Response in accordance with Regulation 18(3)(b) of the Waste Water Discharge
Authorisation) Regulation 2007 for Campile Agglomeration D0409-01
Point 1 Flow rate data of receiving waters and discharge volumes
Receiving water flow rates
The South East River Basin District, asses the body of water (Campile River) within
Campile and Environs Agglomeration as “Coastal Waters” and as such 95%ile flow
rate and DWF flow rate data are not possible.
Discharge volumes
Discharge points SW2 and SW3 are not equipped with flow measurement, thus it is
not possible to provide accurate discharge volumes. However anecdotal evidence
from operation staff is that SW3 only overflows in heavy rain events (SW 3 is equipped
with a tide-flex valve to prevent back flooding) and SW2 rarely operates.
Additionally both of these overflows exceed compliant requirements as defined in
“Procedures and Criteria in Relation to Storm Water Overflows”

Point 2: SW2 / SW3 Compliance with definition of CSO
Compliance of SW3 CSO
Background
SW3 is a CSO on the trunk collection sewer (225mm diameters pre-cast concrete)
serving the whole of the agglomeration, located just south of bridge.
In accordance with the document “Procedures and Criteria in relation to Combined
Storm-water Overflows”, a CSO is deemed to be compliant if as minimum the forward
pass prior to discharge through overflow exceeds a predetermined volume, utilising
“Formula A = DWF + 1360 P + 2E
Where
DWF = dry whether flows for domestic population (l/day)
P = P.E Served
E = Commercial flows (l/day)
Minimum required forward pass rate for SW3
Minimum required daily forward pass for SW3 is 875370 litres (or 10.132 l/sec) based
on following calculation..
P = 549 P.E. (based on 2010 geo-directory house count and using 3 P.E./ House)
DWF= 93330 l /day (DWF per P.E. assumed to 170 litres / day)
E = 2700 l/day (all commercial activities are non wet -using EPA design data and
assuming 30 l / head per day) .
Therefore minimum required pass in litres / day equals
(170 *549)+ (1360 * 549) + (2*2700) = 875370 l/day or 10.132 l/sec

Forward Pass capacity of trunk sewer at SW3
The estimated daily forward pass for SW3 is 3,196,800 litres / day (37 l/Sec), based
on following determination.
Sewer diameter is 225mm
Sewer hydraulics is unknown – thus assume worst case of 1/200 gradient
Based on design chart from Condron Concrete, a 225 mm diameter concrete pipe at
1/200 hydraulic gradient has a carrying capacity of 37 l/sec or 3,196,800 litres / day
Conclusion
Therefore as the trunk sewer has a forward pass capacity of 3,196,800 litres / day,
which exceeds the minimum daily require of 875,370 litres (based on Formula A) ,
by a factor of 3.6, the CSO is compliant with the requirements as specified in
“”procedures and Criteria in relation to Stormwater Overflows”.

SW2 Secondary Discharge Compliance
Discharge point SW2 is an emergency overflow from main pumping station for the
agglomeration, the station is equipped with 2 number submersible pumps which
operate on a duty / standby arrangement, with level control via an ultrasonic level
sensor.
The station is equipped with 1 No ABS AFP 1032-1 M60/4 pump and 1 No ABS AF60-
4 V21 pump; however both have identical hydraulic performance ( See Appendix 1 for
Pump Curves).
Pumping Capacity
The pumps are installed in a wet well, and discharge via 100mm ductile iron rising
main of 100m length, prior to discharging to a gravity line which conveys flow to inlet of
wastewater plant.
Static head is 4 metres and a calculated friction and equipment loss of 8m, thus total
head is 12m.
Based on ABS pump performance curves for the installed AFP 1032-1 M60/4 pump,
the delivery of this pump for a total head of 12m is 20 l/sec.
Required forward pass rate for SW2
Minimum required daily forward pass for SW2 is 875370 litres (or 10.132 l/sec) based
on following Formula A calculation..
P = 549 P.E. (based on 2010 geo-directory house count and using 3 P.E./ House)
DWF= 93330 l /day (DWF per P.E. assumed to 170 litres / day)
E = 2700 l/day (all commercial activities are non wet -using EPA design data and
assuming 30 l / head per day) .
Therefore minimum required pass in litres / day equals
(170 *549)+ (1360 * 549) + (2*2700) = 875370 l/day or 10.132 l/day

