As indicated in my answer of 19 November to the hon. Member on 19 November 2012, Official Report, 19 November 2012, column 327W, the Environment Agency has established a working group and believes that the investigations and actions currently being undertaken will give the best possible chance of meeting bathing water directive requirements at Saltburn well into the future. Where investigations reveal the need for further improvements, there are likely to be a range of ways to finance these, depending on the source of pollution. If appropriate, this may include direct funding from DEFRA.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment the Environment Agency has made of the reasons why Saltburn failed to reach the mandatory minimum standard for quality of bathing water.

Saltburn has met European bathing water requirements for eight of the last 10 years. The Environment Agency has assessed that Saltburn failed to meet the requirements in 2012 due to the exceptionally wet weather, with this summer being the wettest recorded for over 100 years. The high rainfall has increased run-off from land spread with farm waste and has increased storm sewage overflows. This has raised bacteria levels in the bathing water, thus causing the failure to reach the mandatory minimum standards. The situation is not unique to Saltburn, as the exceptional weather has affected many other bathing waters around the UK this year.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what recent discussions (a) he, (b) his Ministerial colleagues, (c) his Department and (d) the Environment Agency have had with (i) Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and (ii) Northumbrian Water on the quality of bathing water at Saltburn.

Neither the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, nor myself as the Minister responsible for this policy area, or officials at DEFRA have had any discussions recently regarding bathing water quality at Saltburn.
In 2011, the Environment Agency established a working group with Northumbrian Water Ltd and Redcar and Cleveland borough council to address bathing water quality at Saltburn. The group meets regularly to share knowledge of the catchment, so helping to identify and reduce pollution from the sewerage system, agricultural run off and other sources. Northumbrian Water Ltd is
carrying out a study into the impact of its sewerage systems, and a report is expected early in 2013 to inform any solutions required. The Environment Agency has an ongoing agricultural campaign in the catchment to promote best farming practices and to reduce pollution from agricultural run-off.
Northumbrian Water carried out major improvements to the sewerage system in the 1990s, as this was the main source of pollution at that time. The sources of the current pollution are generally smaller and often discharge intermittently which makes them difficult to trace. In normal weather conditions these sources are unlikely to cause bathing water problems. The Environment Agency believes the investigations and actions currently being undertaken will give the best possible chance of meeting bathing water directive requirements at Saltburn well into the future.
