I’ve been out on site this afternoon with @CoalAuthority team and @BBCWales looking at the inspections, maintenance and monitoring we do to keep the 26 tips we own and manage in Wales safe and minimise the risk of significant land slips

Today our team is continuing to monitor the disused colliery tip sites we own and manage. These before and after photographs, taken in South Wales, show the importance of a rapid response to extreme weather events, such as #StormDennis, and our ongoing maintenance regime.

📣 If you take more than 20m3 (4,400 Gallons) a day from Surface Water, like a river, or Groundwater, like a borehole, you may need to apply for a licence. More info here: socsi.in/lg69w
Research with impact. Great to see how hydroseeding by @TerrAffix @SalixBio @NatResWales has worked at part of Frongoch abandoned mine. One of the better treatments was based upon @swanseageog @swanscience MSc research by @H_DeQuincey. Rhyan is pictured doing all the hard work!
