Volume 27: Abbey Mills Pumping Station Glossary

Page 259 Preliminary environmental informationreport

Term Description

risk assessment Assessment of the risks associated with an activity or objectand possible accidents involving a source or practice. Thisincludes assessment of consequence.

Roman AD 43 410.SAM Scheduled Ancient Monument. More commonly referred to

as Scheduled Monument.

saline intrusion Entry of brackish or salt water into an aquifer, from the sea orestuary. This may be natural or induced by excessive oruncontrolled groundwater abstraction.

saturated zone The zone in which the voids in a rock or soil are filled withwater at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.

Scheduled Monument An ancient monument or archaeological deposits designatedby the Secretary of State as a Scheduled AncientMonument and protected under the Ancient Monuments Act.

Scoping Opinion The formal view of the determining authority on the range oftopics and issues to be considered by the EnvironmentalImpact Assessment, as referred to in the 2009 InfrastructurePlanning EIA Regulations.

Scoping Report The document prepared by the applicant setting out theproposed approach to the Environmental ImpactAssessment, including the range of topics and issues to beaddressed, as referred to in the 2009 Infrastructure PlanningEIA Regulations.

Screening Opinion The formal view of the determining authority on the need foran Environmental Impact Assessment to be undertaken, asreferred to in the 2009 Infrastructure Planning EIARegulations.

Seaford Chalk The upper unit of the White Chalk, comprising of as firm tosoft non-nodular Chalk with flint beds. Thin marl seams arefound towards its base and and absent higher up. A hardground marks the top of the Seaford Chalk.

secant piles Alternate piles in-filled with concrete to form a water-tightretaining wall.

Secondary Aquifers Either permeable strata capable of supporting local suppliesor low permeability strata with localised features such asfissures. The term Secondary Aquifer replaces thepreviously used name of Minor Aquifer. There are twoclasses of Secondary Aquifer. Secondary A are capable ofsupporting water supplies at a local rather than strategicscale and Secondary B are lower permeability layers whichmay store and yield limited amounts of groundwater due to

localised features such as fissures, thin permeable horizonsand weathering.


283/291



Term Description

short listed sites Sites idenitfied following an assessment of long list sites inaccordance with the Site Selection Methodology.

SINC (Grade B) Site of Nature Conservation Importance (Grade II of Boroughimportance).

SINC (Grade L) Site of Nature Conservation Importance (Grade I of Localimportance).

SINC (Grade M) Site of Nature Conservation Importance (Grade III ofMetropolitan importance).

Site For the purposes of the PEIR assessment, the site isdeemed as the entire area located within the Limit of Land tobe Acquired or Used. It should not be inferred that this entiresite area will be physically separated (ie, hoarded or fenced)

for the construction duration.Site of SpecialScientific Interest(SSSI)

An area given a statutory designation by English Nature orthe Countryside Council for Wales because of its natureconservation value.

site strip Materials such as hard standing and vegetation includingincidental topsoil (including potential contaminated soil).

Sites and MonumentsRecord

A record of sites of archaeological interest.

sprayed concrete

lining

An efficient method for constructing the tunnel lining with a

layer of sprayed concrete. This is instead of using pre-castconcrete segments.

strata Layers of rock, including unconsolidated materials such assands and gravels.

stratigraphy The study of stratified rocks, their nature, their occurrence,their relationship to each other and their classification.

sulphur dioxide (SO 2) A colourless gas with a choking smell, the main product ofthe combustion of sulphur contained in fuels.

superficial deposits Overarching term for recent generally unconsolidated or

loosely consolidated deposits of sand, gravel, silt, clay, etcon top of bedrock. Synonymous with drift generallysupersedes the term.

surface water This is a general term used to describe all water featuressuch as rivers, streams, springs, ponds and lakes.

surface water runoff Water that travels across the ground rather than seeping into the soil.


284/291



Term Description

Thames Tunnel The Thames Tunnel comprises a full-length storage andtransfer tunnel from Acton Storm Tanks to Beckton SewageTreatment Works in East London and the interception of

specific CSOs along the Thames Tideway with a diameterbetween 6.5m and 7.2m.

Thanet Sands Coarsening upward sequence of well sortedfine grainedsand which has a higher clay / silt content towards the lowerpart of the sequence, and evidence of intense bioturbationremoving bedding structures.

The project The Thames Tunnel project.

tidal excursion Length of river channel swept by water from a dischargepoint in one tidal cycle. In the case of the River Thames thisis considered to 13km up and downstream of the dischargepoint.

Tideway Fish RiskModel

Tool developed on behalf of Thames Water to assess theeffects of lapses in water quality caused by CSO dischargeson Tideway fish populations.

TransportAssessment (TA)

The formal assessment of traffic and transportation issuesrelating to the proposed development. The findings areusually presented in a report which accompanies theplanning application.

truncate Partially or wholly remove. In archaeological terms remains

may have been truncated by previous construction activity.typical year A typical year relates to an actual year, eg, the

corresponding meteorological dataset for that year used inthe modelling which was 1979-80. The correspondingmeteorological dataset is used as it would give a betterindication of conditions rather than using a recent year ofdata where the meteorological data may not be consistentwith a rainfall event leading to the tunnel emissions.

underground pressurerelease chamber

An enclosed space below the ground surface where air isreleased to atmosphere, should the pressure within theTunnel exceed a set value.

Unitary DevelopmentPlan (UDP)

The statutory plan which sets out a unitary authoritysplanning policies.

unproductive strata These are rocks which are generally unable to provideusable water supplies and are unlikely to have surface waterand wetland ecosystems dependent upon them.

Upnor Formation Variably bioturbated fine- to medium-grained sand withglauconite, rounded flint pebbles and minor clay, withdistinctive pebble beds and base and top.


285/291



Term Description

Upper aquifer Comprising the water bearing strata above the London Clay,namely the River Terrace Deposits and the Alluvium.

Upper Mottled Beds A bluish grey mottled with greenish brown clay.

Upper Shelly Beds Contains shell fragments within a flinty gravel or a sandy clay

Urban Waste WaterTreatment Directive

The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (1991) has theoverall aim of protecting the environment from the adverseeffects of urban waste water discharges.

valve chamber An underground structure on the sewer system containingvalves which are used to isolate the flow between differentparts of the sewer system. For example, flap valves preventthe flow from the river travelling back up the sewer or into thetunnel.

ventilation column A stack through which air is released.Water FrameworkDirective (WFD)

An EC Directive seeking to improve water quality in riversand groundwater in an integrated way (2000).

watching brief(archaeological)

An archaeological watching brief is a formal programme ofobservation and investigation conducted during anyoperation carried out for nonarchaeological reasons.

water table Level below which the ground is saturated with water. Thewater table elevation may vary with recharge andgroundwater abstraction.

Waste Electrical andElectronic EquipmentDirective (WEEE)

The WEEE Directive aims to reduce the amount of electricaland electronic equipment going to landfill and to encourageeveryone to reuse, recycle and recover it.

White Chalk subgroup Chalk with flints, with discrete marl seams, nodular chalk,sponge-rich and flint seams throughout. Flint typology andmarl seam incidence is important for correlation. Comprisesof Seaford Chalk, Lewes Nodular Chalk, New Pit Chalk andHolywell Nodular Chalk.
