Ribble LEAP 6 June 2000 Action Plan 2000-2005 THE LEAP PROCESS The Local Environment Agency Plan for the Ribble is produced on a five year cycle. In year one (1999) a consultation report was produced. This outlined what we felt were the key environmental issues in the area. This was then widely distributed and people and organisations had the opportunity to comment on the plan. We particularly encouraged people and organisations to identify areas where it is possible and sensible to work together to bring about real environmental improvements in the Ribble area. We received 161 written responses from 33 individuals or organisations. These informal comments have allowed us to develop this Action Plan. Over the next three years we will publish Annual Reviews to demonstrate our progress in carrying out these actions. c r The whole LEAP process benefits from the advice of the Area Environment Group. This consists of 21 members who live and work locally and advise us on how plans should be produced to meet the needs of local people and organisations. Ribble LEAP 7 June 2000 Action Plan 2000-2005 Vision for the Ribble LEAP Area O ur vision is: A better environment in England and Wales for present and future generations. This Action Plan explains how we intend to help bring about a better environment in the Ribble area over the next five years. We have specific responsibilities relating to improving the environment. We only have the authority and resources to plan for those matters which are related to our statutory duties and responsibilities. These responsibilities include managing and regulating the water environment, controlling waste management, regulating emissions from major industrial processes and contaminated land. We also have duties to protect and improve biodiversity, manage freshwater fisheries, to protect the landscape and heritage of land and to promote recreation. Throughout the Action Plan logos are used to identify the responsibilities that the actions relate to. Managing Water Resources & ' Delivering Integrated River Basin Management Managing Freshwater Fisheries if? Enhancing Biodiversity Managing Waste Improving Air Quality Addressing Climate Change LEAPs and other plans We share the regulation and management of the environment with others. Local Environment Agency Plans intend to complement and integrate with other plans such as Local Waste Plans, Local Air Quality Management Plans, Development Plans, Local Agenda 21 Action Plans and Local Biodiversity Action Plans. Ribble LEAP 8 June 2000 Action Plan 2000-2005 LEAPs and Partnerships We are particularly keen to work in partnership with people and other organisations. To support communities we have set up River Valley Initiatives. These support local tidy up campaigns, develop school nature areas and help community groups to get funding for their projects. We are also working with Lancashire County Council and North West Water, along with the Borough Councils of Wyre, Fylde, South Ribble, Preston, Chorley, Wyre and West Lancashire to offer advice and small grants to local community environmental projects. The Local Environment Agency Plan has been used to help support the development of Local Agenda 21 in Burnley, Hyndburn and Pendle Boroughs. Examples of our support for Local Agenda 21 includes running workshops with Burnley Borough Council and the Sustainability Action Partnership, Providing some funding for a Prospects group in Oswaldtwistle to grow organic food and improve Tinker Brook for wildlife and supporting an environmental fair in Pendle. We have also supported the East Lancashire Partnership. The East Lancashire Partnership is developing a way of making sure local organisations work together effectively to make East Lancashire a better place to live, work and visit. The Local Environment Agency Plan has been used to help identify local environmental concerns. As you read through the Action Plan it will be obvious that there are many other actions that are being developed in partnership with other organisations, ranging from community groups to local councils and businesses. Ribble LEAP 9 June 2000 Action Plan 2000-2005 Introduction to the Ribble LEAP Area Other Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) areas in Northwest Region border the Ribble LEAP area, namely: Lune, Wyre, Croal/Irwell and Douglas. The River Ribble is one of the longest rivers in North West England, draining a catchment of area of 2,128 square kilometres and covering a distance of 110 kilometres from source to mouth. The Ribble originates high in the Pennines at Newby Head Moss at an altitude of 422 metres.

But you may not have realised that our graduate placement, Jayne Ashe, has made a head start and has been busy supporting and co-ordinating a new 'Pendle Hill Volunteers Group' over the last year. The volunteers have been able to carry out small-scale tasks to improve the local environment of the hill, including woodland management, surveying, removal of invasives and hedgelaying amongst other things. We see this group growing and developing as the Pendle Hill LP begins its delivery phase next year. Ribble Rivers Trust have been going from strength to strength recently, with new initiatives and projects sprouting up across the AONB, including the ambitious and exciting 'Ribble Life Together' catchment- wide initiative and the River Loud Farmer Facilitation Group.

The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout. A project was initiated by the Fisheries Science and Management Team of Central Area, NW Region in liason with the Flood Defence function. The main objective of this project was to assess redd count data for Central Area and attempt to quantify these data in order to produce a grading system that would highlight key salmonid spawning areas. By showing which were the main areas for salmon and sea trout spawning, better informed decisions could be made on whether or not in-stream Flood Defence works should be given the go-ahead. The main salmonid catchments in Central Area were broken into individual reaches, approximately 1 km in length. The number of redds in these individual reaches were then calculated and a density per lkm value was obtained for each reach. A grading system was devised which involved looking at the range of density per km values and dividing this by five to produce 5 classes, A - E.

This flooding occurred as a result of high flows and blockages in the brook. Today, 79 properties are at risk of flooding in the village with a 1% (1 in 100) chance of occurrence in any one year. 64 of these properties are at risk from more frequent events. Flooding in Trawden is caused by water coming out of the channel when river levels are too high. This is made worse when the channel becomes blocked by debris at bridge crossings. Rainfall can flow very quickly through the catchment, which means there is a limited amount of time in which to warn people of flooding. Whilst there is currently no flood warning service in place for Trawden we are looking at the possibility of providing this service.
