........................................................................................................................... 9-29 WATER ENVIRONMENT 9 INTRODUCTION Envireau Water has been instructed by Breedon Southern Limited to prepare a Hydrogeological Risk Assessment (HRA) and Flood Consequences Assessment (FCA) as art of the EIA to support a planning application. As noted from Chapters 1 and 3 above, the planning application is for a small lateral extension to the slate workings, together with the ancillary deposit of quarried waste and overburden, at Penrhyn Quarry. 9.1 In November 1947, Penrhyn Quarry was granted permission for “proposed tipping and quarrying development” for producing slate products. In November 1994, registration of the quarrying activities was granted by Gwynedd County Council (Ref. 3/16/456 and NP 3/17/27) under the planning and Compensation Act 1991. Subsequently, planning permissions C96A/0020/16/MW and C08A/0039/16/MW were granted on 19th January 2000 and 9th June 2008, respectively, for an extension to the quarry and variations to existing conditions. Following this, a proposed realignment of quarry workings was applied for and subsequently granted on 18th December 2012 under planning permission C12/0874/16/MW. 9.2 The proposed extension is contiguous with and located at the north-western corner of the existing quarry. Notably, the extension would be wholly within the confines of the area covered by planning permission C12/0874/16/MW (dated 18 December 2012) granted for a “proposed extension and realignment of slate extraction operations with a progressive scheme of restoration”. 9.3 The proposed extension will be worked in an identical fashion to the current workings, for which a comprehensive working scheme was approved in 2017 as part of a review under the Environment Act 1995 (the ‘Review of Mineral Permissions (ROMP) review’ planning application ref. C16/1164/16/MW). The extension would form a logical progression from the previous extension to the workings (planning permission ref. C12/0874/16/MW), expanding the workings along the north-western side of the quarry. 9.4 The basis of this assessment is a hydrological and hydrogeological appraisal of the proposed extension area for the dewatering operations, giving consideration to potential impacts to water dependent environmentally sensitive features. This report also includes a flood consequence assessment relating to the proposed extension area. METHODOLOGY Report Context 9.5 The report combines published regional and local data and the results of intrusive site investigations, and comprises the following: Penrhyn Quarry – Volume 2A Page 9-1 WATER ENVIRONMENT 9 • A review of the baseline hydrology, geology and hydrogeology around the proposed extension area; • Identification of surface water and groundwater features in proximity to the proposed extension area; • The proposed development plan and proposals for water management and drainage throughout the proposed quarry extension area within the context of the quarry; • A Hydrogeological Risk Assessment (HRA) following the principals outlines in the technical framework for groundwater risk assessment set out in Groundwater protection: Principles and practice (GP3) [Ref. 1] and the risk assessment methodology set out in DEFRA’s Green Leaves III (GL III) [Ref. 2]; together with proposals to mitigate hydrogeological risk, where required; and • A Flood Consequences Assessment (FCA) prepared in accordance with the Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15: development and flood risk dated July 2004 [Ref. 3]. Data Sources 9.6 The following data sources were used in this assessment: Natural Resources Wales • Licensed and deregulated water abstractions; • TAN 15: Development and Flood Risk – Development Advice Maps; • Surface Water Flood Risk Maps; • Groundwater Source Protection Zones (SPZs); • Discharge permits; and • Landfill sites. Ordnance Survey • OS Explorer Maps 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scale. British Geological Survey • Geological map, 1:50,000 scale, Sheet 106 (Bangor); • Onshore GeoIndex; • Borehole and water well records; and Penrhyn Quarry – Volume 2A Page 9-2 WATER ENVIRONMENT 9 • Physical properties of major and minor aquifers in England and Wales.

  • Preparing for the Global Citizenship Mini Challenge
    KS4 NATIONAl/FOUNDATION WELSH BaccaLAUREATE Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales Preparing for the Global Citizenship Mini Challenge SOURCE PACK We can learn a lot about the issue of poverty and inequality today by studying Welsh history as well as examples from the world today. Study these sources about poverty and inequality in the slate industry in north Wales in the 19th century and the textile or clothing industry in modern Cambodia. The sources will help you to understand why workers are paid low wages, how they have protested and fought through trade unions to improve their lives and how their efforts have been opposed by those who stand to profit from the industry. If you would like to know more why not visit the National Slate Museum in Llanberis, north Wales. You can also research websites such as the Gwynedd Archives Slatesite. More can be found on the National Archives website and on the Welsh Government learning resources hwb.

  • River Ogwen Wednesday June 20Th 2018
    RRC Site Visit Series River Ogwen Wednesday June 20th 2018 Join us on the Afon Ogwen in Snowdonia to visit a local hydropower scheme along with a large scale restoration of the river in the Nant Ffrancon Morning - Community Hydropower Scheme This Hydro Ogwen scheme will utilise the water flowing in the Afon Ogwen using an intake weir across the channel. This is a 100kW scheme on the river above the waterfalls below Pont Ogwen, generating approximately 500,000Kwh per year. More information Afternoon - River Ogwen The Ogwen is in a mountainous location of Snowdonia below Llyn Ogwen (Lake Ogwen), and flows northwards through the Nant Francon valley. During the 1960s the river was dredged over a 4km length to reduce the frequency of flooding over the valley floor to improve livestock grazing. Over the following 30 years the river flushed virtually all bed gravels through the system and scoured the river bed and banks. The reach became severely degraded, the once thriving salmon fishery declined and flooding was still troublesome to farmers. In the late 1990s, Environment Agency Wales carried out a large scale restoration project which involved raising the level of the riverbed, re-creating an island and creating four boulder cascades and pool and riffle sequences. Some runs of gravel were introduced and shoals were created on the inside of bends. View RiverWiki case study Programme and Information The visit is FREE to RRC members. If space is available, non-members are welcome to attend at a cost of £30. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

This assessment was undertaken in accordance with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) guidelines (Defra, 2006a). Because of the large number of watercourses within the study area a screening exercise was carried out which identified all significant watercourses within the study area and determined whether these should be carried through to the Appendix F assessment.

  • Zones of Influence
    Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 21 Zones of Influence May 2017 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 Introduction The Authority has identified eight ‘Zones of influence’ which are within and straddle the National Park. These areas have similar characteristics and have strong community links. The work on the Zones of Influence draws on a wide range of surveys and related national, regional and local plans and strategies discussed in the Spatial Development Strategy Background Paper. The paper identifies key centres within each zone of influence and recognises the influences of key centres outside the Park to inform the Spatial Development Strategy. The paper identifies key transport routes, key employment areas, and further education and key services for each zone. The paper discusses the main issues for each zone individually, the implications for the Local Development Plan and how the issues are addressed in the Plan. 2 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 1.1. BALA ZONE OF INFLUENCE 3 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 What’s it like now? 1.2. This zone covers Penllyn rural hinterland covering the community councils of Llanuwchllyn, Llandderfel, Llangywer, Llanycil and Bala and has a population of 4,362 according to the 2011 Census. The landscape is rural in character with scattered farmsteads and small villages. The zone includes Llyn Tegid (the largest natural lake in Wales), Llyn Celyn, Arenig Fawr and parts of the Aran Fawddwy. The main service centre for the area is the market town of Bala. Penllyn has strong traditions based on the Welsh language and culture.
