All materials mined are transported by the carefully hidden conveyer (the longest in the UK, installed in 1986), which winds its way like a giant millipede to the plaster plant at Robertsbridge (Figure1). We arrived around 8.45am and were greeted by trip organiser, Alison Ure and manager David Partridge. A very lively, excited and slightly apprehensive group (affectionately dubbed the „A‟ team — Figure 7) met one another and broke the ice by discussing the various exhibits on display in the site office, which consisted of gypsum, anhydrite, Portland Sandstone, underground plans of the mine workings and rules and regulations concerning safety when in the mine. One rule stood out: don‟t get lost! Cue nervous chuckling from the group. The introductory presentation by David Partridge high- lighted the history, production and the excellent safety record and standards adopted at the mine. After answering many questions posed by the group, he handed over to Noel for a detailed presentation involving the history of the mine, analysis of gypsum, production methods, its uses, stratification, structure, and its deposition and formation in the surrounding area of the Mountfield and Brightling anticline. (Figure 2: awaiting the briefing) What surprised many were the numerous uses of gypsum, including less well known sectors such as agricultural, automotive and aviation. The fact too, that it is utilised in the food, brewing, pharmaceutical and medical industries served to further underline the human value of gypsum.

  • This Map Shows the Surficial Geology of Kent County, Delaware, at a Scale of 1:100,000
    Identification_Information: Description: Abstract: This map shows the surficial geology of Kent County, Delaware, at a scale of 1:100,000. Maps at this scale are useful for viewing general geologic framework on a county-wide basis, determining the geology of watersheds, and recognizing the relationship of geology to regional or county-wide environmental or land-use issues. The map was compiled from topographic and geologic maps, aerial photographs, geologists' and drillers' logs, geophysical logs, soils maps, and sample descriptions. Samples from drill holes and outcrops were examined for comparison with previous descriptions. Descriptions of geologic units, unless otherwise referenced, were generated by the author after examination of cores, outcrops, and samples from the Delaware Geological Survey Core and Sample Repository. Purpose: This map, when combined with subsurface geologic information, provides a basis for locating water supplies, mapping ground-water recharge areas, and protecting ground and surface water. Geologic maps are also used to identify geologic hazards such as sinkholes and flood prone areas, to identify sand and gravel resources, and for supporting state, county, and local land-use and planning decisions.

The district contains an exceptionally varied collection of built heritage assets, representing a wide range of periods and architectural styles. The built heritage of the district makes a major contribution to local character and distinctiveness through the varied use of materials and the way that buildings of different dates and types relate to each other as well as to the surrounding landscape and settlement. The district’s built heritage has an important role to play in regeneration proposals, the promotion of sustainable development and for the future economic and social wellbeing of the district. 2 Overview 2.1 Introduction The built heritage assets of the district stand as a varied and visible reminder of the rich history of the district.

This research studied two contrasting physiographic regions, the Low Weald and the Downs in Kent, to identify the extent of these losses. It was hypothesized that changes in the agricultural landscape has been affected by the modification and development of the agricultural system post-World War and that these changes would differ between the two physiographic regions.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy
    Dover District Council Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Revised 2001, 2007, 2014 & 2018 Environmental Health Dover District Council White Cliffs Business Park Dover, Kent, CT16 3PQ Tel: 01304 872282 www.dover.gov.uk [email protected] Executive Summary Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) 1990 came into force in England in April 2000. The main objective is to provide an improved system for the identification and remediation of land where contamination is causing unacceptable risks to human health or the wider environment given the current circumstances and use of the land. Under this legislation Dover District Council (the Council) is required to prepare an inspection strategy setting out how the Authority intends to inspect its area for the purpose of identifying contaminated land. This also links in with the Council’s Corporate Priorities. The strategy was initially produced in 2001, reviewed in 2007 and 2014 and has been revised following the DEFRA’s Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance produced in April 2012. This revised strategy details how the Council intends to implement the contaminated land regime from 2018 onwards. This takes account of the latest guidance and the resources available to the Council. The Council recognise a number of factors potentially impact on how contaminated sites are assessed, i.e. decisions are not made on a purely technical basis. There are also a range of regulatory, commercial, financial, legal and societal factors, affecting how particular contaminated land issues should be addressed. The Council also recognises any judgement made needs to be scientifically robust, proportionate and transparent. This strategy therefore outlines the Council’s priorities in relation to contaminated land.
