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.

All were welcome to join in the Parkdean Fund Day and enter the soap box derby. He explained that he had been talking to suppliers to try and persuade them to use smaller delivery vehicles. He invited any parishioner seeing an oversize HGV on the road to Challaborough to contact him with details. He apologized for the impending road closure which was due to the installation of fibre optic for broadband. The public toilets at Challaborough had been kept open all winter because Parkdean had taken over the cleaning from SHDC. It was hoped to repeat this for winter 2017- 18. Parkdean would be paying for a lifeguard service at Challaborough and new life saving equipment. Parkdean was well aware of the inconvenience caused on the roads by moving caravans on and off site and it was hoped always to minimize the problem by arranging such movements for late evenings or early mornings. Warning signs would be placed on the cliff and cliff path about venturing too close to the edge.
