However no agreements in relation to the Project will mention has been made detailing how sewage would be conveyed from these be sought at the appropriate time. buildings. If a foul sewer system is to be included within the lagoon construction, consideration would have to be given to where this would connect to the main sewerage network. Currently there is no foul sewer system within the ABP land at the western landfall. A new foul sewer system, designed to serve the under construction University of Swansea Science and Innovation campus, will be in place at the eastern landfall. A feasibility study, in conjunction with DCWW would need to be undertaken and Planning Policy Wales advocates that connection to the foul sewer network is a priority in these circumstances. We note paragraph 4.3.5.13 refers to the location of the Eastern landfill An Eastern Landfall building will no longer 2.

Every effort has been 4. The sections of the report need to be linked. Some effects have been identified in made to link the relevant sections of the one section but not recognised potentially affecting another e.g. effects of the document. lagoon on the herring spawning area could have a negative effect on both harbour porpoise and great crested grebe. The bay needs to be treated as a whole ecosystem and with the effect of the changes to each part described in the other parts. Effects which may be additive also need to be discussed e.g. increase in wave height and changes to sediment type. Some of the conclusions are based on a four point scale certain, probable, unlikely and extremely unlikely. Unlikely is defined as having a probability of happening of between 5% and 50%. This means that an event could have a probability of happening of 49% and be described as unlikely, this could be misleading. The potential long term effect of construction need to be described in more detail, it for instance possible for there to be a year on year change in sediment distribution and levels which could be deleterious. Due to the potential negative effect on two nationally important sites, Crymlyn Chapter 6 has been updated to include 5. Burrows and Black Pill there must be a very high degree of confidence in the further consideration of medium and modelling of sediment movement in order to evaluate any impact on them. There long term effects on morphology. may be long term accumulative changes to the beach sediment patterns, these needs to be assessed. It is also possible a small change in e.g. wave height could have a disproportionate effect on a sensitive habitat this is not discussed in the report there is an assumption that because the wave height increase is small the effect of this is also small this is not necessarily correct. 18/12/13 The offshore processes chapter concludes that there will be a loss

  • Letter from the Minister for Environment
    Lesley Griffiths AS/MS Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs Mick Antoniw MS Chair of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee [email protected] 18 September 2020 Dear Mick, Further to my attendance at Committee on 14 September, I agreed to provide a definitive list of the installations in Wales captured by the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020. I also agreed to request information from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) on how it may use authorised persons to monitor compliance on its behalf and on NRW’s position regarding what would be considered reasonable prior notice, with detail of the average time used previously. A definitive list of the installations which will be captured by the Order is attached, based on the current database of Welsh installations participating in the EU Emissions Trading System. The list details whether it is a participant in the main scheme (indicated by GHG) or one of the opt-outs and the activity or activities undertaken at the installation which requires a permit under this scheme. With regards to the use of authorised persons, NRW have responded as follows: “This power provides regulators with flexibility in terms of access to and use of specialist resources. The regulator has a statutory duty to determine emissions where an operator has failed to do so and these powers enable a regulator to appoint an agent (e.g. a verifier), perhaps with specialist process knowledge, to visit premises to gather information to calculate emissions. We envisage use of this power would occur rarely and most likely in circumstances where an operator refuses to submit emissions information”.

Companies that produce large capital products (LCP), such as rockets, satellites, or large gas turbines to generate electrical energy, tend to shy away from extending their testing and validation method above the requirements by law, mainly due to the very high costs of each additional test and the uncertain return on investment.

  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.

The most common, B. neritina, was known from a few sites in southern Britain and northern France during the 20th century, following its discovery at Plymouth by 1911. During the 1950-60s it was abundant in a dock heated by power station effluent at Swansea, south Wales, where it flourished until the late 1960s, while water temperatures were 7-10°C above ambient. It disappeared after power generation ceased, when summer temperatures probably became insufficient to support breeding. Details of disappearances have not been recorded but B. neritina was not seen in Britain between c1970 and 1999.

PL.19.016 Land at Picketmead – 2019/1865/FUL The meeting was suspended to allow members of the public to speak on the application. The background to the planning applications for the development of the land at Picketmead over many years was outlined along with the recent changes made in the latest planning application which fail to address reasons for the previous application being refused or the technical planning issues raised by the objectors. The meeting was re-convened. RECOMMENDED that Mumbles Community Council should object to this planning application on the following grounds Page 1 of 5 Planning Sub-Committee Minutes 12 February 2020 CHAIR’S SIGNATURE 1) The proposed development by virtue of its height, scale and design fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Newton Conservation Area. 2) The proposed development by virtue of its density, scale and design is overbearing and detrimental to the residential amenities of adjoining properties.
