1. Introduction

1.1 Terms of Reference

Tulip Engineering Consultancy was commissioned by CB3 Consult Ltd to prepare this Flood Consequences Assessment (FCA) to support a planning application for the development of Industrial Units on brownfield land at Swansea Valley Business Park, Glan Yr Afon, Ystalyfera. Industrial development is classified as “less vulnerable” development in Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15 Development & Flood Risk (Welsh Assembly Government, 2004).

The proposed development site lies within Zone C2 of the Development Advice Map (DAM) published by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). Zone C2 is defined as areas at risk of flooding “without significant flood defence infrastructure” (Welsh Assembly Government, 2004).

The objective of this report is to undertake a study into the hydrological issues affecting the site, and establish whether and to what extent the consequences of flooding can be managed over the lifetime of the development, using the principles and tests set out in TAN 15.

2. Site Description

2.1 Location

Swansea Valley Business Park is an established industrial site which lies between Ystalyfera to the north and Godrergraig to the south. The site is directly bounded to the east by the A4067 Glanyrafon Road, with the banks of the River Tawe situated parallel to the road and approximately 70m away in the south-easterly direction.

The National Grid Reference for the site is: SN 76505 08226.

A site location plan is shown in Figure 1.

2.2 Watercourses

The Afon Tawe is a designated main river which rises in the Brecon Beacons above Llyn y Fan at 590m above sea level and flows in a generally south-westerly direction to Swansea Bay. The river drains a total catchment of some 270km2. The Tawe flows approximately 70m to the east of the proposed development.

The Afon Twrch, also a designated main river and a main tributary of the Tawe, rises in the Black Mountains and flows in a generally southerly direction to Ystalyfera where it joins the Tawe approximately 0.7km north-east of the development site. The Afon Twrch catchment is approximately 50km2 at the confluence with the Tawe.

2.3 Topography

The development site sits in the relatively flat Tawe valley floor some 70m from the river. The width of the valley floor is some 0.8km at this point. The valley floor area widens markedly upstream (north) of the site, where the Twrch joins the Tawe and the two valleys merge.

A plan showing the site location, lidar ground levels, and all OS-mapped watercourses (main rivers and ordinary watercourses) in the vicinity is included in Appendix A.

https://d.docs.live.net/9692ee99776ac28f/Documents/Tulip Engineering Consultancy/Jobs/J009 - Swansea Valley Ind Est FCA/Production/Data - Internal/FCA - Swansea Valley Ind Est.docx

A topographical survey of the development area and adjacent industrial unit dated March 2016 is also included in Appendix A. This shows that the level of the rectangular development plateau is raised some 1m above the adjacent industrial land to the west.

The development site elevation ranges between approximately 58.0m AOD at the northern end to 59.0m AOD at the southern end. The large existing industrial unit and the industrial estate access road immediately to the west are at a lower level of approximately 56.8m AOD. The main road (A4067) to the east is at a similar level to the development site.

2.4 Soils, Geology & Hydrogeology

Site soils are described as loamy in texture and freely draining according to the Cranfield University Soilscapes Viewer.

The geology at the site is described as superficial alluvial deposits (clay, silt, sand and gravel) overlying mudstone, siltstone and sandstone bedrock, according to the BGS Geology of Britain Viewer.

The aquifer designation of the sedimentary bedrock is Secondary A (capable of supporting water supplies at a local rather than strategic scale). The site is not in a groundwater Source Protection Zone area.

2.5 History

The area in the vicinity of the site was historically the location of the Ystalafera Iron & Tin Plate Works. An overlay showing the site location in relation to the 1910 OS Map is shown in Figure 3.

3. Proposed Development

3.1 Layout

The proposed development consists of two industrial sheds housing seven business starter units, with associated access road and parking spaces.

The existing industrial estate access road is to be realigned to run some 7m closer to the existing adjacent industrial building, to increase the developable area of the plot.

Proposed architectural plans and elevations are included in Appendix B.

3.2 Levels

Proposed carpark and building floor levels are not yet finalised, although it is anticipated that proposed ground levels will be similar to existing levels, with small localised differences due to cut/fill redistribution to flatten out the bank at the northern site boundary.

The realigned access road profile will need to be set to ensure suitable access to both the proposed site and tie in to the adjacent large existing industrial unit.

