3 Cadzow Bing, Hamilton Environmental Statement NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY INTRODUCTION 1. Cruden Estates Ltd ( the Applicant ) is seeking to obtain detailed planning permission for the stabilisation and removal of the Cadzow Bing ( the Works ) in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. 2. The Site, which occupies an area of approximately 5.8 hectares, is located approximately 1.5km south of Hamilton town centre (refer to Figure 1). Access is available from the A723 Low Waters Road through Cadzow Industrial Estate. The Site is bound to the east, north and west by residential properties and to the south by Cadzow Industrial Estate (refer to Figure 2). The Site is currently occupied by a colliery spoil heap (a bing ) which was created through the deposition of waste materials from the former Cadzow Colliery between the late 1800s and the mid 1940s. 3. Stabilisation works are currently required at the Site because the steepest slopes of the bing have recently started to subside. This has resulted in trees falling into neighbouring residential gardens, thus posing obvious health and safety risks to residents. Prompt action is required to prevent further land slips. 4. The remaining stages of the Works would involve the sequential removal of the bing to create a cleared site sloping gently downwards to the north-east, suitable for future development. It is envisaged that the removed material would be used as fill material for other major development projects in the wider Glasgow area including, for example, the M74 extension. 5. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been undertaken by Waterman and an Environmental Statement (ES) has been prepared to accompany the planning application. The ES describes the likely environmental effects of the Works. It also describes a range of mitigation measures to be incorporated into the Works in order to avoid, reduce or offset negative impacts and enhance potential benefits wherever possible. 6. This Non-Technical Summary provides a summary of the ES, in non-technical language. EIA METHODOLOGY 7. The purpose of the EIA is to ensure that the potential environmental impacts of the Works, which may be positive or negative, are taken into account when considering the planning application. The EIA was undertaken using established methods and criteria and has involved site visits and surveys, data reviews, computer modelling and specialist assessments by a qualified, experienced team of consultants. 8. The first stage of the EIA process involved undertaking a scoping study to identify the key environmental issues to be covered by the EIA itself. The scope of the EIA was subsequently agreed with South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) and all relevant environmental bodies (including Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and Historic Scotland). The ES has subsequently focused on these key issues, and the following sections of this document summarise the findings. EXISTING LAND USE AND ACTIVITIES 9. Figure 3 illustrates the existing land uses on the Site and in the surrounding area. The Site currently comprises a colliery bing which rises to approximately 28m above the surrounding ground level. The bing is known to mainly comprise shale and blaes (burnt shale), coal, ash, clinker, mudstones, siltstones, sandstones, wood, metal and other detritus material which was gradually deposited from the Cadzow Colliery which was formerly located to the south of the Site.

4 Cadzow Bing, Hamilton Environmental Statement 10. Due to current instability of the eastern and western bing faces, a number of trees have recently fallen or are in danger of falling. This is considered to constitute a significant health and safety risk to neighbouring properties. Accordingly, the Site has been recently cleared of dense or tall vegetation. 11. In the northern section of the Site, at natural ground level, an open watercourse appears to originate from under the bing and flows from west to east. This watercourse exits the Site midway along the northern Site boundary and is routed, via culverts, to the Meikle Burn and eventually the Avon Water. Historical maps note that water flowed along the western section of the Site prior the creation of the bing. It is considered possible that the water originating from under the bing is the continued flow of this watercourse. 12. The presence of badgers on the Site has been confirmed. The main badger sett is situated in the south-western corner of the bing with a number of outlier setts located across the remainder of the Site, some of which appear to be utilised by foxes. Badgers are a nationally protected species and mitigation works to ensure their protection are to be carried out before, during and after the Works. To this end, an artificial main sett was created in January 2009 in a location close to the Site with another artificial sett to be created nearby in due course. Licences for the exclusion of badgers from all outlier setts within the Site and for the exclusion of badgers from the main sett are pending. Special working restrictions would apply around all setts during the Works. DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKS Site Access 13. Vehicle access to the Site would be provided through Cadzow Industrial Estate, which in turn would be accessed from the A723 Low Waters Road. Site Establishment and Preparation 14. A Site compound would be created in the south part of the Site, within the Cadzow Industrial Estate. The compound would include temporary cabin-style offices, welfare facilities and plant storage areas. Loading areas would be levelled off to create a stable platform for removal vehicles. All badger setts would be fenced off to prevent disturbance. Wheel-washing facilities would be installed to reduce the risk of mud being transferred onto the surrounding public roads. 