So what are you supposed to do with it?
If you are doing roadside ones Chuck it in the middle of the road then

It's winter here so land is waterlogged and an extra inch running into a valley can cause a problem. So do you leave a 20m grass margin and get penalised?
same with any water course the wider the margin the better chance of saving soil .I suppose the answer is, don't have a barely established crop going into winter if it's going to cause a problem?
Permanent pasture or a thick growing cover crop after cereals that would preserve the topsoil until spring. Maybe direct drilling the crop would have helped, it looks like there had been a lot of surface cultivation.

need a long dipper and swing it right around, then get some grass seed on it toot sweet else it will wash back in with the next flood.
best done in low water through the summer
depends on your type but here if youve got clay in the bucket (thats obviously hard to get out) then youve gone a bit to deep,bit too greedy it should be looser ie silt or deposited stuff rather than the river bed sort of thing which is way easier to tipout.Problem if you do it at low water is getting it out the bucket, u need a bit of water flow to get it out and make it a bit loose otherwise the first bucket and it’s blocked for the rest of the day

Sure that was an Old EU rule, so we could change that now if our strong gov knew about it.Place it onto the field anywhere within a digger’s reach, though as mentioned above not directly on the bank.
Putting it into a trailer or such to move it away it magically becomes “waste” It’s a bit like the magic of Red Tractor but in reverse!
Arise 'Sir Johnny Price 'I can see the EA dragging their heels taking JP to court, public opinion is appearing to be over 50% in support of the work done, even the dimmest of them must be able to see the merits of the job and many holding the purse strings will see the cost difference. The insurance industry will be in favour of reduced risks, the list is pretty long. The only thing the EA can bring a case with is their flawed principles.
I thought you were supposed to put the spoil next to the ditch to allow any creepy crawlies to get back to the ditchCorrect. That breaches the 2 metre cross compliance rule. Add more if you have a stewardship margin
I can’t imagine this field scale flooding does the animals and bugs that live in the fields and hedgerows much good.
If ELMS is planning to encourage more flood storage on farmland, but also protect the bugs, beetles, birds etc and their habitats then it’s going to end up a bit of a contradiction.
