BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement Designated Site SSSI, SAC SSSI, SAC, Ramsar site SSSI, SAC, Ramsar site SSSI, SAC, Ramsar site Qualifying Interest Features Presence of Qualifying Feature in Relation to Proposed Development and Likelihood for Impacts to Occur (‘grey dunes’) peninsula and the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> coast. Dunes with Hippophae rhamnoides Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) River lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) Grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) There are no dune systems in the vicinity of the proposed development and there are no pathways through which any impact would result changes to the dune systems in the outer Humber (including changes to air quality (see above under Mudflats)). This habitat type is present in the outer Humber with key sites at Cleethorpes and the Spurn peninsula. There are no dune systems in the vicinity of the proposed development and there are no pathways through which any impact would result changes to the dune systems in the outer Humber (including changes to air quality (see above under Mudflats)). The Humber Estuary is the migration route for this species from coastal waters to the River Derwent which is recognised at a national and international level as an important spawning river. Suitable habitats for this species within the Humber include silt and sand beds at the river margins and in the main river channel. The proposed development, which is approximately 1 km from the Estuary, would have no affect on either the habitats for, or the migration route of, this species. The Humber Estuary is the migration route for this species from coastal waters to the River Derwent which is recognised at a national and international level as an important spawning river. Suitable habitats for this species within the Humber include silt and sand beds at the river margins and in the main river channel. The proposed development, which is approximately 1 km from the Estuary, would have no affect on either the habitats for, or the migration route of, this species. The second largest grey seal population breeding in England is found at Donna Nook on the coast (over 20 km from the proposed development). Grey seals remain off the surrounding coast throughout the year and although they can be found throughout the Humber, activity is centred on the coast with the peak sensitivity between October and December inclusive when the species mate and pup. Tagging studies have shown that most feeding activity of seals occurs within 50 km of the haul out site (Donna Nook).

BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement Designated Site SSSI, Ramsar site SSSI, SPA, Ramsar site xviii Qualifying Interest Features Natterjack toad (Epidalea calamita) Breeding populations of birds of European Importance, populations of birds on passage and populations of wintering birds. Presence of Qualifying Feature in Relation to Proposed Development and Likelihood for Impacts to Occur The proposed development is approximately 1 km from the Estuary and there are no pathways through which an impact could affect the grey seal population. This species is known to use the dune slacks at Saltfleetby Theddlethorpe (over 30 km from the proposed development), which is the most north easterly breeding site for the species in Great Britain. Given the distance of the known breeding population of this species from the proposed development and the lack of habitat for this species in the vicinity there are no pathways through which an impact could affect the species or its habitat. A detailed assessment of the potential disturbance from noise levels, vibration and visual disturbance during construction is given in the Information to Support a HRA Stage 2 AA Report 7 presented in Appendix 10A. A summary of this assessment is given below. There are a number of bird species which are qualifying features of the Humber Estuary SPA and Ramsar site. Areas of the South Humber Bank are particularly important as a high tide roost for water birds associated with the SPA and Ramsar site such curlew, golden plover, redshank and lapwing. The development site has not previously been used by significant numbers of the important bird population and is not adjacent to any fields within the South Humber Bank that have been previously found to support significant numbers of SSSI/SPA/Ramsar site birds (with the exception of a field directly to the south which already has planning permission for a new development). The proposed development will not result in the loss of any habitat within the SPA or Ramsar site during construction and is approximately 1 km from the SPA/Ramsar boundary (and underlying SSSIs). No disturbance to birds within the SPA/Ramsar boundary is anticipated. There is the potential for disturbance of birds using high-tide roost sites away from the Estuary during construction from noise and visual disturbance (presence of people, machinery, and lighting). This will be of Impact Significance No significant negative effect No significant negative effect xviii The internationally important bird population is designated under the SPA, Ramsar site and the IBA. Therefore, for the purposes of this assessment, any impacts on the internationally important bird population, which are described in this ES as SPA birds, will be considered to have the same impacts on the Ramsar site and IBA. 5100935.404 Environmental Statement August 2011 171
