    WASTE RECEPTION PLAN 2019 - 2021

    Overview

    There are 102 piers and harbours around the coast of Donegal under the control of

    Donegal County Council, with a number of additional harbour/piers in existence under

    private ownership. These harbours range in size from very small facilities catering for a

    small number of vessels to the larger commercial harbours. In 2003 a report and inventory

    of all of the harbours in Co. Donegal was prepared and published and this is regularly

    updated by Donegal County Council. A full list of the piers/harbours is included in

    Appendix A.

    Importance of Delivery of Ship-generated Waste & Cargo Residues

    The ultimate purpose of proper delivery of ship-generated waste and cargo residues to

    shore reception facilities is to reduce the discharge of waste into the sea from ships using

    ports, thereby contributing to the protection of the marine environment.

    SI 117 / 2003 Eurpoean Communities (Port Reception Facilities for ship-generated waste

    and cargo residues) Regulations 2003 require the Local Harbour Authority (Donegal County

    Council) to prepare a waste reception plan in accordance with schedule 2 of said

    regulations.

    Distribution of the Plan

    The plan is available for inspection at the following locations :

    Donegal County Council, Piers & Harbours Section, Road Design Office, County House,

    Lifford, Co Donegal

    Donegal County Council, Piers & Harbours Section, Donegal Town PSC,

    Drumlonagher, Donegal Town, Co Donegal

    On-line at www.donegalcountycouncil.ie

    The distribution list is contained in Appendix B.

    Consultation and Assessment of Need for Port Reception Facilites

    Most of the Council’s harbours are small and are used by local inshore fishermen and

    leisure craft owners. Any waste generated by the users of the smaller

    ports/piers/harbours is generally taken home for disposal.

    None of the harbours under the control of Donegal County Council have cargo vessel

    traffic.

    Following a review of all of the piers and harbours under the Council’s control, it was

    determined that there are thirteen ports with significant activity and it is at these locations

    that the Donegal County Council Waste Reception Plan will be implemented:

    Greencastle Carrickarory Glengad

    Buncrana Rathmullan Downings

    Malin Head Bunagee Bunbeg

    Burtonport Magheraroarty Teelin

    Donegal Town

    From analysis of the marine traffic in the area and in consultation with harbour users, an

    assessment was undertaken to establish the level of PRF required at each location to

    adequately meet the needs of the ships normally visiting each pier/harbour. The

    considerations and outcomes are documented in this the Port Reception Plan 2018-2021

    and any significant changes arising from the previous plan are recorded in Appendix C.

    The Council has key stakeholders at these facilities and works in consultation with same to

    continuely assess changing or growing needs due to seasonal demand or growth in activity.

    The Piers & Harbours team liaises with these user groups, fishing organisations, the

    http://www.donegalcountycouncil.ie/

  • Donegal County Council – Piers & Harbours November 2018

    Harbour Masters, the environment section and waste collection providers to amend

    facilities as demanded by the level of use at piers and harbours.

    Public consultations are ongoing through direct contact from the public to the Executive

    and through Elected Representatives.

    Said stakeholders assist the Council on an ongoing basis to manage these port reception

    facilities by reporting on issues arising with respect to said reception facilities (as no

    Council presence at most of the sites).

    Following the consultations and assessment process, the Council has identified a

    Capacity of the PRF

    Level of Service

    Donegal County Council provides a service to its customers and pier/harbour users in

    relation to waste management at a selected number of piers/harbours around its shore.

    The Council does not provide a waste collection service from individual boats/vessels.

    Instead it provides facilities at the identified piers/harbours as herein referred to, to which

    its customers may deposit specific waste types in recepticles. The Council then arranges

    for the collection of said waste by appropriately licenced waste contractors to dispose of

    or recycle said waste in accordance with EU legislation and waste disposal regulations.

    Waste/cargo residue handled by third parties

    There are no arrangements with third parties to handle waste/cargo residue or to provide

    a waste service on behalf of the Local Authority at any of the 13 piers/harbours identified

    in the Donegal County Council Waste Reception Plan 2018-2021.

    It is noted that the Rathmullen Marina which is privately owned and operated, provides its

    own waste management arrangements.

