APPENDIX 3 SCHEDULE 3 (See Regulation 55) GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENTS DOCUMENTS AND PARTICULARS TO BE INCLUDED IN GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT Excavation, tip or lagoon. 1. In this Schedule “excavation, tip or lagoon” includes, where appropriate, a proposed excavation, tip or lagoon. Site survey. 2. An accurate plan on a scale not less detailed than 1:2,500 showing - (a) the boundaries of the quarry upon which the excavation, tip or lagoon is or is to be situated, (b) the site of the excavation, tip or lagoon, (c) any contiguous land or structure that might be affected by the excavation, tip or lagoon, (d) buried quarry workings, known cave systems, active or former landslips, springs, artesian wells, watercourses, mine workings (whether in use or not) and other natural or man-made features, including tunnel pipes or culverts that might - (i) affect the safety of the excavation, tip or lagoon, or (ii) be relevant for the purpose of determining whether quarrying operations can be carried out safely. This plan shall be contoured, orientated and correlated to the Ordnance Datum Survey National Grid at a vertical interval not greater than 5 metres and marked with squares corresponding to the 100 metre squares shown on Ordnance Survey sheets on the scale of 1:2,500. Site investigation. 3. A record of all relevant site investigation information including surveys, tests, boreholes and groundwater measurements made for the purpose of the geotechnical assessment together with the results of any testing including the strength of materials within and beneath the tip or within the excavated slope.The record shall include any known historical information relevant to the site investigation. Cross-sections based on site investigation. 4. Sufficient accurate cross-sections on a scale not less detailed than 1:1,250 of the site of the excavation, tip or lagoon showing the existing ground surface and all relevant superficial materials and bedrock underlying the site and - (a) any variation in the thickness, level or character of the superficial deposits and bedrock materials based on the site investigation; and (b) the position of any surface, whether natural or man-made, that may affect the safety of the excavation, tip or lagoon. Plans based on site investigation. 5. Plans showing the position of all boreholes, wells and trial pits used in the site investigation and the location and levels of all materials and surfaces that may affect the safety of the excavation, tip or lagoon. Assumptions made before analysis. 6. A record of any assumptions relevant to the assessment of ground conditions relating to the safety of the excavation or tip made by the geotechnical specialist, including a record of any relevant information that was not available when undertaking the assessment. Findings of analysis. 7. A record of the calculations carried out in order to determine the safety of the excavation or tip, including any variables or parameters used in those calculations and the reasons for using them and the findings of those calculations expressed as the factor of safety or the probability of failure or other recognised basis of assessing stability.
