Appendix 10.3 - Groundwater Abstractions and Private Water Supplies
Page 1
1 Introduction
1.1.1 In support of Chapter 10 (Volume 1) of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 3 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report; this appendix presents the baseline detail of groundwater abstractions and private water supplies (PWS) that were identified within the study area for Project 8 - Dalwhinnie to Crubenmore of the A9 Dualling Programme (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Scheme) and records the consultation undertaken regarding them.
1.1.2 Potential impacts are assessed and mitigation measures identified (if required) in Chapter 10 (Volume 1), while additional abstractions related to surface water and hydropower via the Cuaich aqueduct through Dalwhinnie are identified and assessed in Chapter 11 (Volume 1) where necessary. Natural springs and flushes present in the study area but not identified as existing PWS sources are considered in the context of the potential groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystem (GWDTE) assessment in Chapter 10 (Volume 1) and Appendix 10.2 (Volume 2).
2 Approach and Methods
2.1.1 The assessment related to groundwater abstractions and PWS covered a study area extending to 850m from the temporary and permanent works boundaries of the Proposed Scheme, which was considered to correspond to the minimum study area applied for groundwater abstractions under The Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (CAR).
2.1.2 In order to identify these features, consultation was undertaken with The Highland Council (THC), Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and HighWater (Scotland) Ltd. Additional information regarding the source, location, type and use of any such features present was then obtained through private property/ landowner consultation questionnaires, public exhibitions and/ or site walkovers. Additional consultation regarding some supplies may be required as part of pre-construction activities as identified in Chapter 10 (Volume 1).
3 Baseline Conditions
3.1.1 Based on the consultations undertaken and questionnaire responses/ feedback received, one groundwater abstraction (comprising three shallow wells) and two PWS source locations were identified within the study area, supplying properties in Dalwhinnie, Cuaich and Crubenmore.
3.1.2 The approximate locations of the abstractions and PWS sources and supplied properties are illustrated in Drawing 10.21 to 10.29 (Volume 3) with photographs and questionnaire feedback from private properties/ landowners, summarised in Annex 10.3.1. The collective known details and status of each feature identified are summarised in Table 1.
3.1.3 The sensitivity of each feature has been assigned based on the criteria within Table 10-4 in Chapter 10 (Volume 1) and the number of properties served.
