# The Associated British Ports (Immingham Green Energy Terminal) Order 2025, Paragraph 30: Outfall channels

Extent: E+W+S

(1) The undertaker must, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Agency, for a period of 10 years beginning with the date on which any part of the authorised project within the UK marine area is begun (within the meaning given in section 155 (when development begins) of the 2008 Act monitor the paths of each of the Habrough Marsh Drain outfall channel and the Stallingborough North Beck outfall channel and report to the Agency annually whether any substantial changes to the flow or path of either such outfall channel have occurred as a result of the authorised project, such monitoring to be based on appropriate methods.
(2) In the event that, during the period of 10 years to which subparagraph (1) refers, as a direct result of the construction or operation of the authorised project either of the Habrough Marsh Drain outfall channel or the Stallingborough North Beck outfall channel have been obstructed or impaired and either—
(a) the obstruction or impairment has the potential to impede or affect the flow of water from the outfall channel into the River Humber; or
(b) the efficiency of any ordinary watercourse for flood defence or land drainage purposes is impaired, or that watercourse is otherwise damaged, so as to require remedial action,
the undertaker must as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 28 days, unless otherwise agreed with the Agency in writing) set out in writing for approval by the Agency the steps it proposes for making good such obstruction or impairment to the outfall channel and the timescales for it doing so.
(3) The undertaker must carry out the steps approved by the Agency within the timescales it has approved (in each case) pursuant to sub-paragraph (2) to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency and, if the undertaker fails to do so, the Agency may carry them out and recover from the undertaker the expense reasonably incurred by it in so doing.