4. Planning Policy and Flood Risk

4.1 Proposed Development and TAN 15

The development proposal is for industrial units on brownfield land in an industrial area of Ystalafera. Industrial development is classified as ‘less vulnerable’ development in TAN 15.

The Development Advice Map (DAM) is a flood map published by NRW for land use planning purposes. It is used alongside Planning Policy Wales and Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15 to direct new development in respect to flood risk. Together, they form a precautionary framework to guide planning applications.

The map is based on Natural Resource Wales' extreme flood outlines (zone C) and the British Geological Survey drift data (zone B). Zone B data was originally published 2004 and updated in 2017. Zone C data is revised quarterly by ongoing hydraulic modelling and represents areas affected by flooding in events with up to a 1 in 1000 annual chance of occurring (0.1% Annual Event Probability), but no allowance for future climate change.

The Development Advice Map in the vicinity of the proposed development is included in Appendix C. The Map shows that the development site currently lies within the blue shaded zone C2 area, defined as “areas of the floodplain without significant flood defence infrastructure”.

TAN15 provides for less vulnerable development in zone C2, subject to application of the justification test, including acceptability of consequences.

4.2 Justification Test

TAN15 Section 6 states that development will be justified if it can be demonstrated that:

1. Its location in zone C is necessary to assist or be part of a local authority regeneration initiative or a local authority strategy required to sustain an existing settlement; or

2. Its location in zone C is necessary to contribute to key employment objectives supported by the local authority, and other key partners, to sustain an existing settlement or region; and

3. It concurs with the aims of Planning Policy Wales and meets the definition of previously developed land; and

4. The potential consequences of a flooding event for the particular type of development have been considered and found to be acceptable.

In this case this development is considered to meet the second and third criteria, whilst the fourth is supported by updated flood modelling undertaken specifically for this FCA, as described in Section 6 and Appendix D of this report.

5. Existing Flood Risk Review

5.1 Historical Flooding

The site has not experienced any flooding in the past according to NRW’s map of historical flood outlines.

5.2 Fluvial Flood Risk

The NRW Zone 2 & 3 Map in Appendix C shows the lower part of the site in zone 3 (up to 1 in 100 annual chance of flooding) and the remaining higher part of the site in zone 2 (up to 1 in 1000 annual chance of flooding).

This map also indicates that the zone 3 area is classed as ‘area benefitting from flood defences’, although this area is not shown as green-coloured zone C1 (defended) on the DAM Map.

A additional ‘Flood Zone Plan’ is included in Appendix C, showing flood zones 2 & 3 overlaid on an map which also includes the site topographical survey, lidar ground elevation data and OS watercourses.

It is important to note that this is the fluvial flood risk as shown on the current (existing) flood maps which guide the planning process. The updated fluvial flood modelling described in Section 6 effectively supersedes this existing fluvial flood risk.

5.3 Surface Water Flood Risk

The surface water flood risk map included in Appendix C shows a high risk area along the existing access road to the industrial estate, with the remainder of the development plot in very low or low risk area.

The existing access road will be reprofiled and drained as part of this development proposal. Furthermore the development site itself will be subject to sustainable drainage design/SAB approval and as such it is considered unlikely that the proposed development will increase the risk of surface water flooding or the rate and volume of surface water runoff.

5.4 Reservoir Flood Risk

The development site is not at risk of flooding from reservoir failure according to NRW’s flood risk mapping.

5.5 Groundwater Flood Risk

The development site is not in an area prone to groundwater flooding according to available BGS mapping, which is supported by NPT’s Local Flood Risk Management Strategy which states that there are no specific areas of groundwater flooding recorded historically in the NPT area.

6. Hydraulic Modelling

6.1 Existing Hydraulic Model

This section of the report will reassess the flood risk indicated by the DAM maps and establish whether the consequences of the risk of flooding may be considered acceptable.

The current DAM Map flood outline in the site locality is informed by the results of flood modelling undertaken in 2016 by JBA Consulting for the Ysgol Gyfun Ystalafera Flood Consequences Assessment. This model was in turn based largely on a 2013 Cwm Twrch 1D-2D model also developed by JBA Consulting on behalf of NRW.

The hydrology calculations from 2016 have now become outdated due to ongoing developments in hydrology methods, guidance and data availability. As part of this development FCA, updated hydrology and modelling has been commissioned.

