Attachment C.1. (i) Details of the WwTP, Process Capacity and Systems
Shanganagh Waste Water Treatment Plant (WwTP)
The original WwTP at Shanganagh was constructed in 1984 and it was designed to
provide treatment for population equivalent (p.e.) of ca. 65,000 for the Shanganagh
agglomeration. The treatment works consisted preliminary treatment which provided
screening, maceration, grit separation and storm overflow storage prior to the pump-
assisted discharge to the Irish Sea.
Between 2008-2011 major upgrade and expansion works was carried out at the
Shanganagh WwTP by a Design, Build, Operate (DBO) contractor in line with the
requirements of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. During the upgrade works
the capacity of the treatment plant was increased to the 186,000 p.e. with a potential of
further expansion to 248,000 p.e. The design treatment capacity of the upgraded
treatment plant was specified as 11,160 kgBOD/day and 1,345 m3/hr at dry weather
flow. The peak hydraulic capacity of the upgraded Shanganagh WwTP is 4,033 m3/hr,
which equates 3 times of the dry weather flow.
The design specification for the WwTP are detailed below;
25 mg/l BOD5
35 mg/l SS
125 mg/l COD
As a results of the upgrade works the plant provides preliminary, primary and secondary
level treatment and storm overflow storage to the incoming sewage. The upgraded
treatment works at Shanganagh treats sewage from the catchment areas of
Deansgrange, Killiney, Carrickmines, Shankill and Bray Town and its environs. The
operational and maintenance phase started in 2012 and this phase is contracted to last
for 20 years; after which the plant will be handed back to Irish Water.
The estimated p.e. (including industry) for all the catchments that are received into the
works was approximately 134,587 p.e. in 2016.
Detailed breakdown of the incoming flow for 2015 is presented in Table 1.

Average daily leachate from Ballyogan Landfill entering Carrickmines Valley sewer in
2015 was approximately 490 p.e. There is no leachate entering the treatment plant from
the Bray catchment of the agglomeration. Consequently, leachate plays a marginal part
in the loading to the plant.
Average annual daily effluent flow from the Shanganagh WwTP in the year 2015 was
33,383 m3/day. The current flow falls below the previous predictions and development in
both catchments is minimal in comparison to that predicted when the plant was
designed.
Foul water from the catchment areas of Deansgrange, Killiney, Carrickmines, Shankill
enter the site via a 1,350 mm diameter sewer and is screened through 4 no. coarse
screens (mechanical rake screens) followed by 4 no. fine screens (mechanical step
screens) before being joined by the pumped sewage flows from the Bray catchment.
There is an emergency by-pass bar screen channel as part of the inlet works.
Wastewater collected in Bray Town and its environs is screened and de-gritted at the
Bray Pumping Station prior being pumped via a 630 mm rising main to the Shanganagh
WwTP. Pumped wastewater from Bray joins the screened sewage from the Shanganagh
catchment at the treatment works upstream of grit removal units where grit, sand and
fat, oil and grease (FOG) are removed. There are 4 no. grit and grease channels in
parallel configuration. Apart from storm events, it is not necessary to operate all units
together due to the current low flow condition. From here the flow enters and is
distributed among the 6 no. lamellar primary clarifiers operating in parallel configuration,
where approximately 60% of the influent suspended solid is settled down by gravity
separation and removed along with a substantial portion of biodegradable material
therefore reducing the influent BOD and COD content before the secondary treatment
step.
Flow in excess of the hydraulic capacity of the primary and secondary treatment units
are diverted to a 1,300 m3 storm tank, which retains the first flush flows following heavy
rainfall and prevent this pollution load discharging to the environment. The design
criterion was to hold peak flow in a 1 in 30 return period storm event combined with the
peak capacity of Bray Pumping Station. This actually only gives a retention in the max
possible flows of 5.9 minutes. Once the high flow condition has subsided the contents of
the tank is returned upstream of the primary settlement tanks to receive full treatment.
Flows in excess of the storm tank capacity overflow to the Outfall Pumping Station where
it is mixed with the treated effluent and gravity discharged or pumped into the sea via
the long sea outfall. This “storm tank to the long sea outfall overflow event” (i.e. to the
Primary Discharge Point) occurred on 24 occasions in 2015 and on 12 occasions so far in
2016. In the case when the long sea outfall has reached hydraulic capacity due to the
combination of high tide and high flow, storm water mixed with the treated effluent can
be gravity discharged via the short sea outfall (Secondary Discharge from the Works –
SW002).
