Dawn Developments Ltd/467374673/Queen’s Quay Masterplan EIA/KD 04/01/2012 Major Mixed Use Development, Queen's Quay, Clydebank EIA Scoping Report Lawmuir Formation comprising of sandstone with mudstone and a few thin limestones and coal seams. 9.4.2 Groundwater Standpipe monitoring on the site records groundwater at depths between -0.91mAOD and 1.69mAOD, which is representative of groundwater at depths in excess of 3m below ground level. The groundwater below the site is believed to be tidal. 9.4.3 Site history A review of the available historical Ordnance Survey maps for the site was carried out that highlighted various potentially contaminating activities had been undertaken on the site. The plans indicate that the site has been utilised as a shipyard for passenger and military vessels since 1871. The shipyard experienced several phases of expansion and reconstruction from 1899 when the site was identified as Clydebank Engineering and Shipbuilding Works. Activities on site included saw mills, joiner shops, boiler works, coppersmiths, coal stores, foundry, railway sidings and gas works. Prior to final closure part of the site was used for Oil Rig fabrication. All of these previous activities could have contributed to potential sources of contamination. 9.4.4 Site clearance As part of the demolition works, parts of the site have been cleared of known underground structures and any obstructions encountered; however, there are areas awaiting further clearance works. A number of stockpiles from the demolition works are also known to be present on site and these comprise various materials (demolition materials, organic materials, and hydrocarbon contaminated materials). 9.5 Potential receptors Given the mixed nature of the proposed development (as described in Chapter 2), the following potential sensitive receptors have been identified: • construction and maintenance staff, • residents within neighbouring areas, • future site users (residents, employees, visitors to the site), • buildings, • water supply pipes, and • the water environment (River Clyde and groundwater beneath the site). The receptors will be described in more detail within the EIA and will be characterised in terms of their sensitivity. Page 41 Final for Issue
9.6 Key issues Dawn Developments Ltd/467374673/Queen’s Quay Masterplan EIA/KD 04/01/2012 Major Mixed Use Development, Queen's Quay, Clydebank EIA Scoping Report The key issues to be considered with respect to the geology and soils chapter of the EIA include: • the extended industrial history of the site; • existing underground structures and services; • current condition and nature of waste stockpiles present on site; • the potential for any contamination present within the proposed development site to impact upon the Firth of Clyde; • the potential for residual contamination known to be present on site to impact upon future site users and adjacent land; and • the potential for ground gas generation across the site with potential for impacts on buildings and people on site. 9.7 Proposed studies for EIA A desk-based assessment will be carried out to determine the baseline geology and spoil conditions for the site. No additional intrusive ground investigations will be carried out at the site to inform the EIA. A number of intrusive ground investigations have been undertaken across the site and it is proposed that the desk study will include a review of the site investigation reports produced for these studies, including: • URS Thorburn Colquhoun (now URS) – Clyde Riverside UiE Site, Stage 1 Investigation, May 2001 • URS Thorburn Colquhoun (now URS) – Clyde Riverside UiE Site, Stage 2 Investigation, September 2001 • URS Thorburn Colquhoun (now URS) – Clyde Riverside UiE Site, Stage 3 Investigation, September 2001 • URS - Queens Quay, Clydebank, Report on Ground Contamination November 2003 (revised January 2004) • URS - EIA Scoping Report, Final, August 2005, Report ref. xxxxyyyy/GLRP0001 • URS - Queens Quay Residential Phase 1 – Cart Street Hydrocarbon Hotspot Delineation and Removal Letter Report, 29 February 2008, URS Report Ref. 49335215/GLRP0002 Page 42 Final for Issue
