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.

  • Fishing on the River Thrushel A4
    Fishing Rights on the River Thrushel, Lifton, Devon Approximately 690 metres of double bank fishing on the River Thrushel, running upstream from Tinhay Weir to the junction with the River Wolf. There are a further 223 metres or thereabouts of single bank Fishing Rights running upstream from the junction with the River Wolf. Savills Exeter Lifton about 1 kilometre • Launceston about 7 kilometres The Forum Exeter about 64 kilometres Barnfield Road (Distances are approximate) Exeter Devon EX1 1QR [email protected] savills.co.uk 01392 455755 Situation The Fishing Rights are located approximately 2.5 kilometres off the A30. Both Lifton and Launceston provide a range of local services and accommodation. Description 690 metres or thereabouts of double bank and approximately a further 223 metres of single bank Fishing Rights offered for sale on the River Thrushel. The Fishing Rights offer some exciting water and an opportunity over an attractive stretch of the River Thrushel. The Rights run upstream from Tinhay Weir which accommodates the river depth gauge for the river. The 690 metres or thereabouts of double bank fishing offer some varied water for fish and anglers. There are sections of faster water from shallow riffle over gravel to deeper channels over rock. Between such runs are stretches of slow water and plenty of pools offering the potential for some excellent fishing. There is a larger pool at the junction with the River Wolf beyond which the single bank Fishing Rights extends for a further 223 metres or thereabouts on the northern (right hand) bank. The River Thrushel changes in character slightly from this junction pool, providing narrower and shorter sections of riffle, some shallower water with deeper pools on meandering bends.

This programme is integrated with the effluent discharge compliance assessment programme, Samples are taken not only of a significant discharge but also of the receiving water immediately upstream of the discharge and at the edge of the mixing zone downstream of the discharge. The 1992 programme has several purposes, such as: - identifying any impact by the discharge on the receiving waters. - characterising upstream water quality. - providing a database against which change can be measured.

The complete programme comprises approximately 950 sites covering 4230 km of river and 27 km of canal. The full programme is completed in two years, with half the sites surveyed in any one year. Twenty-two key sites are visited every year, to assess annual changes? seven of the sites are solely to monitor discharges from sewage treatment works (STWs) and are not used for river quality classification. The complete programme matches the routine chemical monitoring programme, but includes additional sites so that all reaches which had been assigned River Quality Objectives are monitored. Fourteen sites, originally programmed for the 1993 survey, are also to be surveyed in 1992 to support the Operational Investigation into the impact of the Wheal Jane pollution incident on the River Carnon. Macro-invertebrates are sampled three times in the year; in Spring, Summer and Autumn. Habitat features and macrophytes are recorded once.

These areas have their own objectives and standards. Article 4 of the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to achieve compliance with the standards and objectives set for each protected area by 22 December 2015, unless otherwise specified in the Community legislation under which the protected area was established. Some areas may require special protection under more than one EC Directive or may have additional (surface water and/or groundwater) objectives. In these cases, all the objectives and standards must be met. Article 6 requires Member States to establish a register of protected areas. The types of protected areas that must be included in the register are: • areas designated for the abstraction of water for human consumption (Drinking Water Protected Areas); • areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species (Freshwater Fish and Shellfish); • bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as Bathing Waters; • nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas identified as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones under the Nitrates Directive or areas designated as sensitive under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD); • areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection including relevant Natura 2000 sites1.
