INTRODUCTION

The following screening opinion is produced on behalf of Salford City Council, on

request from Green Energy Solutions Ltd under Regulation 5(1) of The Town and

Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 (SI. 2011

No. 1824) (hereby referred to as EIA Regulations2011).

PROPOSAL CONTEXT

The proposed planning project from Green Energy Solutions Ltd entails the

construction and operation of a combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which will

produce electricity and residual thermal energy via combustion of biomass primarily

for the University residential properties located at Aldephi Street, with excess thermal

energy supplied to nearby residential properties. Construction of the plant is set to

take 18 months, when fully operation it will provide employment for 20 people. The

plant is rated at 25MW, with an efficiency of 80%, and is expected combust material

at a rate of 3 tonnes per hour.

The main CHP plant will be situated at the junction of Silk Street and Blackfriars

Road (of Flax Street) occupying 1.3ha, with the Fuel Processing and Storage depot

situated adjacent to St. Simon Street occupying 0.7ha, both will be connected by an

conveyor over Blackfriars Road. It will be supplied with green waste generated from

municipal parks and gardens supplemented with woodchips from municipal and

commercial waste within the Greater Manchester Area. Supply and removal of waste

will require 25 vehicle movements per day (see Figure 1. for Map).

ASSESSMENT FOR LEVEL OF EIA REQUIREMENT

EIA screening procedure

The EIA Regulations 2011 sets out the legislative context for determining whetherEIA is required and whether an Environmental Statement needs to be submitted in

the support of a planning application. Along with the guidance notes from Circular

02/99 the need to undertake EIA follows the steps outlined in Figure 2. This process

is known as Screening and is one of the initial steps in the overall EIA process.

Schedule 1 Assessment

The project could have potentially fallen under any three clauses in Schedule 1,

these were:

Clause Reason for consideration Reason for nonapplicableapplicabilitynon-applicability

2(a) Thermal power stationsand other combustioninstallations with a heatoutput of 300 megawatts ormore; and

Producing heat throughcombustion process therefore canbe regarded as the othercombustion installation stated inclause.

Does not adhere to the 300MWor more heat output threshold asthe BiomassCHPstation plantwill only have rated output of25MW.

Consideration given, since theCHP Biomassplant can bepotentially regarded as a wastedisposal installation due to thedefinition of disposal underthenewer 2008/98/EC Article 3 (19)disposal means any operationwhich is not recovery even wherethe operation has as a secondaryconsequence the reclamation ofsubstances or energy. Annex Isets out a non-exhaustive list ofdisposal operations.

Can be regarded as anincineration plant sinceincineration through combustionwill take place (defined as

incineration plant in 2007/76/EC:any stationary or mobile technicalunit and equipment dedicated tothe thermal treatment of wasteswith or without recovery of thecombustion heat generated)

Does not fall under definedcategories of disposal operationsdefined in Annex IIA to CouncilDirective 75/442/EEC (a) underheading D9 (amended under2008/98/EC as Annex I).

Waste used is not hazardous asdefined in regulation 6 of theHazardous Waste (England andWales) Regulations 2005(b)stated as: 6. Subject toregulation 9, a waste is ahazardous waste if it is(a)listed as a hazardous waste inthe List of Wastes(1);(b)listed in regulations madeunder section 62A(1) of the 1990

Act; or(c) A specific batch of wastewhich is determined pursuant toregulation 8 to be a hazardouswaste, and the term hazardousand cognate expressions shallbe construed accordingly.Nor does it apply to definedhazardous waste under AnnexIII of 2008/98/EC.

10.Waste disposalinstallations for theincineration or chemicaltreatment (as defined inAnnex IIA to Council

Directive 75/442/EEC underheading D9) of non-hazardous waste with acapacity exceeding 100tonnes per day.

Consideration given, since theCHP can be potentially regardedas a waste disposal installationdue to the definition of disposalunder the newer 2008/98/EC

Article 3 (19) disposal meansany operation which is notrecovery even where theoperation has as a secondaryconsequence the reclamation ofsubstances or energy. Annex Isets out a non-exhaustive list ofdisposal operations.

Can be regarded as anincineration plant sinceincineration through combustionwill take place (defined as

incineration plant in 2007/76/EC:any stationary or mobile technicalunit and equipment dedicated tothe thermal treatment of wasteswith or without recovery of thecombustion heat generated)

The waste that will be used isnon-hazardous as defined inregulation 6 of the HazardousWaste (England and Wales)Regulations 2005(b)

EIA would be required for a plantthat exceeds 100 tonnes/day.

From the examination of Schedule 1 of EIA regulation it has been determined thatthe planned project will not fall under a mandatory requirement for EIA. Therefore

Schedule 2 is consulted.