6.2 Updated Hydraulic Modelling

The updated modelling undertaken by JBA Consulting for this FCA encompassed updated hydrology (input flow) calculations, more realistic application of input flows and 1D model updates. Model scenarios were run using the latest TUFLOW software and current climate change (30%) allowance.

A Technical Note from JBA Consulting summarising the updated modelling exercise, is included in Appendix D of this report.

Results from the updated modelling show that the proposed development floods in neither the 1 in 100 (1%) AEP with climate change allowance, nor the 1 in 1000 (0.1%) AEP. The 0.1% AEP flood map extent is shown in Figure 4.

Flooding is shown to emanate from the right bank of the Afon Twrch some 1km upstream of the site at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalafera. The overland flood flow-path is then southerly before ponding around Varteg Road, but does not reach beyond the roundabout towards the development site.

TAN15 guidelines require a flood-free development level for fluvial flood risk of 1% (1 in 100 annual chance) probability over the lifetime of the development. The updated modelling results displayed in Figure 4 show that the proposed development would be compliant with the flood-free development level criteria (A1.14) of TAN15. Consequently it is clear that no ground level alterations would be required in order to meet this criteria.

Emergency access/egress to/from the site needs to be considered in light of the TAN15 recommendations. The map in Figure 4 indicates that the immediate site access road and mini-roundabout would be flood free during the 0.1% AEP event. The main A4067 Glan Yr Afon road roundabout is shown to suffer flooding up to a depth of 0.6m on the eastern side, which is within the “maximum permissible floodwater depth over the defined route during extreme flooding” figure of 1.0m given in A1.15 of TAN15.

https://d.docs.live.net/9692ee99776ac28f/Documents/Tulip Engineering Consultancy/Jobs/J009 - Swansea Valley Ind Est FCA/Production/Data - Internal/FCA - Swansea Valley Ind Est.docx

Whilst access to the A4067 during the 0.1% APE event may be hampered, the availability of the B4599 would be unaffected and would allow for safe evacuation from the site or access for emergency vehicles if required.

The ‘no flooding elsewhere’ criterion of TAN15 is considered negligible in this assessment since it has been demonstrated that the site would not flood during either the 1%CC or 0.1% AEP events.

7. Conclusions & Recommendations

• This planning application is for industrial development (classed as less vulnerable in TAN15) on brownfield land at Swansea Valley Business Park.

• The requirement for this FCA is due to the proposed development site location in the flood plain (zone C2 of the current Welsh Government Development Advice Map).

• However, updated flood modelling undertaken specifically for this FCA for this development, has demonstrated that the proposed development site is outside the flood plain, that is, flood-free during both the 1%CC and 0.1% AEP events.

• The most up to date analysis of flood risk to the site is therefore shown to be less than that suggested by the current DAM Map, and the key TAN15 acceptability tests in relation to flood-free floor level, no flooding elsewhere and access/egress are all met by default.

• The proposed development is compliant with all key aspects of TAN15 and as such it is considered that this land is suitable for industrial development in relation to planning policy and flood risk.

1 Introduction

1.1 Terms of reference

JBA Consulting have been commissioned by P & C James to undertake hydraulic

modelling of the Afon Twrch and Afon Tawe to support a proposed new development at

Swansea Valley Business Park in Glanyafon, Ystalyfera in West Wales. The hydraulic

modelling required the updating the existing modelling in the study area as well as

updating the hydrological estimates applied to this model.

1.2 Study area

The proposed development site is located on Glan Yr Avon road in Glanyafon. The Afon

Tawe flows approximately 50m to the south-east of the proposed development from

north to south. The Afon Twrch is located approximately 685m to the north-east of the

proposed development. The Ordnance Survey (OS) National Grid Reference for the site

is SN 76966 09006.

1.3 Proposed development and planning policy

The proposed development is for industrial units on brownfield land. Industrial

development is classified in Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15 as 'less vulnerable'

development (Welsh Assembly Government, 2004).

The proposed development site is currently within Natural Resources Wales

(NRW)Development Advice Map (DAM) Zone C2, defined as areas at risk of flooding

'without significant flood defence infrastructure' (Welsh Assembly Government, 2004).

