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was designed by NUI Galway for a population of 300 population equivalent (PE) for organic carbon and solids removal from the wastewater to the European Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive discharge limits of 25 mg BOD5/l and 35 mg SS/l (European Directive EEC/23/91) with three months primary and secondary sludge storage. The treatment process employed at Kilmovee is a pumped flow biofilm reactor (PFBR), combining the advantages of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and attached growth (biofilm) processes to form a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR). The reactors of the WWTP are fed in batches. An attached growth process, the system is characterised by: its ease of operation and maintenance; low operating costs; and comprising no moving parts or compressors, other than hydraulic pumps. Aeration is achieved by alternatively exposing the biofilm (attached to plastic media blocks) in each of the two reactor tanks to atmospheric air, thereby eliminating the need for forced aeration. The WWTP comprises two separate tank units: a Primary Settlement Tank (PST) unit (Figure 1); and, a Treatment Tank (TT) unit (Figure 3). A summary of the WWTP tanks, compartments and equipment is provided in Table 1.

Kilmovee Waste Water Discharge Certificate Application Attachment C.1
The PST unit (2.6 m diameter and 10.5 m in length) is divided internally into two compartments: settlement of solids occurs in the first compartment (Primary Settlement Zone: working volume = 47 m3); the second compartment acts as a balance tank (Balance Tank 1: working volume = 12 m3) to the connecting TT (Figure 2). When the wastewater has passed through the primary settlement zone, it overflows through a 25 mm vertical bar screen into the adjoining balance tank. Access point, INF, allows entry to the inlet chamber where the rising main from Pumping Station No. 2 terminates. 5 No. access points are provided in the PST unit: PS 1 – 3 and BT1 1 and 2 (Figure 2).

C.1.1 Storm Water Overflows There are no storm overflows from Kilmovee Sewerage Works. C.1.2 Pumping Stations Due to the topography of the agglomeration it is necessary to serve the Carracastle Road by gravity to a pumping station at the rear of the Church. The sewage is pumped from here via a 100mm rising main to the Treatment Plant. The Kilkelly Road is served by gravity to a pumping station 430m from the crossroads in the centre of the village. The sewage is pumped from here via a 100mm rising main to a manhole at the crossroads in the centre of the village. There is a minimum of 8 hours storage provided in the two pump sumps in the event of a power failure and there are two submersible pumps in each pumping station which operate on a duty and standby basis. There are no emergency overflows provided from the pumping stations and no breakdowns have occurred since they were commissioned in early 2008. Table C.1.2.A – Pump station details

Kilmovee Waste Water Discharge Certificate Application Attachment F.1
F.1 Assessment of impact on Receiving Water
Mayo County Council will carry out an “appropriate assessment” if required, in accordance with – Note on Appropriate Assessments for the purposes of the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations, 2007 (S.I. No. 684 of 2007) as part of the Waste Water Discharge Certificate process for Kilmovee. The Kilmovee WWTP discharges into the Kilmovee River, which is not designated as salmonid (under the National Salmonid Regulations) and is not designated as nutrient sensitive under the UWWT Regulations. There is a complex of adjoining / overlapping sites located approximately 18.4km downstream of (to the east of) the primary discharge point, within County Roscommon. The complex includes:
Tullaghanrock Bog NHA and SAC (Site Codes 2013 and 2354), Lough Gara pNHA (Site Code 000587) and SPA (Sited Code 4048) Callow Bog SAC (Sited Code 000595)
There are no designated shellfish waters in proximity to the Kilmovee Waste Water Treatment Plant and agglomeration although it is at the upper reaches of the West Shannon catchment area. West Shannon which is approximately 100 miles away includes the following designated shellfish areas:
Ballylongford Poulnasharry Bay Carrigaholt Rinevella
North Roscommon Regional Water Supply Scheme abstracts water from Lough Gara which is approximately 23km downstream of the Kilmovee Waste Water Plant.

This Directive is transposed into Irish law by the European Communities (Water Policy) Regulations, 2003-2008
A draft River Basin Management Plan for to the Shannon International River Basin District has been produced in accordance with the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. (To download a copy www.shannonrbd.com). The Shannon International River Basin District is cross-border; partly in Ireland and partly in Northern Ireland. Only a very small portion of the Shannon International District lies in Northern Ireland. Consequently the drafting of this plan has been led by the authorities in Ireland. Full consultation has been maintained with the authorities in Northern Ireland, who are represented on the Shannon District’s Steering Group. This draft plan is issued by the county councils Cavan, Clare, Cork, Galway, Kerry, Laois, Letrim, Limerick, Longford, Mayo, Meath, Offaly Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary North, Tipperary South and Westmeath and Limerick City Council.
If adopted, Mayo County Council will pay regard to this Plan in its management of Kilmovee Waste Water Treatment Plant.
