BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text 15.41 No recommendations are proposed in relation to socio-economic impacts that may arise during the operational phase. Summary 15.42 Overall, the Dissolved Acetylene Project is likely to result in positive socio-economic impacts at both the local and regional levels. It is expected that operation of the facility will create a small number of permanent jobs, while limited adverse impacts are anticipated on the economic and social level related to stress associated with construction activities. Table 15.7 provides a summary of the socio-economic impact assessment for the Project. Table 15.7 Summary of Socio-Economic Impacts Description Nature of Impact Significance Construction Employment Beneficial; temporary Minor Impacts on businesses and residents relating to stress Adverse; temporary Minor Impact on leisure activities Negligible Negligible Impact on land and property values Operation Negligible Negligible Employment Beneficial; permanent Minor Impact on businesses and residents relating to stress Negligible Negligible Impact on leisure activities Negligible Negligible Impact on land and property values Negligible Negligible 5100935.404 Environmental Statement August 2011 268
BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text 16. Cumulative and In-combination Impacts Introduction 16.1 For impacts associated with the Dissolved Acetylene Project that are assessed to be of an adverse nature, this Chapter addresses, so far as is possible, the potential for combined and cumulative impacts. The assessment of combined and cumulative impacts is an integral part of the EIA process and ensures that all aspects of potential impacts from the proposed development have been addressed to ensure minimum overall impact on communities and the natural environment. 16.2 Cumulative impacts can arise when an impact from one project occurs at the same time as an impact from another project in the vicinity (for example, two concurrent construction projects). The cumulative impacts of existing operational facilities are accounted for through the baseline studies (as described in Chapters 6 to 15). Thus, only proposed developments are considered in the assessment of cumulative impacts. Proposed developments have been identified through consultation with NELC and only include ‘known’ developments (i.e. those that have already applied for Planning Consent). 16.3 In-combination (or ‘combined’) impacts may occur when an operation (or operations) associated with a development gives rise to several types of impacts on a single receptor (e.g. the combination of air quality, noise and traffic impacts at a particular residential property). 16.4 It is noted, that none of the phases of the Dissolved Acetylene Project has been predicted to result in significant adverse residual impacts and, as such, the probability of cumulative and incombination impacts is considered to be low. Cumulative Impacts Identification of Other Developments 16.5 For the purpose of the cumulative assessment, consideration has been given to proposed development schemes that will be under construction in operation at the same time as the Dissolved Acetylene Project. The Dissolved Acetylene Project construction works are due to take place over a 9 month period from Q1 of 2012, with operation commencing before the end of 2012. The design life of the process plant is 25 years; thus it is expected that the site will operate until 2037. 16.6 Planning Applications have been submitted for seven industrial developments within the locality of BOC site (see Nos. 2 to 8 in Table 16.1 and on Figure 16.1). In addition, a new Biomass power plant (No. 9 in Table 16.1 and on Figure 16.1) has been proposed by Real Ventures at Immingham Docks; however, a Planning Application has not yet been submitted and detailed information is not available. It was agreed with NELC that Real Ventures will need to account for the potential cumulative impacts of their development and the BOC development in their ES. 16.7 Table 16.1 provides summary details and a description of the proposed developments as well as commentary on whether each development has the potential for cumulative impacts with the Dissolved Acetylene Project. The approximate locations of the proposed developments are indicated on Figure 16.1. 5100935.404 Environmental Statement August 2011 269
