Our waste Regulatory Officers visited the scrapyard and agreed with the operator what mitigating action needs to happen to prevent similar releases in future. The quay is used for bulk loading of waste materials which can include scrap and tyre crumb on an ad hoc basis however waste material is not stored permanently in this area. When the bund is in use the drainage holes are blocked off, so water is contained within the bund.

As yet a definitive cause has not been found. This incident has been classified as a major event requiring a multi-agency response from the EA, NEIFCA, DEFAS, HSE, MMO and local authorities. Conclusion: Dead and dying crabs and lobsters were washed ashore in unusually large numbers, along parts of the North East coast, between October and December 2021. Crabs and lobsters were the only species that appear to have been affected by the incident. Dying crabs and lobsters displayed characteristic ‘twitching’ and lethargic behaviour. An extensive range of testing was undertaken over several months by Defra group agencies. Evidence suggests that a harmful algal bloom was the most likely cause of this incident. ; Other potential causes including chemical contamination, dredging, and discharges, and disease were also investigated. These all proved to be highly improbable reasons for the event and this view was supported following an independent scientific review.|

The site was back to normal at 23:40 and operating at normal levels.; |At approx. 17:10 On the 6th September 2022 during heavy rainfall consisting of 22.5mm in a period of 35 minutes flows into Withernsea Memorial Gardens SPS increased quickly to overflow levels. Initially the sites pumped overflow operated delivering flow to the overflow south of the town at grid ref E:534985 N:427006. Due to the amount of rainfall this was soon followed by the gravity overflow at Grid Ref E:534405 N:427925. The SPS building itself suffered minor internal flooding due to covers and vents releasing flow into the site.

They seem to be a mixture of old and new, see attached photo of the few he collected.

As there was no failure of the electrical drives the system controls believed the site was working as it should so there was no alarm generated to alert the standby operator to any faults. The incident resulted in a short duration overflow of screened and de-gritted sewage into the North Sea via the long sea outfall. Based on the low night-time foul flows combined with rainfall diluting flows shortly before the discharge together with favourable tidal conditions the dilution factor would have been exceptionally high. Conclusion: Therefore, incident unlikely to have had a detrimental impact to the environment.|

A&R team member (marine) investigated beaches in the north of the Area to assess whether similar observations seen. Observations confirmed presence of lots of coal dust indicative of rough seas. No mussels observed however given geographical location this was expected as no mussel beds in these areas. Presence of coal dust along the NE shores indicated rough seas and could account for the black debris observed by the reporter. It is also likely that the levels of coal dust observed could change the taste and chemical composition of the sea water and explain the change in taste etc observed by the reporter. Conclusion: natural wash up after rough seas given no other signs of pollution.|

NWL Production operators in attendance however they were unable to gain immediate access to the SPS control panel housed within a block of residential flats. A tanker was requested to reduce levels and access was eventually gained to the control panel and the pumping station returned to normal operation later the same evening. Based on low flows, sample data and photographic evidence suggests no impact on the receiving water however discharge from unmapped SW outfall into Marina, which is a still body of water, offers dilution but no dispersal. Marina sample for Ammonium at time of discharge was 0.3 mg/ l, which is an increase from the samples taken 3 days later of 0.138 and 0.174 mg/ l which were used as a baseline reading for Ammonium in the Marina. Samples taken 3 days later to assess baseline Ammonium levels could have been picking up residual levels from the earlier discharge due to lack of water movement and may not have been a true indication of baseline levels in the Marina, which may be lower.|