The NRW Flood Map is informed by the results of the 2016 Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera Flood

Consequence Assessment (FCA) 1D-2D model. This model was developed by JBA

Consulting as part of an FCA for a school building at the Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera Primary

School. The 2016 model is largely based on a 2013 Cwm Twrch 1D-2D Flood Hazard

Modelling model, also developed by JBA Consulting on behalf of Natural Resources Wales

(NRW). The main changes undertaken in 2016, were to include the latest LIDAR, update

the representation of the footbridge between Glan Yr Avon and Glanwrch as well as to

update the hydrological inflow for the Afon Twrch.

NRW’s DAM showing of the proposed development location is shown in Figure 1-1.

2 Flood risk assessment

2.1 Hydraulic model

The 2016 Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera Flood Consequence Assessment 1D-2D model was

updated to assess the flood risk at the Swansea Valley Business Park site.

2.2 Hydrology

The hydrology calculated in 2016 is now outdated due to developments in hydrology

methods, guidance and data availability. Therefore, new hydrological inflows were

generated for both the Afon Tawe and Afon Twrch. The updated flows have been

developed using the Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) Statistical method as QMED was

has been improved by using local donors. Full details of the method used to generate

the peak flows can be found in the flood estimation report, in Appendix A. Peak flows

derived for this study are provided in Table 2-1.

Table 2-1: Estimated peak flows

The updated hydrology was incorporated within the model as shown in Figure 2-1.

Within the 2016 modelling, the intervening area hydrograph between Taw_01 and

Taw_02 was applied as two point inflows. This method has been updated so that the

inflow is spread equally across all model nodes on the Afon Tawe. This method has been

selected as an inspection of aerial imagery, mapping and LIDAR data shows that there

are a large number of small drains on the left bank of the Afon Tawe that drain into the

channel throughout the reach represented in the model.

2.3 1D model updates

The following updates have been made to the 2016 model to ensure that it is in line with

current modelling best practice:

• All bridge 'B' channel types have been changed to the newer 'BB' channel type, which

automatically calculates losses. Form Loss Values for these structures have been

updated to 0.001, unless piers are present at the structures.

• All weir 'W' channel types have been changed to the newer 'WW' channel type. Each

structure has been reviewed and an appropriate Cd value selected.

2.4 TUFLOW version

The updated model was simulated with the new hydrology using TUFLOW version

2018-03-AE-iSP-w64.

2.5 Model Scenarios

Simulations were completed for the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) event

with an allowance for climate change (plus 30% (Welsh Government, 2016) and 0.1%

AEP event. The modelling files are shown in Table 2-2.

3 Modelling Results

3.1 Mapped Results

3.1.1 Updated 1% AEP plus Climate Change (30%)

Results from the updated modelling show that the proposed development site does not

3.1.2 Baseline 0.1% AEP event

Results from the updated modelling show that proposed development site does not flood

during the 0.1% AEWP event. Out of bank flooding occurs on the right bank of the Afon

Twrch at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera, which flows south before ponding around Varteg Road,

approximately 160m to the east of the proposed development. The maximum depths for

this modelled event are shown in Figure 3-2.

3.2 Model performance

• The model ran stably for all events. The model simulation time was approximately 1

hour.

• Peak mass error was 0.50% which occurred during the 0.1% AEP event. This is within

the acceptable limit of +/-1%.

• No negative depths occurred in either the 1D or 2D domain for any of the model

simulations undertaken as part of this study.

• A total of 36 check and warning messages were generated during the simulation.

None of them are messages that didn't occur during the original modelling.

3.3 Modelling assumptions and limitations

• No further updates have been made to the 2016 model, other than those detailed in

Section 2.

• The hydraulic modelling does not represent flooding from; surface water,

groundwater or sewers.

4 Conclusions and recommendations

• JBA Consulting were commissioned by P & C James to undertake hydraulic modelling

to inform an FCA for a proposed development site at Swansea Valley Business Park,

Ystalyfera.

• The Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera FCA model, developed in 2016 by JBA Consulting was

updated as part of this study. The 1D structure model representation and inflow

hydrology was updated to comply with the latest methods and guidance.

• The updated model was simulated using the latest software version to generate flood

risk mapping for the 1% AEP event with an allowance for climate change and the

0.1% AEP events.

• Results from the updated modelling show that the proposed development floods in

neither the 1% AEP plus climate change event nor the 0.1% AEP event.

