Whilst scattered patches of intact blanket bog remain over the majority of the site extensive linear peat hags have left an undulating surface with extensive species-poor vegetation on eroded sections and exposed dry peat. <br /> <br /> The Borrowdale Moss Peatland Restoration project is designed to address diffuse pollution issues concerning the River Sprint (tributary of the Kent) and Borrow Beck (tributary of the Lune). In particular this project will address the issue of degraded peatland in the headwaters. Drain-blocking and re vegetation of bare peat has been shown to reduce particulate organic carbon (POC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) downstream, reduce carbon loss and there is growing evidence of a hydrological response changing to a less ‘flashy’ character. Peatland restoration therefore benefits not only peatland soils, vegetation and hydrological ecosystem services but also stream water quality and biodiversity downstream. <br /> <br /> Through an extensive restoration programme involving grip blocking, re-profiling and re-vegetation of bare peat over a site greater than 800 hectares, this project will address key diffuse pollution issues in the headwaters of a number of watercourses. The project aims to move from moderate to good the River Sprint and to ensure no deterioration of Borrow Beck from good water body status. There is a real danger that unless the degraded and eroded peat on the blanket bog at the head of this valley is not addressed, that the consequences on water quality will continue to rise. The restoration will also complement and help the integrity of the adjoining Shap Fells SSSI and Lake District High Fells SAC that is currently undergoing similar works. A walkover of the site has shown that the area is extensively ‘hagged and gullied’ with areas of bare peat. Aerial photographs have identified extensive grip systems. <br /> <br /> This project, in combination with River Restoration Strategy works being undertaken by partners, will enable good status to be achieved by tackling reasons for failure (diffuse pollution), particularly in the form of sediments. It will also meet targets for flood alleviation.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1926.JPG<br /> |Caption=Exposed peat - erosion problem<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture16.jpg<br /> |Caption=Re-profiling peat hags<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=BeforeAfter01.jpg<br /> |Caption=Peat hag re-profiling before and after<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1613.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-profiled peat hags<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1929.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-profiled peat hags<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1953.JPG<br /> |Caption=Collecting moss for &quot;seeding&quot; bare peat<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1949.JPG<br /> |Caption=Softrak handling cut moss for spreading on bare peat<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1938.JPG<br /> |Caption=Softrak spreading moss on bare peat (&quot;seeding&quot;)<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1916.JPG<br /> |Caption=Borrowdale Moss wildlife - Field Vole (Microtus agrestis)<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1625.JPG<br /> |Caption=Borrowdale Moss wildlife - Common lizard (Zootoca vivipara)<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Borrow Beck<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Borrowdale Moss<br /> |WFD water body code=GB112072071770, GB112073071430, <br /> |WFD water body name=Borrow Beck, River Sprint<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2012/07/30<br /> |Works started=2012/07/30<br /> |Project completed=2015/03/31<br /> |Total cost category=100 - 500 k€<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Diffuse pollution<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Channel reprofiling, <br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Grip blocking, Re-vegetation of bare peat<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Case study monitoring documents<br /> |Monitoring document=Monitoring_framework_table_P5v2.docx<br /> |Description=RRC Monitoring form - Borrowdale Moss<br /> }}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Case study documents<br /> |File name=Borrowdale Moss Report.docx<br /> |Description=Report of project up to June 2014<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references<br /> |Link=www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwdeIRfNziw#t=17<br /> |Description=Cumbria Wildlife Trust promotional video of works on Borrowdale Moss (Forest Hall)<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

Therefore, the Source to Sea Programme is a pan-Morecambe Bay Catchment Restoration Fund initiative that encompasses restoration projects for a range of waterbodies, protected sites, and associated priority habitats and species.<br /> The project will restore the natural connections along watercourses (removing barriers) and between water-courses and their floodplains and headwaters (restoring habitats).<br /> The project works in partnership with landowners and managers to bring about land management change to benefit water quality and raises awareness amongst Morecambe Bay coastal communities.<br /> Diffuse pollution, a lack of riparian habitat, unnatural flow regimes attributable to upland drainage and obstructions to fish passage are causing certain watercourses in the project area to fail to meet the required standards under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Fish populations, particularly salmonids, have been found to be greatly diminished.<br /> To ensure that the failing waterbodies achieve Good Ecological Status under the WFD, the project aims to improve the habitat and connectivity in order to generate sustainable fish populations. The creation of wetland habitats and riparian buffer zones will reduce diffuse pollution from farmland and roads, and some upland drainage grips are to be blocked to encourage a sustainable return to natural flow regimes.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1543.JPG<br /> |Caption=Project 1 - Leighton Moss<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Ditch restoration.

