KEY OBJECTIVES • to maintain and enhance its current national and international nature conservation value • to reduce the flooding risk to people and the developed and natural environment • to reduce the discharge of dangerous substances to the North Sea • and improve water quality of the Tidal Ouse • to improve or restore the run of migratory salmonids into the Humber’s tributaries • to manage flows for the Trent and Ouse, balancing the needs of all water users • to ensure that the recreational potential is improved • to work with all relevant parties towards sustainable development • to balance the needs of commercial navigation and industrial, urban and agricultural development with the requirements of the environment • to improve our knowledge of the relationships between sedimentary processes, rising sea levels and the natural boundaries of the Estuary • to achieve major and continuous improvements in air quality • to reduce the amount of waste by encouraging reduction at source, recovery and re­ cycling of waste • to improve waste disposal standards. ENVIRONMENT AGENCY HUMBER ACTION PLAN: ANNUAL REVIEW FOR 2000 This is the second Annual Review summarising the progress made on implementing actions set out in the Environment Agency’s Humber Action Plan published in 1998. Notable acheivements during the year include: ' • First Humber Estuary Shoreline Management Plan (HESMP) published. • Start made on HESMP Refinement Project including further Geomorphological Studies. • Programme of “Urgent’* Flood Defence works reviewed and updated. • Start made on producing Guidance for land use plans and proposed developments on the Humber’s flood plain. • Progress made by water companies on sewerage and sewage treatment facilities at Cleethorpes/Grimsby, Hull and Immingham, programme of further improvements to facilities agreed. • Position Statement on Humber Fisheries produced. • Agency contributions on rising sea level and development in flood plains influenced policies in the draft Regional Planning Guidance for Yorkshire and Humberside and the Regional Sustainable Development Framework. During the year English Nature announced the intention to extend the Humber Special Protection Area for Birds to include nearly the entire inter-tidal habitat of the Estuary and the Ouse up to the M62 Bridge near Goole. The Estuary also became a candidate Special Area of Conservation under the Habitats Directive. The “Relevant Authorities” commenced work on preparing the Scheme of Management for the European Marine Site, which is required by the Habitats Regulations 1994. The Humber’s importance for economic development is recognised by the Humber Trade Zone in the Regional Economic Strategy for Yorkshire and the Humber, and by further investment in port facilities at Hull and Immingham by Associated British Ports. Flood defences protect much industry and high-grade farmland as well as the homes of over a third of a million people. The many pressures on the Estuary and potentially competing activities mean that there is a real need for management to ensure that the needs of one do not harm the needs of others. So that the Agency meets all its aims, it has adopted a number of approaches, which help to ensure that by meeting its own targets, it is also contributing to the continued and future well being of the Humber Estuary and the local community. These include: Managing the Estuary as a single entity and not on a piecemeal basis; Identifying clear targets for work and operating in an open and Business-like way; Working in consistent ways across all the functions and operational units of the Agency. The need to work with the many interested parties and the community is reflected in membership of the Steering Committee for our Humber Estuary Shoreline Management Plan and in the extensive consultation undertaken on “Planning for the Rising Tides”. We are an active partner of Humber Estuary Management Strategy (HEMS), working for the benefit of the whole Estuary to targets which are not just those of the Agency but of all those involved. The state of the Humber is in part dependent on activities in the inland catchments. The relevant Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPS) are given at the end of this section. In the Humber Action Plan the actions are expressed as “The Agency will” statements in relation to the 13 key issues of the Humber Estuary Management Strategy. This framework is followed in this review. It should be noted that some tasks related to the HEMS key issues are outside the remit of the Environment Agency and are the province of other organisations. Likewise to achieve many of “The Agency will” statements requires working in partnership with others. The HEMS Key Issues 1. We need a strategic planning framework to guide co-ordination and co-operation between all organisations with responsibilities for planning and management of land and water use activities in the HEMS area. 2. We need to improve our understanding of the physical and sedimentary processes at work in the Humber Estuary, so it can be managed in a sustainable way. 3. We need to understand the physical processes linking the Estuary and adjacent open coastlines, so they can be considered carefully in strategy development and land use planning. 4. We need to respond to predicted rates of sea level rise and coastal squeeze. 5. We need to protect people, property and key areas of land/infrastructure from flooding and maintain conservation. We also need to decide how to balance these requirements to provide long term effective and sustainable tidal defences. 6. We need to integrate the conservation and enhancement of the internationally important sites (Special Protection Areas, SPA) on the Estuary with the development needs of ports and industry. 7. We need to improve water quality in the Humber Estuary to comply with National and European standards and encourage effluent discharges to adopt the Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) concept. 8. We need to promote the benefits of waste minimisation more widely. 9. We need to promote the benefits of reclaiming areas of contaminated land more widely, to reduce pressure on green field sites, and to promote redevelopment for economic use and environmental gain. 10. We need to ensure the sustainable economic development of the Estuary’s ports, wharves and industrial base. 11. A framework is needed to guide recreational management of the Estuary and its environs, ensuring integration with other estuary interests. 12. We need to ensure the sustainability of current and future tourism on the Humber. 13. We need to improve education and establish information exchange initiatives based on the HEMS region, and to encourage research and development work on the many issues associated with estuary management.