The effluent from the primary sedimentation tanks is distributed among aerated
bioreactors. There is 4 no. of bioreactors each with a volume of 3,003 m3, however, due
to the low incoming flow conditions there are 3 aeration tanks in service. The treatment
process is a single sludge activated sludge process and each bioreactor has an anaerobic
volume of 613m3 per bioreactor (i.e. 20% of the overall volume), however, the process
is designed for carbon removal only and although some level of nitrification occurs
during the operation, there is no Nitrogen removal treatment at the plant. During the
secondary treatment dissolved and colloidal organic compounds of the wastewater are
broken down by biochemical oxidation and assimilated due to microbial activity of the
sludge.
The supernatant from the bioreactors enters the clarifiers for settlement before being
discharged to sea either by gravity discharge or pumped via the existing Outfall Pumping
Station through an existing 1.7km long, 1,170mm diameter outfall pipe to the sea off
Killiney Bay. Prior to the outfall, the effluent enters a large wet well with a hydraulically
operated penstock at the outlet to the well. During high tide the wet well is allowed to fill
up by closure of the penstock. The outfall pumps are then started sequentially to provide
a scour facility to the long sea outfall. The pumps discharge into a surge tower enabling
gravity discharge through the sea outfall.
The Secondary Discharge operates via the short sea outfall pipeline under high flow
conditions when the storm tanks are full and the long sea outfall have reached hydraulic
capacity due to the combination of high tide and high flow conditions. In such case, the
spills from the storm tank overflow to the Outfall Pumping Station where it is mixed with
the treated effluent. If the combination of storm water and treated effluent flows
entering the Outfall Pumping Station reach the capacity of the primary discharge point
(i.e. the long sea outfall pipeline), flows will overflow through a high level overflow weir
to the short sea outfall and gravity discharged to the sea. This occasional discharge via
the short sea outfall pipeline contains some treated effluent along with storm water spills
from the storm water holding tank, therefore classified as a secondary discharge. The
short sea outfall was constructed ca. 1984 and is a 1,620mm OD steel pipe with
reinforced concrete protection, and discharges 110m from the existing cliff face just
beyond the existing works through a bell-mouth below MLWS tide level. The short sea
outfall (i.e. Secondary Discharge) operated on 3 occasions in 2015, 7 in 2014, 4 in 2013
and 2 occasions in 2012. In 2016, the outfall has operated on 1 occasion in June and 2
occasions in January, due to the extreme weather conditions. Dublin Airport reported its
wettest January since 1948 with a total of 118.4 mm (189% of LTA), attributing nearly
half this monthly total to heavy rainfall recorded on the 5th and 9th
(http://www.met.ie/climate/MonthlyWeather/clim-2016-Jan.pdf). The total discharged
volume to date via the short sea outfall was 3,200 m3 in 2015 and 4,700 m3 in 2016.
The secondary discharge is approximately 1km from the southern of Killiney designated
bathing area. The bathing area has a blue flag and had the following Bathing Water
classifications 2010-2013 was “Good”, 2014 was “Excellent” and the 2015 was
“Excellent”.
The settled sludge from the primary settlement tanks and the surplus activated from the
clarifiers is thickened, digested and dewatered on site before being taken off-site. Sludge
is being thickened on-site prior the anaerobic digestion step. After digestion, sludge is
dewatered and certain fraction of the dewatered sludge also receives thermal drying
before being removed from the treatment site. In 2015, 600.38 tonnes (total dry solids)
of dewatered sludge cake (22% solid) and 387.51 tonnes (total dry solids) of thermally
dried sludge (95% solid) were removed from the WwTP site. All sludge was received by
Biocore at the facility at Carrollstown Estate, Trim County Meath.
Methane extracted from the sludge digesters is extracted and collected from the sludge
digesters and used on site to generate electricity and to fuel the sludge dryers. Grit and
screenings are removed from site by contract and disposed to Ballynagran landfill site,
Co. Wicklow.
The entire plant is covered for odour control. An odour treatment system is at every
stage of the treatment process to filter the odours.
Corrective Actions and Repair works in the Network and the Wastewater
Treatment Plant
Due to occasional high saline wastewater entering the treatment plant via the rising
main from the Bray Pumping Station in July and September 2014, additional corrective
action has been taken and a conductivity meter was installed at the Bray Pumping
Station. If this meter reads greater that 6000uS, pumping to Shanganagh is decreased
and the flow is diverted to the storm tank for night time discharge to the sea via the
Long Sea outfall (SW019). High salinity sewage has a negative impact on the bacteria,
on the bio reactors and high H2S is very corrosive. As a result of the high saline water
content of the wastewater the MLSS in the bioreactor was reduced and the sludge
produced by the plant changed in nature and were much more difficult to thicken as the
polyelectrolyte’s effectiveness was inhibited by the saline water. The subsequent odours
led to complaints from local residents.
