Abstract:
The River Fowey catchment is mainly rural with some small industrial estates. The major salmonid fishery and the abstraction point for potable water at Restormel make the River Fowey a high priority area for pollution prevention. A serious incident could result in the closure of the intake and consequent disruption to the drinking water supply to approximately 50% of Cornwall's population. It was decided that the NRA and SWW would undertake a joint pollution risk assessment and remediation programme in the River Fowey catchment. The purpose of the visits was: to collect information about the sites - their processes, storage facilities and drainage arrangements; to identify inadequacies; to advise on and seek improvements; to educate management and staff in best environmental protection practice.
