The purpose of the report is to provide a detailed understanding of flood risk and hazard from flooding that can be used to inform future planning decisions in Ashburton. The report builds upon the findings of the 2010 Dartmoor Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and should be reviewed alongside this document. Existing Existing Environment Agency indicative flood mapping showed the study area assessment of flood to be at high risk of fluvial flooding from the River Ashburn and the Balland risk Stream. Much of the Chuley Road site was shown to be in the high risk Flood Zone 3, with an annual probability of flooding of greater than 1%. The indicative assessment was based on broad-scale mapping which did not consider the impact of existing flood defences or the complex overland flow paths in urban flood events. Importantly, a flood relief culvert was constructed on the River Ashburn in the 1980s to divert peak flows away from the centre of Ashburton and reduce flood risk.

Davies National Rivers Authority Environmental Protection Manager South West R egion ANNUAL CLASSIFICATION OF RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992: NUMBERS OF SAMPLES EXCEEDING TOE QUALITY STANDARD - FWS/93/012 This report shows the number of samples taken and the frequency with which individual determinand values failed to comply with National Water Council river classification standards, at routinely monitored river sites during the 1992 classification period. Compliance was assessed at all sites against the quality criterion for each determinand relevant to the River Water Quality Objective (RQO) of that site. The criterion are shown in Table 1. A dashed line in the schedule indicates no samples failed to comply. This report should be read in conjunction with Water Quality Technical note FWS/93/005, entitled: River Water Quality 1991, Classification by Determinand? where for each site the classification for each individual determinand is given, together with relevant statistics. The results are grouped in catchments for easy reference, commencing with the most south easterly catchments in the region and progressing sequentially around the coast to the most north easterly catchment.

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.

    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.