Therefore, the Source to Sea Programme is a pan-Morecambe Bay Catchment Restoration Fund initiative that encompasses restoration projects for a range of waterbodies, protected sites, and associated priority habitats and species.<br /> The project will restore the natural connections along watercourses (removing barriers) and between water-courses and their floodplains and headwaters (restoring habitats).<br /> The project works in partnership with landowners and managers to bring about land management change to benefit water quality and raises awareness amongst Morecambe Bay coastal communities.<br /> Diffuse pollution, a lack of riparian habitat, unnatural flow regimes attributable to upland drainage and obstructions to fish passage are causing certain watercourses in the project area to fail to meet the required standards under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Fish populations, particularly salmonids, have been found to be greatly diminished.<br /> To ensure that the failing waterbodies achieve Good Ecological Status under the WFD, the project aims to improve the habitat and connectivity in order to generate sustainable fish populations. The creation of wetland habitats and riparian buffer zones will reduce diffuse pollution from farmland and roads, and some upland drainage grips are to be blocked to encourage a sustainable return to natural flow regimes.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=104 1543.JPG<br /> |Caption=Project 1 - Leighton Moss<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment}}<br /> {{Site<br /> |WFD water body code=GB 31 229 647, GB 53 120 721 2100, GB 11 207 206 5840, GB 11 207 206 5880, GB 11 207 307 1260, GB 11 207 307 1220, GB 11 207 307 1300, GB 11 207 307 1050, GB 11 207 307 1240, GB 11 207 306 4450, GB 11 207 206 5860, GB 11 207 206 5850, GB 11 207 206 5990, GB 11 207 307 1430, GB 11 207 307 4640, GB 11 207 307 1370, GB 11 207 307 1430, GB 11 207 207 1770, GB 11 207 206 6020, GB 11 207 207 1700, GB 11 207 306 4430, GB 11 207 307 1420, GB 11 207 307 1350, GB 11 207 307 1290, GB 11 207 307 1030, GB 11 207 207 1710<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2012/06/28<br /> |Project completed=2015/03/31<br /> |Total cost category=1000 - 5000 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=1350<br /> |Funding sources=Catchment Restoration Funds<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Diffuse pollution<br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Quantity &amp; dynamics of flow, Continuity for organisms, Continuity of sediment transport<br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Blocking of certain grips, Tree planting,<br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Creation of wetlands, Removal of the obstruction for fish passage, riparian planting, fencing of riparian zone<br /> |Wider stakeholder / citizen engagement=Engagement activities will include public consultations, practical volunteering activities like beach cleans, and tree planting, and awareness-raising through media and face-to-face contact.<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Case study documents<br /> |File name=CRF025 Project Briefing Note - Source to Sea.pdf<br /> |Description=CRF Project briefing note - Source to Sea<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

Currently Leighton Moss is failing to meet its WFD objectives. The SSSI / SPA recovering condition is on the basis of the existence of the DWP plan. Delivery of this plan is now required to ensure that SSSI/ SPA status genuinely improves to favourable. <br /> <br /> Working with the Environment Agency, Natural England and local farmers and landowners, the project will implement the DWP delivering the following: <br /> • Deployment of resource protection farm advisors, to be part of detailed and ongoing discussions with a neighbouring estate, its tenant farmers and a number of private farms, to identify land use change and measures to be implemented. This includes drawing up detailed and costed individual farm plans – this work is crucial to allow discussions to move forward, so implications are fully understood, with the objective of getting these farms into ELS / HLS management. Contract administered by the Arnside &amp; Silverdale AONB Partnership.<br /> • Feasibility study for use of constructed wetlands – current catchment studies have identified possible suitable locations for constructed wetlands. Further work is needed to look into the full design, engineering and implications of these.<br /> • Implementation of constructed wetlands – once the feasibility work and discussions with neighbouring landowners are complete, capital works are needed to create constructed wetlands. <br /> • Capital grant for on-farm infrastructure measures (e.g. slurry pits, roofing) – to complement and extend what was made available via earlier Catchment Sensitive Farming project.<br /> |Monitoring surveys and results=Each month seven water samples are collected by the RSPB on the Leighton Reedbed and six at Hawes Water. <br /> Each quarter this is extended to include three on Barrow Scout and two on Silverdale Moss (18 in total).<br /> Samples are sent off for analysis.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture5b.jpg<br /> |Caption=New deep flow gutters needed on traditional buildings to take water to new clean water drain<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture14.jpg<br /> |Caption=New gutters to take roof water out to water course<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture8.jpg<br /> |Caption=New cross drain to be installed to prevent rainwater running into dirty yard.<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture13.jpg<br /> |Caption=New cross drain to collect rainwater before it runs in to cattle yard and becomes contaminated<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture10.jpg<br /> |Caption=Piping the clean water drain into the ditch<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture12.jpg<br /> |Caption=Ditch after new pipe installed and back filled<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture 13.jpg<br /> |Caption=Excavation for new dirty water tank<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Picture 14.jpg<br /> |Caption=Ground re-instated after tank installed<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Barrow Scout - new sluice prior to eel pass fitting.JPG<br /> |Caption=New sluice (prior to eel pass fitting) at Barrow Scout<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Leighton Moss<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Leighton Moss catchments<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Site designation=All - multiple designations across the site<br /> |Protected species present=Yes<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2012/07/30<br /> |Works started=2014/01/02<br /> |Project completed=2015/03/31<br /> |Total cost category=100 - 500 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=210<br /> |Funding sources=Catchment Restoration Funds,<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Diffuse pollution<br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Quantity &amp; dynamics of flow, Continuity for organisms, Continuity of sediment transport,<br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish,<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Tree planting<br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Creation of wetlands, removal of barriers to fish passage<br /> |Other technical measure=On-farm remedial measures e.g. separation of foul and rain water<br /> |Management interventions=Farm business restructuring<br /> |Wider stakeholder / citizen engagement=Engagement activities will include face-to-face contact.<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Case study monitoring documents<br /> |Monitoring document=Monitoring framework table P1v2.docx<br /> |Description=RRC Monitoring table - Leighton Moss Resource Protection<br /> }}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Case study documents<br /> |File name=CRF025 Project Briefing Note - Source to Sea.pdf<br /> |Description=CRF Project briefing note - Source to Sea<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

