A: 15/VI/10 Derwent Forest Three Year Holding Programme Cumbria County Council Buckhill Colliery Spoil Tip Inspection Report 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND 1.1.1 At the request of Allerdale Borough Council work was carried out on behalf of Allerdale Borough Council, Cumbria County Council and the Northwest Regional Development Agency, (The Clients) to inspect the spoil tip at the former Buckhill Colliery and assess the current condition. The tip is located in a large area of former MOD land near Broughton Moor, Cumbria, O.S. grid reference (NY) 305735E, 531945N. 1.1.2 The inspection regime required as part of the commission involves repeat visits annually for a total of three years. The subject of the current report is the second visit undertaken, in March 2010. 1.1.3 Existing desk-based information was researched as part of the study. This information is referenced in the relevant sections of the report, and a list of sources of information is included in Appendix C. 1.1.4 As part of the study site visits were undertaken between 6th and 13th January 2009 and 15th to 18th March 2010 to inspect the spoil tip and its surroundings, and to confirm the topography of site. 1.1.5 The comments given in this report and the opinions expressed assume that the site conditions do not vary outwith the extents revealed by this investigation. There may be, however, conditions within the site, particularly in relation to moisture content changes and weathering, which have not been disclosed by the investigation and consequently have not been considered in this report. Capita Symonds accepts no liability for the completeness or accuracy of third party records. 1.1.6 This document has been prepared by Capita Symonds Limited within the terms of the Contract with the Clients to whom this document is addressed. Capita Symonds Limited disclaims any responsibility to the Clients and others in respect of matters outside the scope of the said contract. No person other than the Clients, their professional advisors, and Beneficiaries under the Deed of Warranty shall rely on it in any respect and no duty of care shall be owed to any such third party by Capita Symonds Limited. 1.2 PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS 1.2.1 Reference was made to the Coal Authority, but no information regarding the spoil tip was located within their archives. 1.2.2 Capita Symonds have carried out investigations at the site in the past, including the determination of strength parameters for the spoil material. Results from this investigation are included in Appendix B. CAPITA SYMONDS Report GC20549/G1/02 Carlisle 1 Rev. A: 15/VI/10 Derwent Forest Three Year Holding Programme Cumbria County Council Buckhill Colliery Spoil Tip Inspection Report 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 GENERAL 2.1.1 The site is located near to Broughton Moor in West Cumbria at O.S.G.R. (NY) 305735E, 531945N. The site location is shown on Figure A/01. 2.1.2 The area is mixed in character, generally thickly wooded with conifer plantations in the Centre and West of the site, with rough gorse thickets to the North, and open grazing land to the South and East. Much of the site has been used for munitions storage from the late 1930’s when the Admiralty developed the facility until closure of the depot in the early 1990’s, and many storage magazines still remain, although in varying states of dereliction. The majority of the area in all some 300ha, including the former Buckhill Colliery, is ring fenced by concrete post and wire mesh fencing. 2.2 GEOLOGY 2.2.1 The superficial geology beneath the Made Ground of the spoil tip is indicated on the 1:50,000 and 1:10,000 scale maps published by the Geological Survey to consist of Glacial Till (Boulder Clay) of Devensian age. The Glacial Till is essentially composed of a heterogeneous unsorted mixture of lithology ranging from cobble and gravel down to a matrix of relatively impermeable boulder clay with isolated lenses of more sandy or gravelly material. The overall thickness of the Glacial Till varies significantly across the site in a complex manner, and the results of previous ground investigations indicate a superficial thickness varying from a few metres to up to thirty metres. Drift is generally thinner towards the North East of the site, but significant post-glacial erosion is evidenced by the deeply incised gills crossing the site, where it may be conjectured that the drift cover is thinner at the base of these valleys. The presence of buried pre-glacial stream channels where thicker drift occurs cannot be discounted. 2.2.2 The geological map shows that the site lies on solid geology of the Coal Measures, part of the Carboniferous. The Coal Measures are formed from superimposed cyclothems of shale, siltstone, coal and sandstone. The area is traversed by several intersecting major fault sets, leading to complexities in interpreting the precise correlation of cyclothems between adjacent faulted blocks. The fault zones between adjacent blocks will also cause significant disruption due to jointed and locally shattered zones. In addition, over the area of the site the cyclothem horizons may vary significantly, with individual units lensing out. It is known that local washouts or “nips” occur in coal seams in the area. 2.3 MINING HISTORY 2.3.1 Coal mining has historically been undertaken in the area by shallow methods (“bell pits”) and deeper

  • Broughton Moor
    Cumbria County Council Highways and Transport Economy and Infrastructure Directorate Joseph Noble Road Lillyhall Workington CA14 4JH T: 01946 506550 F: 01946 506537 E: [email protected] ALLERDALE SPEED LIMIT REVIEW: BROUGHTON MOOR Site description and overview: Broughton Moor is a sizeable village situated approximately 2.5 miles south east of Maryport, and is served by a number of small businesses and a primary school. The village is subject to a 30mph limit; however it has been highlighted that the limit extends slightly too far to the east and the west. The same applies on the southern approach – the 30mph limit extends too far out – however it is noted that there are a number of outlying properties on the outskirts of the village, that need to be considered. Existing traffic conditions: Recorded average speeds are 34 and 35 mph on the eastern and western approaches respectively, both with 85th percentile speeds of 40mph. On the southern approach, average speeds were recorded at 37mph with an 85th percentile value of 43mph. There is no recorded history of serious collisions. Proposed changes to the speed limit: To reposition the extents of the 30mph speed limit on the eastern and western approaches so they are more aligned with the built-up area. On the southern approach, the 30mph limit will also be relocated closer to the built-up area; however it is proposed that a 40mph “buffer” will be added for a distance of 370 metres. Summary of reasons for proposed change: The recorded average speeds indicate that the 30mph limit extends too far beyond the built-up area.