15. In order to prevent the discharge of silt to the surrounding watercourses, a series of drainage ditches with straw bale filters would be located at the foot of the bing on the eastern, northern and western sides of the Site. These ditches, known as swales, would ensure that runoff would flow to a settlement pond located in the north-east of the Site, thus controlling flood risk and preventing excess silt entering local watercourses. Stabilisation Works 16. A series of site investigations and desk-based calculations has identified that areas of the bing are unstable, particularly the steepest slopes on the eastern and western edges of the bing. Most obviously, within the past 18 months, slope instability has caused trees to collapse into residential gardens adjacent to the bing on at least three occasions. It is considered that this constitutes a clear ongoing health and safety risk to local residents and visitors. Therefore, stabilisation works are proposed in order to reduce the risk of further slippages to negligible levels. 17. The stabilisation works would constitute the re-profiling of the bing by reducing the gradient of the steepest slope edges, as illustrated in Figure 4. A staged sequence of works would be undertaken to reduce the risk of slope slippages in the most vulnerable sections first, while avoiding any practices that could increase instability. 18. Excavated spoil materials would be removed from the Site rather than stockpiled on-site. Excavation would commence at the top of the bing, pulling the leading edge away in order to remove those areas currently at risk of slippage. This excavation would continue until a suitably safe gradient is achieved. Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Non Technical Summary 2

5 Cadzow Bing, Hamilton Environmental Statement 19. Once the stabilisation works are complete, the slopes of the re-profiled bing would be less steep and devoid of vegetation, but would continue to extend to heights of up to approximately 28m above the surrounding ground levels. Bing Removal Works 20. The removal works would be undertaken in five stages, as illustrated in Figures 5a to 5d. Stage 1 would proceed by hollowing out the centre of the bing, thus providing a barrier between surrounding residential properties and the main on-site activities. This barrier would screen the properties from the effects of plant noise and floodlighting and would also help to reduce the potentially adverse visual impacts of on-site activities. If necessary, an opening through the bing edge would be cut to allow controlled release of trapped water to the settlement pond. 21. As spoil material continues to be removed from the Site and the bing reduces in elevation, a new access route would be formed from the north-west of the Cadzow Industrial Estate to provide access to Site. This would be a suitably graded access ramp, surfaced with quarried stone or equivalent. 22. Stages 2, 3, and 4 of the bing removal process would comprise the continued excavation of the Site, using the new western access point. The hollowing out technique would continue, thus maintaining a physical barrier between the Works and the neighbouring properties. 23. Stage 5 would comprise the removal of bing material down to a ground level leaving a clear Site to be covered with topsoil. A green corridor of vegetation would be created with planting of native tree and shrub species along the southern and western boundaries of the Site. The remainder of the Site would be hydro-seeded to promote quick germination of grass species and inhibit soil erosion and dust creation. It is anticipated that the settlement pond in the north-east of the Site would remain in place and all Site perimeter fencing would be left secure. 24. Upon completion of the Works, the Site would constitute an area of open land, gently sloping upwards from the north-east to the south-west, with a steeper slope along the southern boundary with the Cadzow Industrial Estate (refer to Figure 6). The Site would be left as a suitable area for future development in line with the Council s adopted Development Plan. PROGRAMME OF WORKS 25. It is predicted that the stabilisation works, would take approximately four months to complete. The subsequent removal works would last for approximately 18 months. It is anticipated that the working hours for Works would be: 08:00 18:00 hours on weekdays; and 09:00 17:00 hours on weekends. ALTERNATIVES 26. In accordance with the EIA Regulations, the ES includes a discussion of the alternative development options considered by the Applicant. These options included no development, whereby the Site would be left in its current condition; alternatives to the proposed Site access arrangements; and alternative off-site uses for the excavated spoil material. No alternative locations were considered, as the proposed Works relate specifically to the Cadzow Bing Site. 27. If no bing removal works were to take place, the Site would remain dominated by the colliery spoil heap and the current risk to adjacent properties from slope instability would not be addressed. The Site has been identified in SLC s recently adopted Local Plan as suitable for future development. Removal of the bing would help to facilitate redevelopment of the Site. Furthermore, should the proposed Works not be undertaken, a substantial local source of fill material for nearby construction projects would remain untapped and the opportunity to provide employment opportunities during the Works would be lost. It is felt that these advantages outweigh the potential temporary sources of disruption that the Works might cause, such as occasional dust, noise and vibration impacts, as discussed in more detail below. Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Non Technical Summary 3

