The actions published in the LEAP are supplemental to our everyday work on monitoring, surveying and regulating to protect the environment. Some of the key achievements on our everyday work include: i) In September 1998 Michael Clapham MP officially opened the Bullhouse Minewater Treatment Plant. The scheme is a pioneering £1.2m partnership project funded by European Commission, Coal Authority, Environment Agency, Hepworths Building Products, Barnsley MBC and Yorkshire Water. Within one week a visible reduction could be seen in ochre levels in the River Don, after more than 100 years of pollution. ii) Monckton Coke and Chemical Company have successfully commissioned a combined heat and power plant, costing approximately £7 million.

Advisory Visit Porter Brook, South Yorkshire 13/09/11
Advisory Visit Porter Brook, South Yorkshire 13/09/11 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Paul Gaskell of the Wild Trout Trust to the Porter Brook on 13 th September, 2011. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with David Sorsby, local resident and conservationist. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 1.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Porter Brook is part of the River Don catchment in South Yorkshire, rising as a spring on the moorland at Clough Hollow. Local geology is dominated by millstone grit and coal measures. From its source just inside the Peak District National Park, the stream becomes steadily more urbanised and modified along its course – particularly from the B6069 road bridge onwards. Although a relatively small and narrow stream, its steep gradient (falling approx. 300m over a 6.5-km course) made it an ideal source of water power. Historically, some 21 mill dams have been constructed along its length, and there are additional barriers to fish migration produced by engineering modifications to the channel. The most extensive of such modifications include the below-ground culverting of the stream in Sheffield city centre. In fact, the Porter Brook and the River Sheaf have their subterranean confluence directly beneath Sheffield Midland Railway station. There are no angling club interests on the heavily urbanised 800-m section of the Porter Brook (Fig.

Waterways & Standing Water
Waterways & Standing Water Headlines • Sheffield’s rivers and the quality of their waters have undergone vast improvements in recent decades, resulting in a substantial increase in biodiversity. • The current ecological status of Sheffield’s rivers is variable; assessments conducted by the Environment Agency show that most stretches are of an overall moderate status. Quality improves with increasing distance from central industrialised areas. • Otter and several fish species have now returned to the Don as a result of improving water quality and the installation of fish passes. Twenty-six out of 31 species of fish historically found on the Don have now recolonised the river. • Reservoirs, such as Redmires, have proved hugely important for many species of breeding birds including curlew, golden plover and snipe. • Local ponds provide important habitats for species such as great crested newts and dragonflies and many have benefitted from recent restoration work. Dragonfly diversity has significantly increased, partly due to improvements in water quality and associated emergent waterside vegetation. • Threats to Sheffield’s waterways and wetlands include pollution, physical modification of the river and invasive species. Non-native invasive species which have a stronghold on Sheffield’s river systems include Japanese knotweed, Himalayan balsam, signal crayfish and American mink. • Several organisations are involved in the ownership and management of the waterways and there are successful examples of partnership working. Key non-native invasive plants are the focus of ongoing conservation management aimed to control their spread.

River Response to Recent Environmental Change in the Yorkshire Ouse Basin, Northern England
River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. Sean Anthony Longfield, B.Sc. (H ons) 'N/ Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Geography July 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the w'ork of others II A b s t r a c t Longfield, S.A. 1998. River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. University of Leeds, Ph.D. This study examines historical variations in flood frequency and magnitude in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England, over the last 900 years. The causes of temporal and spatial variations in flooding are evaluated through investigation of climatic and land-use controls. Documentary evidence of flooding and climate suggests that a series of large floods between 1263 and 1360 were associated with climatic deterioration from the Medieval Optimum. A shift to generally milder conditions between 1361 and 1549 resulted in no floods being documented in the Ouse basin The frequency of large magnitude floods increased dramatically between 1550 and 1680, as a result of low temperatures, increased surface wetness, more frequent snowfall and a southward shift of prevailing storm tracks over middle latitudes, associated with the onset of the "Little Ice Age’. In contrast, during a wanner phase of the Little Ice Age, between 1681 and 1763, the frequency of localised summer flooding increased in the Ouse basin due to more frequent high intensity, short duration convective storms.
