Your feedback is being analysed.

The Environment Agency consulted on this proposal for change between 13 July 2015 and 16 August 2015.

The Environment Agency proposes to change the existing main river map at West Thurrock Main Sewer at Watson Close, Grays, Essex.

It proposes the change as a ‘determination’ under section 193C(1) of the Water Resources Act 1991. A determination is a formal decision to change the main river map.

The proposed determination is that we will correct the main river map between national grid reference (NGR) TQ5830176880 and NGR TQ5857076689. The main river is to be the watercourse shown as an ‘addition’ on the main river consultation map rather than the watercourse shown as a ‘deletion’.

The change means that the map would show the correct location of the watercourse. It does not change who has power to carry out flood risk management work on the watercourse.

West Thurrock Main Sewer was realigned in 2004 affecting over 350 metres. This was due to structural integrity concerns over culverts through which the watercourse used to pass. This factual amendment is required to correct the existing main river map.

0.1 1. How to view the proposed changes

You can see the proposals on the main river consultation map.

The green line (‘addition’) on the map is the proposed new line to show the correct position of the watercourse. The red line (‘deletion’) is the incorrect line, which would be deleted.
