Have your say on how flood risk is to be managed in your area!
River Dodder Catchment Flood Study, Dublin. Brian Hayes TD, Minister of State for Public Service Reform and the Office of Public Works will launch the Public Consultation in South Dublin County Council, County Hall, Tallaght, Tuesday 6th March at 9.30 am.
The Dodder Catchment Flood Risk Assessment & Management (CFRAM) Study addresses the existing flood risk around the River Dodder, its five main tributaries and estuary, and the potential for significant increases in this risk in the future. The Study has been underway since 2005, managed by Dublin City Council on behalf of the Office of Public Works (OPW) and its partners South Dublin County Council and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
The key outputs of the Dodder CFRAM Study – flood maps, a Draft Catchment Flood Risk Management Plan - are now available for Formal Public Consultation. An accompanying Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Environmental Report is also available, which identifies, evaluates and describes the likely significant effects of implementing the draft Plan on the surrounding environment, and has been prepared to meet the requirements of the European Communities (Environmental Assessment of Certain Plans and Programmes) Regulations 2004 (Statutory Instrument Number 435 of 2004).
A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) indicating the likely effects on Natura 2000 sites as per the Habitat Directive is also on display for comment.
Comments are invited from the Public until 6 June 2012 on the flood maps, draft Plan, the SEA and NIS. All these documents are available on the project website www.dublincity.ie/Pages/DodderFloodingStudy.aspx and in hard copy at the following locations:-