Conclusion
As the required minimum forward pass rate for SW2 based on Formula A is 10.132
l/sec and the pumping capacity of installed pumps (duty only) is 20 l/sec, this satisfies
the minimum requirement by a factor of 2, the overflow from SW2 is compliant with
the requirements of “”procedures and Criteria in relation to Storm Water Overflows”.
Point 3: Clarification of the classification of discharge points SW2 and SW3 SW2 Discharge Point SW2 is an emergency overflow from Campile Pumping Station, and
as such is classified as a “Secondary Discharge”, however as demonstrated in Point 2
above SW2 more than satisfies the required as defined in “Procedures and Criteria in
Relation to Storm Water Overflows” by a factor of 2.
SW3
Discharge point SW3 is a designed storm water overflow on a main trunk sewer and
as such is classified as a CSO, As demonstrated in Point 2 above it more than
satisfies the requirement for CSO compliance as defined in “Procedures and Criteria in
Relation to Storm Water Overflows” by a factor of 3.6.

Point 4: Clarification of Pumping Station Details
The agglomeration contains 2 pumping stations namely Campile Pumping Station, the
main collection station and a small lift station located at Sliabh Coilte, a LA Estate
which pumps raw waste water to package treatment plant located within the Sliabh
Coilte site.
Campile Pumping Station
This station acts as a main collection and forwarding station for the agglomeration.
The station details are as follows:
o Station is equipped with 2 number submersible pumps, i.e. 1 No duty and 1 No.
standby pump.
o In the event of a power failure, the level will rise in sump and overflow via SW2,
in the event of a malfunction i.e. pump trip the station is equipped with standby
pump which will automatically be brought into operation. Station is not equipped
with ether neither telemetry nor alarm call out facilities.
o The usable storage capacity of pumping station is calculated to be 15 cubic
meters (2m X 3m X2.5m), not taking into account back flooding of sewer.
o The station is not equipped with standby generation, but is equipped with
standby pump. With regard to actions in the very rare event of the occurrence
of a power failure where the period exceeds storage capacity, the excess
settled waste water is discharged via an emergency overflow SW2. In event of
a malfunction i.e. pump trip the station is equipped with standby pump which
will automatically bring standby pump into operation.
o While the station is not equipped with overflow monitoring, based on anecdotal
evidence from operations staff, SW2 only rarely overflows in heavy rainfall
events: the additional discharge from station is in compliance with the
requirements as defined in “Procedures and Criteria in Relation to Storm Water
Overflows”

Sliabh Coilte pumping station
This station collects waste from Sliabh Coilte estate and forwards to a package
wastewater treatment plant servicing estate. Both the treated effluent from plant and
an emergency overflow from lift station discharge to the trunk foul sewer servicing the
agglomeration. Thus as there is no discharge to the environment from neither the
pumping station nor estate, it is deemed that no further information is relevant or
clarification is necessary.
Point 5 : Final effluent compliance with regard to “Urban Waste Water Treatment
Regulations 2001.
As the agglomeration served is less than 2,000 p.e. and the discharge is to an area of
water body which is deemed to be Coastal Waters, in accordance with section 7
subsection 7(a) and 7 (b) of S.I. No 254/2001 Urban Waste Water Treatment
Regulations, 2001, discharge is required to be subjected to “Appropriate Treatment.”
As the originally submitted monitoring results of receiving waters and Appropriate
Assessment demonstrated only very minimal localised impact in area of discharge
from SW1, thus it can be deemed that the final effluent discharge meets the
requirement of Appropriate Treatment. as set out in S.I. No. 254/2001
However the provision for an improved level of treatment for Compile agglomeration is
envisaged. Submission from Wexford County Council to the Department of
Environment Heritage and Local Government, for funding to allow project to proceed
to planning phase have been made, and it is included in the National Water Service
Investment programme 2010 to 2012

Point 7: Retest of Primary discharge
The result inputted for Boron via online web Tool was inadvertently incorrectly
imputed.
With regard to Tributyltin, we are advised by our independent lab that the current
best available detection limit is 0.02 mg/l for this parameter; as both results from
previous testing returned a result of less than 0.02 mg/l; we can see no point in
retesting for this parameter.
The corrected results have been uploaded on web link tool; additional copies of
the original test results from the independent lab are attached.
Retest of Primary discharge for the compounds Toluene and Copper is currently
been undertaken, and shall be forwarded once they become available.
