    Repeated Dye Traces of Underground Streams in the Mendip Hills, Somerset

    47 Proc. Univ., Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1981. 16 (1). 47-58 REPEATED DYE TRACES OF UNDERGROUND STREAMS IN THE MENDIP HILLS. SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON and P. L. SMART ABSTRACT Three underground streams were dye traced as many as twenty-four times, at various Hows between the extremes of Hood and drought. This systematic study, the first of its kind to our knowledge, has shown that: 1. Travel time (the time between input of dye at the swallet and its first arrival at the resurgence) is inversely proportional (1:1) to mean resurgence outpul over the same period. This is characteristic of simple phreatie streams, which should be distinguishable using graphic analysis from vadose and complex phrcatic streams. 2. Rhodamine WT dye. the most stable of the common fluorescent dyes, Ls progress ively lost, to a significant and unpredictable extent, in transit from swallci to resurgence. Successful tracing therefore requires more dye at low flows than at high flows. BACKGROUND Water tracing in the Mendip caves has a long and distinguished history (Barrington and Stanton 1977, 209-213). The early experimenters, beginning at Wookey Hole Cave (ST 532.480) in 1860, used chaff, dyes or coloured powders, hoping for results visible to the naked eye. The modern phase of water tracing began in 1965 using the spores of a moss, Lycopodium clavatum, which were flushed down the swallets and caught at the resurgences in plankton nets. For the first time the tracing agent could not be detected by the unaided senses, and some attempt at quantitative analysis of results could be made (Atkinson, Drew and High 1967; Drew, Newson and Smith 1968).

    FPS/G3300/14A/21 Decision Dated 21 November 2019

    Appeal Decision by Susan Doran BA Hons MIPROW an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Decision date: 21 November 2019 Appeal Ref: FPS/G3300/14A/21 • This Appeal is made under Section 53(5) and Paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 against the decision of Somerset County Council not to make an Order under Section 53(2) of that Act. • The Application dated 1 October 2015 was refused by Somerset County Council on 31 January 2019. • The Appellant claims that the appeal route should be added to the definitive map and statement for the area as a bridleway/restricted byway/byway open to all traffic. Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Preliminary Matters 2. I have been directed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to determine an appeal under Section 53(5) and Paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (‘the 1981 Act’). 3. I have not visited the site but I am satisfied I can make my decision without the need to do so. 4. The appeal concerns an application made by Venetia Craggs on behalf of the Sedgemoor Byways and Bridleways Association, with submissions also made by Joanna Roseff (together referred to below as ‘the Appellant’). The application was made to add a bridleway/restricted byway/byway open to all traffic running from AX1/19 on the A38 Bridgwater Road to connect with AX29/37 and AX1/20 and connect with AX13/7 on the Shipham Road, known as Callow Drove (’the appeal route’).
