Proposed Maintenance works to The Cutts Control Structure, Castleroe Road, Coleraine

The purpose of the scheme is to maintain the structure to allow it to
continue to meet DfI Rivers’ obligations under the Lough Neagh and
Lower Bann Drainage and Navigation Act (NI) 1955. The proposed works
will include the repainting of all relevant elements of the control structure,
concrete repairs and upgrading/repairing the mechanical and electrical
elements of the structure to current standards.

Having taken account of the characteristics of the works in the proposed
scheme, their location and potential impacts, the Department considers
the proposed scheme is not likely to have significant environmental
effects and does not intend to prepare an Environmental Statement.
