15 Road Drainage and the Water Environment
HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 15 ROAD DRAINAGE AND THE WATER ENVIRONMENT 15.1 Introduction 15.1.1 This chapter assesses the impacts of the Scheme on road drainage and the water environment during construction and operation, focussing on the effects of highway drainage on the quality and hydrology of receiving waters. In view of the long design-life of the Scheme (30 years for new gantries, 40 years for new carriageway construction, and 120 years for new bridges), the decommissioning phase of the Scheme has not been considered in this chapter because its effects are not predicted to be worse than the effects assessed during the construction and operational phases. The chapter assesses four principal impacts: a) effects of routine runoff on surface water bodies; b) effects of routine runoff on groundwater; c) pollution impacts from spillages; and d) flood impacts. 15.1.2 Although Interim Advice Note (”IAN”) 161/13 ‘Managed Motorways, All lane running’ (Ref 15-1) has scoped out the assessment of ‘Road Drainage and the Water Environment’ for smart motorway schemes, the assessment is required to ensure the protection of the water environment, to prevent its degradation, and ensure adequate mitigation measures are in place to prevent any adverse impacts. 15.1.3 The road drainage and water environment assessment for the Scheme has been undertaken in accordance with standard industry practice and statutory guidance. 15.1.4 This chapter details the methodology followed for the assessment, and summarises the regulatory and policy framework relating to road drainage and the water environment.

On this occasion, so much is happening that I don’t have time to even think about the weather. First of all, we have been debating the rising costs of posting our newsletter to members to whom we cannot deliver by hand, and we have been experimenting with other methods of distribution, as well as reviewing some of the hand delivery rounds.

Sediment Impact Anaysis for the Lower Thames Flood Strategy Study
PROCEEDINGS of the Eighth Federal Interagency Sedimentation Conference (8thFISC), April2-6, 2006, Reno, NV, USA SEDIMENT IMPACT ANAYSIS FOR THE LOWER THAMES FLOOD STRATEGY STUDY Ian M Tomes, SE Area Flood Risk Manager, Environment Agency (Thames Region), Frimley, Surrey, UK, [email protected]; Oliver P. Harmar, Consultant Geomorphologist, Halcrow Group, Leeds, UK, [email protected]; Colin R. Thorne, Professor of Physical Geography, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK, [email protected], INTRODUCTION Sediment impact assessment was performed during the Lower Thames Flood Strategy Study to assess the geomorphological sustainability of river-bed re-profiling to reduce flood risk in the reach between Datchet and Teddington. The specific objectives of the sediment study were to: i. estimate how much sediment is likely to be deposited in, or eroded from, the study reach by flows up to and including long return interval flood events for ‘do minimum’ and ‘bed reprofiling’ options that would lower the bed by 0.5 to 1 m; ii. estimate an average annual rate of sedimentation for the ‘do minimum’ and ‘bed reprofiling’ options. MORPHOLOGY OF THE RIVER THAMES The study reach of the River Thames has the characteristics of a mature, lowland river with well developed meanders and reaches divided by stable, mid-channel islands. The movement of water and sediment along the river has been controlled by locks and weirs for over a century. These structures present obstructions to the natural movement of sediment and dredging was, historically, required to maintain a navigable channel. The banks along much of the navigable river have been stabilised by revetment and, therefore, the river is unable to adjust its planform.
