D5559\SK\DRAFT\May 2005\V3 Nottingham DEFRA i WHITE YOUNG GREEN ENVIRONMENTAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The principal aim of the project was to produce a verifiable methodology for generating accurate and reliable estimates of methane emissions from abandoned mines in the UK, to be considered for inclusion in the UK greenhouse gas inventory. • The prime drivers for methane emission from abandoned mines are displacement by rising mine waters and the rate of emission of methane from the coal seams in the strata disturbed by mining. Rising mine water also serves to isolate methane reserves by cutting them off by flooding. The UK coalfields have been modelled to obtain estimates of water inflow and methane reserves within the coalfields. Measurements have also been made on methane emissions from mines, either from vents or from more general diffuse emissions from the surface. The general methodology has been to seek a relationship between the measured methane flows and parameters relating to the water and gas in the underlying abandoned workings. • Critical information was required for completion of this project. The main source of data on coal mine workings was the Coal Authority Mining Records Database System (MRDS), which provides data, inter alia, on the location, area and seam of all known workings in the UK in an electronic form. Mine water level data was obtained principally from Coal Authority measurements at shafts, boreholes pumping stations and discharge points, but data was also obtained from private coal producers and coal mine methane operators. Seam gas content data were obtained principally from a gas content database, established during the previous three decades using data from exploration boreholes and underground sampling. Geological maps and memoirs of the British Geological Survey (BGS) were used to identify seam sequences (with MRDS data), surface cover and aquifers overlying the mine workings. • Water level data from open shafts and boreholes indicates that water recovery after mine abandonment follows a predictable exponential curve similar to the recovery in any aquifer following pumping. This allows the future inflow rate of water into a mine to be calculated for use in the controlled pumping of mine water or to estimate the potential surface discharge rate. In this project, the data have been used to model the flooding of mines and the effect of cutting off methane from abandoned mine workings. To allow a detailed assessment of mine water recovery, and hence methane emissions over time, some coalfields required sub- division. A total of 34 coalfield areas were assessed divided into 142 areas for calculation. • Mine water recovery has only been monitored in a few coalfields in the UK. To determine the impact of mine water recovery on total UK methane emissions between 1990 and 2004, an assessment of mine water levels in all abandoned UK coal mines was essential. Data from the MRDS were used to identify the residual mine volumes for each modelled area as a function of depth; usually divided into volumes within 10m intervals. Water can enter mines via mine entries from aquifers and the surface, although strata water enters a mine laterally through the strata by permeable flow, the rate of water flow decreasing as the water level rises. The rate of water inflow into the mine was modelled using a permeability function that decreases the inflow of the workings into the mine depending on the volume of the workings that remain unflooded. • Results of the mine water recovery modelling fall in to four broad categories: Category 1. Areas where mine water has fully recovered, but workings remain above the recovered water level (82 areas). Category 2. Areas where mine water has fully recovered, with no mine workings above the water level (13 areas) Category 3. Areas where mine water is continuing to recover (31 areas) Category 4. Areas where mine water recovery is controlled by pumping (16 areas) Category three and four type recoveries contain the majority of mines closed in the 1990’s. D5559\SK\DRAFT\May 2005\V3 Nottingham DEFRA ii WHITE YOUNG GREEN ENVIRONMENTAL • Methane from abandoned mines originates in the coal seams within the strata disturbed by the mining process. In the UK coal seams generally contain methane produced during coalification, at values from close to zero to 20m3/tonne. During mining the seams release gas into the workings, and continue to do so for many years albeit at a much lower rate. Methane from abandoned mines escapes to atmosphere either through installed vents, designed to prevent the build up of pressure, or in a diffuse manner through old mine entries, broken strata, faults etc. • Vents at 16 locations around England were monitored from November 2002 to December 2004. The sites were chosen to provide a cross section of the types of abandoned mines found in the UK. Sites were sampled with workings at shallow, intermediate and deep levels and those where water levels had recovered and those where water was still rising. Methane flows ranged from zero to 153 litres per second (l/s), with over half the sites having flows less than 20 l/s. • Levels of diffuse emissions were made using long term gas samplers taking atmospheric samples over a period of a month. The sampling and measurement using very accurate tunable diode lasers was carried out by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) Edinburgh. As with the vent monitoring, sites were chosen to reflect a range of underlying mine conditions, although sites were chosen not to be close to gas vents. • Average measured enhancements lay between zero and almost 2,000ppb (parts per billion) above the national background of 2,017ppb. However, at sites where no other potential source of gas was present the maximum enhancement was about 1,300ppb. At these sites methane emissions were estimated at up to 360 tonnes methane per year. By using estimates of the surface area from which the emission might derive, flux estimates were calculated of up to 69 tonnes methane per square kilometre per year (t km-2y-1), with a mean of 10.5 t km-2y-1 and a standard deviation of 22 t km-2y-1. Multiplying the average flux value by the area of shallow workings provides an estimate of 37 kilotonne per year (kt y-1) for the emission from shallow workings. However, the large standard deviation of the flux, suggests this value should be treated with caution. • Methane reserve modelling was used to determine the potential source size of methane in abandoned workings. For major coalfields and those where detailed information was available, a full method of calculation was used. This method calculates a degassing area around workings, calculates the total gas in place before mining and subtracts an estimate of the methane released during mining. Only unflooded seams are assumed to contribute towards flow, so combination of the gas reserve model and water level data from the water model enables calculation of a methane reserve against time. For minor coalfields (representing, in total, less than 10% of the total UK gas reserve) the relationship between gas reserves and water level, established for the major coalfields, was used to provide an estimate of gas reserve using known or estimated water levels. • The estimate of reserves in 1990 is 10.0 billion m3 methane. Due to the pattern of colliery closure during the early 1990’s the estimate of reserves associated with closed mines first rose to 19.5 billion m3 methane in 1993 then fell, due to mine flooding, to 8.6 billion m3 methane in 2004. • No suitable relationship was found between vent methane flow data and the water flow in the underlying abandoned workings. However, vent methane flow data did show an increase with the size of the underlying methane reserve in the abandoned workings. Flux data from the diffuse monitoring was converted into flows by multiplying by the area of underlying workings.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

