(WEL) was commissioned by Larry Edmunds to develop an initial Conceptual Site Model (CSM) to describe the hydrogeological conditions at Stowey Quarry, Bishop Sutton, near Bristol. 1.1.2 The site is a former limestone quarry and the subject of a planning application to Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) Council (ref.10/05199/MINW) to be redeveloped as a landfill for the disposal of Stable Non-Reactive Hazardous Waste (SNRHW), primarily comprising cement-bonded asbestos, and inert waste. 1.1.3 The concerns raised by Bristol Water in its consultation response to BANES dated 9th March 2011 are outlined as follows (paraphrased): The proximity of the site to Chew Valley Reservoir, some 2 km northwest of the site, which is used as a drinking water supply and is also a Special Protection Area (SPA) and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The potential for contamination of springs and streams in the vicinity of the site that drain into the reservoir. Uncertainty over the groundwater regime (flow mechanism and direction) at the site. Uncertainty over landfill engineering, surface water control and pre-disposal waste treatment (sorting). 1.1.4 The purpose of this report is to address the above issues and qualitatively assess the potential risk posed by the proposed landfill to the surrounding water environment. A quantitative assessment of potential risk posed by the landfill to the local water environment will be undertaken as part of the subsequent application to the EA for an Environmental Permit. 1.2 Scope of report 1.2.1 The CSM contained in this report includes the following information: a) Collation of existing information relating to the landfill’s environmental setting, including topography, geology and water environment (surface water and groundwater). b) Development of an outline hydrogeological conceptual site model (CSM) to describe viable source-pathway-receptor linkages at the site. c) Presentation of the CSM, conclusions of the risk assessment and recommendations for future management of the site. 1.3 Information sources 1.3.1 The following information was used in the preparation of this report: C:\Users\Rob\Documents\CLIENTS\Oaktree Environmental\Stowey Quarry\Report\Stowey Quarry CSM FINAL (20-04-11).docx 1 Watermill Environment Limited Conceptual Site Model Report for Stowey Quarry i) M.

To the north of the site, ground drops away into a gully beneath and east of Broad Wood before rising again to some 145 mOD some 400 m from the site. 2.2.5 Ground level declines northwestwards from 155 mOD to below 100 mOD within around 300 m of the site (an approximate gradient of 1:5). Further northwest, ground level continues to decline to around 55 mOD at Chew Valley Lake. 2.3 Water features 2.3.1 Surface water features in the vicinity of the site are shown in Figure 2. 2.3.2 A spring rises some 50 m west of the site at an elevation of some 150 mOD, giving rise to a stream called Barelegs Brake. 2.3.3 A spring rises on Sutton Hill some 80 m southeast of the site at some 162 mOD and flows northwestwards and then northeastwards along Stowey Road towards the eastern corner of the site. It is considered likely that this is the on-site ‘spring’ noted by Carter Associates in 1998. 2.3.4 Other springs occur north and northwest of the site at distances of 500-650 m and elevations of 110-140 mOD. 2.3.5 It is noted that there is no apparent spring line within the gully north of the site. Springs do exist at around 120 mOD some 900 m northeast of the site which may be supported by groundwater within Lias strata (although outside of the immediate catchment area of the site), one of which supports the Cinderlands Brake. 2.3.6 The Barelegs Brake flows generally northwards and is met by streams from the other springs until, some 1.5 km north of the site, it heads west for another 1 km to its entry into Chew C:\Users\Rob\Documents\CLIENTS\Oaktree Environmental\Stowey Quarry\Report\Stowey Quarry CSM FINAL (20-04-11).docx 3 Watermill Environment Limited Conceptual Site Model Report for Stowey Quarry Valley Lake some 2 km northwest of the site. 2.3.7 The northern part of the site contains waterlogged areas as shown in ESP Figure 3 (see Appendix A).
