Call for Information on Slurry Dumping Incident Adjacent to Glennafalla River
Waterford City and County Council is seeking information from the public in relation to the dumping of agricultural slurry in a roadside ditch adjacent to the Glennafalla River.
The slurry was dumped approximately 1.5km north of Mount Mellary along the L5051 Tooranaraheen Road.
Adam James, Agricultural Inspector with Waterford City and County Council said, “The slurry was dumped within metres of the riverbank and would inevitably impact water quality in the river. The Glennafalla is a high-status objective water body, which is among the most sensitive river habitats to pollution of this kind.”
Waterford City and County Council is asking anyone with information, or dashcam footage of the incident to contact the Environment Section in Waterford City and County Council on 0818 10 20 20 or email contact@waterfordcouncil.ie
