  • North Somerset Moors + Chew Valley & Blagdon Lakes Total Area
    Priority Catchment Targeting Summary March 2012 – March 2014 River Basin District: Severn Catchment: North Somerset Moors + Chew Valley & Blagdon Lakes Total Area: 1,250 km² Reasons for Designation: Recorded Water Framework Directive failures for nitrate and phosphate which exceed permitted levels for drinking water (evidence from Environment Agency and Bristol Water monitoring data on nitrates, phosphates and sediments). High risk of leaching of nitrates to ground water and run-off to surface water due to soil type, slopes and high risk crops. Dairy farming is widespread in the catchment with corresponding high levels of inputs of inorganic fertilisers and slurry. Levels of Nitrate exceed EU limits for drinking water at Hillhead Springs (>70mg/l). This source is abstracted to Bristol Water’s Line of Works. High risk of erosion of sediments and particle-bound phosphates due to soil type, compaction, slopes and high risk crops such as maize. Surface Drinking Water Protected Areas are also at risk due to algal blooms. Nutrient enrichment of Chew Valley and Blagdon lakes1 from diffuse agricultural sources gives rise to cyanobacteria and algal blooms during the summer. Bristol Water sampling data has highlighted elevated pesticide levels (metaldehyde) in Chew and Blagdon Lakes. Slug pellet use on arable farms most likely source. Metaldehyde is very difficult to remove from the supply. Sites of Special Scientific Interest remain in unfavourable condition as a consequence of elevated phosphate in feeder rhynes. Puxton, Biddle Street and Tickenham + Nailsea Moor SSSIs designated for ditch flora at risk. Condition element for phosphate exceeded at Blagdon and Chew Valley Lake SSSIs.
