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.

The Culm Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

    Otri River Wood Cornwall Tucked away in a peaceful valley twixt a small stream is this picturesque conifer woodland with a private parking area and shelter with fine views. Details Local manager Price: £45,000 Freehold Stuart Brooking Location: Lewannick, Near Launceston, Cornwall 07801 789215 or 01392 436229 Size: Over 5 ½ acres for sale [email protected] OS Landranger: OS No 109 Grid ref: SX 288 809 Nearest post code: PL15 7QQ Description Otri River Wood is approached by taking the well-made track which runs along the southern boundary, passes along another area of private woodland and then bends round to the right. From the point where the track enters Otri River Wood, the woodland extends to both sides of the track providing good access for amenity enjoyment and woodland management. To the left is an area of mature conifers and broadleaves with a stream along the northern boundary. It is easy to identify places where red and roe deer regularly cross the stream. There is a picnic bench here to enjoy this quiet location. The woodland floor in this part of the wood is a typical mix of bluebells and wild garlic. Also running across this section, almost parallel to the track, is a mill leat which at one time carried water to drive the wheel at Trelaske Mill, some 1.5 miles or so to the east. The stream goes on to join the River Inny where otters are a frequent visitors. The River Inny is a tributary of the River Tamar alongside the River Ottery or 'Otri' in Cornish reflecting the habitation of the otter.

This programme is integrated with the effluent discharge compliance assessment programme, Samples are taken not only of a significant discharge but also of the receiving water immediately upstream of the discharge and at the edge of the mixing zone downstream of the discharge. The 1992 programme has several purposes, such as: - identifying any impact by the discharge on the receiving waters. - characterising upstream water quality. - providing a database against which change can be measured.
