FOI release

Strategic Assessment of the River Lugg report

Case reference EIR2023/00033

Published 11 January 2023

Request

On page 39 of the Strategic Assessment of the River Lugg report (which has been sent to me under a previous FOI request - a redacted version) there is reference to a further study commissioned by HC regarding the reliability of FARMSCOPER to assess pollution risks.

I would like a copy of the report mentioned and commissioned by HC, and also information regarding who/which dept. commissioned this report, the reason for the commissioning of these two reports, the cost of the reports and the purpose of the reports - together with any actions implement as a consequence.

It would be useful to know who has seen both these reports and if there is any intention to make the documents public. I would also like to know if there are any further reports commissioned by HC regarding The Lugg, phosphates, soil/water/air pollution in the Lugg.
