South Dublin County Council N7 Newlands Cross Upgrade Environmental Impact Statement Arup Consulting Engineers scheme will not have any significant detrimental effects on the playing of the course or it’s amenity. The proposed interchange will have a significant positive economic impact on a large number of businesses in the local area (and regionally) due to improved journey time. A small number of businesses on the north side of the Naas Road could be aversely impacted by loss of driver familiarity and delays to access caused by the need to cross one set of traffic lights. Where possible, the upgrade of Newlands Cross has been designed to avoid all properties. In certain instances, land take has been unavoidable. It is these instances, where it is proposed to acquire land from properties they are assessed in this study. The impacts vary and include minor, moderate and major impacts at various properties. Access to all existing properties will be maintained at all times during the construction phase. This may require temporary alternate access arrangements at some locations. All access will be re-instated upon completion of construction. Mitigation measures in the form of compensation are not part of the EIS and are therefore not considered further in this study. NTS14. SURFACE WATER AND DRAINAGE Newlands Cross is located within the Camac River catchment and in proximity to the Dodder River Catchment. Both of these rivers are tributaries of the Liffey River. Both of these rivers are noted for their amenity and ecological value within the Greater Dublin Metropolitan Area. There are no culverted watercourses in the vicinity of Newlands Cross and the proposed junction upgrade will not change this. The existing drainage for the N7 at Newlands Cross enters the Camac River catchment via two outfalls; Fonthill Road drains directly to the Camac River and an outfall at the corner of the Belgard Road and N7. This outfall flows into Ballymount Park’s surface water system which subsequently feeds into the Camac River in Walkinstown. The proposed junction upgrade will increase the impermeable road surface which will subsequently increase surface water flow to the river system. The new drainage system will incorporate flow attenuation measures to maintain the current flow rate in accordance with design storm return period standards outlined by South Dublin County Council and the NRA. The potential pollution of surface water during the construction phase will be mitigated by the provision of appropriate controls and working methods. These methods will be addressed by the contract documents and includes the bunding around diesel/petrol storage tanks and vehicle maintenance. Petrol interceptors, silt traps and emergency spill facilities will be incorporated into the drainage scheme to contain any accidental spillages and runoff from the paved areas associated with the proposed junction upgrade during the operational phase. NTS15. INTERACTION OF EFFECTS This section addresses the environmental aspects that are not specifically addressed in the individual specialist sections of the EIS and also the environmental aspects that are considered to be interactions between specialist subjects. Only topics, which could be logically linked to the proposed upgrade have been considered and examined in detail. Accordingly, where a topic is not mentioned, it has been concluded that no potential for impact exists. Human Beings and Health are addressed throughout the EIS, but not specifically in one section, e.g., the economic and social considerations are detailed in the Material Assets Chapter. The effects of the development on Human Beings with regard to Traffic & Transport, Noise & Vibration, Landscape & Visual, Air Quality and Climate are also addressed in their respective chapters.
