Planning permission expires 21st February 2047. Site area: 729 ha. Site Description: The Fal Operational Area, covering approximately 729ha, is an active mineral site within the St Austell China Clay Area operated by Imerys Minerals (UK) Limited. The extraction of china clay is undertaken within the 3 pits of Wheal Remfry, Melbur and Virginia. Large quantities of mineral waste which arises from these pits continues to be deposited on the surface tips of Gaverigan and Scarcewater. Clay is extracted in both dry and wet forms with the former being processed on site in the dry mining plant with the later pumped to settling tanks located to the south of the operational area. The site remains busy, with ongoing extraction, disposal, restoration and aftercare operations. Tipping operations continue on both the Scarcewater and Gaverigan Tips and a large area of woodland has been undertaken on the western side of Scarcewater Tip along with the construction of the hedges in the eastern section of this area.

The Natural England Board confirmation report is attached at Annex 1. 2 Recommendation 2.1 The Board is asked to: • approve confirmation of the notification of Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI with modifications to the boundary (to remove 10 areas of land totalling 3.83 ha) and the citation. The recommended confirmed area of the SSSI is 1,653.27 ha. The documents recommended for confirmation are at section 3 of Annex 1. 3 Report 3.1 Background 3.1.1 Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI was notified on 23 February 2017 under section 28C of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. On the same day, notices were served under section 28D of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 proposing to remove the SSSI notifications (de-notification) from parts of the previously notified Breney Common SSSI, Goss and Tregoss Moors SSSI and Red Moor SSSI. There are no unresolved objections to the de-notification proposals so these will be approved for confirmation by the Director of Strategy Implementation acting under delegated authority.

Compliance was assessed at all sites against the quality criterion for each determinand relevant to the River Water Quality Objective (RQO) of that site. The criterion are shown in Table 1. A dashed line in the schedule indicates no samples failed to comply.

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.

The Wheal Martyn SSSI is a small, artificially created, outcrop of unkaolinized granite; selected to demonstrate the typical parent granite which, if kaolinized, would yield good quality china clay. Geologists involved with the china clay industry have long thought that it would be worth placing a series of boulders alongside the SSSI in order to demonstrate the wide range of the rock types to be found in china clay pits. Twelve boulders, weighing up to two tonnes, have now been brought to the site.

Davies National Rivers A h ority Environmental Protection Manager South West Region RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND 1. INTRODUCTION River water quality is monitored in 34 catchments in the region. Samples are collected at a minimum frequency of once a month from 422 watercourses at 890 locations within the Regional Monitoring Network. Each sample is analysed for a range of chemical and physical determinands. These sample results are stored in the Water Quality Archive. A computerised system assigns a quality class to each monitoring location and associated upstream river reach. This report contains the results of the 1992 river water quality classifications for each determinand used in the classification process. 2. RIVER WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The assessment of river water quality is by comparison of current water quality against River Quality Objectives (RQO's) which have been set for many river lengths in the region. Individual determinands have been classified in accordance with the requirements of the National Water Council (NWC) river classification system which identifies river water quality as being one of five classes as shown in Table 1 below: TABLE 1 NATIONAL WATER COUNCIL - CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CLASS DESCRIPTION 1A Good quality IB Lesser good quality 2 Fair quality 3 Poor quality 4 Bad quality The classification criteria used for attributing a quality class to each criteria are shown in Appendix 1.

CleanEarth (CE) are proposing to submit a planning application for a single turbine development on land at East Karslake, Imerys, Cornwall, PL26 7XS. CE seeks to gain a formal screening opinion and formal pre-planning consultee comments for this site. The provisional turbine locations are shown in drawings CE3405-SC-TL-01 and CE3405-SC-SL-01. CE has provided a detailed description of the project and evaluated this against Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations to support our screening request. 1. The Development The proposal is to install a single turbine of maximum tip height 135m, with a 3-bladed rotor design. Due to constant industry developments, the turbine model has yet to be finalised. Supplementary elements include two permanent switchgear housing units (approx. 4m x 4m x 3m), temporary access track, underground cabling, and temporary crane hard standing area (approx. 45m x 65m). CE looks to develop sites that have reduced environmental impacts considering proximity, noise and visual amenity to ‘sensitive receptors’ (residential dwellings), ecological constraints, existing infrastructure, and locally designated areas and features. 1.1 Installation The turbine and other components would be delivered to the site by an articulated lorry.
