The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

The regulations require persons with custody or control of a crop being made into silage, livestock slurry or certain fuel oil to carry out works and take precautions and other steps for preventing pollution of waters which are controlled waters for the purposes of Part III of the Water Act 1989. The regulations provide exemptions from their requirements and for the loss of those exemptions in certain circumstances. They also confer a right for appeal to the Secretary of State and provide that contravention of certain regulations is a criminal offence. The regulations are no longer new to the field staff of the National Rivers Authority. The aim of following notes and the contents supplied in this document will help field staff to draw a common approach to the use of the regulations across the South West Region. The regulations dictate that any person with custody of livestock slurry should provide a minimum of four months continuous storage unless they can demonstrate that a reduced storage capacity is sufficient without posing a risk to controlled waters.