1 Method statement

1.1 Requirements for flood estimates

Overview The purpose of the study is to update an existing 1D-2D model of the

Afon Tawe and Afon Twrch at Ystalyfera, South Wales, determine the

flood risk for a development site at Swansea Valley Business Park

(approximate NGR 276499, 208214). This requires a new hydrological

assessment for the location of interest to ensure that the most

appropriate flood flow estimates are used in the model, using the latest

methods, data and software.

Design peak flow estimates and hydrographs are required for the

purposes of the hydraulic modelling and will be generated for a range of

annual exceedance probability (AEP) events. However, for the purposes

of this study, only the 1% and 0.1% AEP events are required to be

modelled.

The effects of climate change will be accounted for using the latest

guidance1. An uplift of 30% will be made to the 1% AEP flow estimates,

based on the location of the catchment within the Western Wales district.

Project scope The study is being undertaken for a small development application; the

project scope reflects this purpose. There is a limited amount of time

available for the hydrological assessment, which constrains the

complexity to a routine assessment:

• Brief Internet search only for information on historical flooding.

• No rating reviews or flood event analysis for local gauges.

• No consideration of fluvial-fluvial joint probability of flooding from the

Afon Tawe and Afon Twrch.

• Previous hydrological analysis will be assessed to identify if this can

be made use of within the current study.

Description

The Afon Tawe rises in the Brecon Beacons near Moel Feity. It flows in a south-

westerly direction to Swansea, where it discharges into the Bristol Channel. The

topography is steep throughout the catchment. The main tributaries are the

River Twrch which joins the Tawe at Ystalyfera, the Cwm Du at Ynsmeudwy, the

Upper Clydach River at Pontardawe and Cwm Clydach joins the Tawe

downstream at Clydach.

The Afon Tawe has a catchment area of approximately 924m2 just upstream of

the confluence with the Twrch.

The Afon Twrch rises in the Black Mountains near Llyn y Fan Fach and flows in

a southerly direction to the Afon Tawe at Ystalyfera. The main tributaries are

the Nant Gyws and the Afon Llynfell. The Afon Twrch catchment is

approximately 50km2 at the confluence with the Tawe.

Both catchments are essentially rural with most urbanisation concentrated in

the lower catchment and along the watercourses. The main settlements within

the Twrch catchment are Cwmllynfell, Cwm-twrch Uchaf, Cwm-twrch Isaf and

Gurnos before the Twrch joins the Tawe at Ystalyfera. There are former

opencast mine workings in the lower catchment and some forested areas.

The British Geological Survey website2 1:50,000 scale mapping shows the

catchment to be underlain by the following:

• Upper catchment:

o Upper and Lower Devonian Rocks (undifferentiated) – sandstone

and conglomerate, interbedded

o Dinantian Rocks (undifferentiated) – limestone with subordinate

sandstone and argillaceous rocks, with some superficial deposits

of till

o Millstone Grit Group – mudstone, siltstone and sandstone, with

some superficial deposits of till

• Lower catchment:

o Pennine and South Wales Lower and Middle Coal Measures

Formations – mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, coal, ironstone

and ferricrete, with some superficial deposits of till

o South Wales Upper Coal Measures Formation – mudstone,

siltstone, sandstone, coal, ironstone and ferricrete.

Soils in the upper catchment are mostly described as slowly permeable, wet,

very acid upland soils. Downstream of Ystradgynlais, soils are more mixed

including some areas of freely draining acid loamy soils3.

The catchment response to rainfall is likely to be rapid due to the steep

topography and reasonably impermeable geology and soils. The historical

mining operations may have changed the natural runoff response of the

catchment. It is difficult to determine the exact consequences of this, certainly

not without a detailed investigation of available data; this assessment is not

within the scope of the study.

1.6 Hydrological understanding of catchment

Conceptual model The main site of interest is the proposed development site on the right

bank of the River Tawe, downstream of the confluence of the Twrch

and Tawe.

Peak flows in the Afon Twrch and Tawe exceeding the channel capacity

is the most likely cause of flooding to the site. There is a road bridge

and footbridge across the Afon Tawe adjacent to the site; these do not

appear to be a significant constriction to flow.

Unusual catchment

features

There are former opencast mine workings within the catchments. It is

not known how these will affect runoff response from the catchment

and they have not been specifically considered within this assessment

(not within scope).