Manhole repair work in the network was carried out in September 2014. There were two
further incidents of saline ingress at Bray due to the work on the Dargle Flood Relief
Scheme whereby tidal water from the Dargle was allowed to enter the Bray sewer
network and was again pumped to Shanganagh. At these times, a conductivity meter
was installed at Bray Pump Station and when this meter reads greater that 6000uS,
pumping to Shanganagh is decreased and the flow was diverted to the storm tank for
night time discharge to the sea through the Long Sea outfall. This security measured is
still in place at the Bray Pumping Station should other breaches occur, however
mitigation works completed to remedy saline ingress are deemed to have been
successful.
There were several repair works on the SWOs in the network in the Shanganagh
catchment area. These repair works included the repair at the SWO (SW003) at Kill Lane
which consisted of raising the baffle wall on the foul sewer to prevent it from leaking into
the Surface water.
A non-return valve was installed on the Storm Water Overflow to the Deansgrange
stream (SW013) at Achill Road, to prevent the stream from flooding the Surface Water
system and causing manholes to surcharge. This upgraded SWO is found to be compliant
with the DoEHLG guidelines (Source: 2015 AER).
SWO SW012 was assessed and it failed the DoEHLG criteria. Significant works were
carried out to raise the weir wall and realign the benching in the manhole which did
reduce the number of spills (see attached photos below). There were 15 spills recorded
in 2015. As part of the recent upgrade works in August 2016, the weir has been raised
and the new weir is set at 380mm. This SWO is now thought to be compliant with the
DoEHLG guidelines. This Shanganagh-Bray Drainage Area Plan will verify this.
The Drainage Area Plan (DAP) for the Shanganagh-Bray agglomeration is due to be
complete by 2019. The DAP is an investigation covering hydraulic, environmental,
structural, service and operational failure mechanisms within a drainage area. The
stages of the DAP process are as follows:
Stage 1: Existing Data Collection and Study and Survey Scoping
Stage 2: Model Build and Surveys
Stage 3: Risk Assessment and Needs Identification
Stage 4: Strategy, Optioneering and Future Solutions Design
The purpose of the DAP is to use an integrated, risk based approach to assess network
performance and to identify and prioritise any interventions needed to ensure
compliance with environmental and service objectives.
SWO SW003 is considered not to comply with the DoEHLG guidelines and works to bring
these overflows into compliance will be informed by the Bray/Shanganagh Drainage Area
Plan, which will commence in 2016. SWO SW012 is considered to be compliant with the
DoEHLG guidelines upon completion of the upgrade works in August 2016. The DAP will
verify this and it will lead to any necessary works which will ameliorate any localised
eutrophication impacts related to the overflows.

Attachment C.1. (iii) Sub Catchment Drainage Networks
Four catchments drain to the existing WwTP at Shanganagh. These are:
a) Deansgrange Catchment
b) Killiney Catchment
c) Carrickmines Catchment
d) Shankill Catchment
e) Bray Catchment
(a) Deansgrange and Killiney Catchment
Flows from the Deansgrange catchment terminate in a 900mm diameter trunk sewer
which joins the 750mm diameter Killiney trunk sewer some 100 metres from the WwTP.
The combined sewer continues as 1,600mm diameter from the junction to the inlet to
the WwTP.
In the Killiney sub-catchment there are two areas which are served by local pumping
stations. The Seafield Road Pumping Station (NGR 326031E, 224008N) deals with a
small housing development and this Pumping Station does not have any overflow
facilities. The other Pumping Station is the Killiney Beach Pumping Station (NGR
326005E, 224652N). It facilitates an Emergency Overflow into the Irish Sea via a 375
mm diameter concrete pipeline. The location of this Emergency Overflow (SW018) is
NGR 326078E, 224651N.
(b) Carrickmines Sewers and Shankill Catchment
The final section of the Carrickmines Sewer from the railway crossing to the WwTP is
850mm diameter. It joins the Shankill Sewer just within the boundary of the works.
Flows from the Shankill catchment are transferred to the existing WwTP inlet via a
525mm diameter gravity sewer.
There is one Pumping Station located within the Shankill sub-catchment which serves
the Corbawn Drive housing development (NGR 325918E, 221843N). The sewer system
of the catchment of the Corbawn Drive Pumping Station is separate therefore the
Pumping Station is only equipped with an Emergency Overflow (SW017) which
discharges to the Irish Sea via a 150 mm overflow pipe (NGR 325966E, 221910N).
