R21 = Acceptable subject to normal good practice. Site may be suitable for discharge to ground, if the minimum depths are met on the site and if there exists suitable percolation. As the soil type in the area is Grey Brown Podzolics (60% of the land area), and as the area is mapped as ‘High’ Vulnerability. Groundwater as a resource will be at risk if the minimum depths required are not achieved on the site, or if the percolation rate is too rapid. Older wells in the area may also be at risk, if the minimum separation distances are not adhered to. Groundwater and wells are therefore the main targets, following the desk study. Given the response and the aquifer type, the site is potentially suitable for a conventional septic tank system if the minimum depths required are met on the site, if the minimum separation distances can be met, and if the percolation rate is adequate. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1This figure of 5 people refers to the potential 5 people maximum that will stay at the proposed dwelling at any one time. RECEIVED: 08/09/2026 4 3.0 ON-SITE ASSESSMENT 3.1 Visual Assessment Landscape Position Relatively Flat Slope Steep <1:5 Shallow 1.5 to 1.20 Relatively Flat  Slope Comment Relatively Flat Surface features within a minimum of 250 metres (Distances to features should be noted in metres) Houses Proposed dwelling to be located >10m Southeast from the proposed percolation area (ppa). Neighbouring dwellings located >10m Southwest from the ppa. Neighbouring dwellings also located 40m North, 60m,100m, & 140m East and 210m Southeast from the ppa. Existing Land Uses Agricultural Grassland Vegetation Indicators Grass is the predominant vegetation throughout the site. Groundwater Flow Directions South Direction Ground Condition Ground conditions are best described as dry and firm through-out the site in the ppa. Site Boundaries Existing Hedge located to the West from the ppa. Fenceline & Road located to the North, dwelling & street area located to the South and East of the ppa. Roads L1402located >4m North from the ppa. Outcrops (Bedrock and/or subsoil) Some outcropping rock evident within the locality. Surface water ponding No surface water ponding evident in the ppa when examined on 22.10.25. It must be noted that weather conditions prior to the site assessment taking place was generally mild conditions. Lakes None occur within 50m of the ppa. Beaches/Shellfish Areas None occur within 200m of the ppa. Wetlands None occur within 200m of the ppa. Karst Features None occur within 200m of the ppa. Watercourses/Streams None occur within 10m of the ppa. Drainage Ditches None occur within 10m of the ppa. Springs If a well is to be bored onsite it should be located at least 30m up-gradient from the ppa; this will therefore be outside the minimum separation distances of the Groundwater Protection Responses of GSI/EPA/DoELG and the EPA Code of Practice (2021). As all the wells in the locality will therefore meet the RECEIVED: 08/09/2026 5 required separation distances of the Groundwater Protection Responses of GSI/EPA/DoELG and the EPA Code of Practice (2021), none are deemed to be at risk from the proposed polishing filter’s installation. As all the wells in the locality will therefore meet the required separation distances of the Groundwater Protection Responses of GSI/EPA/DoELG and the EPA Code of Practice (2021), none are deemed to be at risk from the proposed polishing filter’s installation. Integrate the information above in order to comment on: 1. The potential suitability of the site: The site still seems suitable for discharge to ground. 2. Potential targets at risk: Following the desk study surface water was thought not to be at risk; this was corroborated during the visual assessment. There appears to be few issues with respect to impermeability. From this, surface water does not seem to be a potential target, Groundwater is still a target following the visual assessment, unless the minimum depths required are met on the site and there exists adequate percolation. 3. The suitability of the site to treat the wastewater: Following the visual assessment, it is seen that all appropriate separation distances can be met and the site seems well drained, and pending confirmation of the presence of adequate depths of unsaturated soil and subsoil within the percolation area, as well as sufficient percolation rates under the site, the site should be suitable for treating wastewater adequately.

These highly functional plants can cater for ranges from 1 to 50 PE (population equivalents). The Tricel Novo submerged aeration plant is suitable for domestic and light commercial or communal applications and uses simple proven fixed bed technology. Each system comprises of 3 independent treatment zones, all fulfilling a different stage of the purification process. ►Compression moulded SMC tank. The compression moulding process is one of the most technologically developed processes available to manufacture structural composites. Components are manufactured under heat and high pressure and have unrivalled strength and durability over standard GRP tanks or Polyethylene tanks. ►SMC is unique in the wastewater treatment industry with Tricel SMC tanks operating in some of the harshest climatic conditions for over 50 years with no defects. ►Tricel’s ceramic diffuser is unique in the domestic wastewater treatment plant market and will last twice as long as all standard competitors rubber equivalents. This saves money in both call out fees and replacement parts. ►No concrete backfill for installation on most sites saving up to €400 over lower quality GRP or Polyethylene alternatives from competitors. ►No moving parts or pumps in the plant ensuring reliable operation and minimal maintenance and repair costs. ►Tricel Novo plants are designed with a shallow invert to reduce both installation and time costs. + 353 (0) 64 6632421 sales@tricel.ie Call us Today for a Free Quote How a Tricel Novo works These plants use a simple, proven technology, consisting of 3 treatment zones. In each zone a different stage of the treatment occurs. 1. Wastewater from the dwelling, toilets, sinks, shower etc., enters the plant. 2. Effluent enters the primary settlement chamber. Settlement occurs when the heavier solids drop out of the wastewater and settle to the bottom of the tank to create sludge, and the lighter solids float to the top of the water to create a scum. The top layer acts as a seal and stops odours escaping. This chamber separates up to 70% of the solids present. 3. Next is the aeration chamber, where masses of naturally occurring bacteria inhabit specially designed plastic filter media. The bacteria feed on the waste removing it from the liquid. A continues supply of air from a low pressure, high volume compressor in the top section of the unit sustains these bacteria. Wastewater passes through the filter media over and over, ensuring a very high treatment efficiency. 4. The liquid then proceeds to the final settlement chamber. Any remaining minute bacterial particles separate from the liquid within this chamber before discharge from the plant. This process slows the liquid’s velocity, allowing for any final trace impurities to settle to the bottom of the tank section. A sludge return system then returns these impurities back to the primary settlement chamber. 5. The remaining treated liquid now meets the required standard and is safely passed out of the Tricel Novo plant system. The treated effluent is now ready for discharge to a suitably designed discharge area as required by the relevant local authority. Tricel Novo Wastewater Treatment Plant has an overall efficiency of 95.9% BOD removal All Tricel wastewater treatment plants have been tested to European certification EN 12566–3 and comply with the requirements of S.R. 66:2015. This certification tests all plants for strength, water tightness, durability and treatment efficiency. By using a wastewater treatment plant which is CE certified clients can rest assured that it has complied with tests and inspections which guarantee a high level of security and efficiency. European Certification Requirements RECEIVED: 08/09/2026 Homeowners: Individual domestic installation Larger projects: Commercial installations up to 50PE Technical characteristics/ Plant dimensions ►These plants are suitable for installation at housing estates, camping sites, hotels etc., and have low maintenance and running costs. ►Each WWTP unit is constructed of lightweight SMC and is easy to manoeuvre which simplifies the installation process. ►The lightweight nature of the system makes for easy on-site delivery. ►No need for big excavators and large holes that disrupt and disturb your garden. ►Very low visual impact from fully installed units. ►Example of a fully installed 50PE Novo Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in a 5-star hotel. 1375 535 1300 610 2100 330Ground Level 1375 535 1660 250 2100 330Ground Level ►IE6 gravity outlet Up to 6PE domestic gravity flow outlet. ►IE6 pumped outlet 1-6 domestic pumped unit.
