Introduction ïòï Ѫ»®ª·»© ±º Ю±¶»½¬ It is proposed to upgrade the existing N11 and N25 roads between Oilgate, Co. Wexford and Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford. At the northern extent of the scheme the road will connect into the end of proposed N11 Enniscorthy Bypass at Oilgate and will link to Rosslare Europort at the southern extent. The project is currently at route selection stage, whereby an assessment is being undertaken to identify the preferred route option. The potential for the proposed route options to impact on the designated European sites primarily arise due to the requirement for each route option to cross over the Slaney River Valley Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) and the Wexford Harbour and Slobs Special Protection Area (SPA), by way of a bridge. Due to the fact that all of the proposed route options have the potential to impact on the Slaney River Valley Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) and the Wexford Harbour and Slobs Special Protection Area (SPA), an Appropriate Assessment is required under Article 6, paragraph (3) of Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (commonly referred to as the Habitats Directive). The Appropriate Assessment is undertaken to ascertain if any of the route options have the potential to have a significant effect on the designated conservation sites, either individually or in combination with other developments. ïòî Ô»¹·•´¿¬·ª» Þ¿½µ¹®±«²¼ Article 6, paragraph (3) of the Habitats Directive requires

The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

Hydrological models can provide estimates of streamflow pre- and post- observations, which enable greater understanding of past hydrological behaviour, and potential futures. In this paper, a new multi-objective calibration method was derived and tested for 303 catchments in the UK, and the calibrations were used to reconstruct river flows back to 1891, 15 in order to provide a much longer view of past hydrological variability, given the brevity of most UK river flow records which began post-1960. A Latin Hypercube sample of 500,000 parameterisations for the GR4J model for each catchment were evaluated against six evaluation metrics covering all aspects of the flow regime from high, median and low flows.

  • What's Happening on the M4 Project During January?
    Upgrade to smart motorway Junction 3 to 12 January 2019 news bulletin Happy New Year and welcome to the first monthly information bulletin of 2019. This year will see a step up in the project as we move forward with bridges and structures work and prepare for the start of phase 2 of construction between Junctions 8/9 at Maidenhead and Junction 3 at Hayes. Our public engagement for this year is currently being organised. In March and April 2019 we will be holding the next set of Public Information Events for areas between junctions 8/9 to 3. Watch this space for information about these in the next bulletin. We are now moving into the new office and compound near Junction 10 which recently finished construction. The new compound will allow us to store the vast majority of our equipment and materials and reduce the need for large local compounds. It will also provide space for vehicle rescue and recovery facilities for users of the M4. What’s happening on the M4 project during January? Phase two of construction starts in 2019 M4 overnight closures during January Phase one of the project started in July 2018 and There are several overnight full closures (usually 22:00 comprises the area west from Junctions 8/9 leading to to 05:00) currently planned in January. The best way to Junction 12. While this is a significant piece of work in keep up to date with the various closures, including slip itself, phase two covering Junctions 8/9 eastwards into road closures, is the Traffic England website at: London and Junction 3 is a much more complex www.trafficengland.com.

  • Site Synopsis
    SITE SYNOPSIS SITE NAME: SLANEY RIVER VALLEY SITE CODE: 000781 This site comprises the freshwater stretches of the Slaney as far as the Wicklow Mountains; a number of tributaries the larger of which include the Bann, Boro, Glasha, Clody, Derry, Derreen, Douglas and Carrigower Rivers; the estuary at Ferrycarrig and Wexford Harbour. The site flows through the counties of Wicklow, Wexford and Carlow. Towns along the site but not in it are Baltinglass, Hacketstown, Tinahely, Tullow, Bunclody, Camolin, Enniscorthy and Wexford. The river is up to 100 m wide in places and is tidal at the southern end from Edermine Bridge below Enniscorthy. In the upper and central regions almost as far as the confluence with the Derry River the geology consists of granite. Above Kilcarry Bridge, the Slaney has cut a gorge into the granite plain. The Derry and Bann Rivers are bounded by a narrow line of uplands which corresponds to schist outcrops. Where these tributaries cut through this belt of hard rocks they have carved deep gorges, more than two miles long at Tinahely and Shillelagh. South of Kildavin the Slaney flows through an area of Ordovician slates and grits. The site is a candidate SAC selected for alluvial wet woodlands, a priority habitat on Annex I of the E.U. Habitats Directive. The site is also selected as a candidate SAC for floating river vegetation, estuaries, tidal mudflats and old oak woodlands, all habitats listed on Annex I of the E.U. Habitats Directive. The site is further selected for the following species listed on Annex II of the same directive - Sea Lamprey, River Lamprey, Brook Lamprey, Freshwater Pearl Mussel, Twaite Shad, Atlantic Salmon and Otter.
