Objectives for this morning

• To recap the approach to environmental assessment of the

WRMP

• To set out the key findings from the Strategic Environmental

Assessment, Habitats Regulations Assessment and Water

Framework Directive Assessment of the options in the

Constrained List

• To explain the layout of the assessments to assist

stakeholders in their subsequent review of the reports

• To discuss and gain initial feedback on the assessment

findings

Page 9: Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting ... · Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting Environmental assessments Demand management options 19 June 2017 . SWOX WRZ SWA

Statutory framework provides focus of the approach

9

Habitats Regulations

Assessment

Will the option adversely affect any

European designated conservation

sites?

Strategic Environmental Assessment

Beneficial & adverse effects of each option are assessed against a broad range of

environmental & social topics (e.g. biodiversity, heritage, health)

Water Framework Directive

Assessment

Will the option lead to adverse effects on

the biology and chemistry of water

bodies or their physical characteristics?

Assessment of option elements, options,

programmes and WRMP as a whole

Key Activities to Date • Assessment methodology consultation – January to December 2016

• SEA Scoping Report consultation – July to September 2016

• Consultation feedback – majority agreed that environmental valuation (£) of

environmental effects would not materially improve the assessment process

• Option specific environmental assessments – e.g. Severn Thames Transfer

Water Quality & Ecology Report; Vyrnwy river support environmental studies

• SEA, HRA and WFD assessments of feasible options – Feasibility Reports

• SEA, HRA and WFD assessments informed environmental dimension at

Fine Screening of option elements – Fine Screening Report

• Detailed SEA, HRA and WFD assessments of all Constrained List option

elements – Environmental Assessment Reports now being published

Assessment of option elements after taking account of mitigation & enhancement measures

• Conceptual design report prepared for each option element - level of

design reflects strategic nature of the WRMP

• Includes the mitigation measures identified from the environmental

assessment

• Covers both temporary effects (mainly from construction) and permanent

effects

• Mitigation includes consideration of environmental enhancement

opportunities

• Mitigation measures have been costed and included in overall cost of the

option element – to ensure “like for like” £/Ml AIC comparison

• Assessment of adverse and beneficial effects for SEA, HRA and WFD is

the residual effects after application of mitigation and enhancement

Environmental metrics: graded scales for programme appraisal modelling

Page 24: Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting ... · Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting Environmental assessments Demand management options 19 June 2017 . SWOX WRZ SWA

24

Approach to assigning adverse effects grades

Minimum grade of -9 applies where:

• Major adverse effect on internationally designated site or feature identified in

SEA

• HRA shows Likely Significant Effects on European Site

• WFD deterioration between status class likely

Minimum grade of -7 applies where:

• Major adverse effect on nationally designated site or feature identified in SEA

• HRA shows possible risk of Likely Significant Effects on European Site

• Risk of WFD deterioration between status class

Page 25: Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting ... · Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting Environmental assessments Demand management options 19 June 2017 . SWOX WRZ SWA

25

Grades are assessed directly from SEA, HRA and WFD assessments

Page 26: Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting ... · Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting Environmental assessments Demand management options 19 June 2017 . SWOX WRZ SWA

26

Environmental Metrics are NOT a replacement for SEA, HRA and WFD assessment

• Environmental metrics are only used to inform programme appraisal model

– numerical model requires numerical values

• Enables model to hold information on the environmental effects of each

option element alongside other criteria

• Full SEA, HRA and WFD assessment will still be carried out on the

OPTIONS that are determined from the modelling

• Full SEA, HRA and WFD assessment will be carried out on the

ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMES derived from the programme appraisal

• These detailed assessments will inform the decision-making to determine

the “best value” programme of options – not the Environmental Metrics

Page 29: Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting ... · Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting Environmental assessments Demand management options 19 June 2017 . SWOX WRZ SWA

29

SEA findings: introduction

Assessments have been carried out for each of the option elements

Each option element assessed against range of SEA topics and objectives

Detailed assessment table produced along with assessment summary and

environmental metrics (beneficial and adverse)

Option element summaries have been collated together into an overall

summary with option elements ranked according to the scale of the adverse

and beneficial effects

Page 30: Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting ... · Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting Environmental assessments Demand management options 19 June 2017 . SWOX WRZ SWA

SEA findings: example for the Teddington Direct River Abstraction option

Overview of SEA findings Earlier detailed screening assessments has eliminated option elements with

unacceptable environmental and social effects

Adverse environmental effects of option elements are considered to be

within acceptable boundaries in most cases

Some exceptions – conceptual design to be reviewed to assess scope for

change to design and/or additional mitigation measures

In general, the largest option elements give rise to greater adverse effects

AND greater beneficial effects

Demand management and catchment management option elements

generally have the lowest adverse environmental effects while delivering

some minor to moderate beneficial effects

Smaller supply option elements (notably groundwater sources) have a lower

magnitude of both adverse and beneficial effects than the larger, more

strategic schemes

Summary and Next Steps

Page 43: Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting ... · Water Resources Technical Stakeholder Meeting Environmental assessments Demand management options 19 June 2017 . SWOX WRZ SWA

43

Next steps Information on the environmental assessment findings of each of the option

elements will be available on the Thames Water website

Opportunity for you to review and provide feedback to Thames Water over

the next 2 weeks (ideally by 26 June)

Feedback will inform the finalisation of the assessments

Environmental assessment findings will be used to inform the programme

appraisal modelling over the coming weeks

Subsequently, environmental assessment will be carried out on:

The options selected within the alternative programmes selected

from the programme appraisal process

The alternative programmes (including cumulative effects

assessment)

These assessment findings will be used to help inform decisions on the

preferred, ‘best value’ programme

Option 1: Pressure Management

55

Assumptions:

• Leakage reduction is proportional to the percentage

pressure drop based on data from Water Net.

− i.e. a 10% pressure drop = 10% leakage reduction.

• DMA’s with average minimum pressure <30m are not

considered.

• Pressure reduction can be no greater than 15m to avoid

customer complaints and excessive tall building booster

installations.

• Pressure Management infrastructure has a 20 year life

Option 2 to 5: Mains Replacement

56

Reduction in Background Leakage

• Small, inaudible, non-visible leaks that run continuously

• 97% reduction in background leakage achieved by replacing distribution mains and communication pipes

• Benefit must be maintained by managing the deterioration of residual leakage

• Asset life of 80 years

Reduction in Burst Based Leakage OPEX

• Leaks and bursts with moderate to high flow rates, audible or visible

• 80% reduction in Active Leakage Control Detection and Repair OPEX

detection and repair

Option 1 to 9: Usage and Wastage Benefit

60

• Average usage reduction = 17% per property

• Behaviour changes occur over the customer ‘metering journey’

− 10% with the installation of a meter

− 50% by the end of the first year of meter installation

− 100% of complete reductions by the second year
