Chapter 4: Infrastructure and Services Policies in relation to Flood Risk & Protection Policy 24 Ensure compliance with the EU Floods Directive 2007/60/EC and the RCDP 2008-2014. Policy 25 Policy 26 Have regard to ‘The Planning System and Flood Risk Management – Guidelines for Planning Authorities’ (November 2009), and any future reports in relation to flood risk for the Elphin Area. Prohibit development and ensure appropriate mitigation measures are in place for natural flood plains of rivers and develop guidelines in co-operation with the adjoining Local Authorities for permitted development in different flood risk category areas. Objectives in relation to Flood Risk & Protection Objective 30 Objective 31 Objective 32 Improve and extend the surface water disposal infrastructure to serve all zoned areas, in order to facilitate development, as resources permit. Require all significant development impacting on flood risk areas to provide a Flood Impact Assessment, to identify potential loss of flood plain storage and how it would be offset in order to minimise impact on the river flood regime It is the policy of Roscommon County Council to require all new large scale developments in all designated settlements to provide ‘Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) as part of their development proposals 4.4 WASTEWATER SERVICES In addition to drinking water treatment and distribution, Local Authorities are also responsible for wastewater collection/ disposal and storm-water management, including collection and disposal. The drainage system collects foul sewerage, industrial effluent and rainwater, all of which must be discharged or treated while minimising flood risk or environmental impacts. The development and expansion of the County’s wastewater and surface water drainage system is essential to the future sustainable development of the County and to the improvement of water quality within and adjoining Roscommon. Capital Projects – Sewerage Schemes 1. Town and Villages Sewerage Scheme - The provision of new and upgrading of existing sewerage facilities in the villages of Arigna, Ballinlough, Cootehall, Creagh, Elphin, Frenchpark, Hodson Bay, Knockcroghery, Lisacul, Loughglynn, Brideswell, Strokestown and Tulsk, Ballyleague environs. 2. Sludge Management - The Plan provides for a Sludge Hub Centre at Roscommon Sewerage Treatment Works and also for sludge reception centres as required throughout the county. The existing treatment works in Elphin is currently operating at near capacity and is sub-standard. The detailed planning for a new plant is complete and is included in a DBO (Design/Build/Operate) contract encompassing a number of other wastewater plants for other towns and villages around the county. The current population equivalent of the Elphin Wastewater Treatment Plant is 400 and the future Upgraded Plant design population equivalent will be 1820. This will cater for the expected growing population over the plan period. It is envisaged that construction will commence in 2010. The expected completion date is Elphin Local Area Plan 2009-2015 Page 28
Chapter 4: Infrastructure and Services early 2012. No new large scale development will be permitted, on the basis of this Plan, until the required Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade is operational. The existing wastewater network has recently been rehabilitated. Extension to the sewerage system and replacement of certain existing sections, together with the provision of a surface system for part of the town, are due to commence in 2009. The purpose of the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations, (2007), is to prevent and reduce the pollution of waters by waste water discharges by giving effect to Article 6 of the Dangerous Substances Directive and includes the purpose of implementing the following measures required under the Water Framework Directive. Under these Regulations, there is a requirement for all wastewater discharges, including storm water discharges, which come within the scope of these Regulations to be licensed. The EPA is currently in the process of licensing discharges from wastewater treatment facilities. Policies in relation to Wastewater Services Policy 27 Policy 28 Continue to provide a reliable system for the safe and adequate disposal of wastewater in a manner which is sustainable and which is within the resources of the Council. Ensure that all licensable operators discharging wastewater are operating within permitted limits. Objectives in relation to Wastewater Services Objective 33 Objective 34 Objective 35 Objective 36 Objective 37 Objective 38 Objective 39 Ensure that septic tanks and other individual wastewater treatment systems are not permitted within the development envelope of the area. Where technically feasible and economically viable, improve and extend the wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal infrastructure to serve all zoned areas, in order to facilitate development. Enter into Public Private Partnerships for the provision of necessary infrastructure as appropriate. Require that all existing developments which are in close proximity to the public sewer should connect to it. Implement the Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations 2001 and 2004, and promote, as appropriate, the provisions for the implementation of the relevant recommendations set out in Urban Waste Water Discharges in Ireland for Population Equivalents Greater than 500 Persons – A Report for the Years 2006 and 2007. Promote the connection of all remaining houses within the Plan boundary to the Elphin wastewater treatment plant, as appropriate. Promote the development of a wastewater leak detection programme and the use of a strategic metering system to aid in leak detection in and around Elphin, as appropriate. 4.5 WASTE MANAGEMENT The Council has adopted the Connaught Waste Management Replacement Plan 2006. This Plan has been developed by the local authorities of Galway City and County, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo and covers the period 2006 to 2011. The 2001 Plan adopted a regional approach to integrated waste management based on the waste hierarchy established in the EU Framework Directive on Waste and set targets for 2013 for municipal waste in the Region.
