Key Mitigation and Enhancement Measures
are noted, these will be recorded, suitable action identified and undertaken within a suitable timeframe.
Waste Management
The production of waste will be minimised throughout the works, including wastes from peat and this has been taken into account in the
design process to avoid where possible areas of deeper peat. Where waste is generated, this will be reused and recycled where
possible.
A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) will be produced to address the management of waste streams. The SWMP will address the
following issues:
• Waste Minimisation;
• Separation of Waste at Source;
• Appropriate Storage and Disposal of Waste taking account of stability and pollution prevention;
• Management of peat, Superficial Deposits and Bedrock;
• Re-use of peat where possible on site (Consultation with SEPA will be required for any intended re-use of peat on the site.);
• Management of Waste Oils;
• Recommendations for Inspection and Maintenance.
Environmental Monitoring
A groundwater and surface water monitoring programme will be implemented to obtain baseline data, as well as data during
construction works. The scope will be agreed with SEPA and Stirling Council prior to implementation.
Surface Water
A surface water monitoring network will be established a minimum of six months prior to construction works.
In addition to surface water monitoring, regular visual inspection of surface water management features such as drainage pipes and
receiving watercourses will be carried out in order to establish whether there are increased levels of suspended sediment, erosion or
deposition. It is likely that there will be an ongoing need to maintain these structures, for example by the removal of debris, to ensure
they continue to function as designed.
Regular visual inspection of watercourses will also be required during construction and decommissioning stages, particularly during
periods of high rainfall but also during low flow conditions, in order to establish that levels of suspended solids have not been
significantly increased by on-site activities.
Monitoring Ground Movement
As the access tracks are being constructed, the appearance of the track and surrounding land will be monitored for increased rate of
sinking or tilting or a rise in water levels.