  • Citywide Climate Change Strategy & Action Plan 2010
    Citywide Climate Change Strategy & Action Plan 2010 - 2020 Delivering Newcastle’s Sustainable Community Strategy Foreword We realise the need for a citywide climate change strategy, one that provides a comprehensive response to the threats and opportunities that we face. We also recognise the urgent need to secure a low carbon future and prepare for a changing climate. I’m proud to say the strategy goes much further than before. It raises our ambitions and sets out how we plan to deliver against national and European commitments. At the heart of the strategy is our Sustainable Energy Action Plan that sets out a scenario to reduce our carbon emissions, and makes us confident enough to commit to our Newcastle Climate Change Declaration, adopted by the full Council in March 2010. The strategy also contains plans to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. These will help us to seize the opportunities that a low carbon future presents, and to protect our heritage and citizens into a sustainable future. We all have a part to play, from our day-to-day actions and efforts to live in a low carbon future, to the development, delivery and uptake of physical measures to minimise our impact on the environment. This presents significant economic opportunities for our City. However, we cannot do this without understanding and preparing to live with the inevitable risks of a changing climate. Although the strategy lays the foundations for these actions, achieving our goals will not be easy. In this time of austerity we need to be bold in our choices and strong in our convictions, so that we make the decisions necessary for the future.

  • Historical Development and Problems Within the Pennsylvanian Nomenclature of Ohio.1
    Historical Development and Problems Within the Pennsylvanian Nomenclature of Ohio.1 GLENN E. LARSEN, OHIO Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological Survey, Fountain Sq., Bldg. B, Columbus, OH 43224 ABSTRACT. An analysis of the historical development of the Pennsylvanian stratigraphic nomenclature, as used in Ohio, has helped define and clarify problems inherent in Ohio's stratigraphic nomenclature. Resolution of such problems facilitates further development of a useful stratigraphy and philosophy for mapping. Investigations of Pennsylvanian-age rocks in Ohio began as early as 1819- From 1858 to 1893, investigations by Newberry, I. C. White, and Orton established the stratigraphic framework upon which the present-day nomenclature is based. During the 1950s, the cyclothem concept was used to classify and correlate Pennsylvanian lithologic units. This classification led to a proliferation of stratigraphic terms, as almost every lithologic type was named and designated as a member of a cyclothem. By the early 1960s, cyclothems were considered invalid as a lithostratigraphic classification. Currently, Pennsylvanian nomenclature of Ohio, as used by the Ohio Division of Geological Survey, consists of four groups containing 123 named beds, with no formal formations or members. In accordance with the 1983 North American Stratigraphic code, the Ohio Division of Geological Survey considers all nomenclature below group rank as informal. OHIO J.

We have incorporated, where possible, original observations of numerous taxa spread throughout the major tetrapod clades. A stem-based (total-group) definition of Tetrapoda is preferred over apomorphy- and node-based (crown-group) definitions. This definition is operational, since it is based on a formal character analysis. A PAUP* search using a recently implemented version of the parsimony ratchet method yields 64 shortest trees. Differ- ences between these trees concern: (1) the internal relationships of aı¨stopods, the three selected species of which form a trichotomy; (2) the internal relationships of embolomeres, with Archeria

The Council took on an obligation to provide similar facilities were they to relocate, which they did, to Clowne. Bolsover District Council has already paid Derbyshire Police a sum to relocate from their council offices to temporary accommodation and to then move into a more permanent solution at Oxcroft House. This coincided with the force’s strategic policing review so the Chief Constable and Commissioner decided that it would be inappropriate to commit to a further long lease of Oxcroft House as it may not meet the new needs of the force going forward. Considerable costs had already been incurred by Bolsover District Council in developing this scheme. Bolsover District Council have demonstrated that they have incurred costs to date (supported by documentary evidence); the Constabulary are still holding removal monies for which there is no justification. Decision Resolved that the Commissioner agrees to pay compensation to Bolsover District Council as set out within their claim and as detailed in the confidential report.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
