ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT

Risk matrix and recommendations for restarting lead mining in the Peak District National Park

You should type the answers to your assessment in this document, using the headings on page 4, and then hand it in by emailing it to Katie (k.mcfall@ucl.ac.uk) by 18:00 on Friday 23rd May either as a word document or a PDF. You must include “Alternative Assessment” in the subject line and you should put your student number in the file name.

Make a risk matrix outlining Opportunities, Risks, and Mitigations for each of the four subjects for restarting lead mining in the Peak District:
Technical – Geology, mineral occurrences, infrastructure, logistics, mining methods etc.
Environmental – Land use, pollution, noise, water, biodiversity etc.
Social – local community, local economy, tourism, who are the different stakeholders
Governance – can you mine in a National Park What is the legislation and who are the authorities, local and national, who would need to be involved
Assessment format:
You should use the headings and subheadings on page 4 to structure your risk matrix – type your content and insert your figures below the headings in this document.
The risk matrix should be in concise form with bullet pointed lists for each category, not long paragraphs of prose.
The risk matrix should not be more than 800 words long, excluding reference list.
You must not use AI for this work.
You should aim to have at least 3 opportunities, risks and mitigations for each category. These should be specific, not generic, and backed up with facts and figures.
You should choose appropriate figures to illustrate your points, and at least one figure needs to be made or substantially adapted/annotated by you (for example a map of infrastructure and mineral occurences).
You must reference all facts and the source of all figures. References should be in Vancouver/Nature style (i.e. superscript numbers, see UCL referencing guide for details) with a references list at the end. For example: Environmental threat: Lead pollution of farmland from spoil heaps, as highlighted in “The Lead Legacy” English Heritage report1.

Marking Criteria: Below is an outline of the marking criteria and what is expected for first class work (in italics). The numbers in brackets are the number of marks for each section, the total mark will be out of 100.
Content (80/100 total): 20 marks for each section (technical, environmental, social and governance) – contains three or more opportunities, risks and mitigations (ORMs) for each section. ORMs show evidence of creative thinking and a holistic, balanced view on the issues. ORMs are concise, well evidenced, and referenced, with the use of student-generated maps and figures to illustrate them. Mitigations are reasonable and linked to specific threats or opportunities.
Figures and tables (10/100): Figures are well chosen, have captions and references, at least one figure is made or adapted by the student. Figures are a good size and resolution.
Referencing (10/100): All facts and figures are referenced.

Suggested Resources: These are suggested as a starting point, but you are expected to do your own research both in academic literature and more widely online.

The British Geological Survey (BGS – https://www.bgs.ac.uk/) have a number of maps, reports and datasets which could be useful. This includes an interactive geological map of the UK which could be useful for your geological background and for clipping images from (provided you reference): https://geologyviewer.bgs.ac.uk/

The Peak District National Park Authority (https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/home) also commission reports on the park.

There are a number of historical mining societies in and around the Peak District who publish research and provide online resources. The Peak District Mines Historical Society (https://pdmhs.co.uk/) is one of the main ones.
