These nutrient sensitive areas are those river waters listed in accordance with the Urban Waste Water Treatment (UWWT) Directive 91/271/EEC on Urban Waste Water Treatment and S.I. 254 / 2001, S.I. 440/2004 and S.I. 48/2010. The waterbody containing the sensitive area is used to represent the nutrient sensitive area.

ProvenanceThe nutrient sensitive areas included within the Register are those waters listed in the Urban Waste
Water Treatment (UWWT) Directive 91/271/EEC and Regulations S.I. No. 208/1999, S.I. 254/2001,
S.I. 440/2004 and S.I. 48/2010. The waterbody containing the sensitive area is used to represent the
nutrient sensitive area. A Nitrates Action Programme was prepared in accordance with Article 5 of the
Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) and was applied to the whole territory of the State. Consequently no NVZs
were designated and a polygon showing the whole of the Republic of Ireland
is supplied for reporting purposes. Spatial Accuracy: all protected water bodies are extracted from
the existing WFD water body layers: spatial accurracy of each of the water body types (river, lake or transitional water)
is described in the metadata for that layer. Thematic Accuracy: The name of each protected area is as per the relevant
legislation. Protected area codes are unique incremental numbers. Currency: New Urban Waste Water Regulations were
created in early 2010, but this was past the deadline for creation of RBMPs. New sensitive areas designated in this
legislation have been added to the national register of protected areas but are not reported as they were not
designated at the time of RBMP creation Logical Consistency. The dataset meets the topological requirements set
out in Guidance Document number 22, Support for Reporting of RBMP, Guidance on reporting of spatial data. Article 10
of the Directive obliges Member States to report every 4 years to the European Commission on the implementation of
the Directive in their country.