The Kilternan Pumping Station is located within the Carrickmines sub-catchment (NGR
320887E, 221918N). This Pumping Station serves only a handful of houses and there is
no overflow facility on site.
(c) Bray Catchment
Flows are pumped to the WwTP via a 600mm HPPE rising main that runs from the Bray
Pumping Station (NGR 326766E, 219155N), adjacent to Bray Harbour, parallel to the
coastline to the plant. The waste collection system in Bray town is made up of 4 main
parts:
a) Main town area collection system.
b) Collection system in Kilmacanogue area, which is forward pumped into the main
Bray Town collection system.
c) Collection system in Corke Abbey, which is pumped into the main Bray Town
collection system.
d) Small collection system in Ashton Wood, which is pumped into the main Bray
Town collection system.
(a) Main Bray Town collection system
This system collects all the foul sewerage and waste water discharges in the
administrative area of Bray Town and some properties in the Wicklow Co. Co. area on
the Bray outer cross road. The system is partly combined in that in some areas of
Bray separate rain/storm waters are directed to the foul sewer system. This leads to
major variations in the amount of contaminated water that enters the Bray Pumping
Station between dry weather and wet conditions.
The general foul flows are easily catered for by the Pumping Station and in dry
weather the flow is always pumped to the Shanganagh WwTP.
In the event of Pumping Station failure (2 occasions in 2015 as per AER) the excess
water can escape via the 2 overflows at the Bray Pumping Station (SW019: NGR
328217E, 220117N and SW020: NGR 327039E, 219331N).
(b) Ashton Wood collection system
The design of this estate, of approximately 70 houses, did not facilitate gravity
discharge into the main town sewer network. A Pumping Station to deal with foul
sewerage from the estate was installed to pump the effluent to the main collection
system network (Ashton Wood Pumping Station, NGR 324623E, 217065N). It has a
storage capacity of approximately 7m3. This station does not receive stormwater, as
there is a separate system. However, the Emergency Overflow (SW023) for the
Pumping Station is connected to the storm water system at NGR 324542E, 216843N.
(c) Kilmacanogue area collection system
The waste water pipe work (trunk sewers) in Kilmacanogue and a Pumping Station
were installed in the late 1990’s. This scheme eliminated the treatment plant and its
discharges in Kilmacanogue and replaced it with a Pumping Station which forward
pumps the wastewater to Bray.
The Kilmacanogue Pumping Station (NGR 324628E, 215053N) can generally deal
with all the flows and it is fitted with a high level dual function overflow which
operates if there is no power to the Pumping Station. It has a storage capacity of
approximately 9m3. The dual function (for emergency and storm events) overflow
(SW022) from this Pumping Station is to the Kilmacanogue Stream at NGR 342660E,
215080N.
(d) Corke Abbey collection system
The Corke Abbey collection system was previously served by a small treatment plant.
This was de-commissioned in 2006 and replaced by a Pumping Station which forward
pumps the wastewater to Bray. This rising main terminates close to the Bray
Pumping Station inlet works. The Corke Abbey Pumping Station (NGR 326524E,
219596N) is fitted with a dual function (emergency and storm water) overflow
(SW016), which discharges to the Rathmichael Stream (NGR 326513, 219618N). It
has a storage capacity of approximately 4.6m3.

SW001 327548E
223736N
Primary discharge outfall to Irish Sea from
Shanganagh WwTP.
The existing long sea outfall at Shanganagh was constructed as
part of the original scheme circa 1984. It consists of a 1.7km long,
1,170mm diameter concrete encased steel pipe terminating in a
diffuser section with 31 outlet ports discharging at a water depth of
20m. Under certain flow and tide conditions the outfall operates by
gravity. When gravity discharge is no longer possible the pumps
cut in and pump to a surge tower which allows discharge against
all stages of the tide. Under normal operational flow, low velocity
conditions prevail that are not always self-cleaning. This leads to
silting and partial blockage requiring purging using the pumps.
Flows excess of the storm tank capacity overflows to the outfall
pumping station where it is mixed with the treated effluent and
gravity discharged or pumped into the sea via the long sea outfall.
The storm tank to long sea outfall overflow events occurred on 24
occasions in 2015 and on 12 occasions so far in 2016. In the case
when the long sea outfall has reached hydraulic capacity due to the
combination of high tide and high flow, storm water mixed with the
treated effluent can be also gravity discharged via the short sea
outfall.
SW002 326087E
223329N
Secondary discharge outfall to Irish Sea from
Shanganagh WwTP.
