The Flood Risk Challenge in Leeds Update on Flood Risk Management Richard Davies, Head of Risk and Emergency Planning David Sellers, Principal Land Drainage Engineer Outer East Area Committee 10 February 2009 Overview ● The Flood Risk Challenge in Leeds ● The Council’s approach to FRM: building blocks and achievements ● Recommendations of the Pitt Review ● How should we respond to the Pitt Review ? ● Sources of flood risk in Outer East Area ● Examples of known problem locations ● Maintenance locations ● Role for Area Committees ? The Flood Risk Challenge in Leeds ● Experts advise frequency and intensity of rainfall increasing in UK and we should expect more extreme events regularly ● In Leeds, flood risk will continue to derive from ‘main rivers’, but more frequently from becks, sewers, highway gullies as these prove unable to cope with volumes of water ● To address this risk, we need to be clear about our and others’ responsibilities, work closer with partners and invest properly in the infrastructure and services maintaining this ● NOT just about emergency response but long-term flood risk management and sustainable approaches to natural and built environments Council’s FRM Building Blocks ● Director of City Development made ‘champion’ for FRM ● Exec Board approved Policy on ‘Maintaining Water Resources and Responding to Flood Incidents’ clarifying legal responsibilities, roles of services and what gaps to plug ● WAMWG set-up in April 2005 to improve LCC’s maintenance of ‘water assets’ (becks, culverts, gullies) and response to floods. ● WAMWG membership: Risk & EP, Land Drainage, Bridges, Env’l Health, Highways, Streetscene, Recreation, Asset Mgmt, Dev’t Control, Strategic Planning, Sustainable Dev’t, Enforcement ● Detailed Action Plan in place and c. 50 key actions reviewed quarterly ● Additional £1.2m p.a. allocated to relevant services to survey and assess assets as well as enhance service provision Achievements since 2005 ● Major progress on identifying, logging and assessing of LCC drainage infrastructure: becks, culverts, drains, gullies, lakes ● Enhanced preventative/reactive maintenance of key assets and hotspots via term contracts and enhanced gully tanker fleet ● Increased Land Drainage resources to provide technical advice and undertake key works ● New prevention measures at key locations: land drains, grids ● Enhanced bilateral technical cooperation with YWS and EA ● Addressed flytipping and trolley dumping issues ● Created a West Yorks Flooding CONOPS for clarity of response ● Worked with call centre to provide clearer advice to the public ● Improved liaison between responding LCC services Pitt Review into 2007 Floods 92 recos to overhaul of FRM nationally/locally: New Act to clarify responsibility for all flood sources. LAs to lead on local FRM with support of partners. LAs to tackle local flooding problems with partners. LAs to collate/map main FRM & drainage assets, including ownership and condition. LAs to develop SWMPs to manage of local flood risk. LAs to enhance technical capabilities to deliver FRM. LAs to lead multi-agency planning & trigger responses for severe weather emergencies. LA contact centres to deal with enquiries from public during and after major flooding. Scrutiny Committees to review local FRM work and prepare annual report. Responding to Pitt Review ● Government accepted all Pitt reco’s, asking LAs to take on leadership role pre-legislation but with little additional funding ● Action Plan revised to include additional reco’s and services assessing capabilities (staff, budgets, software, plans, call-handling etc) to comply ● Key gaps are: senior co-ordination role; technical staff; lack of capital budget; cut in revenue budget; member engagement; contact centre. ● Services to complete surveys and assessment of LCC assets to clarify risks, maintenance and capital investment needs ● Develop partnership work on strategic planning (SWMP, investment, data-sharing), issue resolution, new developments, maintenance regimes ● Start development of Surface Water Management Plan using £50K DEFRA pilot funding for Wyke Beck catchment ● Collaborate with EA to fund and implement further area-specific flood defence/resilience schemes, e.g. River Aire, Wortley, West Garforth etc Sources of Flood Risk in Outer East Area This derives from multiple sources, often interacting with one another: ● ‘Main rivers’: River Aire (Allerton Bywater, Methley, Woodlesford), Wyke Beck (Dunhill Estate), Cock Beck (Stanks), unnamed culverts (West Garforth) ● ‘Ordinary’ watercourses: Kippax Beck (Ramsden Street, Kippax), unnamed culverted watercourses (West Garforth, Whitkirk Lane (Aug 2004) Swillington Lane) ● YWS public sewers: Whitkirk Lane, Valley Road (Kippax) ● Private sewers and drains ● Highway gullies and drains: Allerton Bywater ● Surface water run-off (Chantry Garth) Known Flood Risk Locations Dunhill estate (flooded in Aug 2004, May 2005 and Jun 2007) Wyke Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme (EA) - £500K (local levy) - issues Wyke Beck catchment Surface Water Management Plan pilot DEFRA grant of £50K EA local levy grant of ~£20-30K Leeds CC Yorkshire Water Environment Agency partnership EASEL Drainage Masterplan area shown in green West Garforth flooding: above: Barley Hill Rd (Jun 2007) right: Springmead Dr (Aug 2002) WEST GARFORTH Several improvements carried out since IUD pilot project – including culvert cleansing and CCTV, new culvert at Barley Hill Road (pictured), ew highway drainage at Ninelands Lane.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

