Camilty Wind Farm - Partnerships for Renewables

Camilty Wind Farm
• Bunds will be placed along the route of the buried cable route to prevent the creation
of a preferential pathway for groundwater arising along the path of the cable; and
• All cables will be marked above and below ground to ensure there is no danger to
human health or the environment during maintenance or earth works within the vicinity
of the cable routes.
Concrete Pouring
13.6.43 When concrete is being poured shutters will be used and, if being poured into an excavation,
only into an area free from standing water. Pumps should be used to keep excavations dry if
required.
13.6.44 Concrete pouring will not be undertaken during heavy rainfall.
13.6.45 No concrete will be placed within 0.5 m of an open water channel unless the area can be fully
isolated from the stream, for example through bunding and lining.
13.6.46 Concrete batching will be undertaken on-site only in the construction compound.
Traffic
13.6.47 Site traffic will be kept to clearly designated tracks, in line with a site-specific traffic
management plan.
13.6.48 Barriers and/or netting will be used to prevent vehicle movements in sensitive areas as per
CE Handbook specifications.
13.6.49 Where vehicle movements are required to take place off-track, e.g. on soft ground during
construction phase, these will be limited to the absolute minimum and where excessive offtrack
vehicle movements are required, temporary tracks (e.g. geotextile overlain with
aggregate) or peat-boards should be used to prevent damage to the soil and creation of
sediment laden runoff. Such tracks will be removed upon completion of the works.
13.6.50 If there is a requirement to wash vehicles on-site or as they enter, or leave site, this activity
should be undertaken in a designated area that is bunded to prevent uncontrolled runoff or
release of water from the washing process. All water and runoff arising from vehicle washing
will be controlled and treated prior to discharge back into any watercourse.
13.7 Enhancement Measures
13.7.1 No specific hydrological, hydrogeological or ground condition enhancement measures are
proposed.
13.8 Assessment of Residual Effects
13.8.1 Table 13.18 presents a summary of the predicted effects identified in this chapter and an
assessment of the residual significance of effects following the implementation of mitigation
measures identified in the previous section.