1.7 Initial choice of approach

Is FEH appropriate? Yes

Initial choice of method(s)

and reasons

How will hydrograph shapes

be derived if needed?

Will the catchment be split

into sub-catchments? If so,

how?

Both FEH Statistical and ReFH2 methods are suitable for flood

flow estimation for the Afon Twrch and Tawe catchments. The

catchments are not large, permeable or urbanised.

The FEH Statistical and ReFH2 methods will both be applied,

and the results compared as there no clear reason to prefer

one method over the other at this stage.

Hydrograph shapes will be derived using the ReFH2 model.

If the FEH Statistical method generates the preferred design

peak flow estimates, the ReFH2 hydrographs will be fitted to

the Statistical peaks.

Intervening area catchment descriptors will be derived for the

area between lumped catchment flow estimation points.

Lateral inflows will be applied to the model across this reach,

if required.

Note: Lumped catchments (L) are complete catchments draining to points at which design flows are required.

Sub-catchments (S) are catchments or intervening areas that are being used as inputs to a semi-distributed model of the river system. There is no need to report any design flows for sub-catchments, as they are not relevant: the relevant result is the hydrograph that the sub-catchment is expected to contribute to a design flood event at a point further downstream in the river system. This will be recorded within the hydraulic model output files. However, catchment descriptors and ReFH model parameters should be recorded for sub-catchments so that the results can be reproduced.

The schematic diagram illustrates the distinction between lumped and sub-catchment estimates.

2.3 Checking catchment descriptors

Record how catchment

boundary was checked

and describe any

changes

The catchment boundaries exported from the FEH Web Service were

compared to Ordnance Survey (OS) contour mapping8, spot

heights9 and 2m LiDAR data. The catchment boundaries from the

FEH Web Service appear reasonable and correlate with the mapping

for the upstream catchment to the study site.

Some minor discrepancies were found between the FEH catchment

boundaries and the contours, spot heights and watercourse lines.

One noted difference was with the TWR_01 catchment boundary in

the south-western corner. It was decided to retain the FEH

catchment area which is the larger value and will therefore be more

conservative, as done in the 2016 study.

Record how other

catchment descriptors

were checked and

describe any changes.

A qualitative check of the FEH Web Service BFIHOST values was

undertaken by comparing it to the geology and soils detailed in

Section Error! Reference source not found.. The BFIHOST value

is consistent with the geology and soils shown to underlie the

catchments.

The FARL values for all flow estimation points are supported by OS

mapping which shows only small online ponds on the rivers.

A qualitative check of the URBEXT2000 values were made by

comparing the FEH Web service values to current OS mapping. The

value is as would be expected for an essentially rural catchment

with a small amount of urbanisation in the lower extent. No changes

were made except to update URBEXT2000 to the current year (2019).

The QMED adjustment factor A/B for each donor site is given in Table 3.2. This is moderated using the power term, a, which is a function of the distance between the centroids of the subject catchment and the donor catchment. The final

estimate of QMED is: (A/B)a x QMEDinitial x UAF

Important note on urban adjustment

The method used to adjust QMED for urbanisation published in Kjeldsen (2010)11 in which PRUAF is calculated from BFIHOST is not correctly applied in WINFAP-FEH v3.0.003. Significant differences occur only on urban catchments that are highly permeable.

3.2 Search for donor sites for QMED (if applicable)

Comment

on potential

donor sites

Hydrology estimations were carried out in 2016 by JBA for the Afon Twrch. The

two donor sites used in the 2016 study have been retained for the current study.

Potential donor sites were investigated using the function within WINFAP

coupled with the National River Flow Archive (NRFA) website to search for

nearby gauges. Their catchment descriptor derived QMED value was compared

with their observed QMED value to determine the magnitude of the adjustment

factor.

Six stations were considered in detail as donors for the TAW_01 and TAW_02

catchments:

• 58002 – Neath at Resolven

• 58006 – Mellte at Pontneddfechan

• 58008 – Dulais at Cilfrew

• 59001 – Tawe at Ynystanglws

• 59002 – Loughor at Tir-y-dail

• 60009 – Sawdde at Felin-y-cwm

60009 and 59002 were rejected as the SAAR value was significantly lower than

the study catchments and they had the highest QMED adjustment factors.

