(2) The remediation strategy or design statement, if remediation is not required, prepared under sub-paragraph (1) must include details of—

(a)a site investigation, based on the preliminary risk assessment bearing reference HE551473-ARC-TPU-RP-CE-3199 reported in chapter 9 (geology and soils) of the environmental statement, to provide information for a relevant risk assessment of the risk to the identified receptors that may be affected, including those outside the Order limits;

(b)the results of the site investigation and the relevant risk assessment referred to in sub-paragraph (a) and, based on these, an options appraisal and remediation strategy, where necessary, giving full details of the remediation measures required to render the land fit for its intended purpose and how they are to be undertaken; and

(c)a verification plan, where necessary, providing details of the data that will be collected in order to demonstrate that the works set out in the remediation strategy under sub-paragraph (b) are complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action.

(3) In the event that soil or water contamination, including groundwater, is found at any time when carrying out the authorised development, which was not previously identified and accounted for within the approved remediation strategy, it must be reported as soon as reasonably practicable to the Secretary of State, the relevant planning authority and the Environment Agency, and the undertaker must update the remediation strategy in consultation with the relevant planning authority and the Environment Agency on matters related to their functions.

(4) Remediation, where necessary, must be carried out in accordance with the approved remediation strategy unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Secretary of State following consultation with the relevant planning authority and the Environment Agency on matters related to their functions.

The verification report must include results of sampling and monitoring carried out in accordance with the approved details.

(6) The authorised development is not to commence until an updated hydrogeological risk assessment report that addresses the risks to the groundwater resources that may be impacted by the authorised development has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Secretary of State, following consultation with the relevant planning authority and the Environment Agency on matters related to their functions.

(7) The report prepared under sub-paragraph (6) must include details of—

(a)the pre-construction baseline conditions of all features identified during a comprehensive water features survey;

(b)an updated hydrogeological model for the area that has been identified as being affected by the construction of all elements of the authorised development;

(c)suitable monitoring locations and parameters to be used for the duration of the construction of the authorised development and will serve as monitoring points for the verification of a successful scheme; and

(d)a dewatering management plan containing a groundwater monitoring programme that must be implemented to ensure the continued safeguards of abstractions identified by the water features survey.

(8) The authorised development must be carried out in accordance with the approved dewatering management plan as informed by the updated hydrogeological risk assessment.
