Flowing easterly for 24 kilometres, the River Tud descends 55 metres before its confluence with the River Wensum. Average river gradient is therefore 2.29 metres km-1. Two physical barriers exist along the watercourse: one between the Berry Hall and A47 sites while the other lies between Hill Farm and Costessey gravel works. Both barriers are classed as moderate to fish migration. Figure 1: Location of the River Tud, Catchment, 8 survey sites and recommended fishing sites 2012. Results for fish caught over 99 mm fork-length (FL) from the eight sites shown on the map form the basis of this report, Surveys took place between May and June, 2012 using PDC electro-fishing methodology. Only data for fish over 99 mm FL are analysed in depth as electro-fishing is inefficient below this band. Thirteen fish species caught during the surveys constitute the River Tud Piscean community in 2012. Brown Trout account for 68 % of the 584 individual fish caught throughout the surveys. Mean overall fish density (number of fish in an area) of 13.9 individuals 100 m-2 recorded in 2012 is marginally lower than the 2009 value of 14.1 individuals 100 m-2. Mean Trout density recorded in 2012 (8.9 individuals 100 m-2) increased by 29% compared to the 2009 value (6.9 individuals 100 m-2) and is the highest value recorded to date. Eel density in 2012 (0.20 individuals 100 m-2) shows a reduction of 46% compared to 2009 (0.46 individuals 100 m-2). The average standing crop (weight of fish in a given area) decreased from the 2009 value of 1444 g 100 m-2 to the 2012 value of 1188 g 100 m-2 ; a reduction of 17%.

  • River Wensum SSSI - Exemplar Diffuse Water Pollution Plan and Action Plan
    Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) – Planning for the Future IPENS001a River Wensum SSSI - Exemplar Diffuse Water Pollution Plan and Action Plan River Wensum SAC First published 04 September 2015 www.gov.uk/government/publications/improvement-programme-for- englands-natura-2000-sites-ipens This project is part of the IPENS programme (LIFE11NAT/UK/000384IPENS) which is financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community’. Foreword The Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 sites (IPENS), supported by European Union LIFE+ funding, is a new strategic approach to managing England’s Natura 2000 sites. It is enabling Natural England, the Environment Agency, and other key partners to plan what, how, where and when they will target their efforts on Natura 2000 sites and areas surrounding them. As part of the IPENS programme, we are identifying gaps in our knowledge and, where possible, addressing these through a range of evidence projects. The project findings are being used to help develop our Theme Plans and Site Improvement Plans. This report is one of the evidence project studies we commissioned. Water pollution has been identified as one of the top three issues in all Natura 2000 rivers. It also affects many terrestrial and some marine and coastal Natura 2000 sites. Diffuse Water Pollution (DWP) Plans are a joint Natural England and Environment Agency tool used to plan and agree strategic action in relation to diffuse pollution at the catchment-scale. They are the most frequently identified mechanism for improving water quality on Natura 2000 sites. To enable effective targeting of measures DWP plans should be detailed, well evidenced and spatially specific to the catchment.

    NORFOLK BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN Ref 1/S12 Tranche 1 Species Action Plan 12 WHITE-CLAWED CRAYFISH Plan Author: Environment Agency (Austropotamobius pallipes) Plan Co-ordinator: Environment Agency This is a lobster-like crustacean that grows to Plan Leader: Waterbodies Group about 12cm (5 inches) long. They mainly live in Date: Stage: clean flowing water and are mostly active by 31 December 1998 Final Draft night. February 2002 Final Revised Draft 1. CURRENT STATUS National Status • White-clawed crayfish is the only native species of freshwater crayfish in the UK. It is widespread in clean, calcareous streams, rivers and lakes in England and Wales and occurs in a few areas in Northern Ireland, but many populations have been lost since the 1970s. The species is listed in Appendix III of the Bern Convention and Annexes II and V of the EC Habitats Directive. It is classed as globally threatened by IUCN/WCMC. It is also protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act in respect to taking from the wild and sale, and is proposed for addition to Schedule 5 of the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985. Norfolk Status • White-clawed crayfish are found in the Rivers Wensum, Tat, Bure, Glaven and Yare. 2. CURRENT FACTORS CAUSING LOSS OR DECLINE IN NORFOLK • The habitat required by this species is very vulnerable to modifications through the management of rivers and changes in water quality. • White-clawed crayfish are out-competed by non-native crayfish (eg signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus) In Norfolk, signal crayfish are known to be present in the River Wensum, Reepham Tributary and River Yare.

The character area is defined primarily by the distinctive land cover of arable fields interspersed with blocks of mixed plantation woodland and areas of heathland and grassland. It is bounded by the more continuous forest cover of Thetford Forest to the south, by the Wissey Valley to the west and by the Thet Valley to the east, with the elevated plateau landscape marking the northern extent. Key Characteristics • A gently undulating landscape with glacial drift deposits of sand, clay and gravel. Topography ranges from 20 – 55m AOD. • Free draining sandy soils support a functional landscape of arable cultivation and plantation woodland. • Large tracts of heathland and grassland survive within the extensive MOD land holdings at Stanford Training Ground (SSSI (SAC)), in the western half of the character area. • Groundwater dependent meres at East Wretham Heath and the Stanta Training Area are internationally significant – unique hydrogeological features fed by base- rich groundwater with no inflowing or outflowing streams.
