This Order confirms and brings into operation the Lough Neagh (Levels) Scheme 2010 (“the 2010 Scheme”) which supplements and modifies the Lough Neagh (Levels) Scheme 1955 (“the 1955 Scheme”). The 2010 Scheme substitutes a new Article for Article 5 of the 1955 Scheme so that the mean level of the Lough shall now be the mean level as recorded on the systems maintained by the Department at Toomebridge and Oxford Island, on the northern and southern shores respectively, and additionally at Loughview Road and Ardboe Point on the eastern and western shores respectively of the Lough. The range of levels within which Lough Neagh is controlled will not change under the new Scheme.
