  • 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.

Old King Coul was a merry old soul, And a jolly old soul was he ; Old King Coul he had a brown bowl, And they brought him in fiddlers three. EDINBURGH: THOMAS G. STEVENSON, HISTORICAL AND ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLER, 87 PRINCES STREET. MDCCCXLVII. — ; — CFTMS IVCRSI1 c INTRODUCTION. Renfrewshire has her Harp—why not Ayrshire her Lyre ? The land that gave birth to Burns may well claim the distinction of a separate Re- pository for the Ballads and Songs which belong to it. In this, the First Series, it has been the chief object of the Editor to gather together the older lyrical productions connected with the county, intermixed with a slight sprinkling of the more recent, by way of lightsome variation. The aim of the work is to collect those pieces, ancient and modern, which, scattered throughout various publications, are inaccessible to many readers ; and to glean from, oral recitation the floating relics of a former age that still exist in living remembrance, as well as to supply such in- formation respecting the subject or author as maybe deemed interesting. The songs of Burns—save, perhaps, a few of the more rare—having been already collected in numerous editions, and consequently well known, will form no part of the Repository. In distinguishing the Ballads and Songs of Ayrshire, the Editor has been, and will be, guided by the connec- tion they have with the district, either as to the author or subject ; and now that the First Series is before the public, he trusts that, whatever may be its defects, the credit at least will be given Jiim of aiming, how- ever feebly, at the construction of a lasting monument of the lyrical literature of Ayrshire.

The Society is particularly glad to welcome a number of young recruits, who are contributing keen observations. We deeply regret the loss by death of six members. Miss D. Valentine's resignation as Joint Honorary Secretary is also deeply felt, but as she is now living permanently out of Corn­ wall she felt compelled to take the step. The Founder would like to take this opportunity of expressing his deep appreciation and gratitude for her ever patient and loyal co-operation throughout the eleven years of her partnership with him as Joint Honorary Secretary, and the whole Society will join with him in expressing their sense of loss. Our thanks are again due to Mr. Stuart Martyn for kindly auditing the accounts, and to Mr.

  • MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5
    Location reference: Lower Fal Management Area reference: MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 7 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT The preferred plan for the Lower Fal aims to balance the provision of support to the core settlements of Falmouth, Penryn, St Mawes, St Just, Flushing, Restronguet and Mylor (in line with the high-level SMP objectives) with a management approach which does not adversely impact on the undeveloped parts of the lower estuary and importantly takes account of any potential impacts on the Fal & Helford SAC. It is important to note that there is a legal requirement to not adversely affect the integrity of the SAC; through impacts such as the loss of intertidal feeding areas by not allowing the high water mark to move inland due to climate change. This, of course, requires a number of different policy options to be employed at different locations. From a high level view-point, it can be seen that across the whole Management Area (and indeed across the entire estuary system) there will be a trend toward a reduction in intertidal area due to sea level rise. Wherever the landward movement of MHWS is constrained by the rising topography or defences, reduction in intertidal area may occur. It is likely that a net overall reduction in intertidal area may occur toward the latter part of the SMP timeframe when considering sea level rise in isolation. However the picture is actually much more complex than this – erosion, accretion, sedimentation, changes in the tidal prism, increases in rainfall and fluvial flow will also affect the current pattern of intertidal exposure.