It has been determined that the project does not fall under the disposal category ofDirective 75/442/EEC i.e. D9 of Annex IIA nor Annex I of the amended directive i.e.2008/98/EC. Therefore it has been referred to in Annex II of 2008/98/EC as aRecovery operation, specifically under R1 category of Annex IIB of 75/442/EECAnnex II of 2008/98/EC (or or Annex II of 2008/98/ECAnnex IIB of 75/442/EEC) i.e.waste Use principally as a fuel or other means to generate energy. This is clarifiedby 2008/98/EC, since it states what the threshold is for an operation to be classifiedas Recovery: This includes incineration facilities dedicated to the processing ofmunicipal solid waste only where their energy efficiency is equal to or above:lto or above:

0,60,60 for installations in operation and permitted in accordance with applicableCommunity legislation before 1 January 2009, 0,65,65for installations permitted after 31 December 2008

The proposed plant has an energy efficiency of 80%; if below 65% it would havebeen classified as a wastedisposal treatment facility under Schedule 1 due to thestatutory definition with regards to 75/442/EEC. However under Schedule 2 thedefinition of waste disposal is non-statutory and can include recovery operations(Circular 02/99 paragraphA36).

In reference to Circular 02/99 paragraph 10: Projects of the types listed in Annex II(i.e. Schedule 2 of the EIA Regulations) . must be subject to EIA whenever they arelikely to have significant effects on the environment. A determination of whether or

not EIA is required must be made for all projects of a type listed in Annex II . (i.e.Schedule 2 of the EIA Regulations).

Schedule 2 Assessment

To determine if the project is excluded from EIA Schedule 2 of EIA Regulations 2011

is consulted:

Project mentioned inSchedule 2 Column 1

Being carried out in asensitive area as defined inRegulation 2 (1)

1

Has the project exceeded/metany of thethresholds/criterion inSchedule 2 Column 2

Potentially 3(a) since theCHP will be producingthermal energy.

Potentially 11(b) since thewaste is being used aspart of a disposal process(generalised definition of

disposal and wasteapplies)

No the CHP will not becarried near any sensitiveareas, as defined.

Inconsideration to 3(a) theCHP has a combined floorspace exceeding 0.5ha i.e.

Inconsideration to 11(b)the CHP applies to all thepoints i.e. disposal isoccurring through

incineration (combustionprocess); the floor spaceexceeds 0.5ha; the CHPwill be situated within100m of the River IErwell(controlled water).

1Regulation 2(1) defines 'sensitive areas', which include Sites of Special Scientific Interests (SSSIs), land to

which Natural Conservation Orders apply, International Conservation Sites, National Parks, Areas of OutstandingNatural Beauty, World Heritage Sites and Scheduled Monuments

Since the proposed CHP plant potentially falls under two sections of Column 1 ofSchedule 2: 3(a) and 11(b) and exceeds the subsequent thresholds set in Column 2of Schedule 2, a case-by-case examination incorporating Schedule 3 criteria will berequired to determine if EIA would potentially be required.

CASE-BY-CASE ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE EIA REQUIREMENT

In accordance with Schedule 3 criterias a case-by case analysis of potential signif icant impacts have been determined, and

produced as two tables:

Table 1: Summary identi f icat ion of potential environmental impacts and signif icance

Criteria Particularities Assessment

Characteristicsofdevelopment

the size of thedevelopment

The development consists of the CHP combustion plant that will be situated on the land near to Flax Street.This will have a floor size of 1.3 ha; connected to the fuel processing and storage depot adjacent in St. SimonStreet, which will have a floor space of 0.7ha. The combined space of the development will be 2ha; this will besignificantly larger than any of the local estates. Current access route to the development site will remain withno modifications to roads.

the accumulating withother development

Currently there are no developments planned on the site where the biomass plant is to be situated, howeverthe land next to St. Simon Street has a previous planning application made by t he University of Salford forstudent accommodation (11/60830/FUL see Appendix A).

the use of naturalresources

Normal construction materials will be used for the development; there will be no locally sourced naturalresources that will be used in the construction of the plant. andOoperation of the biomass plant will bedependent on green waste from municipal parks and gardens supplemented by woodchips from municipal andcommercial waste..

the production of waste

There is likely to be waste produced as a result of the construction phase of the project i.e. the land for thebiomass plant will require removal of debris and vegetation. The land for the fuel processing plant currently has

car park and depot which will require demolition. Also solid waste will be present produced during the day-to-day running of the site in the form of residual ash due tofromincineration combustion process.


8/27

pollution and nuisances

Increase in air pollution and nuisance dust during demolition and construction (aerial debris and particulates)and during plant operation (i.e. stack emission). Increase in air pollution also f rom increased traffic to and fromthe CHP plant and Fuel Processing and Storage. Visual, noise and vibration pollution is also likely to increasefor the nearby residents and River Erwell Irwell users during and after construction (both operational such asfrom plant machinery and also from vehicular traffic), however the routes Blackfriars Road and Silk Street arealready significantly used by heavy vehicles such as busses and lorries so impact is likely to be cumulate less.Also. Also possible nuisance odours from the waste that is received and stored can effect local population.

the risk of accidents,having regard inparticular to substancesor technologies used

There is a possibility of contamination of surrounding vicinity and River IrwellErwell from leachate of wastematerials produced by plant (which can be in the form of leachate) in storage.,Ffire hazards possibility(dueexists due to the nature of the biomass material (wood chips and green waste) waste material being usedand from the process of combustion itself). Careful consideration will be required to ensure no route is madeavailable for contamination of river water e.g. from rainwater run -off or if the River IrwellErwell was to everflood. Since the plant will be near residential areas there is a possibility of unauthorised trespass.

