ii Progress Report Braintree District Council April 2010

Executive Summary

This 2010 Progress Report of 2009 monitoring data showes that two exceedence of the NO2 annual mean objective level have been measured in 2009 at the Hatfield Peverel NO2 diffusion tube site situated next to the A12 and Chipping Hill in Witham. The data for Chipping Hill has been annualised to allow for the low data capture at this site

There are no diffusion tube sites with annual mean NO2 concentrations in excess of 60 g/m3 in Braintree and it was considered unlikely that there will be any exceedences of the hourly NO2 objective.

Pam I will leave it up to you to add words detailing what you want to do.

Progress Report v Date : April 2010 Braintree District Council - England 1 Introduction 1.1 Description of Local Authority Area

Braintree is a largely rural district and has the second largest geographical area in Essex, covering 612 square kilometres. Just over half of the population lives in one of the three main towns of Braintree, Halstead and Witham. The main administrative centre is the market town of Braintree.

The main sources of air pollution in Braintree are busy roads, such as the A12 and A120. There are 76 industrial processes that are permitted by the Council.

1.2 Purpose of Progress Report

Progress Reports are required in the intervening years between the three-yearly Updating and Screening Assessment reports. Their purpose is to maintain continuity in the Local Air Quality Management process.

They are not intended to be as detailed as Updating and Screening Assessment Reports, or to require as much effort. However, if the Progress Report identifies the risk of exceedence of an Air Quality Objective, the Local Authority (LA) should undertake a Detailed Assessment immediately, and not wait until the next round of Review and Assessment.

1.3 Air Quality Objectives

The air quality objectives applicable to Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) in England are set out in the Air Quality (England) Regulations 2000 (SI 928), and the Air Quality (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (SI 3043). They are shown in Table 1.1. This table shows the objectives in units of microgrammes per cubic metre g/m3 (for carbon monoxide the units used are milligrammes per cubic metre, mg/m3). Table 1.1. includes the number of permitted exceedences in any given year (where applicable).

Progress Report 7 Date : April 2010 Braintree District Council - England

1.4 Summary of Previous Review and Assessments

Braintree District Council undertook its First Round of review and assessment, including Stage 1, 2 and 3 reports, between 1999 – 2001. The main air quality issues were found to be emissions of NO2 and PM10 from vehicles on the A12 and A120. It was predicted that all of the air quality objectives would be achieved and that it was therefore not necessary to declare any AQMA for any pollutant.

The second round of Review and Assessment was undertaken between 2003 and 2005. The 2003 USA considered the seven LAQM pollutants and found that the AQS objectives would be met by the target dates. It was however recommended that the Council expand its diffusion tube monitoring programme to include the nearest receptors to the A12, to confirm the USA findings for NO2. The 2005 Progress Report (Braintree, 2005) showed that the Council was still meeting the AQS objectives. NO2 and PM10 monitored concentration levels were found to be high as expected at a site immediately adjacent to the A12 in Hatfield Peverel but there is no relevant exposure at this site.

The third round USA was completed in 2006 and revisited the results of previous assessments to determine whether there were any areas of concern for air quality within Braintree District Council. The USA concluded that there was still no risk of exceedence of the objectives therefore a Detailed Assessment was not required at this stage. The 2007 and 2008 Progress Reports confirmed the findings of the USA.

The fourth round Updating and Screening Assessment review of 2008 monitoring data showed that one exceedence of the NO2 annual mean objective level had been measured in 2008 at the Hatfield Peverel NO2 diffusion tube site situated next to the A12. There was no relevant exposure within 30m of the site, but there were sensitive receptors close to the A12. There are no diffusion tube sites with annual mean NO2 concentrations in excess of 60 g/m3 in Braintree and it was considered unlikely that there will be any exceedences of the hourly NO2 objective.

The diffusion tubes and their placement are not part of any co-location study

With regard to the application of a bias adjustment factor for the diffusion tubes, the technical guidance LAQM.TG (09) and Review and Assessment Helpdesk recommends use of a local bias adjustment factor where available and relevant to diffusion tube sites. Braintree District Council does not operate any continuous NO2 monitoring sites in their district and therefore a local bias adjustment factor cannot be calculated. In the absence of a local bias correction factor, the default bias correction factor for Bristol District Council Scientific Services analysis using the 20% TEA in water method has been used based on 1 study has obtained from the University of the West of England (UWE) website1.

. “Caution is advised as this adjustment factor is on the basis of 1 study only, the factor is calculated as 0.82 for 2009

Progress Report 9 Date : April 2010 Braintree District Council - England

Braintree District Council undertook monitoring at 12 NO2 diffusion tubes sites in 2009. In 2008 two new sites were introduced alongside the A120 close to a busy roundabout at Galleys Corner and at a junction in the Braintree Town Centre where Victoria Street meets Railway Street. The Village Hall site at Faulkbourne was discontinued in 2008.

