River Boynr Wnar Qunlily Managemrnr PlanBoyne clmnnel from Yellow River to Trim; downstream of the Yellow River. D.O. levels inthe Boyne chan17el appear to be relatively satisfactoiyRiver Boyne between Trim and Navan; this section of river was surveyed in the surrtmer of1989 at low flow. Variations from 65% - 144% satzrration D.?. were recorded atNewtownbridge; 48% - 158% saturation upstrearn of the conflue17ce with the KnightsbrookRiver and 62% 7 144% satzrration at Bective bridge. More recently in November, 1993, avalue of 16.1 nig/l showed significant supersaturation at Bective. ~Macrophyte and algalgrowth is extensive in these areas, particzrlarly between the ozrflall from Trim wastewater[reurnlent worh andBective bridge. Under critical low flow conditions in summer time, thissection of river wrrs shown to be marginal for compliance, with a risk of unsatisfactoryconditions. This requires litnitation of nutrient input and organic load to this section. In thedownstream section approaching Navan, dissolved oxygen levels were sotisfactoiy, exceeding60% saturation at all stages. Any nutrient load arising in the riverSkane does not appear tobe influencir~g conditions in the River BoyneRiver Boyne downstream of Navnn; D.O. levels nieaszrred downstreant of Navan showedvalues of 44% saturation at Broadboyne bridge on the 22nd Jirly, 1989 and 54% saturatiori011 the 18th July, at the same site, both recorded in the early niorning. Therefore, this area. . 4:was shown to be marginal for contpliance under cr~tc$al conditions.