  • Upper Aire Flood Risk Management Strategy Summary Consultation Document May 2009 \
    Environment Agency tackling flood risk where you live Upper Aire Flood Risk Management Strategy Summary Consultation Document May 2009 \ We are the Environment Agency. It’s our job to look after your environment and make it a better place – for you, and for future generations. We build and maintain the majority of flood defences in low- lying areas of England and Wales to reduce the risk to homes and businesses. We are also responsible for warning the public about flooding from rivers and the sea in England and Wales and raising awareness of flood risk. Published by: Helen Tattersdale National Capital Programme Management Service Environment Agency Phoenix House Global Avenue Leeds LS11 8PG Tel: 0113 2134682 Email: [email protected] www.environment-agency.gov.uk © Environment Agency All rights reserved. This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Climate change means that we are going to get wetter winters, frequent stormy weather conditions and rising sea levels. We cannot afford to ignore the threat of flooding. We all have a role to play in dealing with the causes and effects of climate change. We consider climate change in everything we do and have a major role in limiting its impact by addressing its causes and adapting to change. As part of this role we look at the causes of flooding and decide if anything can be done to reduce the risk to people and property. But it’s not just about building walls and embankments along rivers to hold back the water in times of heavy rain.

Introduction In August 2004 and May 2005 several areas of Leeds experienced significant flooding due to unusually intense rainfall and the inability of the drainage infrastructure to cope with the increased volumes of water. The incidents highlighted several areas for improvement in terms of the resources available to maintain our assets and respond to floods. Flooding at Barley Hill Road, West Garforth, in June 2007 In response to the first of these events, the Council set-up a cross-departmental working group - the Water Asset Management Working Group (WAMWG) - of senior officers from services with water or flood risk responsibilities to develop recommendations for improving our management of flood risk. The group developed a 33-point Action Plan which was approved by senior elected members and senior officers in July 2005 and led to an additional £1.1m of revenue funding being provided to implement the Action Plan’s recommendations. Although this work is on-going, the services represented on WAMWG have made consistently good progress in implementing the recommendations towards making the city more resilient to flood risk management.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Study Area 1.2 Flood Investigation Study Overview
    1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Study Area Wyke Beck is a left bank tributary of the River Aire situated in the east of Leeds, from its source in Roundhay Park it runs in a generally southerly direction to its confluence with the River Aire, as shown on Figure 1.1. The beck is approximately 9km long from Waterloo Lake to its confluence with the River Aire (10.5km long including the tributaries which feed into the Waterloo and Upper Lakes) and has a catchment area of approximately 28km2. The majority of the catchment is heavily urbanised, with some open areas of parks, playing fields and a small amount of rural fields. Properties were flooded by the Wyke Beck in August 2004, May 2005 and June 2007, and there was also a ‘near miss’ event in January 2008. However there is not an extensive history of property flooding from the beck. The majority of the properties which flooded in these recent events are located in the Dunhill Estate. The frequency and extent of these flood events has led the Environment Agency to look into developing a flood scheme for the Wyke Beck. 1.2 Flood Investigation Study Overview and Objectives This Flood Investigation Study follows on from the Stage 1 Study carried out by Royal Haskoning in January 2008. The Stage 1 Study highlighted the need for a thorough review of the existing hydraulic model and an understanding of the causes of the flooding from the Wyke Beck before any options could be investigated further. This study focuses on reviewing the hydraulic model and updating it so that it accurately represents the flooding which was observed during the three recent flood events.
