It is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). 1.1.2 The Proposed Development crosses the Afon Tywi SAC (River Towy) near to Carmarthen. The Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries SAC is 7.35km downstream of this crossing point (following the river’s course as indicated on Figure 1). The closest pole is 1.79km east of the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries SAC; this is also shown on Figure 1. Under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (the Habitat Regulations) these qualify as Natura 2000 sites (often called European sites). 1.1.3 The competent authority (decision-maker) for the Proposed Development is the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, who will decide whether to grant a Development Consent Order (DCO) for the project. Paragraph 4.3.1 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (the Habitat Regulations) states that the decision-maker must consider whether the project will have significant effects on a European site or any site to which the same protection is applied, either alone or in combination with other plans or projects. 1.1.4 The procedure for undertaking HRA for NSIPs is explained in Advice Note 10 Table 1, issued by the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) in August 2013, which specifies that the following activities should be undertaken during Stage 1: Screening: . Applicant undertakes HRA and concludes likely significant effect (LSE) of project on any European site(s), and consults with statutory consultees – this 3 HRA NSER Report – Volume 5.4 current document concludes the LSE and a copy of the consultation responses from Natural Resources Wales (NRW), Carmarthen County Council (CCC) and the Planning Inspectorate (PINs) are provided in Annex A. Applicant prepares and consults on Screening Matrices and, if applicable, Integrity Matrices – the Screening Matrices are presented in Annex B. Applicant prepares draft NSER or HRA Report and submits to Planning Inspectorate (PINs) and statutory nature conservation bodies (SNCBs) for comment – a copy of the comments received from NRW, CCC and PINs are provided in Annex A. 1.1.5 A meeting was held between Western Power Distribution (WPD), RSK and NRW on 2 October 2014 to discuss the proposed crossing methods for the Afon Tywi (River Towy) SAC and the requirements of the HRA. Specialists from NRW attended including a fish expert and the designated sites officer. A prior meeting was held between WPD, RSK and NRW (species licensing team) on 19 September 2014 to discuss European Protected Species issues. The minutes of both meetings were combined in a table for ease. A copy of the minutes from these meetings is provided in Annex A. 1.1.6 It was agreed in the 2 October 2014 meeting that the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries SAC should be considered within the study area, as it is hydrologically connected to the Afon Tywi (River Towy) SAC. It was agreed that no other SACs required consideration. It was also agreed that there was no shad spawning habitat within or close to the proposed crossing point. Confirmation of this agreement with NRW is provided in Annex A. 1.1.7 Protected species and habitat records were requested from a number of sources, which are listed in Table 1. 4 HRA NSER Report – Volume 5.4 Table 1 – Summary of Relevant Ecology Desk Study Sources Organisation Contact and information provided Natural Resources Internet search included: Wales (NRW) Statutory designated site GIS layers Statutory designated site citations Jonathan Rothwell, Terrestrial Mapping Specialist.

Information included: Protected and notable species records Information on important habitats Joint Nature Full citations for SACs Conservation Committee (JNCC) 1.1.8 Ecological surveys were undertaken between January 2013 and October 2014 by RSK. Detailed otter surveys were undertaken during September and October 2014. A number of watercourses were surveyed for otter including the Afon Tywi 5 HRA NSER Report – Volume 5.4 (River Towy) SAC and adjacent tributaries crossed by the Proposed Development (see Figure 2 for survey locations). The detailed otter surveys involved a systematic search 100m upstream and downstream of all crossing points associated with the Proposed Development, recording any field signs encountered. Field signs include spraints (droppings), footprints, slides, paths, feeding evidence, holts (underground resting places) or couches (temporary resting places). 1.2 Designated Sites 1.2.1 The following designated sites were assessed due to their proximity to the Proposed Development, or, in the case of the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries SAC, due to its hydrological linkage to the Proposed Development. The European site citations (taken from the JNCC website) are provided in Annex C. Afon Tywi (River Towy) SAC 1.2.2 Otter (Lutra lutra) and twaite shad (Alosa fallax) are both Annex II species and the primary reason for the selection of this site as an SAC. 1.2.3 Additional qualifying features of the site are the presence of five other fish species of conservation significance. These features are not a primary reason for the designation: . Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) . Brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri); . River lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis), . Allis shad (Alosa alosa), and . Bullhead (Cottus gobio). 1.2.4 There are no other known reasons for designation, i.e. presence of Annex I habitats etc. 6 HRA NSER Report – Volume 5.4 1.2.5 The presence of otter spraints and footprints on the Afon Twyi (River Towy) and its tributaries during field surveys in 2014 showed that otters are present in this area, although no confirmed holts or potential resting places were recorded. The area is likely to be used for commuting and foraging only. 1.2.6 Full details are provided in the Environmental Statement Appendix 10.6 Otter and Water Vole Technical Report Volume 6.4. 1.2.7 These findings support the information provided in the citation which states that “few known [otter] breeding sites occur on the main river”. 1.2.8 Detailed fish surveys were not carried out by WPD on the Afon Tywi (River Towy) SAC or its tributaries, however during ecological scoping surveys it was confirmed that the proposed crossing points are within the tidal section of the Afon Tywi (River Towy) SAC. As the affected sections of the river and its tributaries are tidal there is no suitable spawning habitat for twaite shad (although the species will migrate through the affected sections). 1.2.9 During a meeting on 2 October 2014 (see Annex A for meeting minutes) NRW confirmed that spawning grounds are not present at the proposed crossing points which is within the tidal section of the river. It was also confirmed that the main migration period for twaite shad on the Afon Tywi (River Towy) SAC is between April and June. 1.2.10 The conservation objectives for the Afon Tywi (River Towy) SAC are summarised below. The document can be viewed in full in Annex D: . unmodified ecological and hydrological processes and characteristics should be maintained as far as possible, or restored where necessary; . the ecological status of the water environment should be sufficient to maintain a stable or increasing population of each feature; . flow regime, water quality and physical habitat should be maintained in, or restored as far as possible, to a near-natural state; 7 HRA NSER Report – Volume 5.4 . all known breeding, spawning or nursery sites of species featured should be maintained as suitable habitat; . flows, water quality, substrate quality and quantity at fish spawning sites and nursery areas will not be depleted by abstraction, discharges, engineering or gravel extraction activities; . the river platform and profile should be predominantly unmodified; . river habitat SSSI features should be in favourable condition; . artificial factors impacting on the capability of each species feature to occupy the full extent of its natural range should be modified where necessary to allow passage; .

