Please can you provide a copy of information held/supplied by CEH for the 2019 National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory report regarding Northern Ireland?
In particular I am only interested in Ammonia emissions and I am seeking a copy for each species as well as AD plants: the datasets, assumptions and computations which clearly demonstrate how these estimates were determined.

Further to this piece of work carried out by the BGS -
https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121203195642/http:/www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/712B6133-E353-4030-9DD0-F677DC3B6F38/0/bgs_beauforts.pdf - I am getting in touch to submit an FOI to establish what has happened since.Specifically, I would like to know, for each year between 2005 and the date of this request, the number of underwater explosions recorded by the BGS in Beaufort's Dyke.
In addition, the areas listed below [list provided in attached document] are charted as disused dumping grounds for explosive material. Is it possible to get the number of explosions recorded by the BGS in these locations too? Ideally for the same time frame.
I'm happy to be guided by you in terms of what is a realistic time frame for this part of my request (and indeed Beaufort's Dyke) as obviously keen to keep the request within the scope of the FOI legislation and don't want to overstretch your team. So please do get back to me if I need to reword my request.

Could you please inform me of the groundwater risks to [xx], Rose End Avenue. It has come up as high risk of groundwater flooding on a search through my conveyancing solicitor. Yet when I have researched myself, as I have read and interpreted your information to mean, that your 1sq km maps do not indicate groundwater flood risks but rather the risk of groundwater appearing at the surface and that to aid prediction, historical data must be also used. Or is it that 'high' alternatively refers to the risk of pollutants rising to the surface? So could you please answer the following:
1. Is this property indeed in a groundwater high risk zone.
2. What does the terminology ' high risk' actually mean in general terms.
3. How can this high risk potentially impact on the property and what is the probability of this
happening?4. If it is in a high risk zone, does that mean that there is a high risk of actual flooding?
5. Have you any historical data of groundwater flooding here and if so, could you give me details.

2. Any information/data you can provide on both current regional groundwater levels and long-term groundwater level trends within the Brotherton Formation (Upper Magnesian Limestone) and the Cadeby Formation (Lower Magnesian Limestone).
3. Recommendations of any publicly available papers which examine the potential impact of climate change on groundwater levels in/around the Knottingley/West Yorkshire area or provide any narrative of the expected impacts on regional
groundwater levels going forward.4. A summary of the main hydrogeological parameters for the main on-site lithologies (i.e. permeability, porosity storage coefficient etc.).
