Strategic Environmental Assessment of River Basin Management Plans and Programme of Measures - Mitigation Measures and Environmental Monitoring Programme Northern Ireland only - 2009

The document outlines the various mitigation measures to be put in place as part of the River Basin Management Plan implementation process and links them with Section 7 on ‘The measures we will use to achieve environmental objectives’ included in the Plans for the river basin districts. At the broad level, implementation of the Plan is expected to bring environmental improvements, since it tackles specific pressures on water quality. However, there are some cases where negative impacts may arise in the wider environment.
