At the time of writing the applicant has not mentioned how they intend to manage solifluction, and our fear is that there will be an increased risk of water, and what is effectively effluent, flowing downhill in large quantity, accumulating in hollows and 'barriers' of one sort or another.

We are also concerned about contaminated water finding its way into the wider water system. Overground, this may be possible if surface water finds its way as north far as Denton Burn, and thence to Vinny Water and eventually Lunan Water and Lunan Bay. Similarly, it's possible that contaminated water may find its way into the water table, presenting a risk to a few nearby households which still have an active well, in addition to polluting the water table over a wider area.

Poultry manure has a high nitrogen content, (5) which is readily converted to nitrates once in contact with soil and water, and almost all nitrates are soluble in water. In addition to nitrogen, poultry manure is also rich in phosphorous and potassium, and is the compounds of these elements that can leach into the ground and the water table during and after periods of rain.

Nitrates are the most common pollutant of groundwater in rural areas (6) and anyone consuming water directly from the ground, for example from well water, may be at risk, (7) although the main risk in this situation is to the environment in the form of contaminated water.

When present is sufficient quantity, nitrates and phosphates cause algal 'blooms', (8) rapid growth of lower plant life, typically algae. The 'blooms' deplete the water of oxygen and have a detriment effect on organisms such as fish and arthropods which depend on dissolved oxygen to survive.
