purpose

f

this

exhibition

is

to

show

you the proposed

scheme

for

Kilbirnie,

Glengarnock and

Dalry. North

D

the flood

risk

We

have used c

m

p u t e r

m

d

e l l i n g to e s t i m a t e the l i k e l i h

d
f

f looding

in K i l b i r n i e ,

Glengarnock and D a l r y f rom the River Garnock and

its tributaries. We

estimated what

flood fl

w

s

c a n be expected

in the rivers

b a s e d

n

p a s t events.

We

then applied

this i n f

r

m a t i

n

to the

computer model which contains the

river

c h a n n e l ,

structures

and

flood

plain, a l l

w

i n g

u s

to

see which areas may be

at

r i s k .

This gives u s

a

best e s t i m a t e

f

the

f l

od

e x t e n t , d e p t h

and

velocity

throughout the study area.

S

ee

flooding

where you

wouldn't expect

it?

None

f

the

e x i s t i n g river and

boundary

w a l l s ,

embankments and

ther

features are formal

flood

defences.

Although some may

provide

a

certain level

f

protection to properties, they could not

b e

relied upon

as

part

f

a formal

flood

protection

scheme.

We

have

therefore

removed such

features from the

c

m

p u t e r model. This allows u s

to

see

the areas which would experience the greatest benefits from formal

flood

protection works.

The

side effect

f

this is of

course that you

may see

flooding

n

the

flood

m a p s where

you

wouldn't expect

it.

SLIDE 6

UPPER

GARNOCK FLOOD

PROTECTION

SCHEME

6 WHICH OPTIONS

DID

WE

DEVELOP?

Kilbirnie

and Glengarnock This

ption would

involve containing the

river

within its channel using

flood

walls,

embankments

and

flood

gates

n

both banks

f

the Garnock Buried services,

existing river training walls

and nearby

properties

would pose

significant

challenges during construction.

T

achieve

a

high standard

f

protection,

flood

walls

f
ver

2

metres high would be required

in

the town centre.

A

lower

wall

would

ffer

reduced

protection but not

cost

significantly

less,

as

the majority

f

costs are incurred building wall foundations.

Upstream Storage Upstream

storage works by holding back the

flood

peak and

releasing water at

a

slower

rate,

reducing

river levels

downstream.

It

would be

possible to construct

a

flood

storage dam both

n

the River Garnock

("on-line")

and

n

the Dipple Burn,

diverting

water from the Garnock

("off-line"). Either

ption

would

minimise

the need for works

in downstream

areas,

keeping disruption during construction

relatively localised.

Upstream

storage

is

nly

able to intercept

flows

in

the Garnock, meaning

ther

tributaries

flow

at

their

full rate.

For the most extreme events,

flows

from these

tributaries

alone

is

enough

to

cause

flooding;

there

is therefore

a

limit

to the

standard

f

protection which

can be

provided

with upstream

storage.

An

ff-line

solution would require extensive

works

to divert water across to the Dipple Burn,

and

there are additional issues

such as impacts

n

farmland

and

historical mine

workings.

W

ith minor

works downstream, the

benefits

f

these

ptions

could be maximised to provide

a

1 in 100 year standard

f

protection.

The Powgree

Burn

is

a

contributor to

flooding

in

Glengarnock. We

looked at upstream storage,

flood

walls,

channel widening

and

bridge

replacements.

However, due

to the different

flow

paths

none

f

the

ptions

were found

to be effective,

and many

f

the solutions would

adversely

impact

n

flood

risk

elsewhere such

as

the

railway, the

B777

road

r

properties

upstream.

The

nly

feasible

ption

(apart from property-

level protection)

was

found to be

formalising the existing river training wall

downstream

f

the railway bridge, ensuring

its structural

integrity during

times

f

flood.

The

benefits

f

this

ption

will be

enhanced

with an

upstream

s

torage

ption on

the River Garnock.

Dairy

n Dairy,

nly

the

flood

risk at Mill Park

was

further

investigated.

The

nly

feasible

ption

was

found

to be direct defences (flood

walls).

To

minimise impacts

n

normal

river

flows,

the

walls

were set back as

far

as

possible.

