Preliminary Conceptual Site Model Summary 12 Atkins Geo-environmental Desk Study Report | Version 2.0 | March 2012 Ellington Minewater Treatment Facility Geo-environmental Desk Study Report Executive summary Atkins Limited (Atkins) was commissioned by The Coal Authority to prepare a Geo-environmental Desk Study Report for the proposed Ellington Minewater Treatment Facility. Proposals for the treatment facility comprise settlement ponds, sludge drying beds, sludge handling area, a wetland feature and storage tanks. The site is located approximately 1.5km south-east of Lynemouth, Northumberland and 35km north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The site is irregular in shape and covers an area of approximately 23.6 hectares. The site lies on an area formerly occupied by Lynemouth Colliery, with the eastern section of the site covered by colliery spoil. A railway siding (formerly a mineral railway) used by an adjacent power station encroaches onto part of the site. A culvert passes beneath the railway siding and beneath hardstanding pavements on the north-east side. Ground levels across the site have a general fall from approximately 18m AOD in the north-west to 8m AOD in the south-east. The site is located immediately adjacent to the coastline with the boundaries defined by the River Lyne to the north, a power station to the south and Park Road to the west. The historical maps show the site evolving from agricultural pasture and undeveloped coastline in the 1860s with a section of the eastern part of the site lying below the high water line. Initial colliery expansion started in the 1920s which then occupied the site until the 1990s. Mining operations ceased in the early 1990s, leading to the decommissioning of buildings and infrastructure and pumping of groundwater from mineworkings ceased. Spoil heaps from the mine have changed the topography and coastline and make up the majority of the eastern section of the site. The historical plans show many springs, watercourses, drains and areas of sloped ground in the surrounding area. The course of the River Lyne changed several times due to the deposition of spoil heaps from flowing within the site historically, to defining the northern boundary in the present day. The surrounding area remained agricultural pasture and undeveloped coastline until the 1920s when residential and industrial development started in Lynemouth. The mineral railway ran through Lynemouth to the colliery and later extended to the adjacent industrial uses. The power station and an aluminium works were constructed by 1973 approximately 300m south-west and 250m east of the site, respectively. Lagoons associated with the aluminium works, sewage works and a travellers camp were all constructed in the area surrounding the site by the 1980s. The published geological mapping information shows the site is likely to be underlain by natural deposits of Glacial Till, overlying Middle Coal Measures. Two known shafts associated with the extraction of undersea coal reserves remain on-site and have depths of 220mbgl and 239mbgl. Based upon the available historical information, potential sources of contamination on-site are likely to be Made Ground (colliery spoil, demolition waste and landfill), leachable contaminants and soil borne gases. These sources include former colliery buildings, fuel tanks, mineral railway, colliery spoil, radiation store and minewater. Off-site potential contaminative issues include historical landfilling, mine tips, commercial/industrial sites and minewater discharge. These sources include the power station, sewage works, aluminium works and mine refuse tips on Lyne Sands. The construction of the proposed treatment facility within the site will allow removal of metal contamination prior to discharge into the River Lyne, thus removing the source and pathways. Atkins Geo-environmental Desk Study Report | Version 2.0 | March 2012 i Ellington Minewater Treatment Facility Geo-environmental Desk Study Report 1. Introduction 1.1. General Atkins Limited (Atkins) was commissioned by The Coal Authority to prepare a Geo-environmental Desk Study Report for the proposed Ellington Minewater Treatment Facility. A draft Concept Design Report was undertaken in April 2011 outlining the feasibility of a minewater treatment facility on the site (Ref. 1). This report is intended to support a planning application for the proposed development in accordance with PPS23 (Planning and Pollution Control) (Ref. 2) and CLR11 (Model Procedures for the Management of Contaminated Land) (Ref. 3). The options for the minewater treatment facility scheme are shown on Drawing No. 5034762/SBG/030/003-006 General Arrangement (Appendix A) and comprises settlement ponds, sludge drying beds, sludge handling area, a wetland feature and storage tanks. This report commences with a review of the site’s location and current condition together with the historical development of the site area based on Ordnance Survey Maps. It reviews and summarises readily available published geological, hydrological, hydrogeological and environmental information obtained by Atkins. It presents a Preliminary Conceptual Site Model (PCSM) identifying potential sources of contamination, pathways and receptors. Information presented within the initial Concept Design Report (Ref. 1) is included where appropriate. 1.2. Background The Coal Authority (CA) and the Environment Agency (EA) have a joint aim to enhance the environment by reducing pollution of controlled waters from existing minewater discharges and establishing preventative schemes to limit future contamination. Consequently The Coal Authority is directing significant resources to improving the quality of minewater discharges and reducing pollution of controlled water. The focus of this report is Ellington Combine which consists of the combined workings of Ellington Colliery and Lynemouth Colliery on undersea reserves in the northern part of the Northumberland Coalfield. Ellington Colliery was sunk between 1909 and 1913 and Lynemouth Colliery was sunk in 1927; both collieries worked the six seams in the area (Ashington, High Main, Main, Yard, Low Main and Brass Thill). A number of connections have been made between these collieries, principally at the Main Seam horizon. There are also direct connections between Ellington Colliery and Linton Colliery along with Lynemouth Colliery to Woodhorn Colliery. The Ellington and Lynemouth Collieries merged in 1983. In 1992 the pumping to protect Ellington Combine ceased and as a result the minewaters have continued to rise. Minewater monitoring has shown water levels to have continued to rise; however the rates of rise have reduced in recent years (Ref, 1). In December 2010 the minewater levels at Ellington were 86.42m BOD and 86.36m BOD at Lynemouth. 1.3. Project References A number of reports have been prepared for the site, the key documents referred to are listed below. This report should be

