MSP -001 Marine and Special Projects May 1991. ■ ■ I Ravenglass Harbour Microbiological Survey April 9 1991 1. Introduction N.W.W. are considering options for the long term treatment and disposal of sewage from Seascale. One of the alternatives being considered is to transfer Seascale flows to the existing works at Drigg, which would be extended and secondary treatment provided. The existing Drigg works discharges to the tidal River Irt prior to its flowing into the enclosed Ravenglass Harbour. Ravenglass harbour is used extensively by pleasure craft, and contains a commercially worked shell-fishery. The present survey was carried out to determine the present level of bacterial contamination at Ravenglass. This would give some indication if the continued discharge of sewage {albeit treated) into the Irt is environmentally sound, as well as giving 'base-line' data. 2. Survey details The Hovercraft was used to take a representative grid of samples within Ravenglass Harbour as well the tidal sections of the three rivers which flow into Ravenglass - the Irt,Mite and Esk. The system was covered three times; just after high water, mid- tide and approaching low water. Positions were logged using a G.P.S. navigator, and should be accurate to +/- 30m. The speed of the Hovercraft is such that the samples taken on each run could normally be regarded as synoptic. On the first (high water) run, however, some temporary electrical problems with the hovercraft delayed its completion. Possible sources of bacterial contamination are: -the three non-tidal rivers -septic tank drainage, particularly from Drigg -the primary sewage treatment works at Drigg and Ravenglass local surface water drainage. Samples were taken fromt -from the two sewage works -the non-tidal rivers, simultaneously with the mid-tide run -a surface water drain which outfalls to the Mite just downstream from ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 134043 3. Survey results Samples were taken to NWW Kendal lab for analysis. All samples were analysed for total coliforms and E.coli, with faecal streptococci determined on a sub-set. Although this area is not designated under any E.C. regulations, it seemed appropriate to classify the waters against the bathing water directive, which would indicate the suitability for sailing and contact sports. The classification system is as under* class total coliforms E.coli note /100 ml poor >10,000 >2,000 fails EC limit good 500-10,000 100-2,000 EC mandatory limit excellent < 500 < 100 EC guidline limit There is a guideline value of 100 faecal streps/lOOml. There is no mandatory limit. The survey showed a low level of bacterial contamination throughout the system. Neither Drigg nor Ravenglass treatment works has a major impact on water quality. The Irt at the tidal limit is relatively more polluted than the Esk or the Mite. This is probably a reflection on the drainage from Drigg village. 4. Conclusions 1. There is a low level of bacterial contamination within Ravenglass harbour. 2. Use of the site at Drigg to build a new works to serve Seascale would seem to be worth investigating in more detail. 3. The surface drain to the Mite shows some evidence of bacterial contamination and should be investigated further.

    Directions to NDA in Respect of the Drigg Nuclear Site

    ENERGY ACT 2004 Directions to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (the NDA) in respect of the Drigg Nuclear Site Made under sections 3 and 16 of the Energy Act 2004 DRIGG SITE SUMMARY This summary is not part of the direction This summary is only intended to provide background information in respect of the Drigg Nuclear Site. It sets out the nature of the waste disposal, cleaning-up or decommissioning work that may be carried out on the site. However, subject to Ministerial agreement it is for the NDA, following consultation, to determine what the cleaning-up or decommissioning objectives for the site will be and to describe these objectives in its strategy. Under the Energy Act 2004 where the NDA has been given a responsibility it can secure the discharge of such responsibility by others. Operations at Drigg cover two separate work streams, the remediation of old magazines containing Plutonium Contaminated Material (PCM) and the ongoing disposal of Low Level Waste (LLW). In the 1940s Drigg was a Royal Ordnance Factory and the storage of PCM at Drigg between 1959 and 1967 is a legacy of early military operations at Windscale and other nuclear sites. This waste is now being packaged and despatched to the Engineered Drum Stores at Sellafield, before processing through the Waste Treatment Complex. In 1957 the site was developed for the disposal of LLW. The bulk of the material handled at Drigg comes from Sellafield, the rest is made up of materials from other BNFL sites, nuclear power stations, hospitals, research sites and other industries. The majority of waste are compacted and containerised before transfer to Drigg.

