  • Teifi Sampling Points
    Riverfly Monitoring Newsletter Southwest Wales – forward look for 2009 December 2009 A word from your Environment Agency Co-ordinator Firstly I’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our volunteers for what has been a brilliant first full year of our South West Wales monitoring programme. Not only are we now covering over 100 sites overall, we are growing all the time, so the word is obviously spreading about this scheme. Here are a few interesting facts about the work we’ve done this year, some of which surprised me! Total number of sites covered: 100 Number of volunteers involved this year: 62 Total number of samples taken: 160 Total number of concerns identified and resolved: 10 As you can see we’ve achieved a huge amount in 2009, here’s to a successful 2010!! High Flows / Bad Weather Unfortunately, during the autumn/winter period we have been subjected to very bad weather, namely lots of rain swiftly followed by very icy, dangerous driving conditions. As a result of this we were missing samples from several sites, which was very unfortunate as this is the time of year when pesticide issues are most likely to be picked up. Lets hope for a drier, warmer 2010 so we can get a really good dataset going! Having said that, all volunteers should treat the river with respect, and no sample is worth taking risks for in the event of high flows - if in doubt, keep out! Refresher Training We are planning on running one or two refresher training sessions in the first half of 2010, so if anyone feels that they would benefit from this, please let your co-ordinator know.

For example, Housing, Police and Gwalia for specific, individual cases where there are cross agency Anti-social Behaviour issues. The Manager chairs a wider, strategic multi agency Substance Misuse Related Crime, Anti- Social Behaviour and Violent Crime group for Carmarthenshire. 1.1.4 Impacts that may influence the food hygiene inspection programme are the Team’s response to major food incidents for example food poisoning outbreaks, investigation of the illegal meat trade, food fraud, and communicable disease.
