    APPENDIX IPROTECTED SPECIES MANAGEMENT PLAN

    1. INTRODUCTION

    This plan forms one of a series of discipline plans which, collectively, form the ConstructionEnvironmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the A477 St Clears to Red Roses Improvement.(Project)

    These plans shall be implemented throughout the construction phase of the works for theProject. They form part of the site management procedures as defined in the Project QualityPlan.

    This plan provides procedures for the management of protected species within the permanent ortemporary works areas during construction. This plan does not cover invasive species asseparate plans cover these elements. A separate plan is also provided for unexpected protectedor rare species.

    2. POTENTIAL IMPACTS

    The Environmental Statement (ES) and Statement to Inform Appropriate Assessment (SIAA) forthe Project included a detailed assessment of existing third party information on the ecology ofthe area. It also contained significant surveys for specific protected and rare species over a multi-year period. These surveys continued in 2011 and 2012.

    As part of the ES and the SIAA the potential impact on protected species was identified. Thisincluded:

    Loss of two Badger main setts and closure of a number of outlier setts. Severance ofbadger foraging areas.Loss of two bat roost trees and severance to foraging areas (NB following publication ofthe ES one of the two bat roost trees was removed by a third party);Loss of reptile habitat;Effects on otter; andPotential effects on nesting Goshawk.

    Surveys in advance of site clearance have identified the presence of dormouse on the site.

    Mitigation is being provided for badgers (for which a licence application to close setts will bemade), dormouse and bats (European Protected Species Licenses have been applied for topermit impacts on dormouse and the remaining bat roost). A method statement has beenprepared to cover reptile capture and relocation. Method statements have been provided tominimise impacts on otter and goshawk.

    The location of all protected species have been shown on the Site Clearance drawings (16454-H-200-01 to 015)) which show (for instance) the location of badger setts and bat roosts within thePermanent and temporary works areas. In addition, the Existing Vegetation Design (16454-H-3000-01 to 015) shows some of these features.

    3. PROCEDURES

    The appendices to this plan found in Appendix P contain the following:

    1. A copy of the Badger license (to be appended when received);2. A Badger Method statement;

    3. A copy of the dormouse license (to be appended when received);4. A dormouse Method statement;5. A copy of the Bat License (to be appended when received);6. The bat method statement;7. The otter method statement;8. The Goshawk method statement; and9. The reptile method statement.

    The main procedures for the avoidance of impacts on, and protection of protected species arecontained within each of the method statements. Each method statement shall be enacted on siteas, and when, required. Most notably this will be during site clearance, erection of boundaryfencing, erection of the temporary crossing of the Afon Hydfron, construction of the embankment

    across the Afon Taf and Afon Hydfron floodplains and construction of the new flood alleviationculvert. The roles and responsibilities for the implementation of the protected species methodstatements are given below.

    As part of the main landscape and ecological design, the ES identified a range of ecologicalmitigation to be implemented to reduce impacts on the site ecology, and to enhance theecological value of the final design. This included:

    Creation of landscape and ecological mitigation areas in isolated plots of land adjacent tothe main alignment;

    Creation of new habitat alongside the main alignment;Movement of existing lichen and bryophyte habitat;

    Translocation of 1200m of important hedgerows;Construction of two artificial badger settsConstruction of two artificial otter holts;Erection of bat and bird boxes (including in/on new structures);Erection of deadwood; Erection of artificial refugia and log piles.

    The Environmental Co-Ordinator shall ensure that mitigation identified in the Commitmentsregister (from the ES and SIAA) is included in the detailed design and implemented/constructedon site. As part of the detailed design, the Project ecologist shall identify the ecological objectivesfor the landscape planting scheme and will document these, along with a timeline showing whenthese objectives are likely to be achieved.

    The Environmental Clerk of Works and the Environmental Co-Ordinator shall ensure thattemporary mitigation is included in the detailed design and implemented and maintained on siteduring construction.

    As a summary Appendix I1provides programming information in relation to protected speciespresent in the project footprint or vicinity.

    5. MONITORING SURVEY AND ACTIONS

    5.1 Coverage

    The Plan covers all areas of temporary and permanent works. The Plan covers known protectedspecies (bats, dormouse, badger, goshawk, otter and reptiles) at known locations. Should these

  • 8/10/2019 Appendix I Protected Species Management Plan

    5/15

    species be identified elsewhere within the permanent or temporary works during construction, theEnvironmental Clerk of Works will instigate the unexpected species plan and undertake an initialreview. Thereafter, the method statements attached to this plan and the EMP drawings will beupdated and a suitable action plan prepared by the Environment Clerk of Works with advice fromthe Project Ecologist.

    Should protected species not identified in this plan, and for which no method statement iscurrently available, is detected, the Unexpected Protected or Rare Species Management Planshall be implemented (Appendix O).

    Should protected or rare species be seen in the immediate area of the works, but off site, thisinformation should be passed to the Environmental Clerk of works who will define any actionsthought to be required. In most instances this will only comprise recording of the information (theboundary protected species fences should minimise access to the site by protected and rarespecies.

    5.2 Identification of Protected and Rare Species

    All Employees shall be given tool box talks. The talks will revolve around a series of simple toremember actions:

    1. If any employee on site identifies a plant or animal they believe to be protected or rare,and they are not marked on the environmental management plans, they are to report thisto the Environment Clerk of works immediately;

    2. The site supervisor should be informed and he will stop works in the area the species islocated;

    3. Under no circumstances should suspected protected or rare species be picked up,moved or disturbed by site employees, even where they appear to be injured or introuble.

    4. The Environmental Clerk of Works will visit the location of the find as soon as possible

    and inform site staff of the appropriate measures required.

    5.3 Initial Site Visit and Review

    Please refer to the Unexpected Protected or Rare Species Plan (Appendix O).

    5.4 Action Plans

    Please refer to the Unexpected Protected or Rare Species Plan.

    5.5 Monitoring and Verification

    A programme of monitoring of mitigation measures for Protected species shall be undertakenthroughout the construction period. This shall comprise:

    6. RECORDING

    6.1 Reporting

    All ecological reports shall be reviewed and signed off by the Project ecologist and Environmentalco-ordinator. All ecological reports shall be reviewed and agreed with the Project Manager andthe Welsh Governments Project Manager (or his appointee) prior to issue to third parties.

    As areas of ecological mitigation are completed and released for construction works, the form inappendix I will be used to record the sign off.