Furthermore,

if these

defences were placed on

the river's edge, they

would get bypassed by

flooding

through the railway underpass.

Above

a 1

in 50

year

return period,

Mill Park

would

also be affected by

flooding

from

the south.

To

avoid the

need

for additional

defences, and

limit

the consequences

if the

wall was

ever

vertopped

the design

is limited

to

a

1 in

50

year standard

f

protection.

Works

would be needed upstream to

mitigate

impacts

n

the railway

and

the

DSM

factory,

among

thers.

7 HOW

DID

WE

CHOOSE A

PREFERRED

OPTION?

In

line with Scottish Government

guidance,

we

looked at the economic, social

and

environmental aspects

f

each

ption

to make sure that not

nly

the

ptions

would be economically worthwhile

(that is

the benefits are greater than costs) but also that

social

and

environmental benefits

were maximised (and

negative impacts minimised).

Economic

Appraisal

W

e

need

to ensure

any

proposals are economically

viable; this

means

that the

cost

f

building

the

scheme

should be less than the benefit

we

expect.

We

worked

with

a

contractor to develop detailed

scheme

costs.

The

benefits

were based

n

the

damages

likely

to be avoided with the

flood

scheme

in place, including:

Direct

property

damages

Emergency

services costs induding environment

agency

Damage

to

utilities

Temporary

accommodation

Clean-up

costs (dehumidifier

electricity

and

heating costs)

Damage

to vehicles

Social

equity

and

climate

change allowances

W

e

looked at the benefit cost

ratio for

each

f

the

ptions

and concluded

the following:

In IGlbirnie

and Glengarnock, the

n-line

dam

with minor

works downstream

is

economically

viable.

The

costs

f

the

direct

defence

ption

and

ff-line dam

were

simply too high for

it

to

be

a viable

ption
In Dalry

(Mill Parl~,

the proposed defences are economically

viable

It

follows that

a

"combined scheme"

for

4Glbirnie,

Glengarnock

and

Dalry

is also

economically viable

Property-level protection

could also be

a

feasible solution

if no

rmal

scheme

is

Description

f

the works

There

are

a number

f

locations

where

services

cross

the flood defence. These

will be

diverted

as necessary

during the construction works.

Works

may

also be required to the existing

drainage system

to

ensure surface water does not

build up

behind the defences.

By

cutting

ff

the

natural

flow

path

f

water,

more

water

is retained in the river channel.

This

results in increased

flood

levels

n

the

floodplain.

Mitigation measures

are proposed

to

address the impacts associated with the

increased

flood levels:

Network

Rail—the railway

embankments

will need

to withstand increased flood

pressures

The

DSM

factory—parts

f

the

site are

low-

lying

Scottish Water—the

raised manholes

located

in the

floodplain may

be

subject to

increased

flood risk

Scottish Power—the

substation next to

Beith Road

may be

impacted by increased

flood

levels

It

is worth noting that

the

flood wall

will only

i mpact

n

flood events

sufficiently extreme to

vertop

the road and

build up

against the flood

wall. The

frequency

f

flooding

f

the

fields

surrounding

Mill Park,

as

well as Beith Road, is therefore not affected

by the

scheme. ~

the

scheme

before

we

publish

it as

part

f

the notification process.

Please

This should

nly be

done f

llowing

Scheme

Notification as

described below.

Scheme

Notification

Y

ur

involvement

in

the consultation process

will help

to develop the final

scheme we

will put

forward. After the consultation period,

we

will seek

planning permission through the Flood Risk

Management

(Scotland) Act 2009. This

means we

will publish

the

f

inal scheme

and

notify key

stakeholders

and

affected parties.

There

will then be

a 28-day

period within which

bjections may

be made.

The

final scheme

documents

will be

made

available for public

viewing

in person

and

n

the council website (www.north-

ayrshire.gov.

uk/U pperGarnockFPS).

How do

I make

an

bjection?

Any

person may

bject

to the

scheme

after

the

start

f

the

28 day

If

there are

any

utstanding

issues which have not been resolved following the consultation process,

this

will be

the

pportunity