The current status of the river Kent and its tributaries is “good to moderate”. The reasons for failure to achieve good status throughout are due to diffuse pollution. <br /> <br /> Poor geomorphology is also an issue on the Kent. Many of the natural meanders have gone and been replaced by straight, featureless sections. The river has been dredged and much of the natural bed has been dug out and been piled up on the banks. As a consequence the gravel depth is shallow and area available to salmonids to breed has reduced. Bank-side trees and vegetation have been significantly reduced. <br /> <br /> Prioritising the Rivers Sprint and Mint, the project is to work with farmers and landowners to:<br /> • Establish at least 1500 metres of riparian buffer strips established, up to 10 metres wide on demonstration sites.<br /> • Provide 2 demonstration sites, raise awareness of riparian issues locally amongst 4 communities / groups, and pave the way for more ambitious restoration in the river Kent catchment (in line with the Jacobs report).<br /> • Minimise erosion, sedimentation and diffuse pollution.<br /> • Address diffuse pollution, and move river condition towards good status<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=River Sprint<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Kent catchments<br /> |WFD water body code=GB112073071430, GB112073074640, GB112073071370<br /> |WFD water body name=Rivers Kent, Sprint, Mint<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2012/06/28<br /> |Project completed=2015/03/31<br /> |Total cost category=1000 - 5000 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=1350<br /> |Funding sources=Catchment Restoration Funds<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Diffuse pollution<br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Tree planting, <br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Fencing of riparian zone, Riparian tree planting, <br /> |Wider stakeholder / citizen engagement=Engagement activities will include public consultations, practical volunteering activities like beach cleans, and tree planting, and awareness-raising through media and face-to-face contact.<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Case study monitoring documents<br /> |Monitoring document=Monitoring framework table P4v2.docx<br /> |Description=RRC Monitoring table - River Kent tributaries prioritising the Sprint and Mint<br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Case study documents<br /> |File name=CRF025 Project Briefing Note - Source to Sea.pdf<br /> |Description=CRF Project briefing note - Source to Sea<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

