All affected passengers were isolated on board and well enough to travel home. The crew member was isolated on board and off duty until he recovered. Advice was given on correct cleaning and disinfection on board the vessels. The Authority received an initial out-of-hours notification on 26 May regarding an incident on board a ship in Goole Docks which led to the tragic deaths of three seamen. There was no suspected infectious disease. The Maritime & Coastguard Agency and Public Health England were informed. June During the month the Authority’s out of hours on-call officer received separate reports of illness involving one crew member and one passenger arriving in Hull. All affected passengers were isolated on board and well enough to travel home. The crew member was isolated on board and off duty until he recovered.

However, as this product falls within the scope of an Environmental Permit granted by the Environment Agency (EA), complaints received and our officer observations are forwarded to the EA. Throughout the quarter the Authority received several specific and non-specific complaints regarding alleged dust nuisance from the discharge of various bulk products from ships and a fertilizer blending process at Goole Docks. Specific concerns were also expressed regarding the storing and handling of Ammonium Nitrate. Our officers made several visits to the site to investigate the dust complaints and whilst there was some evidence of dust deposits, these did not amount to a statutory nuisance. Advice was given to the company concerned on dust control methods for ship discharging and the blending operation. Andrew Percy MP called a meeting with our officers, Elected Members, other stakeholders and residents in Goole on 12 August. This proved to be very useful in explaining the legal position of both this Authority, the Health & Safety Executive and East Riding of Yorkshire Planning Directorate and controls already in place and future actions. This was particularly important to address specific concerns regarding Ammonium Nitrate. A further meeting is planned for November this year. In the meantime our officers continue to monitor the operation and work with the company to improve dust control methods. All complaints are dealt with promptly and thoroughly investigated. 3 On 27 May we received a complaint of blue dust at Gunness, North Lincolnshire. Our investigations proved to be somewhat inconclusive but we continue to monitor the site on a regular basis. No further complaints have been received. June On 23 June a complaint was received from a Hull business that wood dust deposits were causing problems. Our investigations revealed some evidence of dust but this was not sufficient to constitute a statutory nuisance. Advice on dust prevention and control was given to the operator and we continue to monitor this operation and no further complaints have been received. July On 29 July we were advised of a complaint regarding wood dust at The Humber International Terminal, North Lincolnshire. Remedial action taken promptly by the operator proved to be effective and no further complaints were received. Noise Complaints - Environmental Protection Act 1990 On 12 June we received a complaint of noise at Howdendyke from the equipment used to discharge a ship. Colleagues at East Riding of Yorkshire Council were informed as they have responsibility for the investigation of such noise complaints.

  • The Value of Water Level Management Transportation Network ©Istockphoto.Com Leadinglights
    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.

    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.
