• W2143578259 abstract "The Environment Agency has a' general duty ,to 'prott:?ct water resources. It has a furtherspecific duty to proteCt all so~rc~s from derogation,' and in some circumstances itneects tohave particular regard to the presence of such sources to protect them from pollution.' Inaddition, the Agency's 'Policy and Practice forthe Protection of Groundwater' aims to protect(from pollution) all potable groundwater sources many of which are small, licence-exempt,sources. However, under existinglegislatio~ai1d the'current abstraction licensing systemthere is no established mechanism' for identifyIng these sources in order that the Agency can,adequately fulfil its responsibilities. ' ' ,, Whilst the Agency's primary interest is the identification and protection of Small Licence~xempt Groundwater Sources ('SLEGS'), British Geo·ldgical Survey's (BGS) interest in this'area lies in enhancing and maintaining the National Well Record Archive. The archive is aunique store of more than 100,000 geologically Classified records of wells, boreholes andsprings within England anciWales, for which the main source of information is well logs fromdrilling companies. ' : ,,' , -'This study descnbes and' evalu~tes.the various ways in~hichthe Agency can identify SLEGS' ,which, iftaken to include springs; are believed to coinprisethe vast majority of small, exemptsources. The shtdy draws on the experience arid views of Agency staff across England andWales.It reports on the relevant 'legislation, existing practices, data availability, and thelessons learnt from past initiativ~s'by the Agency to identify these sources. The transfer ofrelevant information betWeen the Agency and BGS' National Well Record Archive is alsoconsidered. ,-'-, 'The study reveals that, as a _consequence 'of pastinitiatives~ the Agency has alreadyestablished a large body ofdatll pertaining.to these soUrces.- In some Agency regions,listingsof SLEGS' have been established, by staff working in pollution prevention, whilst in other'regions similar data have peen compiled by abstraction licensing staff.Consultations with Agency staff have highlighted a vanety of existing methods of identifyingSLEGS. These include use of: ':'. ,.'• Ad-hQcwater featur~ sui-v~ys'; '., Local Authority EnviroIimental Hellith Dep~entiecords of private supplies;.' Water company records of water mains andeonnections;• N~tio~al W,ell Record Archive('13riti~li O~ological.sufvey).Lessons learnt from- the -application of tli'e above methods in various regions are presented sothat the collective' experIence of the Agency; can be' shared and used to help guide futureinitiatives in this field. ,-' ,- ..' 'The above methods may beusect'in conjunction with, or independent to, the establishment ofnew local registers of licence-exempt sources (nominally <2Om3/d). For those parts of thecountry that adopt the new registration scheme, it is 'proposed (DETR 1999) that only thosesources that voluntarily 'appear on _ the local. register will be afforded protection fromderogation. However, this report finds that the Agency will under some circumstances stillneed to have regard to SLEGS where they maybe at risk from pollution. ' Furthermore, the Agency's 'Policy and Practice for the Protection of Groundwater' aims to protect (frompollution) all potable groundwater sources, many of which are SLEGS. Beyond legalrequirements and the needs of established policy, there may also be considerable additionalbenefit to the Agency and BGS from identifying SLEGS. This is due to their potential toyield valuable information' about groundwater quality, yield capability and groundwaterlevels, all of which contribute to the effective management and protection of groundwater. Asa consequence, even in areas that establish a'registration scheme, methods of identifyingSLEGS(beyond voluntary registration) are still likely to be required.• <In general the study has found that the single most praCtical ~ean~ 'of identifying' the majority'of SLEGS is by access to Environmental Health Department (EHD)' records. of private'supplies. When EHD records are used in combination with other, complemeQ.tary methods;Agency experience shows that reasonably accurate listings of SLEGS cari be produced. Thisreport presents guidance for the' selection of the most appropriate combination of methods tomeet local needs. In 'allcase~, care must be taken to ensure that the Agepcy' is compliant withthe current data protection law (as recentlyupdated).· . .As part of this s~dy, new, tentative estimates of the number ofSLEGS in England and Walesare derived. : These figures are compared with an estimate of private water supplies·.(asopposed to sources) from aprevious, unpublished study. . . . . . ,A number of recommendations are presented that aredesignedto~egularisethe A.geIicy~s .approach towards SLEGS and to improve future access to infoima,tion:·.· 'Most notably,. the''. Agency regards access . to EHD records. as a principal requirement to enableit to carry out its~egal duties, whilst improvements in the numbers of well logs reported by drilling companiesto BGS, would probably be the best means of enhancing the National Well Record Archive." @default.
