Details of the application
H2O Power Generation Ltd has applied to the Environment Agency for a licence.
The Environment Agency is giving notice of this application in accordance with Section 37 of the Water Resources Act 1991 and Regulation 6 of the Water Resources (Abstraction and Impounding) Regulations 2006.
The application is for a licence to obstruct or impede the flow of the River Trent at Beeston Weir, between National Grid References (NGRs) SK 53576 35299 and SK 53543 35229 (main weir) and between NGRs SK 53543 35229 and SK 53406 35259 (side weir).