  • Rotork Completes Automation Contract to Assist Decarbonisation at Lynemouth Power Station
    One of the new rail freight wagons for Lynemouth Power Station equipped with Rotork automated pneumatic control systems. Jun 21, 2018 09:00 BST Rotork completes automation contract to assist decarbonisation at Lynemouth Power Station Rotork has completed a contract to supply fully automated pneumatic control systems on high capacity biomass rail freight wagons supporting the decarbonisation project at Lynemouth Power Station in Northumberland. Rail freight manufacturer Astra Rail/Greenbrier Europe and leasing company Nacco have supplied GB Rail freight with 50 hopper wagons to support the biomass haulage contract awarded by Lynemouth Power Ltd. Each with a payload of 70tonnes, these auto-loading and discharging wagons run in two rakes (coupled groups) of 24 between the Port of Tyne and Lynemouth Power Station, delivering 37,000 tonnes of biomass per week. The Rotork design for auto-loading and discharging enables all controls, hand valves and visual indicators to be located in one place, providing safe and convenient access. Top and bottom hopper doors are operated by a magnetic sensor valve from a line side magnet. The innovative design allows any wagon in the rake to be the arming wagon. The fully automated control system enables quicker loading and unloading, requiring only supervision without manual intervention during operation. The proven design also allows for wagons to be separated and used in other rakes without any further configuration. Lynemouth Power Station has generated electricity since 1972. The plant was originally built and operated by Alcan with the purpose of providing safe and secure energy for the production of aluminium at the adjacent Lynemouth Smelter.

Carbon Pricing and Power Sector Decarbonisation: Evidence from the UK Marion Leroutier∗ June 21, 2021 Abstract Decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation is crucial to tackle climate change. Yet, empirically little is known on the effectiveness of economic instru- ments in the power sector. This paper examines the impact of the UK Carbon Price Support (CPS), a carbon tax implemented in the UK power sector in 2013. Compared to a synthetic control unit built from other European countries, emissions from the UK power sector declined by 26 percent on an average year between 2013 and 2017. Bounds on the effects of potential UK confounding policies and several placebo tests suggest that the carbon tax caused at least 80% of this decrease.

  • Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) May 2019
    Northumberland Local Plan Publication Draft Plan Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) May 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Northumberland Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) has been prepared in support of the Northumberland Local Plan. It identifies the likely infrastructure requirements, associated with the Local Plan over the plan period, up to 2036. The IDP is the output of long standing engagement with infrastructure providers to identify current infrastructure capacity, and to determine the likely future infrastructure requirements, associated with sustainable growth in Northumberland. Focussing on strategic infrastructure requirements, the IDP seeks to identify completed, committed, and planned investment across physical, social and green infrastructure types. It is intended to be a key mechanism by which to coordinate the investment and delivery plans of infrastructure providers to best effect. Where possible the IDP identifies where funding for infrastructure will come from. It also identifies where there are funding gaps. The collective funding gap could underpin the potential introduction of a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in Northumberland. There are no infrastructure requirements which are ‘critical’ to the delivery of the Northumberland Local Plan. However, there are some existing pressures on infrastructure and anticipated future pressures as a result of growth, development, demographic changes and other factors. Notably, necessary infrastructure requirements principally relate to: - mitigation or improvement works for a limited number of junctions on the road network; - the need for additional healthcare services to cater for a growing population; - a limited number of areas where additional school provision is required; - timely provision of works to ensure adequate waste water treatment capacity. Plans, programmes and projects have been identified to address these infrastructure requirements, and a range of other requirements which will help ensure the sustainability of Northumberland’s existing and new communities.
