Paragraph 36 Capital dredging, disposal conditions and debrisI1

The undertaker must ensure that certified returns of quantities of dredged material deposited under this licence are submitted to the MMO by 15th February (for the months August to January inclusive) and 15th August (for the months February to July inclusive) each year.

The returns must specify the full licence number and amounts deposited (in tonnes) each calendar month at each authorised deposit area.

Where no deposit is made in a given period a NIL return is required.

The disposal method used must be submitted with the returns.

Any contaminated sediment (largely silt) lying deeper than 1 metre below the surface of the seabed (excluding the underlying geological material) must not be disposed of at sea.

The removal of any contaminated silt to a site licensed for the treatment and disposal of such silt must only be by means of a barge unless otherwise agreed by the MMO in consultation with the local planning authority.
