It encompasses a number of drought management options that will only be implemented if and when required and includes drought permit options. A drought permit is a management action that, if granted, can allow more flexibility to manage water resources and the effects of drought on public water supply and the environment. The objective of this report is to provide an independent and robust assessment of the potential environmental effects of implementing a drought permit at the Afon Lwyd, over and above those arising due to natural effects of drought and those which would occur under "normal" abstraction licence conditions. Afon Lwyd is located in Welsh Water’s South-East Wales Conjunctive Use System (SEWCUS) Water Resource Zone (WRZ) which covers the large conurbations of Cardiff and Newport as well as the towns and villages of the South Wales valleys as far west as the Rhondda Valley and as far east as Chepstow. The Afon Llwyd is a component of the River Usk SAC / SSSI therefore consideration has been given to the potential impacts of drought permit implementation on the features and species of these designated sites. The assessment also considers how the proposed drought permit may affect the environment in combination with the effects of other existing abstraction licences, environmental permits and other drought management plans. This report is a ‘shelf-copy’ report which would be updated to support an application to Natural Resources Wales for a drought permit at the Afon Lwyd, which may be required by Welsh Water in the future. PROPOSED DROUGHT PERMIT DETAILS In order to protect public water supplies within Welsh Water’s SEWCUS WRZ in the event of a future severe drought, Welsh Water would make an application to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for a drought permit to vary the conditions of abstraction from the Afon Lwyd. If granted, the drought permit involves a new, unsupported emergency river abstraction of up to 12Ml/d from a temporary intake at New Inn on the Afon Lwyd, for Ricardo Energy & Environment Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Environmental Assessment of Afon Lwyd Drought Permit (8109-4) Final transfer either to Llandegfedd Reservoir or direct to Sluvad WTW. To enable the abstraction, a low, temporary weir constructed of sandbags, would be required across the Afon Lwyd. A modest volume of water would be available from this drought permit scheme during a drought, and there is benefit to supply locally through provision of an immediate additional water resource to an existing WTW. The drought permit is most likely to occur during the summer and autumn period, and is considered not to extend outside the period September to November. This has been confirmed by Welsh Water’s water resources modelling. The revised abstraction arrangements would legally be authorised for three months but would be removed sooner if water resources have returned to adequate levels to safeguard future water supplies, as agreed with the Welsh Ministers / NRW. NEED FOR THE DROUGHT PERMIT Application for a drought permit is a precautionary approach. Due to the time needed to determine a drought permit application, Welsh Water will potentially apply for a drought permit more frequently than it will be used. The justification for the drought permit sought will be set out in a “Needs Statement”. This will be produced by Welsh Water at the time of a potential future application, and will form part of the full drought permit application. ALTERNATIVE SOURCES CONSIDERED Details of alternative sources considered by Welsh Water will be completed at the time of application for the drought permit at the Afon Lwyd. This will demonstrate justification for the proposed drought option details applied for. POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF DROUGHT PERMIT IMPLEMENTATION The scope of the assessment has been defined by a screening and scoping exercise. Summary of the Hydrological Assessment The assessment has concluded that there is a minor impact on flows in headwater streams and a major impact on flows in the Afon Lwyd as a result of implementing the drought permit. These hydrological impacts are assessed as leading to negligible impacts on the physical environment of the river, including water quality. Summary of the Environmental Features Screening Environmental assessment is required and included for features where screening has identified a major or moderate impact. Ricardo Energy & Environment Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Environmental Assessment of Afon Lwyd Drought Permit (8109-4) Final Screening identified River Usk SAC/SSSI, notable fish species, WFD status and Community Assessment / Environment (Wales) Act Section 7 Species, landscape and visual amenity and recreation as environmental features for which an environmental assessment was required. The assessment has concluded that there are major impacts on fish, moderate impacts on macrophytes, white-clawed crayfish, macroinvertebrates and phytobenthos and minor impacts on the Lower Usk SSSI. The HRA Screening could not conclude that implementation of a drought permit would not result in likely significant effects on Atlantic populations within the River Usk SAC. Cumulative Impacts No cumulative effects of implementing the drought permit with other existing licences, consents and plans are currently anticipated. However, this should be reviewed at the time of any future application for a drought permit at the Afon Lwyd. MITIGATION AND MONITORING The environmental assessment has identified significant impacts of implementation of a drought permit at the Afon Lwyd. Consequently, in line with the DPG, an Environmental Monitoring Plan has been proposed. Potential mitigation measures have also been proposed and further discussion with NRW is required in order to develop suitable mitigation measures. CONCLUSIONS In summary, it has been concluded that the environmental effects on river flows, water quality and ecology of implementing a drought permit at the Afon Lwyd during September to November inclusive, over and above those conditions that already exist under "normal", i.e. licensed, baseline conditions, with the onset of a natural drought, would be major.

It states: “That the Council will only retain or acquire properties that are sufficient, suitable and sustainable in the delivery of its corporate plan priorities and will prioritise the use of its capital and revenue budgets accordingly. Property resources that are surplus to, unsuitable or unsustainable in the delivery of Corporate Plan priorities will be considered for disposal at best consideration”. 1.2 Whilst this policy relates to Council owned buildings and land it is deemed appropriate and good practice to include the highway assets that Torfaen County Borough Council maintain in its role as a Highway Authority. To ensure that the Council apply the same principles to both assets the following Highway Asset Management Policy is to be placed before the Torfaen County Borough Council Cabinet in 2019.