Shanganagh Waste Water Treatment Plant (WwTP) short sea
outfall, discharges into the sea at Killiney Bay. The short sea outfall
discharges under high flow conditions to the sea when the storm
tanks are full and the long sea outfall have reached hydraulic
capacity due to the combination of high tide and high flow
conditions. The short sea outfall was constructed circa 1984 and is
a 1,620mm OD steel pipe with reinforced concrete protection, and
discharges 110m from the existing cliff face just beyond the
existing works through a bell-mouth below MLWS tide level.
The short sea outfall pipe was used on 3 occasions in 2015 and on

Schedule of Accreditation
Permanent Laboratory: Category A
THE IRISH NATIONAL ACCREDITATION BOARD (INAB) is the Irish body for the accreditation of
organisations including laboratories.
Laboratory accreditation is available to testing and calibration facilities operated by manufacturing
organisations, government departments, educational institutions and commercial testing/calibration
services. Indeed, any organisation involved in testing, measurement or calibration in any area of
technology can seek accreditation for the work it is undertaking.
Each accredited laboratory has been assessed by skilled specialist assessors and found to meet criteria
which are in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO 15189 (medical laboratories). Frequent audits,
together with periodic inter-laboratory test programmes, ensure that these standards of operation are
maintained.
Testing and Calibration Categories:
Category A:
Permanent laboratory calibration and testing where the laboratory is erected on a fixed
location for a period expected to be greater than three years.
Category B: Site calibration and testing that is performed by staff sent out on site by a permanent
laboratory that is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.
Category C: Site calibration and testing that is performed in a site/mobile laboratory or by staff sent
out by such a laboratory, the operation of which is the responsibility of a permanent
laboratory accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.
Category D: Site calibration and testing that is performed on site by individuals and organisations that
do not have a permanent calibration/testing laboratory. Testing may be performed using
(a) portable test equipment
(b) a site laboratory
(c) a mobile laboratory or
(d) equipment from a mobile or site laboratory
Standard Specification or Test Procedure Used:
The standard specification or test procedure that is accredited is the issue that is current on the date of the most
recent visit, unless otherwise stated.
Glossary of Terms
Facilities:
Public calibration/testing service: Commercial operations which actively seek work from others.
Conditionally available for public
calibration/testing:
Established for another primary purpose but, more commonly than not,
is available for outside work.
Normally not available for public
calibration/testing:
Unavailable for public calibration/testing more often than not.
Laboratory users wishing to obtain assurance that calibration or test results are reliable and carried out to the Irish
National Accreditation Board criteria should insist on receiving an accredited calibration certificate or test report.
Users should contact the laboratory directly to ensure that this scope of accreditation is current. INAB will, on
request, verify the status and scope.

Schedule of Accreditation
Permanent Laboratory: Category A
THE IRISH NATIONAL ACCREDITATION BOARD (INAB) is the Irish body for the accreditation of
organisations including laboratories.
Laboratory accreditation is available to testing and calibration facilities operated by manufacturing
organisations, government departments, educational institutions and commercial testing/calibration
services. Indeed, any organisation involved in testing, measurement or calibration in any area of
technology can seek accreditation for the work it is undertaking.
Each accredited laboratory has been assessed by skilled specialist assessors and found to meet criteria
which are in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO 15189 (medical laboratories). Frequent audits,
together with periodic inter-laboratory test programmes, ensure that these standards of operation are
maintained.
Testing and Calibration Categories:
Category A:
Permanent laboratory calibration and testing where the laboratory is erected on a fixed
location for a period expected to be greater than three years.
Category B: Site calibration and testing that is performed by staff sent out on site by a permanent
laboratory that is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.
Category C: Site calibration and testing that is performed in a site/mobile laboratory or by staff sent
out by such a laboratory, the operation of which is the responsibility of a permanent
laboratory accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.
Category D: Site calibration and testing that is performed on site by individuals and organisations that
do not have a permanent calibration/testing laboratory. Testing may be performed using
(a) portable test equipment
(b) a site laboratory
(c) a mobile laboratory or
(d) equipment from a mobile or site laboratory
Standard Specification or Test Procedure Used:
The standard specification or test procedure that is accredited is the issue that is current on the date of the most
recent visit, unless otherwise stated.
Glossary of Terms
Facilities:
Public calibration/testing service: Commercial operations which actively seek work from others.
Conditionally available for public
calibration/testing:
Established for another primary purpose but, more commonly than not,
is available for outside work.
Normally not available for public
calibration/testing:
Unavailable for public calibration/testing more often than not.
Laboratory users wishing to obtain assurance that calibration or test results are reliable and carried out to the Irish
National Accreditation Board criteria should insist on receiving an accredited calibration certificate or test report.
Users should contact the laboratory directly to ensure that this scope of accreditation is current. INAB will, on
request, verify the status and scope.
