This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Ministerial Foreword The impacts and consequences of flooding and coastal erosion can be devastating and with one in six properties across Wales at risk of flooding we face significant challenges to ensure we are better prepared and can manage flooding and erosion to minimise the impacts on those at risk. Current climate change predictions outlined in UKCP09 suggest that across Wales and the UK we face significant risks from flooding. As our climate changes, bringing increases in the volume and intensity of rainfall, rising sea levels and increased storminess means that more frequent and more severe flooding events, coupled with intensified coastal erosion, seem inevitable. It is clear that we must reconsider our approach to flooding and coastal erosion in Wales. Simply building more and bigger defences will not be enough, and we need to consider other ways of managing the risk.

    River Ogwen Wednesday June 20Th 2018

    RRC Site Visit Series River Ogwen Wednesday June 20th 2018 Join us on the Afon Ogwen in Snowdonia to visit a local hydropower scheme along with a large scale restoration of the river in the Nant Ffrancon Morning - Community Hydropower Scheme This Hydro Ogwen scheme will utilise the water flowing in the Afon Ogwen using an intake weir across the channel. This is a 100kW scheme on the river above the waterfalls below Pont Ogwen, generating approximately 500,000Kwh per year. More information Afternoon - River Ogwen The Ogwen is in a mountainous location of Snowdonia below Llyn Ogwen (Lake Ogwen), and flows northwards through the Nant Francon valley. During the 1960s the river was dredged over a 4km length to reduce the frequency of flooding over the valley floor to improve livestock grazing. Over the following 30 years the river flushed virtually all bed gravels through the system and scoured the river bed and banks. The reach became severely degraded, the once thriving salmon fishery declined and flooding was still troublesome to farmers. In the late 1990s, Environment Agency Wales carried out a large scale restoration project which involved raising the level of the riverbed, re-creating an island and creating four boulder cascades and pool and riffle sequences. Some runs of gravel were introduced and shoals were created on the inside of bends. View RiverWiki case study Programme and Information The visit is FREE to RRC members. If space is available, non-members are welcome to attend at a cost of £30. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

This assessment was undertaken in accordance with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) guidelines (Defra, 2006a). Because of the large number of watercourses within the study area a screening exercise was carried out which identified all significant watercourses within the study area and determined whether these should be carried through to the Appendix F assessment.

Cemaes Head is marked by steep but not vertical cliffs and large areas of heathland mosaic, with the land rising behind. Cardigan Island has low cliffs and steep 2-1 Supplementary Planning Guidance: Seascape Character Assessment December 2013 Seascape Character Area Description Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Seascape Character Assessment edges with a bare grass dome. There are panoramic views from the headlands. Key Characteristics The high sandstone and mudstone cliffs reaching 175mAOD cliffs on the headlands to the south. The landform is lower to the north and on Cardigan Island at around 50mAOD. The shallow sea is closely associated with the Teifi estuary, but more exposed to winds and swell from the west or north and with severe wave climate around Cemaes Head. Rural mainly pastoral landcover with no settlement with semi-natural coastal vegetation and heathland in places. The coastal path on Cemaes Head is slightly set back from the cliff edge but rejoins the cliff top to the west. Wildlife trips are taken to view dolphins around Cardigan Island and there is potting and some set nets. Panoramic views are possible from Cemaes Head and the area is remote and exposed. General lack of light pollution. Physical Influences These two prominent rocky headlands at the mouth of the Teifi valley are joined by steep but not vertical cliffs of north east- south west striking Ordovician sandstones and mudstones.
