1 Diffuse urban pollution and River Basin Management Plans David Lerner With thanks to: Richard Martin and others, EA& Defra URSULA and CSC teams RSPB and ECUS EPSRC KT funding EPSRC KT funding But the opinions are the author s!

2 NADP consultation 1, Feb 2007 Five priorities Industry Transport Abandoned mines Sewage Sediments Options 20 legislative mechanisms 20 voluntary mechanisms

3 Scale and cost (pcea 2007) Pressure Scale (E&W unless stated) t EAV ( M/y)* P ban 20 companies to change products 65 Misconnections misconnections 235 Misuse of drainage operators 50 Urban drainage No estimate given? Commercial, institutional and industrial sites sites 3100 Construction sites sites 1080 Oil, chemical and waste storage storage tanks 2500 Petrol station forecourts forecourts 36 In-situ sediment No estimate given? *Equivalent Annual Value Total M/yr Royal Haskoning, Cost-effectiveness of measures: Analysis of measures to reduce non-agricultural diffuse pollution. Final Report 9S4904.A0/R/901937/Nijm

4 NADP consultation 2, Jan 2008 Never happened! Was going to have: General Binding Rules Washing Activities Abuse of the Drainage System Site Management Surface Water Control for Construction Sites Permeable Surfacing Petrol Station Forecourts Amending Oil Storage Regulations Tackling Misconnections Removal of Phosphates from Detergents Sustainable Drainage Systems Water Protection Zones Voluntary Mechanisms

5 Final outcome Ban on phosphates h in laundry detergents from 2015 Removes 2% of P load to waters NOT a diffuse pollution action!

University of Sheffield for London Tideway Tunnels Programme

8 Costing SUDS retrofit for roads LTT analysis is for volume reduction for CSOs Assume cost is similar for DUP reduction (More difficult sources balance lower volume reduction) 50% coverage for DUP (separated systems only, LTT handles combined areas) 1600 km 2 of London 10 billion for London

9 Scale up road SUDS to GB London 1600 km km of roads 95% of traffic on 5% of roads (TfL) Total urban roads km Ratio up (*245/14.4) gives 175 billion for GB

16 What s in the River Basin Plans? There is no plan. Reductionist analysis No vision i No assessment of Suitability Capacity No linking of solutions to issues Not looking for synergistic effects or win-wins Basically a load of scraps and exhortations + the National Environment Programme for water utilities No implementation approach Doesn t consider the Catchment as an entity

17 What can we do? Presumption against regulation The Big Society and localism have arrived
