Informing second cycle River Basin Management Plans
Richard Handley
Head Office Catchment Management
22 November 2013 (Fountains Abbey) Catchment Based Approach Conference
UNCLASSIFIED 1
Why feed into River Basin Management Planning? ! Create a statutory framework (particularly water body
objectives) to direct local opportunities for improvement
! Inform a strategic approach to water management across catchments (- better outcomes and benefits)
! Engage with stakeholders who are less well represented at catchment level
! We need Catchment Groups to feed into RBMP and vice versa – You (hosts and coordinators) are pivotal to this.
What information would be helpful (1) ! Evidence on:
! Risks and Impacts
! Reasons For Failure
! Effectiveness of measures/mechanisms (e.g. voluntary advice versus regulatory campaigns)
! Costs and Benefits of measures and mechanisms
What information would be helpful (2) ! Views on:
! Objectives, relative priorities and outcomes (levels of ambition)
! Opportunities for future major re-development to co-deliver benefit
! Alternative funding opportunities (e.g. LEPs, EU funds)
! Gather any new actions into the RBMPs

How the information can be provided ! Providing evidence on:
! Classification – specific data requirements
! Reasons For Failure & Risk Assessment – more flexible
! Measure Cost-Effectiveness & Benefits – more flexible
! Engage with local Agency Catchment Coordinators to agree with partners what the information means
! As a minimum feed in views through the statutory 6 month consultations (the earlier the better)
! Over time we plan to develop ‘data standards and protocols’
When do we need this information?

Challenges & Choices
Draft Plan
Final Plan
Proposed Approach to Draft RBMPs ! Centrally compiled RBD plans
! Strategic overview and direction ! Statutory requirements ! Based on local data (including catchment summaries) ! Shaping with Liaison Panels continues
! Catchment Summaries ! Regionally produced around core information template ! Discuss and shape locally – role for partnership groups ! Complement partner’s Catchment Plans ! Catchment Plans will be measures in the RBMP
! Web-based ‘Linked-data’ Catchment data explorer ! Aiming first release for draft plan publication

Catchment Planning System
Next Steps ! We are finalising the approach to draft RBMPs (February
2014)
! The National Practitioner Group are setting up:
! Training events from February 2014 (in development)
! Data sharing systems (in development) linked to Environment Agency data management work -Catchment Explorer
! We encourage you to engage locally with catchment coordinators to determine how you can feed into RBMPs
Summary points ! We need Catchment Groups to feed into
RBMP (and vice versa)
! You (hosts and catchment coordinators) have a pivotal role in this
! The ability of Partnership Groups to feed in will vary
! As a minimum help shape the catchment summaries and engage in RBMP consultations e.g. Challenges & Choices and draft RBMPs
! Catchment Based Approach is not just about producing RBMPs but all aspects of managing water (i.e. developing consensus and delivering action) - a long term ‘adaptive’ process and should not be constrained by plan production
! Thank You
