Who is National Grid and what do we do? National Grid owns the high-voltage electricity transmission network in Wales and England. We’re responsible for making sure electricity is transported safely and efficiently from where it’s produced to where it’s needed. We’re working to build a cleaner, fairer and more affordable energy system that serves everyone – powering the future of our homes, transport and industry. We believe by acting now the UK can become the world’s first major clean economy, with net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

It enables this by providing electricity when weather conditions mean there is less renewable generation available. What happens next? We’re now preparing for early construction work to begin later this year. We’re finalising our plans and are appointing the contractors who will help us carry out the cable replacement. And we’re continuing to engage with landowners who we’ll need to work with to carry out this project. We’ll also be carrying out our routine maintenance work on the existing underground cables, up until we replace them. Later this year we’ll update you again on our work and what it will involve, but in the meantime, please get in touch if you have any questions about our project. Timeline This latest timeline provides an overview of the project programme. It’s important to know that our work won’t be visible all the time. We’ll work on different sections simultaneously and we’re agreeing a programme and conditions with Gwynedd Council, for example, we won’t be working on the main roads during the summer.

    CYNGOR CEFN GWLAD CYMRU COUNTRYSIDE COUNCIL FOR WALES SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST CITATION GWYNEDD LLYN PADARN Date of Notification: 1992 National Grid Reference: SH573613 OS Maps: 1:50,000 Sheet number: 115 1:25,000 Sheet number: SH56 Site Area: 116.7 ha Description: This site is notified for its biological and geological interest. It is one of only three remaining natural localities in Wales for the Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus L., a glacial relict fish species, and is a classic geological site of national importance. The Welsh populations of charr represent a distinct race S. alpinus perisii and the Padarn population is genetically different from those in Llyn Cwellyn and Llyn Bodlyn. The same race also inhabited the adjacent Llyn Peris before the hydro-electric scheme destroyed its habitat and new breeding sites were established elsewhere. Spawning in Llyn Padarn occurs locally in shallow, marginal waters, notably along Afon y Bala. The geological site, a section of the northern lake shore, is the only locality in the type area of the Cambrian System where the relationship between the Cambrian rocks of the Slate Belt and ancient Precambrian, Arvonian volcanic rocks can be adequately demonstrated. The complex interdigitation of volcanic and sedimentary facies is well displayed, but the interpretation of this site was the subject of bitter controversy in the time of the pioneer geologists. The site is of prime significance not only because it is here that the base of the Cambrian System in its type area is to be found, but also because it is one of Britain’s most historic geological localities.

  • Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Draft Water Resource Management Plan 2013
    Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Draft Water Resource Management Plan 2013 EXECUTIVE REPORT Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Pentwyn Road, Nelson, Treharris Mid Glamorgan CF46 6LY www.dwrcymru.com Dŵr Cymru Cyfyngedig, is a limited company registered in Wales No. 2366777 Page | i Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water dWRMP 2013 Executive Report Preface One of our most important functions is to maintain safe and reliable supplies of drinking water to our customers. We do this by looking ahead to gauge the effects of climate change and the likely future demands of our domestic and business customers alike, whilst balancing these against the water available for supply, even in the driest years. In recognition of how important this is for our customers, we publish a Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) which describes how we will manage and develop our available water resources every 5 years. This document is Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water’s draft Water Resource Management Plan covering the period 2015 to 2040. It describes how we intend to maintain water supplies for all of our 1.3 million domestic and 110,000 business customers in Wales and those adjoining parts of England. We want our customers to receive a safe and reliable service which meets all their expectations, at a price they can afford. It is therefore important to us that our stakeholders and customers are involved in the key decisions affecting how we should achieve that goal. We want your views on whether our Plan reflects the appropriate balance between the financial, social and environmental costs of the options open to us in maintaining water supplies into the future.

  • Know Your River – Seiont, Gwyrfai & Llyfni
    Know Your River – Seiont, Gwyrfai & Llyfni Salmon & Sea Trout Catchment Summary Introduction This report describes the status of the salmon and sea trout populations in the Seiont catchment. Bringing together data from rod catches, stock assessments and juvenile monitoring, it will describe the factors limiting the populations and set out the challenges faced in the catchment. Action tables set out habitat improvements to restore freshwater productivity of salmon and sea trout populations. These tables also include some work which will be carried out by our partner organisations, not just Natural Resources Wales (NRW). NRW has a duty, defined in the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 to have Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (SMNR) at the core of everything that we do. By applying the principles of SMNR in all of our activities - from agriculture, forestry and flood defence to development planning - we are undertaking catchment-wide initiatives that will deliver for fish stock improvements. Our reports highlight the importance of considering the whole catchment when identifying and addressing fisheries issues; and of working with partners. NRW is committed to reporting on the status of salmon stocks in all of our principal salmon rivers for the Salmon Action Plans and condition assessments under the Habitats Directive in SAC rivers; all fish species in all of our rivers are reported for the Water Framework Directive (WFD). This report will fulfil these commitments and provide an informative and useful summary of stock status and remedial work planned, for our customers, specifically anglers, fishery and land owners; as well as our partners. Catchment The Seiont catchment, covering an area of 84.1 km2, drains an extensively slate-mined upland area and lowland brown earth.

GRPS-AFP115 The Planning Inspectorate 3.18 Eagle Wing Temple Quay House 2 The Square Bristol BS1 6PN Dear Sir/Madam, The Planning Inspectorate - Re. Application on 'Snowdonia Pumped Hydro Storage Scheme' at Mynydd Gwefru, Llanberis 8 - 9th. March 2016. Comments from Cymdeithas Pysgotwyr Seiont Gwyrfai a Llyfni. During the examination on Tuesday 8 March 2016. I related the following information verbally to the Inspector. 1. Previous submission During my comments I was surprised that all documents relating to the Quarry Battery application submitted to Gwynedd Council Planning Dept by the society have not been passed on for the Inspectorates attention. I was invited to re-submit however due to the complexity of these submissions the proper and far easier way would be for the council to pass on these documents for your attention. Both myself and other individuals present on the 8th March were surprised that some matters referred to could not be commented upon due to the fact that National Resources Wales's submissions were had not as yet been received. This was disappointing as part of my comments related to the Dissolved Oxygen problems now affecting Padarn. 2. Ownership of rights on Llyn Padarn and rivers Rhythallt and Seiont The society are the freehold owners of 90% of the bank fishing rights and 33% of the surface rights of Llyn Padarn, in addition some 70% of the fishing rights on both rivers and substantial land holdings adjoining the rivers are in club ownership.
