## Notice

The main aim of the Newton Stewart Flood Protection Scheme is to develop a sustainable flood protection scheme for Newton Stewart that will be able to attract grant aid from Scottish Government. The Scheme will be based on the work undertaken to date and shall be developed to a stage suitable for submission to Scottish Government by the Employer. This requires a review of work undertaken to date and developing further those options which warrant further investigation.The area covered under this project includes both banks of the River Cree through Newton Stewart and Minnigaff and lower length of Penkiln Burn.A linked 1D/2D mathematical model of both watercourses within the study area exists based on Flood Modeller Pro (FMP) software. The model has been calibrated against both the 2012 and 2015 flood data.In order to maintain continuity, it is intended that the consultant who carried out the previous work and developed the mathematical model of the River Cree and Penkiln Burn will be retained by the Employer to provide services in undertaking any additional modelling work required for the project. It should be noted that identifying any additional modelling work required for the current project is the responsibility of the Consultant. The Consultant can also review the existing mathematical model if they wish and request clarification from the previous consultant about any aspects of the model including how model represents specific features and its limitations. The Consultant can request modifications to the existing model to represent any particular mitigation option they wish to consider, subject to prior approval by the Employer. This method of working is proposed in order to retain within the team considerable experience on flooding in Newton Stewart and Minnigaff gained by the previous consultant and speed up the process of undertaking any additional modelling work required.
