Attachment No. A.1

Non Technical Summary Clare County Council, New Road, Ennis, County Clare, operates the water services in Sixmilebridge in the County. Map No 1 shows the general area, which the wastewater treatment plant serves. The overall agglomeration served is shown on Map No 2 in Attachment B1. The wastewater treatment plant associated with the application, Sixmilebridge Wastewater Treatment Plant, is located in Sixmilebridge in the Townland of Cappagh South, County Clare. The Sixmilebridge Wastewater Treatment Plant comprises of a domestic wastewater treatment plant. The domestic wastewater treatment process comprises of activated sludge treatment, clarifier, sludge thickening, sludge dewatering with the sludge disposed to a composting facility off site. The final effluent from the domestic wastewater treatment plants discharges into an outfall pipe and diffuser and is discharged into Owenogarney River (Ratty River). The National Grid Reference for the Primary Discharge Point at the end of the outfall pipe is (E147,971 N164,793). Secondary emergency discharges may also take place from the following: Pumping Station. Ref. SW2 in Cappagh South Td.(E147,959, N164,884). The current domestic wastewater treatment plant has a design capacity of 3000 population equivalent (P.E) with an ultimate capacity of 6000(P.E). There are no issues with pollution of the River Owenogarney as a result of discharges from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The current wastewater treatment plant in Sixmilebridge does comply with Urban Waste Water Regulations. Clare County Council have a regular monitoring programme in place and as the Wastewater Treatment Plant was constructed in 2003, the results are good and there is no plans at this time to carry out any further works on the wastewater treatment plant. The Wastewater Treatment Plant has a fulltime caretaker and attends to the plant approximately 6 hours per day weekdays and 2 hours per day at weekends.

Attachment B.9(i) Population Agglomeration: An assessment of the current population equivalent being served by the waste water treatment plant at Sixmilebridge gives a current load of 3,000PE. This figure was calculated following an examination of the Geo Directory for the area, the 2006 Census data, flow measurements carried out at the wastewater treatment plant and the water consumption data for the district under examination. This wastewater treatment plant has a design capacity of 6000P.E I can confirm that the figure of 3000P.E includes the maximum average weekly loading for the agglomeration taking into account local festivals and peak holiday seasons.

Attachment C.1.2 Pumping Station Information There is one Pumping Station associated with this wastewater treatment plant. This is constructed with the site boundary of the wastewater treatment plant and all sewage falls by gravity to this pumping station. There is a stormwater/emergency overflow facility associated with this pumping station, but as there is stormwater retention incorporated into the main treatment plant there is no record of this ever been used. There are two chambers in the main pumping station a wet well and dry well. Dry Well 2 sets of 2 No. duty/standby (one variable speed 24 l/s to 48 l/s, and one fixed speed 48 l/s) ITT Flygt submersible pumps are installed in the dry chamber of the main pumping station. Wet Well 1 no. ITT Flygt propeller type mixer is installed in the wet chamber of the main plant pumping station. The capacity of this pumping station is 54m3

There is a back up generator at this Wastewater Treatment Plant that keeps all the main elements functioning while there is a power failure.

ATTACHMENT G.3 Impact Mitigation Clare County Council constructed a new wastewater treatment plant in 1999. Clare County Council are satisfied that since these works were complete there has been an improvement in water quality and the potential impact on receiving water quality is positive. Clare County Council are satisfied that there is no deterioration in the chemical status or ecological status (or ecological potential as the case may be) in the receiving body of surface water or deterioration in the chemical status in the receiving body of groundwater. Clare County Council are satisfied that the input into groundwater of hazardous substances, except where it is established that the input concerned is in a quantity and concentration so small as to obviate any present or future danger of deterioration in the quality of the receiving groundwater. Clare County Council are satisfied that in the case of pollutants that are not hazardous, no further deterioration will take place or result in significant and sustained upward trends in the concentrations of pollutants in groundwater. Clare County Council will ensure that no discharge from the Wastewater Treatment Plant will permanently exclude or compromise the achievement of the objectives established for protected species and natural habitats in the case of European sites where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection or which is inconsistent with the achievement of environmental quality standards established under national Regulations in relation to designated bathing waters, designated shellfish waters, areas designated for the protection of freshwater fish and areas designated for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption.
