Photograph B A Klinck 2002 ii British Geological Survey Final Version – 29 July 2002 Executive Summary The British Geological Survey (BGS) was commissioned by Mr John Clarkson, Alcan Smelting and Power UK, to carry out a desk study of the geology and hydrogeology information of the area around the waste landfill site and ash storage lagoons at Alcan, Lynemouth. The desk study was supplemented by a site visit. A main concern was the possibility that the ash in the lagoons might be contaminated by contact with leachate from the hazardous materials disposed in the landfill. The BGS was asked to provide an independent report on the contamination risk and of the suitability of the ash lagoon test bores plus any existing and proposed groundwater monitoring wells at the Alcan Lynemouth site to detect such contamination. An extensive search was made for previous site investigation reports. The information obtained, in particular the records of over 50 boreholes drilled in the study area since 1990, has been used to review the published geological interpretation and better understand the hydrogeological regime. In general the new information supports the existing solid geological interpretation, but enables improved understanding of the disposition of the superficial deposits including a glacial buried channel. The site is over a minor Coal Measure aquifer, the North Seaton Sandstone, which is underlain by a mudrock aquiclude sequence. Groundwater flow in the sandstone, is dominantly fracture controlled and is to the east. The groundwater system is isolated from the flooded, abandoned mine workings beneath the site where the water level is at about 90 m below Ordnance Datum and slowly rising. Saline intrusion is evident in the aquifer, and the saline interface appears to cut across the axis of the buried glacial channel. An unsaturated zone of sandstone hydraulically separates the landfill and the PFA lagoons from the water table in the North Seaton Sandstone aquifer. It is concluded that it is unlikely that the PFA will become contaminated from the landfill leachate via the groundwater pathway or through direct discharge of leachate through the retaining bunds. The Coal Measure sandstone is overlain, but hydrogeologically unconfined by a glacial till sequence where the flow is probably predominantly vertical through fractures. The landfill operates on the dilute and disperse principle and the limited hydrochemical data available indicates that the groundwater impact diminishes along a flow line from the landfill. The existing series of operational monitoring wells is useful in providing information on water levels to help determine direction of groundwater flow and hydraulic gradient, and chemical data to help determine the extent of saline intrusion from the sea and the extent of dispersion of contaminants from the landfill. However the limited area covered by the wells gives rise to uncertainty in the interpretation. These uncertainties are discussed and possible avenues of investigation and action recommended in order to reduce them. The recommendations include: • Increasing the range of parameters determined in the landfill monitoring wells to include major anions and cations as well as nitrate and ammonia. • Implementing the five additional monitoring wells proposed by URS with specific suggestions for screening of the two proposed on the eastern perimeter of the site • Including a new well, integrated into the monitoring network, at the south-west corner of lagoon 1 • Giving consideration to the complementary approach of building a numerical model for the site iii British Geological Survey Final Version – 29 July 2002 Acknowledgements Miss Charlotte Vye incorporated the geological mapping and borehole data into a Geographic Information System to aid analysis and prepared a number of figures from the digital data. Mr David Granger, URS, Edinburgh supplied a significant amount of the data used to compile this report and his assistance is greatly appreciated.

Under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations (EPR) 2016 (schedule 5, part 1, paragraph 19) a variation may comprise a consolidated permit reflecting the variations and a notice specifying the variations included in that consolidated permit. The requirements of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) are given force in England through the EPR 2016. This permit, for the operation of large combustion plant (LCP), as defined by articles 28 and 29 of the IED, already implements the special provisions for LCP given in the IED. The IED makes special provisions for LCP under Chapter III and contains ELVs applicable to LCP, referred to in Article 30(2) and set out in Annex V. This variation is required to assess the permit for compliance with the revised Best Available Techniques (BAT) Conclusions for the LCP sector published on 17 August 2017 including the incorporation of relevant BAT Associated Emission Levels (AELs) into the permit. Schedule 2 comprises a consolidated permit which reflects the variations being made. All the conditions of the permit have been varied and are subject to the right of appeal. Purpose of this variation: Review permit conditions Article 21(3) of the IED requires the Environment Agency to review conditions in permits that it has issued and to ensure that the permit delivers compliance with relevant standards, within four years of the publication of updated decisions on BAT Conclusions.

We have reviewed the permit for this installation against the revised BAT Conclusions for large combustion plant (LCP) published on 17 August 2017. This is our draft decision document, which explains the reasoning for the consolidated variation notice that we are minded to issue. It explains how we have reviewed and considered the techniques used by the Operator in the operation and control of the plant and activities of the installation. This review has been undertaken with reference to the decision made by the European Commission establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions (‘BAT Conclusions’) for LCP as detailed in document reference IEDC-7-1. It is our record of our decision-making process and shows how we have taken into account all relevant factors in reaching our position. It also provides a justification for the inclusion of any specific conditions in the permit that are in addition to those included in our generic permit template.

  • Northumberland Key Land Use Impact Study PART a Landscape
    Northumberland Key Land Use Impact Study PART A Landscape Sensitivity at Settlement Edges 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of 26 selected settlements within Northumberland in order to assess the relative sensitivities of their landscape surroundings. The assessment aims to assist in guiding future development to the most appropriate locations, based on a review of the character of each settlement, boundaries and sensitivities within the surrounding landscape. 1.2. Each settlement was analysed and assessed based on a combination of desk study and fieldwork considering: • Settlement character and landscape sensitivity; and • Guidelines on landscape sensitivity to potential development. The analysis of settlements in this study is strategic in scale and does not provide a detailed local landscape and visual assessment for each settlement. SETTLEMENTS IN NORTHUMBERLAND 1.3. The distribution of settlements in Northumberland is historically guided by key factors including topography, defensibility, access to transport/ trade routes and presence of resources. A pattern of settlement can therefore be recognised in Northumberland, with a focus on the following areas: • The coast and coastal plain, where minerals and suitable land for farming were abundant; • The sheltered valleys of the River Tweed, River Till, River Aln, River Coquet, River Wansbeck, River Blyth, River Tyne and their tributaries; and • The foothills of the Cheviot Hills and North Pennines.