    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Modeling Dynamic Processes of Mondego Estuary and Óbidos Lagoon Using Delft3D Joana Mendes , Rui Ruela, Ana Picado, João Pedro Pinheiro, Américo Soares Ribeiro , Humberto Pereira and João Miguel Dias * Physics Department, CESAM–Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal; [email protected] (J.M.); [email protected] (R.R.); [email protected] (A.P.); [email protected] (J.P.P.); [email protected] (A.S.R.); [email protected] (H.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Estuarine systems currently face increasing pressure due to population growth, rapid economic development, and the effect of climate change, which threatens the deterioration of their water quality. This study uses an open-source model of high transferability (Delft3D), to investigate the physics and water quality dynamics, spatial variability, and interrelation of two estuarine systems of the Portuguese west coast: Mondego Estuary and Óbidos Lagoon. In this context, the Delft3D was successfully implemented and validated for both systems through model-observation comparisons and further explored using realistically forced and process-oriented experiments. Model results show (1) high accuracy to predict the local hydrodynamics and fair accuracy to predict the transport and water quality of both systems; (2) the importance of the local geomorphology and estuary dimensions in the tidal propagation and asymmetry; (3) Mondego Estuary (except for the south arm) has a higher water volume exchange with the adjacent ocean when compared to Óbidos Lagoon, resulting from the highest fluvial discharge that contributes to a better water renewal; (4) the dissolved oxygen (DO) varies with water temperature and salinity differently for both systems.

  • Analysis of Tidal Prism Evolution and Characteristics of the Lingdingyang
    MATEC Web of Conferences 25, 001 0 6 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201525001 0 6 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Analysis of Tidal Prism Evolution and Characteristics of the Lingdingyang Bay at Pearl River Estuary Shenguang Fang, Yufeng Xie & Liqin Cui Key laboratory of the Pearl River Estuarine Dynamics and Associated Process Regulation, Ministry of Water Resources, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China ABSTRACT: Tidal prism is a rather sensitive factor of the estuarine ecological environment. The historical evolution of the Lingdingyang water area and its shoreline were analyzed. By using remote sensing data, the evolution of the water area of the bay was also calculated in the past 30 years. Due to reclamation, the water area was greatly decreased during that period, and the most serious decrease occurred between 1988 and 1995. Through establishing the two-dimensional mathematical model of the Pearl River estuary, the tidal prism of the Lingdingyang bay has been calculated and analyzed. The hybrid finite analytic method of fully implicit scheme was adopted in the mathematical model’s dispersion and calculation. The results were verified though the method of combining the field hydrographic data and empirical formula calculation. The results showed that the main tidal entrance of the bay is the Lingdingyang entrance, which accounts for about 87.7% of the total tidal prism, while Hong Kong’s Anshidun waterway accounts for only 12.3% or so. Combining the numerical simulations and the historical evolution analysis of the water area and tidal prism, and compared with that in 1978, it showed that the tidal prism of the bay was greatly decreased, and the reduced area was mainly the inner Lingdingyang bay, which accounted for 88.4% of the whole shrunken areas.
