High levels of heavy metals can be damaging to wildlife, and may cause difficulties in the development of wildlife. The wetlands and swales will help to immobilise these by intercepting road runoff before it enters the stream. In addition, London Borough of Enfield has commissioned Ecological Assessments to monitor current species and species diversity as the project advances 12648 London Borough of Enfield, Thames 21, Environment Agency 2012-08-06Z 2456145.5 In progress As part of the Thames21 project "the Salmons Brook Healthy River Challenge", it is proposed to create a flood storage area incorporating a wetland nature reserve, possibly involving the re-alignment of Salmons Brook. The site is on council owned land, and occupies a former depot. Works include the construction of wetlands and a swale treating runoff from the A10 before it enters the Salmons Brook, designed by the London Borough of Enfield's watercourses team. The site could accommodate up to 5,000m3 of flood waters, benefitting properties downstream. The use of reeds and other aquatic plant species would serve to improve water quality in Salmons Brook by filtering out sediments and absorbing nutrients. Thus at the same time providing an area of educational interest and recreation by sensitively landscaping the area into an ecologically interesting site with habitat creation. Allowing use by a neighbouring school and as a safe linkage between two neighbouring communities as part of the creation of a green transport link along Salmons Brook from Little Bury Street right through to Edmonton Green. The key benefits include: • Reduction in flood risk to properties in Edmonton Green area downstream<br>• Enhanced wildlife habitat in the park and along the river corridor<br>• Creation of a new resource for the local community<br>• Improved water quality to Salmons Brook<br>• Provision footpath/cycleway along river would improve green transport links across the borough Bury Lodge Wetlands bury lodge wetlands No 410 London Thames Creation of wetland Salmons Brook salmons brook Bury Lodge Wetlands bury lodge wetlands Recreation Improved public access 10 - 100 km² 136 100 - 200 m Salmons Brook GB106038027960 Environmental flows and water resources Flood risk management Habitat and biodiversity Monitoring Social benefits Water quality Urban GB106038027960 Salmons Brook 2014-04-03T08:35:10Z 2456750.8577546 2019-01-02T13:15:04Z 2458486.0521296 Bury Lodge Wetlands 500 1 plainlist 5 [[Category:Case study]] [[Project title::!Bury Lodge Wetlands]] [[Subcatchment title::Salmons Brook]] Bury Lodge Wetlands# QUERY8caf94e8750bf2b0bfd28aeef7d5db33 Case study:Bury Lodge Park Flood Alleviation and River Restoration Project 500 en Bury Lodge Park Flood Alleviation and River Restoration Project REDI 102 en REDI