2.2 Comparison of Monitoring Results with Air Quality Objectives

2.2.1 Nitrogen Dioxide

Diffusion Tube Monitoring Data

The NO2 diffusion tube data are summarised in the Table 2.4. The full dataset (monthly mean values) are included in Appendix 3.

The 2009 diffusion tube results show two monitoring location exceeding the annual mean NO2 objective : Hatfield Peverel – A12 – exceeding annual mean objective Braintree – Chipping Hill – exceeding annual mean objective

The Hatfield Peverel diffusion tube site is approximately 2m from the edge of the A12 south bound carriageway and south of Hatfield Peverel Village. There is no relevant exposure within 30m of the site, but there are sensitive receptors that lie close to the A12 as it travels through rural areas of the parishes Feering, Kelvedon, Rivenhall and Hatifield Peverel.

The data capture for Chipping hill for the calendar year 2009 was only 83% therefore the results have been annulised using automatic monitoring stations at Thurrock Stanford Le Hope, Castlepoint and Brentwood the ratio used was 1.08 as shown at appendix 1

With respect to the hourly NO2 objective, there are no diffusion tubes sites with annual 3 mean NO2 concentrations in excess of 60 g/m , and therefore it is unlikely that there will be any exceedences of the hourly NO2 objective.

2.2.4 Benzene

There is currently no requirement for Braintree District Council to monitor Benzine levels.

2.2.5 Other pollutants monitored

No other pollutants are currently monitored by Braintree District Council.

2.2.6 Summary of Compliance with AQS Objectives

Braintree has measured concentrations of NO2 above the annual mean objective at relevant locations and will need to proceed to a Detailed Assessment, for: Hatfield Peverel – A12 Braintree – Chipping Hill.

16 Progress Report Braintree District Council April 2010

3 New Local Developments

Braintree has identified the following new local development which may impact on air quality in the Local Authority area.

The Rivenhall Airfield incinerator

These will be taken into consideration in the next Updating and Screening Assessment, scheduled for 2012.

Progress Report 17 Date : April 2010 Braintree District Council - England

4 Local / Regional Air Quality Strategy

Braintree District Strategic Partnership have published a sustainable community strategy entitled One District One Vision. In particular reference to road traffic pollutants then the document quotes – ‘ Local road networks also need to be maintained and improved at key points to encourage more efficient local public transport, improve air quality, and reduce local congestion If car use is to be reduced, congestion and pollution reduced and healthy lifestyles encouraged, good high quality walking, cycling and local bus links need to be made between all parts of the towns and new developments. The use of the car for local trips needs to be minimised as far as practicable, to reduce congestion, pollution, and promote healthier living.

18 Progress Report Braintree District Council April 2010

5 Planning Applications

The Rivenhall Airfield incinerator ECC waste planning application is awaiting a decision from the planning inspectorate – this was subject to an air quality assessment and does present some concern in respect of a deterioration of air quality in that locality although predicted levels suggest that there will be no exceedances of objectives.

Progress Report 19 Date : April 2010 Braintree District Council - England

6 Local Transport Plans and Strategies

Braintree District is covered by the Essex County Council Local Transport Plan. There are a number of general measures in the Essex LTP which are aimed at reducing the impact of road transport on air quality.

The District Council is working in partnership with Essex County Council Development, Highways and Transportation department to ensure that new traffic management schemes consider the potential impact on air quality. Additional air quality monitoring programmes are being introduced as part of the monitoring requirements of the LTP.

20 Progress Report Braintree District Council April 2010

7 Conclusions and Proposed Actions

7.1 Conclusions from New Monitoring Data

The 2010 Progress Report of the 2009 data has shown that two exceedence of the NO2 annual mean objective level have been measured at the Hatfield Peverel NO2 diffusion tube site situated next to the A12 and the newly installed Chipping Hill site in Braintree.

This additional diffusion tube monitoring Shows What Pam? Are you thinking of proceeding to a detailed assessment for the A12? With a data capture rate of 83% you could argue that you need to continue monitoring for a full year in order to get reliable data to base a decision on Chipping Hill??

With respect to the hourly NO2 objective, There are no diffusion tube sites with annual 3 mean NO2 concentrations in excess of 60 g/m in Braintree and therefore it is unlikely that there will be any exceedences of the hourly NO2 objective.

7.2 Proposed Actions

Proposed actions arising from the 2010 Progress report are as follows: Continue diffusion tube monitoring in order to identify future changes in pollutant concentrations in Braintree. Complete an Annual Progress Report in 2011 to assess all new air quality monitoring data, new developments and new industrial processes in Braintree.

Progress to a detailed Assessment for the 2 areas exceeding the NO2 objective.
