Paragraph 3 Construction and Environmental Management DocumentI1

Scotland

The CEMD referred to in article 35 shall include—

(a)

an updated schedule of mitigation, including all mitigation proposed in support of the Order and associated consents, other relevant agreed mitigation (e.g. as required by agencies) and mitigation set out in the relevant planning conditions;

(b)

processes to control and action changes from the agreed schedule of mitigation;

(c)

the following specific Construction and Environmental Management Plans, including zoning plans where appropriate—

(i)

habitat management plan that will—

(aa)

protect water bodies from marine non-native species;

(bb)

minimise the risk of spreading freshwater invasive species;

(ii)

spit habitat protection and enhancement plan that will be designed to avoid disturbance to key breeding, roosting and feeding sites on the spit and the bay to the west of the site and provide opportunity to create and enhance new breeding habitat and roost sites;

(iii)

marine mammal protection plan, including a seal injury avoidance scheme, a comprehensive scheme for understanding the potential fragmentation impact on the bottlenose dolphin resulting from underwater noise associated with construction activities and proposals for monitoring of marine mammals during construction (the seal injury avoidance scheme should include no use of ducted propellers for maintenance and capital dredging operations during the harbour seal breeding season (June – August inclusive));

(iv)

pollution prevention plan;

(v)

dust management plan;

(vi)

noise and vibration mitigation plan (including hours of operation);

(vii)

site waste management plan; and

(viii)

sediment transport monitoring plan, including monitoring the dispersal of sediments disposed of at the spoil ground (the findings of the sediment transport monitoring plan should inform on-going dredging operations);

(d)

details of the appointment of an appropriately qualified Environmental Clerk of Works with roles and responsibilities;

(e)

methods of monitoring, auditing, reporting and communication of environmental management on site and with the client, Scottish Ministers and other relevant parties; and
