APPENDIX 1

Geology and Mineral Resources

South extends from the in the East to the to the west. Geologically the area is very varied, having representations of nearly every Geological System exposed at the surface, the exceptions being the Ordovician and Cretaceous. Generally the older Palaeozoic rocks are exposed in the centre of , with younger Mesozoic rocks to the east and north- east. More recent estuarine alluvial deposits cover the Lowlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary in the west.

In landscape terms much of South Gloucestershire is anomalous in that the outcrops of older and harder Palaeozoic rocks do not form uplands but are characterised by low undulating terrain. This is because much of the area formed part of an ancient erosion surface which was reduced to a low relief before the deposition of the Mesozoic strata. It is therefore the younger rocks, most notably limestones of Jurassic age, which form the highest land of South Gloucestershire, that being the Cotswold escarpment to the east.

The alluvial flatlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary are extensive and form a distinctly contrasting landscape to that of the central and eastern parts of South Gloucestershire. Flat pastures predominate, bounded by drainage ditches, known locally as ‘rhines’. Rarely does the land in this area rise above 6 metres AOD.

Nearly all the rivers west of the Cotswold scarp flow into the Severn Estuary, whereas those which follow the dip slope to the east, other than the which detours to the west, join the .

The rock types of South Gloucestershire within each Geological System are set out below in chronological order, together with the quarrying operations they give rise to:

Cambrian The oldest rocks of South Gloucestershire are represented by the Tremadoc series which are found in an inlier which extends north of . These rocks are unworked and consist mostly of grey micaceous shales with interbeds of siltstone and very fine grained sandstones.

Ordovician Missing.

Silurian Mudstones, sandstones and some limestones of Silurian age are found in a number of small inliers in the Tortworth and areas. These small exposures are unworked.

Devonian Continental red beds of the Old Red Sandstone occur in the Thornbury inlier and around the Syncline. Small quantities of sandstone have been worked in the past from the Upper Red Sandstone.

Carboniferous

Lower Consists predominantly of Carboniferous Limestones Carboniferous which form the most extensive outcrop of all the Palaeozoic rocks of South Gloucestershire. They outcrop on the northern rims of the Bristol Coalfield, north to Tortworth then south to , and in isolated inliers at Wick and Codrington. The Carboniferous Limestone is nowadays by far the most important mineral resource in South Gloucestershire, being utilised for roadstone and construction aggregate. Active quarries are located at Tytherington, Chipping Sodbury, and Wick. There is also a temporarily inactive site near .

Upper Formed in deltaic and swamp conditions these rocks can Carboniferous be split into two groups: (i) Quartzitic Sandstone – which outcrops on the northern and north-east rim of the Bristol Coalfield between Chipping Sodbury and Cromhall, and in the Wick inlier. Small quantities of sandstone are

- 90 -

extracted from the Cromhall Quartzite Quay at Cromhall. These rocks have skid resistant properties and are used as a top dressing in road surfacing; (ii) Coal Measures – which include the coal seams and the commonly occurring Pennant Sandstone are found south of Cromhall through Coalpit Heath to Kingswood in the Coalpit Heath Syncline and Kingswood Anticline.

For over a hundred years coal was the most important extractive industry of South Gloucestershire. Centred on Kingswood, the Coalfield spread through South Bristol and north through Coalpit Heath to . Coal mining reached its peak in Kingswood between 1870-1890. From the late 1950s the industry steadily declined due to the exhaustion of workable reserves and difficult geological conditions. The last working mine to close in South Gloucestershire was at .

Historically, there has been some small extraction of iron from Haematite lodes in fissured Pennant Sandstones around and . At Wick, iron oxides known as ‘oxide’ or ‘ochre’ were worked from pockets in the Carboniferous Limestone.

The Pennant Sandstone itself has been used locally for building stone and dry stone walling but, nowadays, its uses are limited and it is no longer extracted in South Gloucestershire.

Coal Measure Clays are extracted for engineering bricks and pipes at and a similar clay pit is seasonally exploited at Shortwood.

Permo- The Triassic rocks are mostly sandstones, mudstones and Triassic conglomerates which occur as thick sequences of terrestrial red beds which lie unconformably on deeply folded Permian rocks. The Triassic rocks are well seen in the classic exposures of Cliff which is situated at the eastern end of the old Severn Bridge, and are widely exposed throughout the central area of South Gloucestershire. The mineral Celestite (Strontium Sulphate) is commonly found in the Triassic Keuper Marls of the area. For over 100 years this mineral was extracted from shallow pits situated mostly to the west of Yate. Although production ceased recently, the area was at one time the world’s leading producer of Celestite.

