A full review of the comments raised and how these have been responded to in the ES is presented in Table 2.1 in Chapter 2. Table 13.5 Consultation Responses Consultee SEPA Response • Disruption to wetland and peat bogs should be minimised • Re-use of excavated peat should be maximised. • Forest removal and generation of forest waste should be minimised. • Impacts on existing groundwater abstractions should be avoided or reduced to acceptable levels. • Engineering activities near the water environment should be fully justified and constructed according to environmental best practice methods. • Details of any required water abstraction should be provided. • Pollution prevention measures should be fully documented and adopted. • Details of material borrow areas should be provided. • Flood risk should be assessed.
