Next Generation Supplier Arrangement (NGSA)

• Through NGSA, we are transforming the way we work with

suppliers and modernising our approach

• Current WEM framework is coming to a close

• New Collaborative Delivery Framework (schemes £250k to

£50m) and specialist frameworks

• 6 Collaborative delivery teams nationally, each team

will include Environment Agency and delivery partner

staff

• There will be a separately appointed consultant and

contractor in each team

• Tender process is being finalised and the outcome is

due in March 2019

• RMA’s will be able to use the Framework – if

required – separate details to be issued

• Local contributions = £15.0m (Port of Immingham, South Ferriby)

• PF contributions pursued = £ 1.0m (South Ferriby – to further offset FCRM GiA)

*Above figures to be consented by EA Board (Feb 2019)

Outcomes :

• Households better protected = 26,800

• Intertidal habitat = 106 ha

SOUTH FERRIBY Flood Alleviation Scheme

• Full BC assured. FSoD expected Feb 2019 - £11.8m Capital

• Includes defence realignment – future sustainability

• Planning Application – determination by 22 March by NLC

• Enabling works winter 2018/19. Works Spring 2019

• £5.9m contributions reduce need for GiA from £8m to £5.9m

• Further funding bids being pursued to reduce GiA further –

£0.6m HE, £0.25m Lottery Fund, £0.25m AWS & LEP LGF?

• Strong partnership with CEMEX: 60,000 tonnes clay

stockpiled so far.

Lessons Learnt: • Surrender your commercial

advantage to single source

supplier, thro’ PDU?

• Who carries out env. surveys?

Local or national supplier?

• How do you manage risk from local

archaeology? Time/cost impact.

• Partnership - can/can’t do.

• Legal advice and non-dedicated

resource affect programmes.

Saltfleet to Gibraltar Point Strategy Review

• Feb 2018 - public consultation: • Preferred option – Beach with control structures • Reduces long-term sand volume and frequency

• PFCalc > 100% FCRM GiA…. but: • Affordability implications • Programme delivery challenges

• Spring 2019: Draft Strategy consultation

• 2020/2021: LPRG approval

• 2021 and beyond – delivery of on site works

• Up to 2021 – Lincolnshire Beach

Management 3 year contract to continue

(annual sand re-nourishment)

• 2019 campaign from May (Brexit permitting)

2021+ Pipeline programme Initial Assessments: • Continuing programme to inform 2019 programme refresh (May-June 2019)

• More certainty ahead of CSR20 negotiations with Defra/HMT

• Priority projects – risk based approach, greatest outcomes, spend and contributions

Current outline 2021+ pipeline programme (to 2027?) • Driven by emerging outputs of Humber and Lincs Coastal Strategy Reviews

• Pipeline programme needs more delivery certainty through 2019/20 & 2020/21

• South Humber pipeline estimated at £43.1M (5x large projects)

• Lincolnshire coastal works >£100M - affordability and delivery challenges

• Very significant contributions/funding still to be identified

• Strategic outcome apportionment to optimise FCERM GiA with other RMAs underway

• Separate tidal and ‘rainfall’ economic justification – asset led approach

South Humber bank – 2021+ pipeline projects

Immingham - Freshney (£6.5M) • Along 7.0km - >5000 prop’s & >£1Bn industry

• Asset strengthening and refurbishment

• Considering 4 MR and IDB outfalls

Barton to New Holland & Barton ‘west’ (£15-20M) • Combined appraisal – joint benefits/outcomes 1500+ properties

• Habitat and recreation challenges and opportunities

• Barrow Haven outfall – highest risk but low BCR on own

Cleethorpes - Humberston (£4.0M+) • >1700 properties and economic benefits

• With NELC to reduce risk to tourism amenities

• Various strategic options being considered

• Private caravan and chalet parks = contributions?

Halton Marshes phase 2 (£4.0M+) • Realigned defence at existing Ro-Ro port complex

• With NLC to enable growth and development

• Significant contributions likely to be needed

Partnerships & Strategic Overview Officer,

Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Area

Background

• Change to SMP Policy Unit P

- current – hold the line

- acceleration of policy in Epoch 3

• Tidal Surge of December 2013

- 400m cross bank breached in 5 locations

- tidal surge in excess of 0.5% design tide

- no properties were flooded

Tidal inundation

Dec 2013

Partnership working

• Natural England & Lincs Wildlife Trust

- located in Gibraltar Point SSSI/SPA/Ramsar/SAC

- Gibraltar Point Coastal Wetland Adaptation Study

- 2014 repaired low spots in dune system

- under Natural England licence

- continued protection to Aylmer Avenue

• Consultation with SMP partners

- Lincolnshire County Council

Current Situation

• Low spots to back bank filled in 2014 - repaired to design tidal defence standard

• Modelling highlighted no risk to properties - overtopping migrates into tidal floodplain

- local area can accommodate flows

• Options considered (a) repair (Est. £70,000)

(b) replace (Est. £300,000)

(c) move defence line to Western dune

(d) move defence line / revise flood warning thresholds

• Promoted approach - option (c) is preferred with (d) instigated short term

Benefits • Restoration of brackish habitat

• May reduce the future SMP risks of coastal squeeze

Future outlook

• Agreement from NECG

• Approach RFCC – April 2019
