The document discusses SEPA's classification of obstacles to fish migration under the Water Framework Directive. It provides details on SEPA's progress in assessing barriers on river networks in Scotland since 2008. It also outlines future developments, such as including additional culvert data and wetted area in the Water Network Layer. The presentation concludes by inviting questions from the audience.

River Dee 20555 dam Hydro- 2027 Obj- not started River Dee 7 dam Hydro – GEP investigation River Almond 20217 weir Part of the Almond project, should be fixed at the end of this financial year. 2021 obj River Leven 3322 dam Part of the Leven Project- 2021 obj but at risk of not meeting obj as engagement and planning taking longer than expected River Esk 159 weir Part of the river Esk project -2021 obj but at risk of not meeting obj as engagement and planning taking longer than expected Lugton Water 130 weir WEF project- 2021 obj, fish pass installed & another pass on ID 1578. River Esk 3337 weir Part of the river Esk project -2021 obj but at risk of not meeting obj as engagement and planning taking longer than expected River Esk 3278 weir Part of the river Esk project -2021 obj but at risk of not meeting obj as engagement and planning taking longer than expected River Ness 426 dam Hydro- GEP investigation Biel Water 164 weir Aquaculture 2021 objective- doing licence review at the moment Water of Leith 20297 weir Part of Water of Leith project- 2027 obj- at scoping stage Motray Water 3428 weir 2021 obj- historic in the plan but then found it is an active barrier. The owner now would like to discuss surrender its licence. So not a clear delivery mechanism. River Clyde 20526 culvert Part of the North Calder project- type unknown ( we don’t know if it is passable or not) so not impacting on classification so not a pressure. Investigation done as part of the North Calder project.
