# The Immingham Open Cycle Gas Turbine Order 2020, Paragraph 12: Contaminated land and groundwater

Extent: E+W

(1) No part of the authorised development may commence, save for geotechnical surveys and other investigations for the purpose of assessing ground conditions, until a scheme to deal with the contamination of land, including groundwater, which is likely to cause significant harm to persons or pollution of controlled waters or the environment, has, for that part, been submitted to and, after consultation with the Environment Agency, approved by the relevant planning authority.
(2) The scheme submitted and approved must be in accordance with the principles set out in chapter 11 (ground conditions and hydrogeology) of the Environmental Statement and with the construction environmental management plan submitted pursuant to requirement 14.
(3) The scheme must include a risk assessment, supported by site investigation data, to identify the extent of any contamination and the remedial measures to be taken to render the land fit for its intended purpose, together with a materials management plan, which sets out long-term measures with respect to any contaminants remaining on the site.
(4) The authorised development, including any remediation, must be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme unless otherwise agreed with the relevant planning authority.
(5) Should any remediation be required a verification report demonstrating the completion of works set out in the approved scheme and the effectiveness of the remediation must be submitted to, and approved, by the relevant planning authority prior to the date of final commissioning. The report must include results of sampling and monitoring carried out in accordance with the approved scheme to demonstrate that the site remediation criteria have been met.
