4 Licensed activities

This section sets out the licensed activities. The licensed activities are authorised tobe carried on only in accordance with the activity details below and with the licenceconditions as set out in section 5 of this licence.

Please note that where licensed quantities are displayed with reference to theirconstituent materials, the relative quantities given for the constituent materials areindicative only.

Site 1 - Thanckes Oil Fuel Jetty

Site location Thanckes Oil Fuel Jetty, Torpoint as per co-ordinatelicence schedule 1.

Activity 1.1 - Construction of New Fuel Jetty

Activity type Construction of new works

Activity location Thanckes Oil Fuel Jetty, Torpoint as per co-ordinatelicence schedule 1.

Description The new loading facility will comprise of a new jetty headdirectly adjacent and to the north of the existing jetty headand a new jetty approach structure to the north of theexisting jetty connecting the new jetty head to the shore.

Methodology The new jetty head will comprise piles supporting a newjetty deck, with new fenders to eastern face, new laddersand guard rails. A pontoon will be provided at the rear(west side) of the new jetty head. Six new mooring dolphinswill be constructed with walkways between each andconnecting to the jetty head. A pontoon will be providedalongside one mooring dolphin.

The new jetty approach structure comprises of pilessupporting a pipe rack and walkway.

Drill and Vibropiling

The drill and vibropiling methodology will be as follows:

- Initially press the casing through the soft sedimentsuntil firm ground is encountered.

- Drill inside the casing and oscillate and tap thecasing through the firm ground/weathered slateuntil hard ground is encountered. This may requirelimited hammering, however; the majority will beachieved by oscillating the casing in.

- Either drill through hard ground to form a pilebore into which steel reinforcing is placed andconcreted or drill out and drive the casing as aboveto the required depth in the hard bedrock. This



of 24

may require some limited hammering, however;the majority of the depth will be achieved throughdrilling and oscillating the steel casing into thebedrock.

- All sediment/soil/rock within the casing will bedrilled out.

- All pile arisings will be deposited around sub-tidalpiles only except for within an exclusion zone 30maround MBH08 where potentially contaminatedarisings from sediment will be brought to thesurface and disposed of at an approved suitablelandfill site.

As a result, piles will be within a casing, either down intostrong rock, or down to weathered rock with a columndrilled below into strong rock to provide a rock socket.

The drilling of the piles which will support the jetty willrequire the removal of sediment. The maximum volume ofarisings will be 3,450 cubic metres, of which a maximumof 3,375 cubic metres will be side-cast immediately aroundthe subtidal pile locations only. The remaining materialis considered to be contaminated (30m radius aroundMBH08 between the depths of 3 and 5m) and will becollected and disposed of, or treated, on land.

Percussive Piling

Percussive piling methods may be used to install somepiles. Percussive piling will not take place during the coresensitive period for migratory fish of between 1 April and31 August each year inclusive and will take place onlyduring the hours of 0800 to 1800 inclusive. Soft-startprocedures will be used to ensure incremental increasein pile power over a set time period until full operationalpower is achieved. The soft-start duration must be a periodof not less than 5 minutes. Should piling cease for a periodgreater than 60 minutes, then the soft start procedure mustbe repeated.

Working above Water

The method of jetty construction will include the following:

- Lift and fix in place pre-cast concrete or steel pilecaps and crossbeams, jetty approach bridge units,platforms, jetty mooring and pipeline equipment andoffice facilities.

- Cast in-situ reinforced concrete deck, ducting andfixings for equipment and guardrails.



of 24

- Install cathodic protection system.- Fix linkspans and new pontoons in place.- Fix pipe rack to the approach deck. Install all pipes

and cables onto the rack. Weld pipe lengths at thejetty root and pull the welded pipeline along theapproach jetty length.

- Install all cabling and commission equipment.

Throughout the construction period piles and pre-fabricated structural elements will be transported from thecommercial wharf to site by barge, as required.

Construction Environmental Management Plan

All works will be conducted in accordance witha Construction Environmental Management Plan(CEMP). The CEMP will detail the implementation ofthe environmental impact avoidance, mitigation andenhancement measures as set out in the in theEnvironmental Statement and the relevant PlanningPermission and Marine Licence conditions. The contractorwill be required to comply with current UK industryguidance and best practice.

Programme of works Works will generally be undertaken during normal workinghours (Monday - Friday between the hours of 0800 to1800 and Saturdays 0800 to 1300). It may be necessaryto undertake some works outside these times due to tidalconstraints.

The construction period will run from January 2018 toDecember 2020.

Or

- Percussive piling must only be undertaken for a total of six hours per day during daylight hours.

Between 1 November and 31 December each year inclusive:

- Only one piling rig must be used;

Or

- Percussive piling must only be undertaken for a total of six hours per day during daylight hours. Multiple piling rigs canbe used during this period.

The six hour period begins at the point of the first impact and runs continuously, the striking of piles must cease eachday once this uninterrupted 6 hour period has elapsed. Any activities associated with the piling, excluding the striking ofpiles, such as mobilisation, demobilisation, handling and placement of piles, may continue to take place outside this 6hour period.

Reason:To reduce the risk of injury and disturbance to Smelt and other migratory fish species during the core sensitive periodof their migration.



of 24

5.2.24 In-situ monitoring of the noise levels produced by non-percussive piling methods (Vibro-piling, pile case oscillation andauguring/drilling) is to be undertaken for the first four piling events. This monitoring must be carried out as soon asreasonably possible, at the start of non-percussive piling and outside the core sensitive period of 1 April and 31 Augusteach year inclusive.

If noise levels exceed the predicted levels within the core sensitive period of 1 April and 31 August each year inclusive ofthe Subacoustech predictions as detailed in licence schedule 6, the MMO must be notified and non-percussive piling is notto be undertaken until written agreement is provided by the MMO, in consultation with Natural England, the EnvironmentAgency and Cefas.

Reason:This is to validate the Subacoustech predictions and to provide additional reassurance around the noise levels of theseactivities at this specific site to ensure the protection of migratory fish.
