Water

There is potential for changes to water quality in the Summerlock and Mill Streams, River Avon and groundwater, during construction. Additionally, there will be changes to river processes including sediment disturbance. Our contractors will follow strict guidance to avoid causing pollution, especially when working near water. Landscaping and re-planting to stabilise soils will be undertaken as soon as practicable following earthworks.

The River Avon is a groundwater fed chalk river. Due to a direct connection between this river and a major groundwater body beneath the scheme, we will monitor groundwater changes as part of the scheme design.
