Brief

Summary:

The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust and Tees River Trust have launched two projects to improve water quality and restore habitats in the North Pennines National Landscape. The projects, worth u00a3268,000, aim to reduce pollution from metal-contaminated mine waste by building riverbank walls and sowing grass and plant species. At the former Wire Gill Mine, trial plots of vegetation and grassland have been planted on metal-contaminated ore processing waste, with 25 different plant species sown along with various supportive materials. At the former California Mine, 300 meters of riverbank walls have been built and 100 meters of drains installed to prevent erosion and pollution of Little Eggleshope Beck. The projects have received funding from the Water and Abandoned Metal Mines (WAMM) programme and The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The work aims to improve water quality, restore habitats, and increase biodiversity, with the goal of halving the length of rivers polluted by abandoned metal mines.

The new measures include building 300m of new riverbank walls and sowing an array of grass and plant species on metal-contaminated land. This will limit metals being washed out of mine waste material and polluting Little Eggleshope and Great Eggleshope becks, both tributaries
