1-Day Seminar: Hydraulic Engineering and the Controlled Activities
Regulations [flyer].
10:00am, Scottish Engineering Centre, Glasgow.
The
Controlled Activities Regulations (CAR) come into force in April
2006 and will require multi-disciplinary consideration of ecology,
environmental quality, geomorphology and engineering to understand
the health of a river. The SHSG 2006 seminar will interest and inform
both the engineer who now needs to understand the ecological drivers
of CAR, and the environmental scientist who now has to account for
many more aspects of the health of a river when considering environmental
change.

2006 Seminar -
A New Challenge for Water Engineers - The Controlled Activities Regulations
(2005) From 1 April 2006, most engineering activities
in rivers and other water bodies will be controlled. This includes
abstractions from surface and groundwater, impoundments of rivers,
lochs, wetlands and transitional waters, groundwater recharge and
other engineering work in rivers, lochs and wetlands. For minor,
low-risk operations the requirements are relatively light but for
more serious operations a licence may be required with a named person
being responsible for ensuring the terms of the licence are complied
with. This seminar will outline the requirements of the new legislation
and describe the duties and responsibilities of the engineers involved.
