1 Briefing Note 7 - Summer 2011 The Metropoitan Gasgow Strategic Drainage Partnership The Metropoitan Gasgow Strategic Drainage Partnership (MGSDP) is an innovative and coaborative venture between oca authorities (Gasgow City Counci eading), the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), Scottish Water and Scottish Enterprise that wi upgrade and modernise the Gasgow area s drainage and sewerage network, reduce fooding and support urban deveopment requirements whie improving water quaity and the environment. White Cart Water food defences pass first test Kirkand Bridge storage area in norma conditions on the eft and the same storage area on the right with the water eve reducing after the food event in February New food defences in the south of Gasgow have passed their first major test with fying coours. Their success is great news for the White Cart Food Prevention Scheme especiay as the project, which is being constructed in two major stages, wi not be finished and fuy operationa unti the end of this year. In February 2011, the water eves aong the White Cart Water started to rise as a resut of a 1 in10 year storm. But the new food aeviation contros hed back the swoen river. It is estimated that neary 3 miion of damage woud have been done to homes and businesses aong the White Cart Water without these new defences. Officias at Gasgow City Counci, which promoted and ead the project, said that a the defences were monitored throughout the food threat and they worked extremey we during their first rea ife test as expected. The White Cart, which runs through Busby, Cathcart, Pook Country Park and Paisey before joining the River Cyde at Renfrew, is normay a shaow, fast-fowing but pacid watercourse. However, in certain conditions, water can rise more than 20ft in ess than 12 hours and become a raging torrent in certain conditions. Since 1908, the river has inficted more than 20 serious foods on homes and other properties in the south side of the city. The 53 miion project, which is Scotand s argest confirmed food prevention scheme, is designed to reduce the risk of fooding at 1750 properties in the south of Gasgow. The scheme was a direct response to the serious fooding of the 1980s and 1990s which caused major damage to hundreds of homes and businesses. The scheme covers the White Cart Water and its tributaries and invoves the formation of three food storage reservoirs upstream of the city, which are capabe of temporariy hoding back the miions of gaons of foodwater generated by extreme rainfa.

2 White Cart Water food defences pass first test (cont.) As we as creating storage reservoirs capabe of hoding miions of gaons of water, engineers have instaed devices caed hydro brakes which throtte back the fow of water, sowing it down and aowing the reservoir to fi up. Water is then reeased back into the rivers in a controed manner once the peak has passed. The hydro brakes being used in the White Cart scheme are the argest in the word. As we as the new food storage areas, the scheme incudes new food defences downstream incuding five mies of new embankment was. Once fuy operationa, the scheme wi give those iving aong the White Cart and its tributaries peace of mind and provide protection from an up to a 1 in 200 year storm. To find out more visit White Cart hydro brakes being instaed Camachie Burn Overfow work progressing Work on the first phase of Gasgow City Counci s pans to hep aeviate fooding in the East End of the city is now we under way. The Camachie Burn Overfow (CBO) is a 13 miion project to construct a 2.7m diameter food by-pass channe from the Camachie Burn at Camachie Street to the River Cyde. Many areas within the Camachie Burn catchment were devastated by fooding in Juy The burn was one of the contributing factors in the fooding. The CBO wi create additiona capacity in the ower section Work progressing on the Camachie Burn Overfow project of the Camachie Burn and this wi aow the deveopment of food aeviation schemes. The historic ack of capacity has not ony caused fooding but hindered the regeneration of the East End. The food by-pass channe is being constructed in conjunction with the East End Regeneration Route and sites being constructed for the Gasgow 2014 Commonweath Games. Scottish Water has in the past two years aso competed significant work which has heped improve the environment in and around the Camachie Burn. It aso aowed Scottish Water to compy with requirement of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive and the Water Framework Directive. This work incuded the instaation of a new storm overfow in the car park area of the Forge Retai Park and the abandonment of a storm overfow in Camachie Street, which invoved investment of more than 2m, provided improved screening and ensured a reduced voume of sewage spied into the Camachie Burn in storm conditions. In Greendykes Street near Gasgow Green, Scottish Water instaed a static screen at a storm overfow to improve the water quaity of the Camachie Burn in a 400,000 project which was competed in March 2009.

3 Integrating Green Infrastructure in Gasgow and the Cyde Vaey The approach seeks to provide the toos and structures necessary to aow green infrastructure design eements to be weighed aongside the needs of road transportation, based on defendabe anaysis of existing conditions and opportunities that can be deivered through good design soutions. Typicay, green infrastructure design eements are: A SUDS pond at The Sidings, Easterhouse Road, Easterhouse Water management Access networks Habitat networks Green and open space Stewardship over time Deveopers with construction projects within the Gasgow and Cyde Vaey area are being encouraged to consider Integrating Green Infrastructure Pans and dea with the issue of surface water management at the design stage of deveopment projects. The Gasgow and Cyde Vaey Green Network has worked with partner organisations, incuding the MGSDP, to deveop four Integrating Green Infrastructure Design Studies: Jackton and the Gi Burn Vaey, near East Kibride Cowairs Urban Viage, Gasgow The Burgh of Pookshaws, Gasgow South West Johnstone, Renfrewshire The Green Network, and the green infrastructure that heps to deiver the Green Network, must not be an afterthought if sustainabe paces where peope want to ive and work are to be deivered. Too often the design process is dominated by road transport considerations at the expense of green infrastructure design eements. Using Integrated Green Infrastructure in panning projects benefits everyone using the deveopment and the space around it. For panners: Panning appications that deiver poicy: easier assessment of panning appications For deveopers: A cear design brief and provides confidence that proposas meet panning requirements For residents: Homes in paces where peope are proud to ive; that encourage active ifestyes; provide havens for widife; and manage surface water. Detais of the four Integrated Green Infrastructure pans are avaiabe at: Infrastructure/Integrating-Green-Infrastructure-Overview. htm MGSDP approach to food risk management peases Scottish Government In a recent report to the Scottish Pariament on the deveopment of Deivering Sustainabe Food Risk Management under the Food Risk Management (FRM) Act, the MGSDP was recognised. The report stated that the MGSDP continues to embrace a hoistic approach to managing surface water, which wi reduce food risk whist unocking deveopment potentia, improving water quaity and aowing residentia areas to co-exist with the natura andscape. Based on their experience and previous essons earnt, the MGSDP has been working with the Scottish Government on the production of guidance on tacking surface water management in a coaborative manner. This guidance wi be pubished in support of the wider sustainabe food risk management guidance.