    Proposed Changes to the England Coast Path at Drigg, Cumbria Natural England’S Variation Report to the Secretary of State

    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath Proposed Changes to the England Coast Path at Drigg, Cumbria Natural England’s Variation Report to the Secretary of State Coastal Access Variation Report VR6 22nd August 2018 Purpose of this report Natural England has a statutory duty under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to improve access to the English coast. The duty is in two parts: one relating to securing a long-distance walking route around the coast; the other to creating an associated “margin” of land for the public to enjoy, either in conjunction with their access along the route line, or otherwise. On 28th September 2015 the Secretary of State approved Natural England’s proposals relating to Whitehaven to Silecroft in Cumbria. The public rights of access to this stretch have yet to commence. Since the approval of the report, it has become clear that changes are necessary to the route of the England Coast Path. This report contains Natural England’s proposals relating to those changes, which are at the following locations shown on the overview map below: • Drigg, south of Seascale In order for these proposed changes to come into force they must be approved by the Secretary of State. It is recommended that Natural England’s approved report relating to this stretch is read in conjunction with this report. In particular the Overview provides context to many of the issues discussed within this variation report. Protection of sensitive nature conservation features: Natural England’s approach to ensuring the protection of sensitive nature conservation features under the Coastal Access Programme is set out in section 4.9 of Coastal Access: Natural England’s Approved Scheme 2013.

    Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council

    Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council This is the submission on behalf of Waberthwaite & Corney Parish Council to the Boundary Commission for the Electoral Ward Boundaries in Mid and South Copeland. In identifying these wards, the following aspects and consideration were taken into consideration: Ease of access and communications for the public and public services The “sense of place” that these communities have had for decades Population density and appropriate numbers of elected members to the recommended ward boundaries The proposed naming of the wards, (Yellow = Mid Copeland, Blue = South West Copeland, Green = South East Copeland) gave consideration to reducing the possibility of conflict and or angst relating to historic terminology. They provide a logical description relating to the actual location to assist tourism and service providers. Mid Copeland (Yellow Area on the map) will include the Lake District National Park Authority Service Centre of Gosforth. There are many shops, restaurants, library and village hall. Mid Copeland links Seascale with its shops, supermarket, library, three churches, leisure facilities, primary school, surgery that covers down to Bootle, and railway station with the wider valley areas. The Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg is a major employer in the area and is sited close to the railway station. Within Holmrook there is a vehicle repair centre, a well‐stocked garage/local shop and an agricultural supplier/post office all based on the A595.This would be a two‐member ward South West Copeland (Blue area on the map) has the A595 running almost its full length. It has railway stations at Ravenglass (with access to Boot via the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway), Bootle and Silecroft.

  • Muncaster Parish Plan

    Muncaster Parish Plan

    MUNCASTER PARISH PLAN September 2007 Foreword Fellow Parishioners, The Muncaster Parish Plan was made possible by funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) through Voluntary Action Cumbria (VAC) and the willingness, dedication and commitment of members of the Parish Council to take on the task of producing it. So what is the Parish Plan and what is its purpose? Make known those issues that affect our community Identify and prioritise key issues within our community Produce an action plan to promote the changes that the community wants to see at local, district and county levels. Quite simply the plan gives everyone in our community an opportunity and a feel for what you the Parishioner wants. This process started by members of the Parish Council approaching all the groups and businesses within the Parish to ascertain specific ideas and questions that they wished to have included within the questionnaire. This proved to be a worth while exercise and gave us a real feel for how the plan would be shaped and received. Once the questionnaire was formulated, distributed to you and returned a long data-input process ensued and enabled us to extrapolate the information contained within. This document is a summary of the information gathered and the proposed actions to be taken. Details of the questionnaire responses and analysis of the data are available upon request to the Parish Clerk. The results of those processes are contained within this Plan and I commend it to you; after all it is YOUR plan and as such is owned by the Parish.
