  • Yeo Valley Farms (Production) Limited
    Environment Agency permitting decisions Variation We have decided to issue the variation for Lag Farm Dairy operated by Yeo Valley Farms (Production) Limited. The variation number is EPR/NP3532SU/V005. We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Description of the changes introduced by the Variation This is a Substantial Variation. The Lag Farm Dairy processes milk and milk powders to produce yogurt. The installation comprises a milk reception area, liquid ingredient tanks, Cleaning in Place (CIP) tanks, mix tanks, incubation tanks, a production hall, a cold store and despatch area. There is a kerosene fired boiler plant, refrigeration plant and an effluent treatment plant. Current production is 1,600 tonnes per week. The operator wishes to increase production over the coming years to try to capture further market share with a view to increasing profitability. This will be by 300 tonnes per week in February 2016, with further annual increases of 200 tonnes per week to a maximum total of 3,200 tonnes per week. This will be achieved by increased production throughput via existing processes with additional packing machines and incubation tanks. Whilst the operator can demonstrate that their operational techniques are designed to ensure resource, water, energy and waste efficiency, there will be an increase in the total volume of process effluent generated, which will exceed the currently permitted limit of 500 m3/day. The volume of effluent will rise incrementally as production levels increase, to a maximum of 960 m3/day.

  • GEOMORPHOLOGY and HYDROLOGY of the CENTRAL MENDIPS Steady Gradient of About I in 90 to Crook Peak (628 Ft.) and with Only Slightly Less Regularity to 400 Ft
    Geomorphology and Hydrology or the Central Mendips. Proc. Univ. Brist. Spe1. Soc., 1969, 12 (I), 63-74. Jubilee Contribution University ofBristol Spel.eological Society Geomorphologyand Hydrology of the Central Mendips By D. T. DONOVAN, D.Se. Only in the last few years has the Society carried out and published work on cave geomorphology and hydrology. This article attempts to relate this work to the geomorphological problems of the Mendip Hills. These will be reviewed first. The first question which must be settled is the degree to which the relief of the Palreozoic rocks is an exhumed relief dating from Triassic times, revealed by the removal ofMesozoic rocks. Some authors, perhaps in­ spired by Lloyd Morgan (Morgan 1888 p. 250; Morgan & Reynolds 1909, p. 24), have thought Triassic erosion an important factor in determining details ofpresent relief. While the broad reliefofnorth Somerset certainly reflects that of the late Trias, when the Coal Measures vales between the Carboniferous Limestone uplands had already been eroded to their present level or lower, I question whether the relationship holds in any detail. Some of the marginal slopes of Mendip may be little more than old Carboniferous Limestone slopes exhumed by removal of Trias, but along the southern limit of the Mendips the characteristic steep, regular marginal slope is, in fact, largely cut in the Triassic Dolomitic Conglo­ merate which has an exceedingly irregular contact with the Carboniferous Limestone. Similarly, the summit plateau cuts indiscriminately across Carboniferous and Triassic. All the anticlinal cores were exposed by erosion in Triassic times, but except west of Rowberrow, where the Old Red Sandstone core ofthe Blackdown anticline was already eroded down to a low level in the Trias, I conclude, with Ford and Stanton (1969) that the Triassic landscape is unimportant in controlling present relief.
