Milk prices and composition of milk - annual statistics

Most milk produced in the UK is bought by dairies (registered ‘milk purchasers’) for processing. Defra runs a monthly survey in England and Wales to collect information on the volume, value and protein content of milk purchased from farms. Similar surveys are run in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Additional information is collected by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) on the protein and butterfat content of the milk. The UK average farm-gate milk price, protein content and butterfat content is then calculated.

Water Framework Directive Classification Item Hierarchy

This spreadsheet defines the relationships between Water Framework Directive (WFD) classification items. Classifications are arranged according to the classification hierarchy. Data are sourced from the Environment Agency Catchment Planning System (CPS).
A classification item is any entity that receives an environmental classification score. 
At the core of classification is Element, this is generally an individual substance, biological entity or test.
Elements are grouped together to form Components, for example biological elements are grouped into the component 'Biological quality elements' component.
Some elements are split into Sub Elements for example Fish Element is split into individual fish species Sub Elements.
At the top level is the overall waterbody. This is the headline classification for a waterbody.
More information about how classification works is available on page 6:

Water bodies impacted by pollution from abandoned metal mines

List of water bodies (rivers) with significant failures of environmental quality standards for metals (cadmium, lead, nickel, copper, zinc and/or iron) caused by abandoned metal mines in England. These water bodies are divided into “impacted” and “probably impacted” depending on the significance of pollution; impacted water bodies are polluted all of the time, probably impacted means the pollution is not always significant at the water body scale. Each water body has been allocated a score based on the magnitude of the metal EQS failure, and impacts on ecology and groundwater. The system for scoring impacts is adapted from the methodology described in "Prioritisation of abandoned non-coal mine impacts on the environment: A methodology for identification and prioritisation of abandoned non-coal mines in England and Wales" published by the Environment Agency in 2012 (available from gov.uk).

Water quality monitoring data GC-MS and LC-MS semi-quantitative screen

The Environment Agency uses semi-quantitative gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS and LC-MS) targeted screening methods to analyse water samples for a wide range of substances at once. This dataset represents positive GC-MS and LC-MS results for samples collected and analysed by the Environment Agency since 2007.

More specifically, the data shows what substance has been detected in a sample, the specific method used, the analytical method limit of detection, the sampling location and time, sample type, purpose and material. Where available, a semi quantitative concentration measurement (µg/l) is reported.
As the target database is continually being updated the date of addition is also listed against each substance.

Users should ensure they have read the 'Read Me' file included in the downloaded package in full before viewing or making use of the data, as it contains important information. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2015. All rights reserved.

Understanding and addressing the biodiversity impact of controlling Phytophthora on heathland

Report (pdf) contains data in tables that can be used under Open Government Licence.

1.1.	Phytophthora ramorum and Phytophthora kernoviae are two fungus-like pathogens which affect a range of trees, shrubs and other plants. Reviews undertaken by the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA) in 2011 identified significant potential impacts of Phytophthora, and of measures to control Phytophthora, on heathland biodiversity .
1.2.	Since the first UK findings in 2002 there has been a coordinated approach to disease control aimed at containment and eradication of these pathogens whilst evidence was gathered to make a decision on future policy. During that time the diseases have continued to spread, albeit slowly and mainly in the South West. Following a review of the historic and current situation, available scientific and economic evidence, and public consultation on options for management of the pathogens in the future, Ministers concluded that more needs to be done to contain and eradicate P. ramorum and P. kernoviae.
1.3.	In April 2009 Defra launched a five year programme, managed by Fera, to contain the risk of P. ramorum and P. kernoviae from spreading further. The three main work streams of the programme are research and development, education and awareness raising, and disease control through clearance of host plants in high risk areas. This involves removal of infected sporulating hosts in woodlands and the wider environment, and proactive clearance of uninfected areas to protect high risk sites; combined with enhanced containment and eradication measures in infected gardens and nursery sites, as well as the identification and control of any new outbreaks.
1.4.	Currently there are 10 heathland sites where Vaccinium is infected with Phytophthora – 9 Phytophthora kernoviae (Pk) and 1 Phytophthora ramorum (Pr). There are other Pr/Pk outbreaks on non-heathland sites, e.g. woodland sites and parks. There have also been increasing numbers of findings of P. pseudosyringae on Vaccinium.
1.5.	Fera are undertaking research on efficacy of different control treatments – they will be treating these 10 currently infected sites in the Autumn of 2011. FERA are returning to treated sites to check if the disease is still present, and have been doing some recording of the cover of Vaccinium in quadrats, but no other recording of effects on biodiversity. 
1.6.	This project will build on previous and ongoing work by Fera to determine effective control strategies for Phytophthora on heathland and other semi-natural habitats containing Vaccinium. It will focus, in particular on the potential impacts of control measures on heathland biodiversity, but will integrate further consideration of the effectiveness of treatments and develop guidance for conservation managers on identification, management and mitigation for Phytophthora on heathland and other semi-natural habitats.