59001 is on the Afon Tawe but located several kilometres downstream of the

study site; catchment centroids for the study catchments are the closest to this

gauge. It also has similar FARL (0.996) and BFIHOST (0.407) values, however

the SAAR value (1890mm) is lower than the study catchments.

58008 has similar FARL (0.999), BFIHOST (0.377) and URBEXT (0.0181)

values, but also has a lower SAAR value (1806mm) than the study catchments.

58002 and 58006 have the most similar SAAR values to the study catchments,

however they have lower FARL values (0.983 and 0.975 respectively), indicating

a greater attenuation to lakes and reservoirs.

58008 and 58006 have the lowest QMED adjustment factors.

58008 and 59001 are the two closest gauges to TAW_01. 58002 and 59001 are

the two closest gauges to TAW_02.

It was decided than an equal weighting of 59001 and 58008 was most

appropriate for both TAW_01 and TAW_02 catchments to adjust QMED. This is

consistent with the approach used for TWR_01.

3.4 Derivation of pooling groups

In order to avoid discontinuities in flow estimates along watercourses it is useful to use as

decided to use a separate pooling group for each location in this case.

Methods: SS – Single site; P – Pooled; ESS – Enhanced single site; J – Joint analysis

A pooling group (or ESS analysis) derived at one gauge can be applied to estimate growth curves at a number of ungauged sites. Each site may have a different urban adjustment, and therefore different growth curve parameters.

Urban adjustments are all carried out using the method of Kjeldsen (2010).

Growth curves were derived using the procedures from Science Report SC050050 (2008).

Are the storm durations likely to

be changed in the next stage of

the study, e.g. by optimisation

within a hydraulic model?

Yes, all inflow hydrographs will use a 9.5 hour storm

duration and an areal reduction factor based on the

TAW_01 location. This is the flow estimation point closest

to the site of interest (development site).

5 Discussion and summary of results

5.1 Comparison of results from different methods

This table compares peak flows from various methods with those from the FEH Statistical

method at example sites for two key return periods. Blank cells indicate that results for a

particular site were not calculated using that method.

Site

code

Ratio of peak flow to FEH Statistical peak

50% AEP 1% AEP

ReFH2/FEH ReFH2/FEH

TWR_01 0.89 0.80

TAW_01 0.95 0.94

TAW_02 0.97 0.97

5.2 Final choice of method

Choice of method and

reasons

The comparison of 50% and 1% AEP flows in Section 5.1 shows that

the ReFH2 peak flow estimates are lower than the FEH Statistical

flows. The difference is larger for the Afon Twrch, with the 1% AEP

event estimate from ReFH2 method being 20% lower than that from

the FEH Statistical method. For the Afon Tawe the difference is only

3%-6%.

FEH Statistical is the preferred method for generating the design peak

flow estimates for the study catchment as QMED has been improved

using local donors. ReFH2 is based on catchment descriptors only. It

is recommended that the FEH Statistical method peak flow estimates

are taken forward but with the ratio from ReFH2 applied to events

above 1% AEP, as recommended in NRW guidance12.

How will the flows be

applied to a hydraulic

model?

TWR_01 will be input as a point inflow to the top of the Afon Twrch

watercourse model extent in the hydraulic model. TAW_02 will be

input as a point inflow to the top of the Afon Tawe watercourse model

extent in the hydraulic model. TAW_01A will be distributed along the

Afon Tawe, between TAW_02 and TAW_01. Modelled flows will be

checked against the target flows at TAW_01 and adjustments made

to the intervening area hydrographs, if required.

5.3 Assumptions, limitations and uncertainty

List the main

assumptions made

(specific to this

study)

The main assumptions are:

• The FEH Web Service catchment boundary definition is

reasonable, although there are some inaccuracies when

compared to contour data and watercourse lines.

• Stations 58008 and 59001 are the most representative local

donors with similar catchment descriptors and characteristics

to the three study catchments and hence a similar flood

response.

• The pooling groups used to define the growth curve for the

FEH Statistical method is representative of the catchments.

• The ReFH2 model generates a representative hydrograph

shape for the watercourses.

AAA-JBAU-XX-00-RP-HO-0001-S0-P01-FEH_Calculation_Record 17

Discuss any particular

limitations

The main limitations are:

• There is no reported flood history for the development site

against which the design peak flow estimates can be verified.

