Paragraph 16
The undertaker must submit a marine pollution contingency plan in writing to the MMO for written approval in accordance with the procedure in Part 4, following consultation with the relevant statutory nature conservation body, the Environment Agency and the harbour authority, at least 13 weeks prior to the commencement of any licensed activity.
The marine pollution contingency plan must—
set out the undertaker’s assessment of the likely risks which could arise as a result of a spill or collision during construction and maintenance of the authorised development and the methods and procedures the undertaker intends to put in place to address those risks; and
set out the undertaker’s assessment of the potential for litter derived from either vessels or from land based sources within the authorised development to enter the marine area and identify the management measures to be put in place.
The undertaker must not commence the licensed activities until the MMO has approved in writing the submitted marine pollution contingency plan.
Unless otherwise agreed by the MMO in writing, the marine pollution contingency plan must be implemented as approved by the MMO.
