Society has developed thanks to the earth's abundant natural resources. However, we recognize that the very diversity of life that has supported our environment is in decline; so, in response, we have formulated this biodiversity policy.

Basic PolicyGiven that we gain a lot of benefit from living things and pursue business activities that have an impact on biodiversity, we will reduce the impact of our activities on biodiversity and engage proactively in its protection.

EU / UK Water Legal Context - March 2014

� Current worldwide focus on reduction of water use, water flood management and improvement in water quality.

� In EU latest legislation is focusing on drainage systems, especially with regard to drainage discharge quality into rivers & lakes.

� The EU “Water Framework Directive” (WFD) has been issued to manage water quality. Existing Legislation ‘Water resources act & regulations 2009’ requires all companies to ensure risk of pollution is minimised and water use is monitored and reduced.

� WFD target is to improve water quality in rivers / lakes so that all can achieve “Good Ecological Status” by 2027.

� In UK the target areas for improvement are:– Run-off from road and the urban environment– Domestic foul / surface water misconnections– Contaminated in-situ river bed sediment– Run-off from trading and industrial estates (i.e. R PL)– Discharges from Combined Sewer Overflows– Septic tanks and sewage treatment plants– Mine waters from redundant working

� Telford area (RPL) has been identified as a “failing catchment” and will be subject to increased EA monitoring and action.

� Targets small level pollution spillages contained using absorbent mats and clay drain seals.

� If pollution enters drainage system then only hydrocarbons and floating items are contained in Interceptor.

� Diffuse pollution is not contained and flows off site (business risk)

� RPL’s strong stakeholder partnerships have been used to gain Government funding to produce detailed design of RPL site SuDS scheme to meet these new requirements

� Though RPL membership of Business Environment Sustainability Support Telford (BESST) group, £15k funds have been utilised to design an exemplar SuDS project at RPL

� This project gives RPL tangible benefits, allowing us to express our environmental responsibility for the site
