Title: The Worcestershire Stour catchment : recommendations for statutory water quality objectives
Author: Environment Agency Midlands Region
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
The Worcestershire Stour Catchment is one such pilot catchment, and SWQO proposals for the catchment were contained in the consultation document. The Worcestershire Scour Catchment: Proposals for Statutory Water Quality Objectives. This document sets out the recommendations of the Agency to the Secretaries of State for the Environment and for Wales (the SoS) for Statutory Water Quality Objectives (SWQOs) for stretches of river in the Worcestershire Stour Catchment. To aid interpretation of the Agencys recommendations, the general structure of this document is modelled on the predecessor SWQO proposal document. The primary differences are: a new appendix, Appendix III; Digest of Responses to Consultation, has been added to provide a summary of responses to the EA consultation and the actions that will be subsequently taken; and further clarification, in some cases, of the likely costs and benefits associated with proposed water quality maintenance or improvement schemes. The purpose of SWQOs is to establish targets, on a statutory basis, that provide an agreed planning framework for regulatory bodies, dischargers, abstractors and river users.
