Planning Authority (Local Authority or Peak Park) Main river? Not main river? Lead Flood Authority View Environment Agency Derbyshire/Staffordshire CC 3. Surroundings. Please sketch a map showing the site and approximate distances to: Other weirs, buildings, roads or footpaths, pipes and utilities …… Providing notes to describe them is helpful.(what else should be on this list?) Part B. Site Information 1. Basic Information Weir name Flow conditions low-medium-high-spate Your name Date Safety information…..be careful….. Grid Reference Organisation 2. Site plan. Please draw a plan of the site below. Show the shape of the weir, bank reinforcements, surrounding structures, trees, vegetation. Draw to scale and/or add dimensions. Show channel width at the weir, upstream and downstream (are there standard abbreviations?). Please append photos as well. 3. Long section. Please sketch the weir giving dimension (or approx. dimensions) in particular for the eight of the weir (H)), the length that it impounds upstream (I), the length of visible sediment deposit behind the weir (S). Add labels to show what each element if made of and anything else of note. Please append photos as well. 4. Bank and Bed Materials Bank material: Soil - subsoil - rock -clay-silt-sand-gravel-cobbles-boulders Reinforcements: stone - brick - sheet piling – concrete - etc Upstream bed material: clay-silt-sand-gravel-cobbles-boulders Downstream bed material 5. Sediment retained by the weir Estimated volume of sediment = 0.5 weir height x 0.5 channel width at weir x length of visible sediment deposit = 0.5_____m x 0.5 _____m x _____m = ______m3 (is this a reasonable approximation?) 6. Possible contaminants Any present or past industry nearby or upstream? Possible agricultural pollution? Organic matter …… 7. Benefits and risks I would like to remove this weir if possible for the following reasons: The risks could be: 8.