- 91 -

The Permo-Triassic rocks have only been locally used on a minor scale for building stone, or as bulk fill, such as on the Second Severn Crossing approach roads.

Jurassic This period heralded a return to marine conditions. The early Jurassic rocks occur as a wide north/north-east trending belt in the east, forming predominantly low lying areas of heavy clay with some limestones and various mudstones, silts and sandstones. Later deposition formed the Inferior Oolite Group, thick sequences of shallow water marine limestones, which make up the bulk of the Cotswold escarpment in the east.

The Blue Lias Limestone has been locally exploited on a small scale for building stone or hardcore. Similarly the Oolite Limestones can be seen in buildings and dry stone walls in the Cotswolds.

Cretaceous Missing.

Quaternary These beds consist of various unconsolidated sediments comprising alluvium, glacial deposits and head deposits. These are found predominantly in the west adjacent to the Severn Estuary. Until recently, estuarine alluvial clays were exploited for brick making at Crooks Marsh, Severnside.

APPENDIX 2

Special Sites

Water-Pollution Cases

Regulations 2(1)(a) and 3 ensure that the Environment Agency becomes the enforcing authority in three types of case where the contaminated land is affecting controlled waters and their quality, and where the Environment Agency will also have other concerns under other legislation. These cases are set out in regulation 3, and are broadly as follows:

(a) Wholesomeness of drinking water: Regulation 3(a) covers cases where contaminated land affects controlled waters used, or intended to be used, for the supply of drinking water. To meet the description, the waters must be affected by the land in such a way that a treatment process or a change in treatment process is needed in order for such water to satisfy wholesomeness requirements. The standards of wholesomeness are currently set out in the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1147 as amended by S.I. 1989/1384, S.I. 1991/1837 and S.I. 1999/1524), and the Private Water Supplies Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2790). An intention to use water for the supply of drinking water would be demonstrated by the existence of a water abstraction licence for that purpose, or an application for such a licence.

(b) Surface-water classification criteria; Regulation 3(b) covers cases where controlled waters are being affected so that those waters do not meet or are not likely to meet relevant surface water criteria. These are currently set out in four sets of Surface Waters (Dangerous Substances) (Classification) Regulations: S.I. 1989/2286, S.I. 1992/337, S.I. 1997/2560 and S.I. 1998/389).

(c) Major aquifers: Regulation 3(c) covers cases where particularly difficult pollutants are affecting major aquifers. The Environment Agency will already be concerned both with pollutants of this type and with managing water resources. The list of pollutants is set out in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1. It corresponds to List I of the Groundwater Directive (80/86/EEC). The major aquifers are described in paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 by reference to the underground strata in which they are contained. The British Geological Survey publishes maps which show the location and boundaries of such strata.

For the purposes of regulation 3(c), the fact that contaminated land may be located over one of the listed underground strata does not by itself make the land a special site. The land must be contaminated land on the basis that it is causing, or is likely to cause, pollution of controlled waters; the pollution must be by reason of one or more substances from schedule 1; and the waters being or likely to be polluted must be contained within the strata.

- 94 -

Industrial Cases

The subsequent items in regulation 2(1) ensure that the Environment Agency is the enforcing agency in respect of contaminated land which is, or has been, used as a site for industrial activities that either pose special remediation problems or are subject to regulation under other national systems, either by the Environment Agency itself, or by some other national agency. The designation of such sites as special sites is intended to deploy the necessary expertise and to help co-ordination between the various regulatory systems. The descriptions are in respect of:

(a) Waste acid tar lagoons (regulation 2(1)(b)): Regulation 2(2) defines what falls into this description. The retention basins (or lagoons) concerned typically involve cases where waste acid tar arose from the use of concentrated sulphuric acid in the production of lubricating oils and greases or the reclamation of base lubricants from mineral oil residues. The description is not intended to include cases where the tars resulted from coal product manufacture, or where these tars were placed in pits or wells.

(b) Oil refining (regulation 2(1)(c)(i)): The problems resulting from this are again considered more appropriate for the expertise of the Environment Agency. As for waste acid tar lagoons, activities related to coal are not included.

(c) Explosives (regulation 2(1)(c)(ii)): The relatively few sites in this category pose specific problems, which are more appropriately handled by the Environment Agency.

(d) IPC (Integrated Pollution Control sites (regulation 2(1)(d): Sites which are regulated under Part 1 of the 1990 Act and which have become contaminated will generally be regulated under those powers. But there may be situations where Part IIA powers will be needed. This item ensures that the Environment Agency will be the enforcing authority under Part IIA where it is already the regulatory authority under Part I. The description therefore refers to a “prescribed process designated for central control”. In , this means a Part A process. This description covers:-

(i) land on which past activities were authorised under “central control” but which have ceased;

(ii) land where the activities are continuing but the contamination arises from a non-“central control” process on the land; and

(iii) land where the contamination arises from an authorised “central control” process but a remediation notice could nevertheless be served. (Section 78YB(1) precludes the service of a remediation notice in cases where it appears to the authority that the powers in section 27 of the 1990 Act may be exercised.)

