Aims and Objectives
SES Water with assistance from Royal HaskoningDHV have undertaken a detailed feasibility assessment which considers alterations to the west weir at Shepley Mill.
-
The study aims were to identify what alterations to the west weir are feasible from an engineering and fish passage perspective, but also whether the impact of the alteration on the upstream reaches are acceptable to stakeholders.
-
Although the feasibility study for the Shepley Mill Habitat Restoration Project predominantly focused on fish passage improvements directly upstream and downstream of Shepley Mill, benefits to geomorphology and in-channel habitats were also taken into consideration.
