  • Contaminated Land Is Affecting Controlled Waters and Their Quality, and Where the Environment Agency Will Also Have Other Concerns Under Other Legislation
    APPENDIX 1 Geology and Mineral Resources South Gloucestershire extends from the Severn Estuary in the East to the Cotswolds to the west. Geologically the area is very varied, having representations of nearly every Geological System exposed at the surface, the exceptions being the Ordovician and Cretaceous. Generally the older Palaeozoic rocks are exposed in the centre of South Gloucestershire, with younger Mesozoic rocks to the east and north- east. More recent estuarine alluvial deposits cover the Lowlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary in the west. In landscape terms much of South Gloucestershire is anomalous in that the outcrops of older and harder Palaeozoic rocks do not form uplands but are characterised by low undulating terrain. This is because much of the area formed part of an ancient erosion surface which was reduced to a low relief before the deposition of the Mesozoic strata. It is therefore the younger rocks, most notably limestones of Jurassic age, which form the highest land of South Gloucestershire, that being the Cotswold escarpment to the east. - 88 - Figure 3 - Simplified Geology of South Gloucestershire showing sites of mineral extraction - 89 - The alluvial flatlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary are extensive and form a distinctly contrasting landscape to that of the central and eastern parts of South Gloucestershire. Flat pastures predominate, bounded by drainage ditches, known locally as ‘rhines’. Rarely does the land in this area rise above 6 metres AOD. Nearly all the rivers west of the Cotswold scarp flow into the Severn Estuary, whereas those which follow the dip slope to the east, other than the Bristol Avon which detours to the west, join the River Thames.
