1. The following provisions of Part 2 of this Schedule shall have effect for the protection of EDF Energy in addition to the provisions of Part 1 of this Schedule.
2.—(1) Save for urgent reasons of vessel safety and subject to sub-paragraph (3), the undertaker shall not carry out any of the authorised project (including the placement temporary or otherwise of anchors or moorings) within the areas coloured red on Plan number GWF 888 R3 Rev 3 (BEEMS-MS0345) each being a radius of 250 metres from a central point of—
(a)Intake I3B 650726E 264262N
DMS 52° 13′ 10.045″ N 1° 40′ 9.404″ E; and
(b)Intake I4B 650526E 263361
DMS 52° 12′ 41.271″ N 1° 39′ 56.487″ E.
(2) Save for urgent reasons of vessel safety the undertaker shall not undertake any of the authorised project within the areas coloured orange on Plan number GWF 888 R3 Rev 3 (BEEMS-MS0345) each being a radius of 250 metres to 500 metres from a central point of—
(a)Intake I3B 650726E 264262N
DMS 52° 13′ 10.045″ N 1° 40′ 9.404″ E; and
(b)Intake I4B 650526E 263361
DMS 52° 12′ 41.271″ N 1° 39′ 56.487″ E
without having first submitted to and secured approval from EDF Energy details of the proposed method of working within these areas (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and thereafter the undertaker shall implement the authorised project in full accordance with such approved details.
(3) Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the passage of vessels within the area specified in sub-paragraph (1) prior to the construction of any works within that location by EDF Energy or the passage of vessels within the area specified in sub-paragraph (2) at any time.
3. Save for urgent reasons of vessel safety which mean there is insufficient time to comply with sub-paragraph (a), in which case the undertaker shall use its reasonable endeavours to contact EDF Energy immediately, to inform of non-compliance, by a mechanism previously agreed in writing with EDF Energy—
(a)all tug operations relating to anchor laying and barge manoeuvring carried out in water of depth less than twice the draft of the tugs being used by the undertaker west of 01° 38′ 55.478″ E, south of 52° 14′ 12.332″ N and north of 52° 11′ 15.619″ N as shown on drawing GWF 890 R3 Rev3 (BEEMS-MS0357A) will be restricted as follows—
(i)for the area south of a line starting at the Intersection Point and running to the shore through WGS84 lat/long 52° 12′ 53.086″ N, 01° 38′ 00.049″ E (the “Dividing Line”), operations shall only be undertaken within periods of flood tide and +/- 1 hour adjoining slack high and slack low water periods;
(ii)for the area north of the Dividing Line, operations shall only be undertaken within periods of ebb tide and +/- 1 hour adjoining slack high and slack low water periods;
(b)this restriction in this paragraph applies unless EDF Energy otherwise agrees in writing either a modification of the procedure described above or an alternative protective measure relating to anchor laying and barge manoeuvring within the area west of 01° 38′ 55.478″ E, south of 52° 14′ 12.332″ N and north of 52° 11′ 15.619″ N shown on the plan and that alternative method is shown to be of no greater risk to the Sizewell B intake and its function (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(c)the “Intersection Point” means the point where the line marked B to C on drawing GWF 890 R3 Rev3 (BEEMS-MS0357A) intersects with the northern boundary of the Order limits seaward of MHWS;
(d)sub-paragraph (a) does not apply to vessels in transit.
4.—(1) No part of the works for the authorised project shall take place using vessels allied with those works within a buffer zone extending 300 metres from the Sizewell B cooling water intake and outfall and associated seabed culverts (as shown on drawing GWF 887 R3 Rev3 (BEEMS-MS0359A)) nor shall any anchor be placed within or chains or cables laid across that buffer zone during the course of such works unless the undertaker obtains the prior approval of EDF Energy (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the placement of such anchor or chains or cables within the buffer zone.
(2) The relevant centre point positions for the 300 metre buffer zone are—
(a)SZB cooling water intake—
WGS84 lat long: 52° 12′ 53.086″ N, 01° 38′ 00.049″ E;
(b)the associated subseabed culvert runs from that position through MHWS at—
WGS84 lat long: 52° 12′ 50.742″ N, 01° 37′ 24.643″ E;
(c)SZB cooling water outfall—
WGS84 lat long: 52° 12′ 54.965″ N, 01° 37′ 35.792″ E;
(d)the associated subseabed culvert runs from that position through MHWS at—
WGS84 lat long: 52° 12′ 53.399″ N, 01° 37′ 24.647″ E.