Research to produce look-up tables of marginal ecosystem values for initial appraisal within cost-benefit analysis

Searchable spreadsheet of environmental valuation (monetary) estimates drawn from the environmental economics literature.

In order to increase the practical use of environmental valuation in Government appraisals, this project will produce a suite of unit / marginal values for non-market environmental impacts with accompanying guidance, drawing on the best of recent literature. These “entry-level” values will make it much easier for non-specialist Government economists to make an initial assessment of potential environmental costs and benefits in social cost-benefit analysis, following HM Treasury Green Book principles. Subject to subsequent review and approval, these “look-up” tables of unit values will be incorporated by Defra in Supplementary Green Book Guidance on valuing environmental impacts.

Rural Areas within Local Enterprise Partnerships (Rural Development Programme) (England)

Rural areas within Local Enterprise Partnership boundaries (an interpretation by Defra given available information) and Built-Up Area geographies from the Office for National Statistics. 
This geography is best used in combination with the Local Enterprise Partnership boundaries geography. Boundaries will exclude built-up areas with populations over 10,000 (these will be identified as "No Features found"). Similarly some unpopulated built-up sites are excluded. Some settlements (with populations between 10,000 and 30,000) have been designated as hub towns potentially serving their wider rural area, and as such will be included in the boundaries. The rural areas shown are those which may be eligible for Rural Development Programme funding. This does not guarantee eligibility and any potential application should be discussed with the relevant Local Enterprise Partnership in the first instance. Some unpopulated built-up sites are shown separately and eligibility will need to be discussed with the Local Enterprise Partnership within which the site is situated. •	The boundaries have been updated to reflect a merger of Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership and South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) (29/06/2018). Further boundary updates reflect the overlapping border area between Greater Cambridge and Greater Peterborough LEP and New Anglia LEP being assigned solely to New Anglia LEP. Also, the New Forest local authority now forms part of Solent LEP having previously been part of Enterprise M3 LEP (14/10/2019). This is a placeholder with the actual data being published shortly and publicly available in November 2019.

Verifying the declared country of origin of timber using Stable Isotope and Trace Element (SITE) fingerprinting, to prevent illegal trade

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence.

This project aims to develop techniques and a reference data library that will enable verification of the declared origin of imported timbers that are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild flora and fauna (CITES) The project will combine existing genetic and new isotopic information (e.g. carbon, sulphur and oxygen) into an enhanced tool to determine the provenance of timber. It will use some specially sourced reference samples and build on research done by Kew to determine ‘ fingerprints’ of tree species and the country of growth using DNA finger printing and population modelling, as well a statistical analysis and it will extend this capability by including the isotopic analysis- which relate to specific conditions where the tree was growing. Outputs include the final report on the success of the techniques as well as the data base and referenced samples that may be used to influence the international community for enhanced controls on CITES timber exports and imports.

List of Internal Drainage Boards

Please note: This catalog/data-sets has now been superseded by the the record titled:  Association of Drainage Authorities: Administrative Boundaries - Internal Drainage Districts in England.  This can be found here: https://data.gov.uk/catalog/data-sets/59af775e-efc7-458b-bdc3-593651d08aa8/association-of-drainage-authorities-administrative-boundaries-internal-drainage-districts-in-england

Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs) are independent locally funded and operated statutory public bodies. There are currently around 100 IDBs in England and the Boards consist of elected members who represent agricultural rate payers and local authority appointed members representing special levy payers in the local community.

IDBs are responsible for water level management in areas of special drainage need. They are responsible for reducing flood risk from ordinary watercourses for both rural and urban communities (including protection of businesses and infrastructure) and they also have duties in protecting and enhancing valuable wildlife habitats and conservation.  

They work in close partnership with the Environment Agency, Natural England, local authorities and others in carrying out their duties.
