Receptor Type
How can I decide
which receptors I
have around my site?
How do I use/interpret
the information on the
website?
What features are
most relevant and
where can I find detail
of them – for example
designation land,
categorisation for
water
Which agency or body
should I contact if I
need further
information on helping
me determine MATTE
potential?
What impact have
‘similar’ incidents
had, and where can I
find more information
about these?
How do I use the
information gathered
above to help me
work out
Consequence (Extent,
Severity and
Duration)?

Widespread Habitat

England
See table 1.2 of H1
Annex A for data
sources
e.g. OS mapping
Angling trust
http://www.anglingtrust.net/
Use data sources to
establish main types of
land use, and in particular
angling trust to find the
local angling society, club
or fishery.
Generally land use can
be determined by OS
mapping, and if not by
local field surveying
(walking / driving round
to see what land-use is
evident.)
For food safety – FSA
For risk to people, HSE
& HPA
For fishing – local
angling society
