Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Instrument (including any effects on those provisions):
20.—(1) The licence-holder must, when submitting details of proposed post-construction surveys, include methodologies and timings, and a proposed format, content and timings for providing reports on the results. The survey proposals shall specify each survey’s objectives and explain how it will assist in either informing a useful and valid comparison with the pre-construction position and/or will enable the validation or otherwise of key predictions in the Environmental Statement.
(2) Subject to receipt of specific proposals, it is expected that the post-construction surveys will comprise, in outline—
(a)a survey to determine any change in the location, extent and composition of any benthic habitats of conservation, ecological and/or economic importance identified in the pre-construction survey in the part(s) of the offshore Order limits in which construction works were carried out. The survey design will be informed by the results of the pre-construction benthic survey;
(b)one high resolution swath bathymetric survey to be undertaken no sooner than six months following completion of construction works and disposal activities to include a 100% coverage of the part(s) of the offshore Order limits with a water depth no greater than 12 metres (referenced to Chart Datum) within which construction works and disposal activities were carried out under this licence to assess any changes in bedform morphology and such further monitoring as may be required to ensure that the cables have been buried or protected and sediment is able to move over any installed cable protection. The need for further surveys will be agreed in writing with the MMO following submission of the first year of survey data;
(c)a grab survey and particle size analysis in the part(s) of the offshore Order limits within which dredging and disposal activities relating to Works Nos. 5 and 6 were carried out under this licence within 12 months of the completion of the dredging and disposal activities to determine the extent of suitable herring spawning ground habitat within areas HU209 and HU210;
(d)vessel traffic monitoring by Automatic Identification System, for 28 days taking account seasonal variations in traffic patterns, for a maximum duration of one year post construction. A report will be submitted to the MMO and the MCA at the end of the first year after construction is completed; and
(e)one high resolution bathymetric survey of a representative sample area, to be agreed in writing with the MMO, of the part(s) of the offshore Order limits with a water depth no greater than 12 metres (referenced to Chart Datum) within which construction works and disposal activities were carried out under this licence following the first major storm event the timing of which shall be agreed with the MMO in consultation with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
