EnviroSolution is an environmental consultancy currently undertaking a COMAH environmental risk assessment (using the CDOIF methodology) on behalf of the operator of a site at 40, Acre Site, Belasis Avenue, Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham, TS23 1QY.
As part of this assessment, we need to identify any groundwater or surface water abstractions used for public or private drinking water supply within approximately 10km of the site, as these are relevant receptors under the assessment methodology.
Could you advise:
* The number of groundwater and/or surface water abstraction licences within approximately 10km of the site used for drinking water purposes;
* The distance and direction to the closest such abstraction; and
* Whether there are any other abstractions in the wider vicinity that the Agency would consider relevant to flag, beyond the 10km radius, given local hydrogeological or hydrological conditions.
We already hold Source Protection Zone information for this site, so this enquiry relates specifically to abstraction licence data.
We would be grateful for any guidance you can provide, or for a point of contact better placed to assist with this enquiry.
