Introduction
SECTION 1.1: INTRODUCTION
Agglomeration: Kells Waste Water Works
Licence No: D0127-01
Kells Waste Water Treatment Plant (WwTP) is operated and maintained by Meath County
Council. The facility has an engineered design capacity of 8,000 p.e but the plant is licensed
for and can provide satisfactory treatment at a loading of up to 8,221 p.e.
The WwTP comprises of screening, two aeration tanks (surface aeration), four clarifiers,
phosphorus removal, sludge thickening and dewatering. A storm water storage tank is also
included as part of the waste water works. The primary discharge is to the River Blackwater
(Kells).
The following Annual Environmental Report (AER) has been prepared as per Condition 6.10
of Meath County Council’s Discharge Licence D0127-01 and includes all information
requested under schedule D of this licence.

SECTION 2.1: FLOW REPORT.
Final Effluent Flow Meter
There is no final effluent flow meter at Kells WwTP. So for the purpose of AER and PRTR calculations,
Meath County Council, taking into account losses through sludge wasting, dewatering etc has
estimated the daily final effluent flow to be 95% of the total daily influent flow recorded at the plant.
See SECTION 2.2: INFLUENT AND EFFLUENT FLOW REPORT.

p.e: (KgBOD/d) / 0.060 kg BOD per capita per day.
Influent BOD kg/annum: (Sum of daily influent flows (m3) x Average BOD (mg/l))/1000

Comments:
Note 1: An average BOD of 244mg/l, as calculated in Section 2.3, was used to
determine the current p.e loading on the plant.
Note 2: The average daily influent flow used to calculate the current plant loading is
the average of the all the daily influent flows recorded in 2010. See SECTION
2.2 INFLUENT AND EFFLUENT FLOW REPORT.

Complaints and Incident Reports
Page 40 of 53
SECTION 3.1: COMPLAINTS SUMMARY
There were no complaints recorded during the AER reporting period.
SECTION 3.2: INCIDENTS SUMMARY
The following incident reports were sent to the EPA. The reports include the Emission Limit
Value (ELV) exceedances and the reason for the exceedances. The reports also include the
corrective actions taken and the preventative measure put in place by Meath County Council
to ensure full compliance with Trim’s waste water discharge licence.
Incident Reports:
1) Incident Ref: 10,019– ELV Exceedance. Reported June 2011
A copy of each report is available for inspection, centrally at Navan WwTP.

SECTION 4.1: STORM WATER OVERFLOWS IDENTIFICATION AND INSPECTION REPORT
As per Condition 4.12 of this licence an identification and inspection report was conducted and
submitted to the EPA on the June 15th
2010. Over flow has been deemed to be out of compliance with
DoEHLG Procedures and Criteria in Relation to Storm Water Overflows and additional works are
recommended including conducting a full examination of the Kells sewer network prior to carrying
out any works at SW3, and recording of the exact frequency of overflow using the new SCADA system.
SECTION 4.2: IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAMME (SCHEDULE C1 & C2)
Kells sewerage scheme is included in the present (2010 – 2012) Water Services Investment
Programme (WSiP). Meath County Council will address the issues raised in Schedule C1 and C2 and
carry out the necessary works as part of this Capital Scheme.
SECTION 4.3: DEVELOPMENT/INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS.
There were no developments or infrastructural works carried out by Meath County Council during the
AER period 22/07/2010 to 31/12/2010.

SECTION 5.1: STATEMENT OF MEASURES - ANNUAL STATEMENT.
Meath County Council will take all reasonable measures to prevent environmental damage. Meath
County Council is also reviewing its environmental liability pollution insurance to ensure the costs of
all remedial actions following an anticipated events, accidents or incidents associated with discharges
or overflows from the waste water works are covered.
SECTION 5.2: ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND RISK ASSESSMENT (ELRA) REPORT.
As per condition 7.2.2 of the licence, Meath County Council arranged for the completion of a
comprehensive Environmental Liabilities Risk Assessment (ELRA) to address the liabilities from the
present or planned discharges of the Kells plant. The ELRA was conducted by Rowan Engineering
Consultants LTD and was submitted to the EPA on 27th
May 2011
SECTION 5.3: WATER ABSTRACTION POINT RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT.
As per condition 4.17 of the licence, Meath County Council had a risk assessment prepared for the
protection of the downstream drinking water abstraction points, in particular for the Liscarton
borehole abstraction point and was submitted to the EPA on June 15th
2011.
The risks to drinking water abstractions at the Kells area were deemed to be low and
recommendations were summarised in the report as follows:
� SCADA system to be used to monitor Storm Water overflows
� SCADA system to be used to monitor equipment failures at waste water treatment plant
� Water treatment plant to be contacted in case of significant discharges