• There is no flow gauge on the Afon Twrch which can be used

as a donor.

Give what

information you can

on uncertainty in the

results,

A UK average measure of uncertainty for the FEH Statistical method

is presented in a technical report13 generated by a R&D project into

FEH, local data and uncertainty (Environment Agency funded

consortium of JBA, CEH and others).

The 95% confidence limits for a 1% AEP flood estimate for a rural

catchment (URBEXT2000 < 0.03) are 0.47-2.12 times the best estimate

with a donor adjustment of QMED (one donor). Note: Confidence

limits are provided for no donor, one donor and six donors; values are

not provided for two donors.

It is not possible to directly quantify the uncertainty for the ReFH2

method.

Comment on the

suitability of the

results for future

studies,

The design peak flow estimates and hydrographs were derived for the

purposes of this modelling study. If peak flow estimates and

hydrographs are required for a different purpose it is recommended

that, at minimum, a review of the results is carried out.

5.4 Checks

Are the results

consistent, for

example at

confluences?

Yes, flow estimates increase downstream. The sum of flows at

TWR_01 and TAW_02 are larger than the flow at TAW_01, as would

be expected (peak flows from the Twrch and Tawe are unlikely to

coincide).

What do the results

imply regarding the

return periods of

floods during the

period of record?

There are no gauges within the study area to compare flow estimates

to.

What is the range of

100-year growth

factors? Is this

realistic?

The 1% AEP growth factor for the methods is:

• FEH Statistical: 2.18 - 2.38

• ReFH2: 2.15 - 2.20

The typical range is 2.1-4.0 therefore both methods are at the lower

extent of, but within, the range. This is consistent with the 2016

study.

If 1000-year flows

have been derived,

what is the range of

ratios for 1000-year

flow over 100-year

flow?

The 0.1% / 1% AEP event ratio for the methods is:

• FEH Statistical: 1.48 - 1.57

• ReFH2: 1.56 – 1.59

How do the results

compare with those

of other studies?

Explain any

differences and

conclude which

results should be

preferred.

JBA Consulting undertook flood modelling studies in 2013 and 2016,

one of the flow estimation points is at the same location as used for

this study (TWR_01) – the Afon Twrch just upstream of the confluence

with the Afon Tawe. The flow estimates for all three studies can

therefore be directly compared. The estimates for the 50%, 1% and

0.1% AEP events are provided in the table below.

2016 68 146 231

2019 68 157 249

There is limited information regarding the approach undertaken for

the 2013 study. However, the main difference for the 2013 study to

the 2016 and current study is that QMED was adjusted using the

Gurnos gauging station and the adjustment was applied directly

without the distance weighting. The Gurnos gauge was not used for

this study or in 2016 as it has been level-only since 2003. Also a storm

duration of 6.5hr was used for the 2013 study.

The 2019 50% AEP event flow estimate is ~2% lower than the 2016

study. The 2019 1% and 0.1% AEP event flow estimates are ~7%

larger than the 2016 study.

The 2016 study FEH Statistical flow estimates are based on QMED

adjusted using the same donors as this study (58008 and 59001). A

storm duration of 8.5hr was also used in the 2016 study to generate

ReFH2 peak flow estimates. However, a slightly different pooling

group was used in the 2019 study compared to the 2016 study which

may explain some differences in flow estimates.

The latest peak flow data (NRFA v7) has been used in the pooling

group analysis for this 2019 study. This contains an additional two

years of data (for gauging stations in England, Wales & Northern

Ireland) compared to the dataset used in the 2016 study. Therefore

the 2019 results should be preferred as these use the latest methods,

data and guidance.

Are the results

compatible with the

longer-term flood

history?

There is no information on reported flooding of the study site to make

this assessment.

Describe any other

checks on the results

Following the initial model run, the flows will be sense-checked to

ensure that the flow inputs result in realistic outputs. Modelled flows

at TAW_01 will be checked against target flows for this location and

adjustments made to the intervening area hydrographs, if required.

5.5 Final results

These estimates have been generated using the FEH Statistical method with QMED adjusted using an equal weighting of Stations 59001 and 58008 for TWR_01, TAW_01 & TAW_02. The ReFH2 ratio has been applied to events above the 1% AEP event.
