# The North Blyth Biomass Power Station Order 2013, Paragraph 7: Surface water drainage – contamination


(1) Any surface water contaminated with hydrocarbons or silt must be treated to remove contamination in a manner previously approved in writing by the relevant planning authority in consultation with the Environment Agency prior to any discharge to any public sewer or water course.
(2) Appropriate interceptors (including oil interceptors) must be fitted to all appropriate drainage systems in accordance with a scheme to be submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority prior to commencement of the authorised development.
(3) The approved details must thereafter be maintained for the lifetime of the authorised development to the reasonable satisfaction of the relevant planning authority.
(4) A scheme for the prevention of contamination of controlled waters by cementitious materials must be prepared in accordance with paragraphs 15.6.23 to 15.6.26 of the environmental statement and submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority prior to commencement of the authorised development. The authorised development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme. All concrete and cement mixing and washing areas must be bunded and sited at least 10 metres from any watercourse or surface water drain to minimise the risk of runoff entering a watercourse.
(5) Prior to any concrete being sprayed or poured in an area that may give rise to concrete entering the marine environment, the undertaker must ensure that suitable protective sheeting is first provided in that area to prevent rebound or windblown concrete from entering the marine environment. Thereafter any rebounded or windblown material must be cleared away before the sheeting is removed.
