SEPA South St Lochgelly Noise Report.Pdf Chemistry Department Report Indoor Assessment of Environmental Noise at South Street, Lochgelly From 15th August to 5th September 2014 CHEM/2014/078 16/10/2014 Name Position Signature Date Author John Millar Field Scientist 05/11/2014 Reviewer Senior and Ian Wager Specialist 05/11/2014 Authoriser Scientist (Air) INTRODUCTION Concerns have been raised by a resident at South Street, Lochgelly regarding suspected environmental noise from the Mossmorran Complex which consists of ExxonMobil Fife Ethylene Plant (FEP) and Shell Fife Natural Gas Liquids (FNGL), Cowdenbeath. In response to these concerns SEPA South Field Chemistry completed an assessment of the indoor noise. A domestic noise monitoring system (Bruel and Kjaer Matron) was deployed to monitor indoor noise over a 21 day period (15/08/2014 to 05/09/2014). Both FEP and FNGL, Mossmorran currently hold Pollution Prevention and Control Permits (PPC/A/1013494 – Part A and PPC/A/1013495 Part A respectively) and operate continuously throughout the year. NOISE SOURCES Potential sources of noise at receptor from the Mossmorran Complex include: occasional flaring operations, cooling fans, process furnaces, gas turbine, steam boilers, loading and unloading of materials, vehicle movements and other associated onsite operations. Other possible sources of noise identified in the immediate vicinity of Mossmorran Complex include the A92 dual-carriageway road and the Little Raith windfarm (currently 9 turbines installed). The complainant believes that the main source of noise and vibration during the day and night is from one of the above sources. Noise generated from within property includes everyday residential noise such as talking, movement, television and radio, operation of white goods, etc. The resident was advised to limit this noise as much as possible during sound recordings. Other external noise sources include vehicle noise from the road directly in front of the property. MONITORING STRATEGY For the indoor noise assessment the Matron equipment was deployed in the south- facing South Street. A satellite view of the monitoring location and the area to the south is shown in Figure 1. South Street is located approximately 2.5km from the boundary of the Mossmorran Complex. As illustrated in Figure 1, the area to the south of South Street contains the Mossmorran Complex, the A92 dual-carriageway road and the Little Raith windfarm. Indoor Assessment of Environmental Noise at South Street, Lochgelly From 15th August to 5th September 2014 SIGNED: DATE: 05/11/2014 Page 2 of 39 SS-CHEM-GEN-T-002 v2 .

  • Major Emergency Plan
    MAJOR EMERGENCY PLAN Fife Council Major Emergency Plan FOREWORD The public are exposed daily to emergencies that are routinely dealt with by the emergency services or other organisations. Serious or major emergencies, greater in scale and effect, occur less frequently but can involve threats and risks from many sources including natural phenomena and man made accidents as well as malicious acts and international terrorism. Experience has shown that to deal successfully with unforeseen disruptive events, resources beyond those normally available are required and that the best response is achieved when organisations that provide key public services work in partnership with the communities affected. The Government has recognised the need for improved protection of the public by introducing the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 which establishes a clear set of roles and responsibilities for those involved in emergency preparation and response at the local level. As a designated Category 1 Responder Fife Council is required to develop increased public resilience to deal with disruptive events as well as providing support to the emergency services. In the event of a major emergency in Fife e.g. a Lockerbie type incident, it is conceivable that every local authority service could be involved to some extent in the overall response. The Fife Council Major Emergency Plan has therefore been produced after full consultation with all council services, the emergency services and partner organisations, both statutory and voluntary, who in time of crisis may be asked to respond to bring the emergency to a satisfactory conclusion and thereafter to ensure the return to normality as soon as possible.

  • A Wee Keek Back – Dunfermline Journal
    1 "A WEE KEEK BACK" BY JIM CAMPBELL "CENTRAL AND WEST FIFE LOCAL HISTORY PRESERVATION" ("The Present Preserving the Past for the Future") --------------- 24 St Ronan’s Gardens – Crosshill – KY5 8BL – 01592-860051 [email protected] --------------- At the time of writing this, I have been researching the Central and West Fife Local history for some eight years. During this time I have read quite a few books about Fife written by various and well known authors, most of which I have thoroughly enjoyed and found very enlightening, but I found a source of much greater interest and enlightenment when I began to research the local newspapers. Within the pages of "The Lochgelly Times", the "West Fife Echo" and most importantly "The Dunfermline Journal", I was delighted to find a veritable gold mine of information regarding the development of Central and West Fife. Almost everything of any importance at all in regards to the Central and West Fife area was reported somewhere within the pages of those newspapers, from the early days of coal mining, the beginning and building of the Tay and Forth Railway Bridges, the building and opening of Schools, Co-operative Societies, Gothenburg’s, Miners Welfare Institutes, of the Tramway cars being introduced, the appearance of the Automobile, the Education Act, the introduction of electricity, the opening up of the mining industry in the area, the mining disasters, the Linen trade, the political scene, the birth of towns, burgh's and villages, in short, I believe I discovered for myself the beginning of the Fife that we now know, and thanks to the many different articles consisting of reminiscences, Sanitary Inspectors Reports, Medical Officers reports, etc, that appear in these newspapers, we have been left with a reasonably authentic account of what life was like in Fife in the days gone by.

  • 'If You Build It, They Will Come' the Origins of Scotland's Country Parks
    ‘If you build it, they will come’ The Origins of Scotland’s Country Parks Volume 1 By: Phil Back A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History May 2018 University of Sheffield: Department of History ‘If you build it, they will come’: The origins of Scotland’s Country Parks Phil Back Volume 1 Pollok Country Park, Glasgow (Author’s collection) Supervisors: Dr James Shaw, Dr Tim Baycroft, Dr Clare Griffiths and Dr Caoimhe Nic Dháibhéid Abstract Country parks emerged as a designated landscape type in the UK following legislation in the 1960s. Conceived initially as a solution to damaging impacts on the scenic and working countryside from visiting motorists, they were a response to alarmist forecasts of trends that would exacerbate these problems further. Although often mentioned in discussion of countryside policy, country parks have never been examined in depth in Scotland, where the applicability of this policy has generally been either ignored, or conflated with the experience of England & Wales. Yet recreational need in Scotland was very different, and requires specific examination, as does the solution provided. This thesis uses archive material, together with contemporary commentary, to explore countryside recreation policy in Scotland in the later twentieth century. It considers whether the factors influencing legislation in England & Wales were germane to Scotland as well, and whether the emergent Scottish policy reflected Scotland’s distinctive needs. The thesis explores the creation of the Countryside Commission for Scotland and the expectations placed upon it, together with its fundamental weaknesses.
