Environment Agency internal documents
The Environment Agency (England and Wales) have released the following internal documents which provide guidance to their staff in carrying out abstraction and impoundment licensing processes. I am publishing this list as it is not currently available for access on the EA website and may be useful for applicants, particularly those with high head sites which are not currently covered in the external EA guidelines "GPG1":
Hydropower Handbook
Hydropower Applications 540_10
Water Resources Permitting - An Overview 1107_08
Impacts on Conservation, heritage & Landscape 226_10
Time-Limiting abstraction licences 029_08
Water Resources law 476_05
Determining wr licences 314_10
These documents are current but the EA may of course change them at any time. I will add further documents which may prove useful in due course. I have asked to be kept informed if they should change.