This description does not cover land where the Part 1 authorisation is obtained in order to carry out remediation required under Part IIA. It also does not cover land which has been contaminated by an activity which ceased before

- 95 -

the application of “central controls”, but would have been subject to those controls if it had continued after they came into force. (Legislation to implement the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive (96/61/EC) may lead to an additional special site description being prescribed in the future concerning activities authorised under the proposed Pollution Prevention and Control regime.)

(e) Nuclear sites (regulation 2(1)(e)): Regulation 2(4) defines what is to be treated as a nuclear site for this purpose. The designation of a nuclear site as contaminated land under these regulations will have effect only in relation to non-radioactive contamination. Any harm, or pollution of controlled waters, attributable to radioactivity will be dealt with under a separate regime to be introduced by regulations to be made under section 78YC. Consultation is under way on the form that this separate regime should take.

Defence Cases

Regulation 2(1)(f), (h) and (i) ensures that the Environment Agency deals with most cases where contaminated land involves the Ministry of Defence (MOD) estate. Broadly speaking, the descriptions include any contaminated land at current military, naval and airforce bases and other properties, including those of visiting forces; the Atomic Weapons Establishment; and certain lands at Greenwich Hospital (section 30 of the Armed Forces Act 1996). However, off-base housing or off-base NAAFI premises are not included, and or is property which has been disposed of to civil ownership or occupation. Training areas and ranges that MOD does not own or occupy but may use occasionally do not fall within the descriptions. Regulation 2(1)(g) describes land formerly used for the manufacture, production or disposal of chemical and biological weapons and related materials, regardless of current ownership. In all these cases, the Environment Agency is best placed to ensure uniformity across the country and liaison with the Ministry of Defence and the armed forces.

Nature Conservation considerations

The following requirements are outlined in DETR Circular 02/2000 and will be recognised by South Gloucestershire Council: {The bracketed notes refer to the Circular 02/200}

i) The LA will have regard to the advice of English Nature in the determination of "ecological system effects" {Table A, Chapter A, B 42}

ii) The LA will consult English Nature in the development of its strategic approach to inspection {B11} & over any proposed intrusive inspection of SSSIs {B24} or Natura 2000 sites;

iii) The LA will, in carrying out intrusive investigation, take all reasonable precautions to avoid harm, water pollution or damage to natural resources or features of historical or archaeological interest which might be caused as a result of its investigation {B24};

iv) For the purposes of assessing the reasonableness of any remediation , and where the significant harm considered is "an ecological system effect", the LA will take into account any advice received from English Nature {C40};

v) Best practicable techniques for remediation should be implemented in accordance with best practice, including any precautions necessary to prevent damage to the environment and any other appropriate quality assurance procedures {C25};

vi) ‘Damage to the environment’ includes risks to water, air, soil and plants and animal and adverse affects on the countryside or places of special interest {C54};

vii) The enforcing authority should take adverse environmental impacts into account when assessing the practicability of any remediation {C49 d (iv)}. The possibility of adverse environmental impacts may affect the determination of which remediation package represents the best practicable techniques for remediation {C51}. The enforcing authority may consider whether the balance of advantage may lie with adopting an alternative approach to remediation, even though such an alternative may not fully achieve the objectives for remediation. Alternatively, the risk may be sufficiently reduced through special conditions attached to the description of what is to be done by way of remediation {C55}. The best practicable

- 122 -

technique for remediation need not fully remedy the effect, but mitigation may be obtained instead {C24}.

Nature Conservation Legislation and Statutory Guidance relevant to activities carried out under EPA Part IIA

• The Conservation (Natural Habitats &etc.) Regulations 1994 (Hab Regs 1994) relating to the conservation of Natura 2000 sites and species. In particular, inspection and/or remediation within a Natura 2000 site or environs may be a 'plan or project', and may therefore require an Appropriate Assessment;

• The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as amended by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, regarding the furthering of the conservation of protected species and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), and the requirement for consent/assent before any Potentially Damaging Operation (as defined in the SSSI citation) may take place;

• Planning Policy Guidance 9 on Nature Conservation;

• The spirit of the Local Government Act 2000 and the Rural White Paper, each of which encourage Local Authorities to have regard to the conservation of Biodiversity;

• Agenda 21 and community strategies, which include the conservation of Biodiversity.
