Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

The document summarizes barriers to sustainable transport in Ireland and recommendations to overcome them. It identifies short, medium, and long-term barriers such as inflexible bus services, insufficient funding for public transport, and urban sprawl. Recommendations include improving public transport and cycling infrastructure, residential density guidelines, and restructuring vehicle taxation to account for environmental costs. Research priorities are listed around consumer attitudes, fiscal measures, and sustainable neighborhoods.

Research Priorities II ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Congested road is a perfect example of tragedy of the commons as there is no restriction for drivers not to exploit it. Car users are independent in their traveling decisions but their decisions have negative consequences for others for which they do not pay rather the non-users pay for them in the form of hard cash, inconvenience and lack of safety. This unwanted but widely practiced phenomena has over-shadowed the livable environment even in universities all across Pakistan particularly in Peshawar university campus (case study) where the environment is exacerbated by minimum personalized vehicle holders for the maximum non-car commuters resulting from the free vehicular entrance and biased provision of infrastructure. This leads to huge social divide, inequality and gender disparity. In addition to finding appropriate rent for provision of new equitable, environment and gender friendly modes of transport like rental bikes and golf carts, Willingness to pay for congestion pricing as proposed solution is investigated through online webbased questionnaire survey from 580 respondents and statistical analysis is used for selecting most feasible mode(s) of alternate in-campus transportation. Results showed that 67.6% respondents were WTP for congestion charging and 55.3% selected golf carts as their preferred mode in campus followed by rental bike with 27.6%. Appropriate rent chosen for golf cart was PKR 20 and less than PKR 20 for rental bikes by more than half of the respondents. Congestion pricing was perceived as effective solution and proposed modes were opted as the preferred modes for traveling in campus.

Title: Level of Service F for Grade A Streets Track: Prosper Format: 90 minute panel Abstract: Relying solely on Level of Service criteria for street design, which evaluates vehicle congestion, leads to poor outcomes on many of our roadways. LOS F, far from a failure, creates opportunities to reallocate roadway space for more livable street designs. In this session, learn about projects in Cambridge and San Francisco that overcame opposition and generated community support in prioritizing better bicycling and walking over vehicle capacity during the peak hour of travel.

Signpost Seminar: Water quality - national problems, local solutions

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

Jenny Deakin from the EPA Catchments Unit gave a Teagasc Signpost Seminar on April 20 2021. The seminar covered water quality, focused on the agricultural sector, and the solutions needed to improve water quality, and new tools to target the right measure in the right place. This includes upgraded Pollution Impact Potential Maps for Nitrogen and Phosphorus, together with overland flow and focused delivery points.

EPA River Monitoring Fact Sheet

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s rivers. Ireland has more than 73,000 km of river channels. If placed end-to-end, they could encircle the Earth almost twice. Three-quarters of these channels are very small streams that typically flow into larger rivers. Biological monitoring has been carried out in Irish rivers since 1971. The current national river monitoring programme covers more than 13,000 km of river channel. The national monitoring programme is run by the EPA and focuses on the main river channels rather than the smaller streams. The programme includes more than 2,800 sites sampled for biology, with almost half of these being sampled for physical and chemical parameters.

EPA Marine Phytoplankton Fact Sheet

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring phytoplankton in Ireland's marine environment. The EPA and the Marine Institute sample phytoplankton in estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland. They carry out sampling three times during the summer and once during winter. At each location, they take water samples just below the surface and above the seabed. They use the samples to assess how much phytoplankton is in the water and what species are present. Phytoplankton are tiny, free-floating plants found suspended in the world’s oceans. Their name comes from Greek and means ‘plant drifter’. They are carried along by ocean currents and are usually found floating near the surface of the water. Like all plants they need sunlight to grow. The main sources of nutrients around Ireland’s coast are discharges from wastewater treatment plants and run off from agricultural land. Phytoplankton in the estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland are monitored by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and the Marine Institute. They monitor phytoplankton to assess the quality (status) of our marine environment. They must do this as part of the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.

EPA Marine Monitoring Fact Sheet

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s marine environment. Ecologically healthy marine waters are a valuable natural resource. They support a rich and diverse range of ecosystems, habitats and species, and they are also a source of food – from wild fisheries and aquaculture. They are also important for recreational activities and tourism. Transitional and coastal waters are assessed under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Having coordinated frameworks for water quality for all the water bodies in Ireland, and across Europe, allows us to compare our results with other countries. It allows us to see what works to help us make sure all our water bodies achieve at least ‘good’ status, and no deterioration occurs.

EPA Lake Monitoring Fact Sheet

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s lakes. A total of 225 lakes are currently included as part of the national surface waters monitoring programme run by the EPA, this covers around 80% of the surface area of all lakes in Ireland. This includes: • all lakes greater than 50 hectares • lakes that are used for supplying drinking water • lakes that are of regional, local or scientific interest

EPA Lake Monitoring Aquatic Plants Fact Sheet

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This Plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring aquatic plants in Irish lakes. Aquatic plants are good at showing if the quality of the water is good or bad and play an important role in lake ecology by providing food and a habitat for many smaller plants, animals and birds. They also: • provide shelter for young fish • help to improve the clarity of the water • help stabilise lake shore banks • reduce the amount of sediment being suspended in the water The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors these aquatic plants at more than 10,000 sites in over 200 lakes once every three years.
