BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement Designated Site Qualifying Interest Features Presence of Qualifying Feature in Relation to Proposed Development and Likelihood for Impacts to Occur temporary duration with the most likely disturbing activity, piling, only taking ~3 weeks to complete. Worst case noise predictions, which are unlikely to be a reality, indicate that birds are unlikely to be disturbed such that they would be displaced from the surrounding high-tide roosts. Although significant negative impacts as a result of construction activities are not predicted, a Construction Ornithological Monitoring Programme (COMP) has been proposed (as described in Appendix 10A). This will be part of the CEMP. In brief, the COMP would enable determination of whether working practices on site require amending to reduce the number of disturbance events and thus minimise negative impacts (as / if applicable). The assessment has predicted that the proposed Dissolved Acetylene Project will not result in a negative effect upon the conservation objectives of the Humber Estuary SPA or Ramsar site either alone or in-combination with other projects and no adverse effects upon the integrity of the Humber Estuary SSSI/SPA/Ramsar site is anticipated.

BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement Table 10.7 Potential Construction Impacts on Non-Statutory Designated Sites, Notable Habitats and Notable Species Features Potential Impacts Non-Statutory Designated Sites Non-statutory designated sites for nature conservation Undesignated Habitats Lowland Calcareous grassland UK BAP habitat Arable field and margins Middle Drain and ditches surrounding the application site Non-statutory designated sites include <strong>North</strong> Moss Lane Meadow SNCI, Stallingborough Fish Ponds LWS and Laporte Road Brownfield Site LWS. There would be no habitat loss within these sites. No indirect impacts are predicted on these sites due to their distance from the development area and lack of connecting habitats (i.e. there are no identified pathways from the site to these sites through which impacts could occur). There would be no loss of this habitat. No effect on this habitat is expected due to the distance of over 800 m from the development area; the existing BOC site also lies in between the development site and the grassland. There are no connecting habitats or identified pathways through which impacts could occur. The land take will include permanent irreversible loss of arable land (~2 to 4 ha). Arable land has very little intrinsic value for nature conservation and this habitat type is common in the UK and in the local area. The loss of this habitat within the redline boundary would not lead to any significant ecological effects (see also birds below). For the most part arable field margins would be retained due to the 7 m maintenance strip along Middle Drain and the 18 m Anglian Water easement along South Marsh Road. A very small area of field margin along the boundary with the Railway Line to the west of the application site could be lost temporarily during construction but ultimately this area will be managed for the benefit of wildlife in the long term. The temporary loss would not result in negative impacts on the conservation status of the habitat (see also reptiles below). A bridge (two lanes wide) is to be constructed over Middle Drain. The bridge will have a carriageway of 8.2 m, plus 1.5 m for a footpath to one side only, plus 1 m each side for the structure, so overall width would be approximately 11.7 m. There will be a 7 m maintenance strip along the top of the bank of Middle Drain and no construction activities will occur within this zone, other than in the immediate vicinity of the bridge footings landings. The bridge footings landing area will be at least 5 m from the top of the banks and construction activities will not occur within 5 m of the top of the Impact Significance No significant negative effect No significant negative effect No significant negative effect No significant negative effect 5100935.404 Environmental Statement August 2011 173
