PART II: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2012-2018 & BEYOND Chapter 3: Infrastructure & Services Policy 18 Implement the recommendations of the adopted Sludge Management Plan (as reviewed in September 2006) for the County, including any amendments. Objectives for Wastewater Collection & Treatment Objective 28 Implement and ensure all existing wastewater schemes meet the Urban Waste Water Regulations, public health legislation 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”. Objective 29 Seek further separation of surface water and wastewater flows and discharge within the Boyle LAP area. Objective 30 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 in accordance with the phasing programme set out in this LAP. Objective 31 RCC shall adopt the following approach when considering development applications; • Strongly discourage and avoid where possible the use of private pumping stations • Where technically feasible and economically viable, existing and future pumping stations should come under the control of RCC • Pumping arrangements shall be designed in a sustainable manner • Development shall be phased in such a way as to only allow areas to be developed which can connect into the sewerage network directly. Objective 32 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 the LAP area, as appropriate. Objective 33 In accordance with the EPA Code of Practice on Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems for Population Equivalents ≤ 10 pe strictly control the siting of septic tanks and proprietary treatment systems, and promote public awareness on the issue of correct installation, monitoring and maintenance in the interests of the protection of the environment and public health. Seek to ensure that on site systems are only permitted in exceptional circumstances. Objective 34 Explore the feasibility and appropriateness of entering into PPP’s for the provision of necessary infrastructure 1 . 1 Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is basically just a different method of procuring public services and infrastructure by combining the best of the public and private sectors with an emphasis on value for money and delivering quality public services. More information on PPP is available on the Irish Government Public Private Partnership Website http://www.ppp.gov.ie 3.6 WASTE MANAGEMENT 3.6.1 Existing Context The Connacht Waste Management Plan covers the period from 2006-2011 and is based on the waste hierarchy established in the EU Framework Directive on Waste. The Plan has been adopted through an alternative legislative process and shall be the guiding document for the implementation of an integrated waste management approach within the Region as a whole. The Boyle LAP shall have regard to all legislative, national and regional documents and objectives in the implementation of waste management. RCC also recognise that litter is a major environmental problem, which can significantly detract from the visual quality of the County’s towns and villages. The Council actively promotes anti-litter awareness through its annual Spring Clean-Up Week Campaign and other activities. In addition, the Council has appointed two Litter Wardens and an Environmental Educational Officer to promote community initiatives such as tidy towns, golden mile etc. and school initiatives such as green schools and tidy schools. The Council has also provided a recycling centre in the town. The Boyle Tidy Town Committee carries out work in this LAP area. RCC promotes an integrated approach to waste management for any proposed development(s) within the local authority area. RCC also promotes the development of an integrated plan for managing waste including wastes generated during the construction phase of development as well as the operation and maintenance phases. In this regard, developers are directed to the DEHLG Best Practice Guidelines on the preparation of Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects, July 2006.

PART II: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2012-2018 & BEYOND Chapter 3: Infrastructure & Services Developers are referred, in particular, to the thresholds set out in Section 3 of these Best Practice Guidelines with respect to the recommendation that developers of projects with significant potential for the generation of Construction and Demolition (C&D) should prepare a Waste Management Plan. RCC promotes the undertaking of appropriate investigations to determine the nature and extent of any soil and / or groundwater contamination and the risks associated with site development work, where brownfield development is to occur within the Plan area. Management of all wastes associated with excavation, demolition and development activities, including contaminated and hazardous material, must have the required authorisation, as appropriate. 3.6.2 Waste Management Strategy The Waste Management Services Strategy aims to protect the local environment and quality of life of its citizens by ensuring adequate collection and recovery of domestic, commercial, industrial and other waste in and around Boyle. In addition, it aims to address current as well as future issues, in this regard. These aims will be achieved by ensuring within available resources that all existing waste facilities, including domestic waste collection, bring banks and the civic amenity sites, and services, such as those provided by the Council’s Litter Wardens and Environmental Education Officer, are maintained. They will also be achieved by supporting local groups, such as tidy towns, and events such as National Spring Clean, anti-litter campaigns, etc. and promoting vigilance with regard to the unauthorised dumping of waste in the area. RCC must ensure adherence to all relevant litter and waste legislation, specifically the Replacement Waste Management Plan for the Connacht Region and to policies and objectives contained in the RCDP and is LAP. They will be achieved through educating the local community, particularly local school children, on the issues and consequences of waste on the local environment. The provision of waste facilities and services must also continue to meet local needs satisfactorily. Ensuring that issues of illegal dumping, whether on public or private property, are addressed by way of prosecution is also essential. Policies for Waste Management Policy 19 Implement the relevant objectives of the Replacement Waste Management Plan for the Connacht Region 2006-2011 and promote, where appropriate, the DEHLG Best Practice Guidelines on the preparation of Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects, July 2006. Policy 20 Promote the increased re-use and recycling of materials from waste sources and cooperate with local retailers and residents associations in managing collection points for recycling goods. Policy 21 Implement the ‘polluter pays’ principle especially with regard to industrial discharges and implement the provisions of the various water pollution and environmental protection legislation and regulations. Objectives for Waste Management Objective 35 Require the undertaking of appropriate investigations to determine the nature and extent of any soil and / or groundwater contamination and the risks associated with site development work, where Brownfield development is to occur within the Plan Area. Objective 36 Work with and assist local community groups and schools in litter prevention and control. Objective 37 Continue ongoing monitoring/final remediation of the old existing landfill facility at Cornaglia Townland, Boyle. 3.7 ENERGY 3.7.1 Renewable Energy The development of renewable energy offers sustainable alternatives to our dependency on fossil fuels, a means of reducing harmful greenhouse emissions and opportunities to reduce our reliance on imported fuels. Renewable energy comes from natural resources that are continuously replenished by nature. The main sources of renewable energy are the wind, the sun (solar), water (hydropower, wave and tidal energy); heat below the surface of the earth (geothermal energy) and biomass (wood, biodegradable waste and energy crops or bio-fuels such as rapeseed and lupines).