Therefore, the Source to Sea Programme is a pan-Morecambe Bay Catchment Restoration Fund initiative that encompasses restoration projects for a range of waterbodies, protected sites, and associated priority habitats and species.<br /> The project will restore the natural connections along watercourses (removing barriers) and between water-courses and their floodplains and headwaters (restoring habitats).<br /> The project works in partnership with landowners and managers to bring about land management change to benefit water quality and raises awareness amongst Morecambe Bay coastal communities.<br /> Diffuse pollution, a lack of riparian habitat, unnatural flow regimes attributable to upland drainage and obstructions to fish passage are causing certain watercourses in the project area to fail to meet the required standards under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Fish populations, particularly salmonids, have been found to be greatly diminished.<br /> To ensure that the failing waterbodies achieve Good Ecological Status under the WFD, the project aims to improve the habitat and connectivity in order to generate sustainable fish populations. The creation of wetland habitats and riparian buffer zones will reduce diffuse pollution from farmland and roads, and some upland drainage grips are to be blocked to encourage a sustainable return to natural flow regimes.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=SD65179116.jpg<br /> |Caption=Project 11 - Riparian footpath fencing<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment}}<br /> {{Site<br /> |WFD water body code=GB 31 229 647, GB 53 120 721 2100, GB 11 207 206 5840, GB 11 207 206 5880, GB 11 207 307 1260, GB 11 207 307 1220, GB 11 207 307 1300, GB 11 207 307 1050, GB 11 207 307 1240, GB 11 207 306 4450, GB 11 207 206 5860, GB 11 207 206 5850, GB 11 207 206 5990, GB 11 207 307 1430, GB 11 207 307 4640, GB 11 207 307 1370, GB 11 207 307 1430, GB 11 207 207 1770, GB 11 207 206 6020, GB 11 207 207 1700, GB 11 207 306 4430, GB 11 207 307 1420, GB 11 207 307 1350, GB 11 207 307 1290, GB 11 207 307 1030, GB 11 207 207 1710<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2012/06/28<br /> |Project completed=2015/03/31<br /> |Total cost category=1000 - 5000 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=1350<br /> |Funding sources=Catchment Restoration Funds<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Diffuse pollution<br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Quantity &amp; dynamics of flow, Continuity for organisms, Continuity of sediment transport<br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Blocking of certain grips, Tree planting,<br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Creation of wetlands, Removal of the obstruction for fish passage, riparian planting, fencing of riparian zone<br /> |Wider stakeholder / citizen engagement=Engagement activities will include public consultations, practical volunteering activities like beach cleans, and tree planting, and awareness-raising through media and face-to-face contact.<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Case study documents<br /> |File name=CRF025 Project Briefing Note - Source to Sea.pdf<br /> |Description=CRF Project briefing note - Source to Sea<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

Whilst scattered patches of intact blanket bog remain over the majority of the site extensive linear peat hags have left an undulating surface with extensive species-poor vegetation on eroded sections and exposed dry peat. <br /> <br /> The Borrowdale Moss Peatland Restoration project is designed to address diffuse pollution issues concerning the River Sprint (tributary of the Kent) and Borrow Beck (tributary of the Lune). In particular this project will address the issue of degraded peatland in the headwaters. Drain-blocking and re vegetation of bare peat has been shown to reduce particulate organic carbon (POC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) downstream, reduce carbon loss and there is growing evidence of a hydrological response changing to a less ‘flashy’ character. Peatland restoration therefore benefits not only peatland soils, vegetation and hydrological ecosystem services but also stream water quality and biodiversity downstream. <br /> <br /> Through an extensive restoration programme involving grip blocking, re-profiling and re-vegetation of bare peat over a site greater than 800 hectares, this project will address key diffuse pollution issues in the headwaters of a number of watercourses. The project aims to move from moderate to good the River Sprint and to ensure no deterioration of Borrow Beck from good water body status. There is a real danger that unless the degraded and eroded peat on the blanket bog at the head of this valley is not addressed, that the consequences on water quality will continue to rise. The restoration will also complement and help the integrity of the adjoining Shap Fells SSSI and Lake District High Fells SAC that is currently undergoing similar works. A walkover of the site has shown that the area is extensively ‘hagged and gullied’ with areas of bare peat. Aerial photographs have identified extensive grip systems. <br /> <br /> This project, in combination with River Restoration Strategy works being undertaken by partners, will enable good status to be achieved by tackling reasons for failure (diffuse pollution), particularly in the form of sediments.

Whilst scattered patches of intact blanket bog remain over the majority of the site extensive linear peat hags have left an undulating surface with extensive species-poor vegetation on eroded sections and exposed dry peat. <br /> <br /> The Borrowdale Moss Peatland Restoration project is designed to address diffuse pollution issues concerning the River Sprint (tributary of the Kent) and Borrow Beck (tributary of the Lune). In particular this project will address the issue of degraded peatland in the headwaters. Drain-blocking and re vegetation of bare peat has been shown to reduce particulate organic carbon (POC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) downstream, reduce carbon loss and there is growing evidence of a hydrological response changing to a less ‘flashy’ character. Peatland restoration therefore benefits not only peatland soils, vegetation and hydrological ecosystem services but also stream water quality and biodiversity downstream. <br /> <br /> Through an extensive restoration programme involving grip blocking, re-profiling and re-vegetation of bare peat over a site greater than 800 hectares, this project will address key diffuse pollution issues in the headwaters of a number of watercourses. The project aims to move from moderate to good the River Sprint and to ensure no deterioration of Borrow Beck from good water body status. There is a real danger that unless the degraded and eroded peat on the blanket bog at the head of this valley is not addressed, that the consequences on water quality will continue to rise. The restoration will also complement and help the integrity of the adjoining Shap Fells SSSI and Lake District High Fells SAC that is currently undergoing similar works. A walkover of the site has shown that the area is extensively ‘hagged and gullied’ with areas of bare peat. Aerial photographs have identified extensive grip systems. <br /> <br /> This project, in combination with River Restoration Strategy works being undertaken by partners, will enable good status to be achieved by tackling reasons for failure (diffuse pollution), particularly in the form of sediments.