    The Value of Water Level Management TRANSPORTATION NETWORK ©iStockphoto.com LeadingLights ©iStockphoto.com ada INTRODUCTION Foreword from the Chairman This report emphasises the importance of water level management in ensuring the security of the transportation network in England and Wales. Furthermore, it highlights the interconnectivity of the transportation network, and the important role Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs) play in continuing to keep the country, and the economy, moving. “…the interconnected nature of its networks...lends resilience to the sector. However, the “ “ scale and exposed nature of the network leaves it vulnerable to some significant risk.” 2012 Sector Resilience Plan for Critical Infrastructure, Cabinet Office Britain currently faces a number of stresses: a growing population, climate change and a large budgetary deficit. To meet these challenges we need an economically competitive Britain. For any society this must start with ensuring that fundamental building blocks for growth and prosperity are in place. Transport is one of those crucial building blocks. As a nation we are renewing and improving our transportation networks; Crossrail is currently being built underneath Central London; plans are in place for a new Forth crossing (Queensferry Crossing) and for HS2. But new projects are just part of the picture, at the same time we must do what we can to preserve and enhance our existing infrastructure. The flooding experienced across England in November 2012 is a timely reminder about the impact our weather and climate can have on our ability to move people and freight about our country. ADA and its members play their part in helping keep the country moving, regardless of the mode of transportation.

    Speech by John Dodwell, a Trustee of the Canal & River Trust, at the Freight by Water conference on North of England Water Freight Opportunities organised by the Freight Transport Association on Wednesday November 26 2014 at Wakefield, Yorkshire Context. The FTA used this conference to launch their new Shippers Guide to “Making use of water freight”, covering short sea and coastal shipping as well as the use of inland waterways. The FTA represents the transport interests of companies moving goods by road, rail, water and air. It is not an organisation representing suppliers of freight services, such as road hauliers (who have their separate organisation). The conference was chaired by Chris Welsh, the FTA’s Director of Global and European Policy. Other speakers included Helen Miller and Max Rathmell from Leeds City Council planners about “Planning policy: safeguarding of wharves; gravel and sea dredged aggregates” Warren Marshall from Peel Ports about “Port of Liverpool & The Manchester Ship Canal: Integration and Developments” Rob Brewster from PD Ports about “Teesport Port Centric Logistics” David Quarmby, chair of Canal & River Trust’s Freight Advisory Group, about the work leading up to that Group’s report about CRT’s freight waterways, followed by John Dodwell, CRT Trustee, talking about the actions CRT is taking, following that report Ian Goldthorpe from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (a grouping of local authorities in that area) about their perspective of water freight opportunities and challenges FTA’s Chris MacRae about the Department for Transport’s Modal Shift Grants FTA’s Chris Welsh about the adverse effect on short sea and coastal shipping about new EU rules on the sulphur content of ship engine exhausts Summing up by Mike Garratt, Managing Director of the consultants MDS Transmodal In his remarks, John Dodwell said “The work done by David Quarmby’s group has been much appreciated by the Canal & River Trust.

    4. Avifauna Bird Assemblage - Humber Estuary Key Sites: All areas have ornithological value. Particular sites or reaches of note include the Humber Wildfowl Refuge (including Whitton Sand), Brough Airfield, Read’s Island and adjacent fringing mudflat, the Barton Clay Pits complex, Skitterness & the Grues, Saltend, Cherry Cobb & Foulholme Sands, North Killingholme to Pyewipe, Welwick & Spurn Bight, Tetney to Donna Nook and Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes NNR. Summary Status: • International importance under the Ramsar Convention and the Wild Birds Directive for its assemblage. • Internationally and nationally important for a series of waterfowl species (see below). • Site includes SPA, Ramsar, NNR, SSSIs and SNCIs. Description The Humber Estuary plays an international role in bird migration and is one of the six most important wetland sites in the UK. As a resource, it provides safe feeding and roosting for species moving from breeding sites in the arctic and sub arctic to wintering grounds in southern Europe and Africa, as well as for species which use the Humber as an over- wintering site. Its strategic role stems from its position along the East Atlantic Flyway, a broad zone stretching between the breeding grounds of waders in the arctic and sub arctic and their over-wintering sites in southern Europe and Africa with wader and waterfowl flocks utilising the extensive and highly productive intertidal mudflats of the estuary as a source of food and as a roost site. The Humber should therefore be regarded as one of a series of wetland sites (e.g. the Wash, the Wadden Sea and the Tees) along the migration route, with estuarine function in relation to waterfowl migration having been described as analogous to that of a service station on an international motorway network.
