  • River Water Quality 1992 Classification by Determinand
    N f\A - S oo-Ha (jO$*\z'3'Z2 Environmental Protection Final Draft Report RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND May 1993 Water Quality Technical Note FWS/93/005 Author: R J Broome Freshwater Scientist NRA CV.M. Davies National Rivers A h ority Environmental Protection Manager South West Region RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND 1. INTRODUCTION River water quality is monitored in 34 catchments in the region. Samples are collected at a minimum frequency of once a month from 422 watercourses at 890 locations within the Regional Monitoring Network. Each sample is analysed for a range of chemical and physical determinands. These sample results are stored in the Water Quality Archive. A computerised system assigns a quality class to each monitoring location and associated upstream river reach. This report contains the results of the 1992 river water quality classifications for each determinand used in the classification process. 2. RIVER WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The assessment of river water quality is by comparison of current water quality against River Quality Objectives (RQO's) which have been set for many river lengths in the region. Individual determinands have been classified in accordance with the requirements of the National Water Council (NWC) river classification system which identifies river water quality as being one of five classes as shown in Table 1 below: TABLE 1 NATIONAL WATER COUNCIL - CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CLASS DESCRIPTION 1A Good quality IB Lesser good quality 2 Fair quality 3 Poor quality 4 Bad quality The classification criteria used for attributing a quality class to each criteria are shown in Appendix 1.

The current NLO limits the number of nets to a maximum of fifteen. It expires on 25 February 2003. 1.2 When the current NLO was confirmed by the Minister in February 2000, he asked the Agency to consider the need for additional measures to reduce exploitation of the River Dart salmon stock. We have now updated our stock assessment, and taken account of the effect of new national byelaws, reductions in fishing effort and catch and release. 1.3 The main improvement in our stock assessment has been the estimation of annual rod exploitation rates for spawning target compliance assessment. This has resulted in a significant change in the performance of the River Dart salmon stock over the last ten years. 1.4 Proposals are made for the future management of the Dart salmon fishery.

  • The Two Moors Way – Itinerary
    The Two Moors Way – Itinerary Day 1 Travel down to Devon. Arrive at campsite – The River Dart Country Park, Ashburton, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13 7NP. The campsite has a number of exciting facilities that we may be able to enjoy. There is a licensed bar and restaurant on site. www.riverdart.co.uk The rest of the day is at leisure Day 2 Wembury to Ivybridge South Devon provides a gentle introduction to the Coast to Coast Walk. On leaving the coast the walker can enjoy a pleasant exploration of the rolling fields and wooded valleys of the South Hams. The section from Wembury to Ivybridge follows easy and well-signed footpaths and bridlepaths. The way crosses the Yealm and later the Erme, before turning north through beautiful riverside meadows as the path passes close to Ermington, famed for its crooked church spire. Here the first glimpse of the southern slopes of Dartmoor – Western Beacon, rising high above the town of Ivybridge – will give walkers an idea of what lies in store. Approx. 14 miles Day 3 Ivybridge to Scorriton The first section of the official Two Moors Way, and the most testing on the whole route. The old Redlake Railway is followed for 6 miles north, through barren and lonely moorland. The route then traverses open country, crossing the River Avon via a 19th- century clapper bridge and passing Huntingdon Warren, where rabbits were farmed from the mid 13th century to the 1950s. The pretty village of Holne comes as welcome relief! Approx. 12 miles Day 4 Scorriton to Widdecombe A picturesque part of the route, dropping through woodland to cross the Dart at New Bridge (ice cream van at holiday times!).

  • Dewdon Manor
    DEWDON MANOR Introduction. This revises and expands my previous notes (of 3rd & 10th Dec. 2006) by drawing on significantly more information, particularly that in Mrs. C. D. Lineham’s published work in the Transactions of the Devonshire Association. Dave Dingley Jan. 2007. References. Lyson brothers (writing in the early 1800s): “Deandon, in Widecombe parish, gave its name to an ancient family, from whom it passed by female heirs to the Malets in the reign of H.III. Sir John Malet K.B. sold it about 1600. In 1748 Rawline Mallock, Esq. purchased the royalty of Dutton – no doubt corrupted from Deandon – Malet, and Dunsdon, in this parish, which royalty is now the property of Rev. Roger Mallock of Cockington.” A good early summary! [M] : Mallock Cockington before the restoration. Late 19th C. [L] : Lineham TDA 94 “A forgotten manor in Widecombe-in-the-Moor”. 1962. [L2] : Lineham in TDA 95. [P] : Postan Medieval economy and society. [N] : A. Malet. 1885: Notes for “Sir John Malet/Sibylla de Ct Cleere”, extracted from Bob’s Mallett’s website (See Appendix I below for a translation & App. II for a commentary). [T] : Testa de Nevil, AD 1244 (ex Reichel’s “Hundred of Haytor” in TDA 40). [F] : Feudal Aids, AD 1284-86. [H] : Hoskins Old Devon. DB = Domesday Book. Extent and origin. Domesday makes it clear that a 1-virgate holding existed as a sub-manor of Cockington, stuck right away from the parent manor upon the fringe of the Moor. My previous notes outlined how this small piece of colonisation may have been as a result of pioneer peasants working under encouragement from their lord due to an increasing hunger for land.

    A NOTE ON DARTMOOR, PLACE-NAMES. 3Y R,. IIANSX'ORD WORTH, M,fxsr.C.D., tr'.6.9. i(Read ai Bideford, 21Bt July, 192rj.) lTransacti,ons o/ tlte Deuonshire Association /or the Adtsanurnent o/ Science, Li,terature, ontl Art, 1996,-Yol, lviii, pp. 359-372.1 Tnn study of Place-names has been at one time enthusi- astically pursued, at another almost wholly neglected ; a science thus interrupted in its grov"bh is dwarfed in its accomplishment. Chief among the losses suffered, is an absence of restraint. Sciences, like men, have their wild oats to sow in youth; and the study of place-names has had its youth renewed so often that its harvest of indiscretion is prodigious. This makes it advisable, in considering the place-names of any district,, to adopt strict criteria of interpretation, and to rigid,Iy exclude, as valueless, all interpretations not conforming to such criteria. If a reasonable degree of certainty is to be attained,, it would a,ppear that the following requirements are none too exacting :- 1. The name should never be divorced from the place. None but those perfectly familiar with the geography of a place are qualifi.ed to attempt the problem of its name. 2. Of atl possibie interpretations, that whioh makes the name descriptive of the place as it stil exists, or as it is known to have existed within historic time, is the most probable, and should be preferred. 3, No violence should" be done to the forms of tho language in which the name is assumed" to have been framed.
