  • Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING
    5k Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 April 1992 FW P/9 2/ 0 0 1 Author: B Steele Technicol Assistant, Freshwater NRA National Rivers Authority CVM Davies South West Region Environmental Protection Manager HATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 _ . - - TECHNICAL REPORT NO: FWP/92/001 The maps in this report indicate the monitoring locations for the 1992 Regional Water Quality Monitoring Programme which is described separately. The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

    EEC/09/198/HQ East Devon Highways and Traffic Orders Committee 14 September 2009 Heavy Goods Vehicles, C808 Ottery St. Mary to The Bowd and C96/C95 through Whimple to Broadclyst Report of the Area Engineer (East) Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that the report be noted and that formal HGV restrictions on these roads be not pursued any further. 1. Summary This report details the costs and implications for the signing of a formal weight or width restriction on the C808, Ottery St. Mary to the Bowd road, and the C96 and C95 roads through Whimple and out to Broadclyst. 2. Background At the meeting of this Committee on 30 March 2009, Members considered two reports regarding Heavy Goods Vehicles travelling on the C808 Bowd to Ottery St. Mary Road and the C96 and C95 roads through Whimple and out to Broadclyst. It was resolved that, inter alia, a report be submitted to the next meeting of the Committee on the extent of possible restrictions, the signing requirements together with their associated costs. 3. Signing Implications In assessing the signage that would be required, consideration has been given to ensuring that the restriction could be enforced should the need arise. This has meant that every likely point of accessing the routes has had to taken into account when determining the amount of signage required. The C808 from the A3052 at the Bowd through to Ottery St Mary is approximately six kilometres in length with a number of side road junctions along the route.
