Discharge Licences

Effluent discharges to waters and sewers, with a few exceptions, require a licence in accordance with Section 4 and 16 of the Local Government (Water Pollution) Acts of 1977 and 1990.  In addition, discharges of greater than 5m3 of sewage effluent to groundwater require a licence under Section 4 of the above Acts.  Copies of relevant application forms and guidance notes can be downloaded from below.

At present there are 107 active Discharge Licences between the County and Borough area.  Table 1 below details the register of licensed discharges to waters and Table 2 discharges to sewers.  Sligo County Council monitors and enforces all licences to ensure compliance with all conditions set.