  • Cumbria County Council Early Years (Speech, Language and Communication) Peer Challenge
    Cumbria County Council Early Years (Speech, Language and Communication) Peer Challenge 3rd – 6th December 2019 Feedback Report Page 1 of 13 1. Executive Summary Cumbria has good partnership working at operational levels which aim to meet the needs of children in the early years. Staff are passionate about their work and aim to deliver services to provide the best start for the youngest children in Cumbria. Strategic leadership and oversight of the early years agenda needs to be improved and the current governance arrangement through the Cumbria Alliance of Systems Leaders (CASL) is not fully effective. The governance arrangements to oversee the developing Early Years Strategy will need to be considered and the Cumbria Children’s Trust may be the best forum for this. However, this Board is in need of a review and refresh. The health landscape is complex, with two Clinical Commissioning Groups, one based in the south, Morecambe Bay, which also covers part of Lancashire, the other in north Cumbria. Relationships are established and improving. This brings challenges in terms of service provision and the capacity of strategic leaders to work across two counties. Partnership working at a local level is well-developed and is based on professional and organisational respect. Signs of Safety has been well received and is the basis for strengths-based conversations to tackle difficult issues. There were examples of services and settings working together to address need, despite a lack of strategic direction. Families and children are at the heart of what they do. The new specification for the 0-19 Children, Young People and Families Health and Wellbeing System has enabled commissioners to work together to develop a holistic approach and bring partners together.

  • Reclamation and Development of Geomechanically Transformed Land in the Konin-Turek Coal Basin
    POLISH JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE VOL. XLIX/2 2016 PL ISSN 0079-2985 DOI: 10.17951/pjss/2016.49.2.123 AGNIESZKA MOCEK-PŁÓCINIAK* RECLAMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF GEOMECHANICALLY TRANSFORMED LAND IN THE KONIN-TUREK COAL BASIN Received: 2016.09.05 Accepted: 2017.02.15 1Abstract. This overview article presents major forms of reclamation and development of external and internal spoil tips, which are formed during brown coal mining and from bottom ash dumped near open-pit mines and power stations. In the late 1970s, a new form of agricultural and forest recultivation was developed – the PAN model. According to the concept, crops and forest-forming plant species should be introduced to post-mining grounds immediately after the end of technical recultivation. Vegetation is a particularly reliable indicator of habitat properties and small changes taking place in nature undergoing recovery. Other bioindicators of the quality and health of new- ly formed soil include the biomass of microorganisms, their count, composition and enzymatic activity. In many countries the assessment of the influence of anthropogenic stress factors on the count of soil microorganisms has become one of key elements of obligatory inspection under environmental monitoring. In consequence of revitalisation of anthropogenically changed areas, biological life is restored within the period of at least 20–30 years. It is manifested by the develop- ment of microbial population and soil fauna. Keywords: reclamation, post-mining areas, enzymatic activity, microorganisms, vegetation INTRODUCTION Many minerals are acquired by means of open-pit or underground mining. It causes land transformation and permanent changes in the landscape. New convex forms known as external spoil tips appear in natural geomorphologi- cal systems.

  • An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment and Walk Over Survey of RNAD Broughton Moor, Cumbria
    BMM 01 An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment and Walk Over Survey of RNAD Broughton Moor, Cumbria Client: Allerdale Borough Council Richard Conolly November 2001 CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Site Location and Description 3 Objectives 4 Methods 5 Results 6 Discussion 7 Recommendations 8 Acknowledgements Appendix 1: Sources Consulted Appendix 2: Gazetteer and Concordance Appendix 3: Photographic Register Summary Headland Archaeology Ltd were commissioned to undertake an archaeological assessment of the now decommissioned Royal Naval Armaments Depot, Broughton Moor, Cumbria, as part of a feasibility study being carried out for Allerdale Borough Council. The assessment identified a total of twenty-four sites in and around the depot. Most of these date to the 19th Century or later and relate to mines that occupied the site before the construction of the depot in 1938. Earlier land use is represented by the presence of a medieval field system and areas of ridge and furrow. A possible artificial mound was also identified. The depot itself has been extensively recorded by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England. The mining sites and field system have been recorded by the Ordnance Survey. Therefore no further work is recommended for these sites. In the event of the possible mound being threatened by development then further work is recommended. 1 INTRODUCTION This report details the results of an archaeological assessment, comprising a desk based assessment and site walk-over, of the former Royal Navy Armaments Depot (RNAD) at Broughton Moor, Cumbria. The work was undertaken on behalf of Allerdale Borough Council as part of a feasibility study on possible future development.
