Cork City Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy
SEA Environmental Report
The GSI rates groundwaters according to both their productivity and vulnerability to pollution. Aquifer vulnerability refers to the ease with which pollutants of various kinds can enter into groundwater. The vulnerability of aquifers underlying the city are mapped on Figure 4-15. The GSI also rates aquifers based on the hydrogeological characteristics and on the value of the groundwater resource. This is referred to as aquifer productivity and is mapped on Figure 4-16. The Water assessment utilised information from the following sources:
EPA and Marine Institute - WFD Data
• •
GSI data on groundwaters, aquifers and bedrock information
• Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Study and associated FRMPs (OPW, as reviewed 2022) • Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) Mapping 53 (OPW)
4.9.1 Key Considerations relating to the Strategy It was not envisaged the Strategy will have any significant effect on the receiving water environment - having regard to the predicted limited scale and magnitude of EV charging point development works supported by the Strategy and anticipated drainage arrangements for EV development works.
