Water Framework Directive Section 4 Discharges

Published by Environmental Protection Agency

This is a points dataset of licensed and licensable Section 4 discharges to water to support the characterisation of waterbodies for the 3rd Cycle of River Basin Management Planning and beyond. These sites were collected by EPA, in conjunction with the Local Authorities, in early 2024 and published in November 2024. This dataset takes in account, among other datasets, the Section 4s dataset developed in 2005 as Point Source Pressures for the Article 5 Characterisation and Risk Assessment Report for the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC; (European Communities (Water Policy) Regulations 2003 (SI 722 of 2003)) and the previously collated October 2015 dataset.
