following List B contaminants were present and their position
is shown on the accompanying map in red. |

Little or no litter was observed actually in the river, although
small amounts were observed at levels which would equate with
the surface level when the dam was making a release. |
|
2. At the put in just below the dam some bulding litter was
observed in the form of dumped concrete and small amounts of
angle iron, tubing and metal rope (see images below). |

Some small pieces of litter, i.e. plastic bottle and polythene

Adjacent to the long pool below the play hole on LH bank lies
a discarded wooden walkway. |

On RHS, in a high water back eddy, at the top of the very large
pool which forms a sharp left hand bend in the river, a quantity
of cut logs, a pallet belonging to ParcelForce, blocks of polystyrene,
a wheel and tyre and other litter like cans, bottles and polythene
were found. |

On the next right hand bend a metal bar was found on LHS. |
