Where such items are accidently dropped or left in the sea, every reasonable effort shall be made to recover them; so far as is reasonably practicable that part of the sea bottom which is disturbed by the laying or trenching operations shall be restored to a condition that will not interfere with fishing activities; appropriate fishing organisations shall be informed every 24 hours of the positions at which construction work is being carried out during the first 24 hours and on the following 3 days. Radio broadcasts shall be made from the installation vessel twice daily; if any defects in the pipelines are disclosed by an inspection or monitoring, the Secretary of State shall be notified, such work as may be necessary to rectify it shall be carried out as soon as practicable; any contents of the pipelines released by way of a pressure relief system shall be disposed of safely and in such a manner so as to ensure that as far as is reasonably practicable no pollution occurs; substances introduced into the pipelines or any part thereof other than those consisting entirely of untreated seawater or sweet water shall not be discharged into the sea or other waters except with the prior written consentof the Secretary of State and in accordance with any conditions which may be attached to that consent.

Flyndre and Cawdor Environmental Statement Appendix A - Register of Environmental Legislation Seabed lease Location of structures Well consent Licensing Planning Crown Estate Act 1961 Regulator: Crown Estate Commissioners Coast Protection Act 1949 Regulator: DECC Continental Shelf Act 1964 The Continental Shelf (Designation of Areas) (Consolidation) Order 2000 (as amended 2001) Petroleum Act 1998 Petroleum Operations Notice No 4 Petroleum Licensing (Production) (Seaward Areas) Regulations 2008 (as amended 2009) Marine Coastal Access Act 2009 and Marine (Scotland) Act Minute of agreement required for occupation of seabed. The issuing of 'consent to locate' under the Coast Protection Act 1949 Section 34, Part II by the Secretary of State to an individual or organisation provides an indication that impacts have been considered with respect to (i) navigation and (ii) the local habitat within the proposed area; that no significant impacts would occur as a consequence of the proposed offshore installation. The consent issued as part of the PWA for work in support of pipelines or part of the PON 4 for drilling (if it is a separate vessel not from a surface installation). Regulator: DECC The Coastal Protection Act 1949 requires consent for offshore installations in UK territorial waters, the Continental Shelf Act extends the UK government’s right to grant licences to explore (and exploit) hydrocarbon resources to the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). The Continental Shelf (Designation of Areas) (Consolidation) Order 2000 consolidates the various Orders made under the Continental Shelf Act 1964 which have designated the areas of the continental shelf within which the rights of the United Kingdom with respect to the sea bed and subsoil and their natural resources are exercisable. Regulator: DECC Application for consent to drill exploration, appraisal and development wells must be submitted to DECC through the WONS. Petroleum Licensing (Production) (Seaward Areas) Regulations 2008 were issued under the Petroleum Act 1998. In order to search, bore for or get petroleum within Great Britain, or beneath the UK territorial sea and Continental Shelf a licence should be obtained from the Secretary of State. Petroleum Licensing (Amendment) Regulations 2009 amendments to the regulations include updates to the standard application fees for petroleum licences. The Marine (Scotland) Act aims to introduce a new statutory marine planning system to sustainably manage the increasing, and often conflicting, demands on our seas. The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 makes provision for the amendment of the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009 in order to place responsibility for enforcement in the Scottish offshore region with the Scottish Ministers, when there is significant damage to species and habitats protected under the EU Habitats and Wild Birds Directives. This responsibility will not include enforcement of the prevention and remediation of damage caused by oil and gas activities or CO2 storage activities which will remain with DECC D/4114/2011 A ‐ 7