    The Council, in delivering its waste reception plan, relies on assistance from local fishing

    community groups and individuals at a number of pier/harbour locations (Glengad,

    Buncrana, Rathmullen, Malin Head, Bonagee, Bunbeg and Donegal Town) to identify when

    collection services are required or when additional collection services are required due to

    an increase in normal / expected use.

    Waste/cargo residue which cannot be received at the pier/harbour

    The waste/cargo residue which cannot be received at each of the 13 piers/harbours

    as per identified herein is any waste or cargo residue not referred to under the

    various pier/harbour need assessment.

    There is no demand for cargo residue reception in the Donegal County Council

    jurisdication.

  • Donegal County Council – Piers & Harbours November 2018

    There are no onsite facilities to handle sewage at any of the identified pier/harbour

    facilities. However, to assist boat owners/masters of vessels, details are included in

    this plan in Appendix D for local licenced waste management contractors available for

    direct hire.

    Byelaws 2010” came into effect on 1st September 2010. The Byelaws impose a blanket

    charge for the disposal of ship generated waste as detailed in this plan under “Charging

    System”.

    Copies of the byelaws are available on request from the Council’s Piers & Harbours Section

    or may be downloaded from its website. The current waste reception charges [Extracted

    from Donegal County Council (Certain Harbours) Byelaws 2010] for the harbours included

    in this plan are as follows:

    Disposal of ship generated waste (mandatory

    on all vessels operating from the harbour)

    Less than 10 GT

    10 or more GT

    20 or more GT

    30 or more GT

    100 or more GT

    €10 per month

    €20 per month

    €30 per month

    €60 per month

    €100 per month

    Cost Recovery System

    The Cost Recovery System should in accordance with the current regulations, include for a

    method of charging an indirect fee for the use of the PRF irrespective of whether the PRF

    are used. An explanation of how the indirect fee should be calculated so it covers/exceeds

    30% or the cost of providing the service. An explanation of any differentiation in charges

    by size or type of ship should be given and a clear explanation of what is covered in the

    indirect fee should be set out.

    Currently the Donegal County Council byelaws fees are insuffienct in value and/or volume

    do enable same to cover 30% of the cost of providing the service. A review of said byelaws

    will be required to address the fee values such that same when calculated equates to at

    least 30% of the cost of providing the services. It is proposed to commence the

    aforementioned byelaws review in 2019.

    Direct charges levied by external contractors

    There are no direct charges levied by external contractors and so no information can be

    provided on any such charges for delivering waste not covered by the indirect fee.

    Payment process for waste reception charges

    Charges for the disposal of ship generated waste is currently being collected at the

    following ports by the Council’s Harbour Masters:

    Greencastle

    Burtonport

    The collection of harbour dues (including charges for the disposal of ship generated waste)

    is undertaken through the issue of an annual invoice. The Harbour Masters identify the

    larger vessels at the aforementioned ports/harbours. The administration issues an invoice

    for the appropriate charges to same. Payment can be made in a variety of ways as

    outlined in the information letter issued to the ship owners, and where payment is not

    forthcoming, the Council’s income collection team follow up with the owner. It is noted

    here that only larger vessels are charged as, following assessment, it was considered that

    the smaller vessels do not generate sufficient waste to warrant charging.

    Record Keeping

    Records on the amounts of waste and cargo residues received are recorded and submitted

    on Waste Reception Plan Report Form annually. Information on same is recorded by the

    Harbour Masters throughout the year. Records are kept at the Harbour Masters offices

    and are retained for a minimum of 3 years.

    Receipts are issued for waste collected and disposed of.

    Due to the nature of the fleets and low volumes of waste collected for disposal, charges

    are only legislated for at the larger ports/harbours. With the introduction in 2018 of the

    annual charging invoice system, it is considered that there is potential to increase the

    number of locations where the waste reception plan could be extended to. This will be

    considered as part of the Byelaws review due to commence during 2019.

    Public Consultation

    The Port Reception Plan 2018-2021 will be advertised for a 4 week period commencing in

    September 2018 for consideration by the public and to facilitate submissions in relation to

    the proposed plan. Any observations submitted will be considered.