4 Scottish Government drives integrated food management message The Scottish Government aunched their consutation on Deivering Sustainabe Food Risk Management within the Food Risk Management (FRM) Act on 18 January A key section of this consutation was the process of deveoping Integrated Urban Drainage that decreases burdens on sewer systems whie aso deivering reduced food risk and an improved water environment. Working with key partners, the Scottish Government pans to pubish a poicy statement on improving the management of urban water environments, and urban drainage, by providing a cear overarching framework. That framework wi deveop a shared understanding of the roes and responsibiities in tacking surface water fooding probems. This work wi ink cosey with the sustainabe food risk management guidance that is aso being deveoped. Urban drainage is a compex interaction of piped systems, watercourses, and other features of the urban andscape, ike roads and paths, that by design or otherwise perform a drainage function. It is widey recognised that the Scottish Government, and their agencies, support an integrated approach to urban drainage that ensures that above and beow ground parts of the drainage system work in concert to deiver benefits for food risk management, the environment and wastewater treatment. The principes put forward in the consutation to support integrated urban drainage were: increase the percentage of new surfaces that are permeabe; aim to dea with storm water runoff from impermeabe surfaces as cose to source as possibe; minimise the amount of drainage going underground as this is often an infexibe soution that cannot deiver wider benefits or be easiy adapted to future conditions; maximise opportunities to manage surface water before it enters the sewer system; design for exceedence by ensuring that the deveopment has food pains and safe fow paths. The consutation cosed in March 2011 and the resuts are being reviewed. MGSDP produces new guidance documents The MGSDP, through the technica support of the Project Management Office (PMO), has produced three new guidance documents for use by a the Partners. These guidance documents are intended to improve and streamine the way that the Partners assess and evauate the cost and benefit of the projects that are being identified through the Deveopment Pan. The guidance documents are: Carbon Accounting Guideines Cost Estimating Guidance Cimate Change Technica Guidance A have been produced by industry-eading technica experts from the PMO (the MWH and Hacrow organisations) and provide a robust framework for each partner to utiise existing practices in a way that produces consistent data and enabes fair comparison of mutipe projects. Where a Partner does not have access to processes, or eements of the processes, the guidance enabes them to fi that gap. It aso provides accepted criteria and indices that support the deveopment of projects and costs in the most effective and efficient manner. The MGSDP beieves that these guidance documents are a significant advance to assist in the deveopment of food management projects and further promotes coaborative working across the MGSDP.

5 SEPA s Foodine service heps property owners The frequency of foods has risen dramaticay in Scotand over recent years. In fact there are now approximatey 100,000 properties at risk from rivers and the sea. Your property is your responsibiity but hep is avaiabe. Athough the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) can t prevent foods from occurring, it can provide you with advance warning about when and where foods from the rivers and the sea are ikey to occur through the Foodine service. Which means that you can take the appropriate action to imit the damage to your home or business. For more information just ca or visit www. foodinescotand.org.uk/foodupdates, your area even has a dedicated quick dia code so you can go straight to the food messages reevant for your oca area. Sign up to receive free food warnings You can now sign up to receive free messages to your mobie or andine that wi notify you when SEPA has issued a food aert or warning for your area. The messages wi direct you to the website or Foodine recorded teephone service for more detaied information on the river or coasta fooding near you. With new user-friendy food warning symbos and messages that are easier to understand, it wi be cear what action you shoud take to protect your property. To find out more, visit or ca Cyde Gateway wins Scottish Design Award Cyde Gateway s continuous efforts to transform its neighbourhoods and communities have been acknowedged at the 2011 Scottish Design Awards. The South Damarnock Masterpan, which is Cyde Gateway s vision to take the substantia pieces of vacant and dereict and and create a new neighbourhood incorporating a range of uses incuding residentia, business, industria, commercia, transport and civic, has been decared the winner of the 2011 Pacemaking/Masterpan category. The Masterpan Design Team was made up of staff from the Gasgow office of the architectura firm Sheppard Robson, working aongside Martin McKay and Aison Brown from Cyde Gateway. As we as setting out suggestions for how South Damarnock might change over the coming years, it aso offers suggestions for soving ong-standing technica and infrastructure issues incuding water, drainage and sewerage probems. Coecting the award at a ceremony hed in Gasgow on 19 May, Aison Brown, Cyde Gateway Project Manager for South Damarnock, said This award might have been handed over to the Masterpan Design Team but we coud never have won it without the superb input we got from everyone during the consutation process, so it reay is one to be shared with peope who ive and work in the community.
