Local authorities regulate the storage of treated sewage sludge in permitted facilities in their functional area, originating from wastewater treatment plants. Each facility must apply for a Certificate of registration from the relevant local authority, as specified in the Waste Management (Registration of Sewage Sludge Facility) Regulations 2010 (S.I. No. 32/2010).
Each facility is monitored and inspected at random times throughout the year by staff of the Environment Section.
If you have any queries in relation to sewage sludge facilities regulations enforcement, please contact the Environment Section on 059 913 6231 or by email environment@carlowcoco.ie
