Forthbank Wind Energy Development - Partnerships for Renewables

Forthbank Wind Energy Development
• Environmental Management Plan (EMP) – see section 4.14.
• Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) – see Chapter 13 for details and Appendix
13.2 (Draft SWMP).
4.14 The Environmental Management Plan
4.14.1 PfR has identified the environmental management scheme described above as being an
integral part of the proposals. It is expected that this scheme will be captured within the
consent description and any associated conditions should the application be approved. The
following are expected to apply to ensure that the scheme is implemented throughout
construction and operation.
Construction
4.14.2 The contract between PfR and the company contracted to construct the wind energy
development will specify the measures to be taken to reduce or mitigate the environmental
impact of the construction process. These measures will consist of three main types:
• conditions to be adhered to under the planning permission;
• any requirements of SEPA; and
• any other relevant mitigation measures identified in this ES.
4.14.3 A copy of any conditions associated with the planning permission will be incorporated into the
contract with the company constructing the wind energy development, and the company will be
required to adhere to these. Selection of the construction contractor will be based partly upon
the contractor’s record in dealing with environmental issues, and on its provision of evidence
that it has incorporated all environmental requirements into its method statements, and its
staffing and budgetary provisions. PfR will retain the services of specialist advisers, for
example on archaeology and ecology, to be called on as required to provide advice on specific
issues, including micro-siting4. More detailed information on the role of such specialist
advisors during construction is provided in the relevant technical sections, where appropriate.
4.14.4 To ensure all mitigation measures outlined within this ES are carried out, contractors will be
required to develop and adhere to the following documents throughout the construction
process:
• Environmental Management Plan (including pollution prevention measures and
construction method statements);
• Traffic Management Plan (see Chapter 7, Traffic Access and Transport); and
• Waste Management Plan (see Chapter 13, Hydrology, Hydrogeology and Geology
and Appendix 13.2. Site Waste Management Plan).