Locationofdevelopment the existing land use

The location of the development is near to residential area, and next to the River ErwellIrwell, which isassociated with Salford Unitary Development Plan policies EN9/EN17 and R5 (Wildlife Corridor, PollutionControl, and Countryside Access Network respectively). The land for the plant is currently brownfield, althoughthe land for the f uel processing plant has an existing car park and depot situated in place ('Trinity ManagementArea Local Operations Depot'). It should be noted that the land for the Fuel Processing and Storage depot wasonce a coal mining area, which had been a 'constraint' designated to previous s 11/60830/FUL (see AppendixA) planning application on St.Simon Street.

the relative abundance,quality and regenerativecapacity of naturalresources in the area

The River IrErwell currently accommodates wildlife such as wild ducks, geese, as well as a variety of fishessuch as bream, carp, roach, etc. ((REF)Waterscape, 2011) and is a frequent fishing spot and recreationalarea. Recovery of wildlife inI the area has been slow since the river was highly contaminated in the past, aremnant of the industrial era n of Salford (GMLRC, 2011).

There are neither sensitive sites nor those that conform to EU Directives 2009/1477

/EC or 92/43/EEC within the immediate vicinity of the plant location.

areas in which theenvironmental qualitystandards laid down inEU legislation havealready beenexceeded

The location of the site falls under Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) and Air QualityManagement Area (AQMA) boundary as declared in 2005 by Salford. The newestreport confirms that there has been no change in the area so the AQMA remains ineffect (Salford, 2010) (see Figure 3. and 4.)

densely populatedareas

The plant will be situated within 100m of existing residential densities located onBlackfriars Road, Silk Street and St Simon St reet. The plant could can also have anegative impact of the value of residential properties as it will be the only large non-residential construction within the vicinity and will not adhere to the generalresidential aesthetics of the area.

landscapes ofhistorical, cultural orarchaeologicalsignificance

River IErwell and boundary has local significance and has recognised importance bySalford UDP due to policy associations in terms of environmental, leisure andtourism; Polices EN9/15 17 and R5. There are no nearby landscapes of historical,cultural or archaeological significance.

Characteristicsofthepotentialimpact

the extent of theimpact (geographicalarea and size of theaffected population)

Any adverse effects will be localized during construction and operation, howeverthere is potential for wider impact if there is contamination of the local controlledwater and from air emissions.Benefits associated with savings of CO2, NOx, PM10, etc. as a result of plantoperation in comparison to traditional energy and heat producing facilities can havewider implications and contribute towards local, national and European emissionstargets and strategies

the trans-frontiernature of the impact

N/A in this case.

the magnitude andcomplexity of theimpact

Any impacts in terms of a ir emissions and water contamination are likely to becomplex, considering the site is in an AQMA and the where river pollutants canaccumulate and enter the human food chain i.e. due to the fishing that occurs there.

the probability of theimpact

Impact from pollution is lhighly significant and likely ikelyespecially with regards to airemissions from stack and traffic on and offsite. Although less likely if the plant isconstructed appropriately i.e.to reduce chance ofwaterWater run-off anddischargefrom site into river is likely to occur during periods of precipitation the, theprobability of impacts increases since the site falls under a 'moderate-high' flood riskzone designated by the Environment Agency (2011) (see Figure 5.)

the duration,frequency andreversibility of theimpact

Any impacts are likely to become long-term if not managed during plant operation, airemissions from the plant will be frequent and would require BAT, and if contaminationof waters should occur, the complexities can also constitute to long term effects thatcannot be easily reversed and can be difficult to reverse

CONCLUSION

Conclusion

ItIt has been determined that the project does not fall under Schedule 1; however it is

regarded as a recovery operation and therefore referred to as a Schedule 2

installation, where it has been determined a case-by-case screening is required to

determine if EIA is necessaryto be a Schedule 2 installation.

It has been assessed that the project can potentially cause significant impact

haespecially with regards to air pollution, (for which the site is already in an AQMA

and NVZ), and water contamination of River Irwell next to the plant location due to

risk of flooding and surface run-off.Due to the close proximity of residential

properties the potential risk to local people is regarded as significant in terms of

noise, vibration, light, and visual nuisances during construction and during plant

operation. However decommission of plant at a later date can also lead to significantimpacts.

It is therefore the expert opinion that an EIA should be carried out in accordance to

EIA Regulations 2011Therefore an EIA will be, which will require required and an

Environmental Statement from Green Energy solutions Ltd as stated in Circular

02/99 point paragraph 21 should be presented from them.
