    ■ t S r t -I | s f 6 t T v A U&\ P s . Z - environment agency plan SWALE, URE AND OUSE ACTION PLAN JULY 1998 _____ En v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The area contained within the Swale, Ure and Ouse Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) is a geographically diverse area including the protected uplands of two National Parks, rural countryside, the Port of Selby and the historical city of York. The Environment Agency is one of many organisations which protect the fragile and important Swale, Ure and Ouse area. This Action Plan outlines the strategy for activity that the Agency intends to undertake in partnership with others in the Swale, Ure and Ouse area during the next five years. Within this plan, a number of actions have been accepted by the Agency and other organisations. Key Actions for the Swale, Ure and Ouse Area: • prevent pollution from rural activities; • reduce the impact of discharges, in particular to the River Ouse; • protect the natural beauty and conserve the native flora and fauna; • limit the impact on the environment of mining in the Selby area; • protect the groundwater resources and minimise the impact of recent and future droughts; • reduce the environmental impact from industrial sites by improved operational practice; • protect people and property from flooding where economically and environmentally feasible. The Environment Agency must work in partnership with,others to carry out certain environmental improvements. There are significant opportunities to further improve effluent disposal, to minimise pollution from rural land uses and the impact of mining on the environment and to promote best practice to better protect the environment.

However, the applicant recognises that any producer in the defined area has the right to produce the product in accordance with the specifications and the obligations imposed by the regulatory framework. 3. Type of product: Cheese – class 1.3 4. Specification (summary of requirements under Art.4 (2)) 4.1 Name: Yorkshire Wensleydale 4.2 Description: Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese is a pressed cheese made from cow‘s milk. It can be made with either fresh, raw or, pasteurised milk. 1 The cheese is a creamy-white colour with an open crumbly, textured appearance. The outside of the cheese is more yellow, this inconsistency is the hallmark of a truly handmade product (particularly in the cloth-bound cheeses), and which is not found in mass-produced versions of Wensleydale cheese. Its firm crumbly, texture, is a result of a combination of the starter cultures, manual processes and the milk used. The cheese has a crumblier and less dense, solid texture than other similar products.