6 Cadzow Bing, Hamilton Environmental Statement 28. The proposed Site access route is through the Cadzow Industrial Estate, a non-residential area. Direct access is provided to the A723 Low Waters Road and, subsequently, the M74 motorway at Junction 6. Any other viable access to the Site would involve routing all Site vehicles through the residential areas located to the east, north and west of the Site, with resultant likely adverse environmental impacts to local residents. 29. It is proposed that the material removed from the Site would be utilised as fill material for the construction of the M74 extension in south Glasgow and, possibly, the proposed Dalmarnock bypass in south-west Glasgow. There are currently no other proposed construction projects of a suitable type and magnitude within close proximity of the Site known to the Applicant for which the excavated bing material would be suitable. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 30. Broad measures to eliminate, reduce or offset adverse environmental impacts would include the preparation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which would set out the methods of managing environmental issues for all parties involved with the Works, including supply chain management. 31. A requirement to comply with the EMP would be included as part of the contract conditions for each element of the Works. All tendering contractors would be required to demonstrate that their proposals would comply with the contents of the EMP. The preparation of EMPs is an established method of managing environmental impacts resulting from development projects such as the proposed Works. 32. At this stage it is envisaged that Waterman Group would compile the EMP in collaboration with the future contractor(s). The EMP would include a variety of necessary environmental controls, including for example: baseline levels for noise, vibration and dust and monitoring protocols; the setting of 'action levels' for noise, vibration and dust to warn of activities which may require particular care and control; spraying of areas with water supplied as and when conditions dictate; effective wheel/body washing facilities to be provided and used as necessary; a readily available road sweeper to be utilised whenever the need for road cleaning arises; a requirement for vehicles carrying waste material off-site to be sheeted; no fires be allowed on-site under any circumstances; and the details of proposed routes for heavy goods vehicles travelling to and from the Site; ECOLOGY 33. The Site is classified as a Site of Interest for Nature Classification (SINC) due to the habitat and flora composition prior to extensive tree felling in 2005 and early This felling removed almost all of the important habitat elements from the Site but it is understood that the SINC classification remains. Cadzow Bing is technically a semi-natural woodland area and can be considered a part of the wider Clyde Valley Forest Habitat Network although very little of the original woodland remains on the Site. The removal of the bing would remove most of the remaining woodland although it is proposed to create a green corridor of native species of trees and shrubs along the southern and western sides of the Site once the Works are completed. 34. Cadzow Bing is also a candidate Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), based on the potential presence of rare Helleborine orchids. However, their presence on-site has never been confirmed, Site conditions are not currently favourable for this plant and, therefore, the possibility of these orchids being present on the Site currently is very low. 35. A small area of marshy grassland exists in the north-west of the Site. However, this area of the Site is of no ecological importance and its loss during the Works would not be significant. Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Non Technical Summary 4

7 Cadzow Bing, Hamilton Environmental Statement 36. Japanese Knotweed is present on the Site. This plant can dominate large areas of land if left to grow unhindered and would reduce or eradicate all other vegetation on the Site. Its removal and safe disposal is planned as part of the Works. 37. Important fauna on the Site include pipestrelle bats, badgers and typical varieties of breeding birds. The woodland and scrub to be established on the southern and western boundaries of the Site would provide a source of foraging for bats and would also provide sufficient cover for some bird species to nest. Additionally, clusters of bat boxes of varied design placed around the Site would provide new opportunities for bats to roost. Badgers would benefit from measures such as habitat enhancement, replacement sett construction and the installation of badger-gates within fencing to allow free movement around the Site. LANDSCAPE AND VISUAL IMPACT 38. Cadzow Bing is located in a predominantly urban residential area. Cadzow Industrial Estate is located adjacent to the south of the Site and residential streets are located immediately to the west, north and east. The Site is dominated by the bing, a large mound of open ground with rough grassland and scrub. The north-west corner of the Site contains rough marshy ground. A strip of land approximately 40m wide along the northern edge of the Site remains as undulating scrub and grassland with some self seeded shrubs, such as bramble. 39. The Site has distant views to the west, north and east over the Clyde Valley. The bing is currently overbearing and out of character with surrounding areas which are partly urban townscape and sub-urban with a mix of building types. In general, the residential street pattern is a typical housing estate layout. The industrial estate comprises old and newer units which have developed in a piecemeal fashion. 40. An assessment of the potential landscape and visual impacts of the removal of the Cadzow Bing, including the proposed slope stabilisation works, concluded that there would be no adverse impacts to landscape character or to views of the Site. In general, residents and visitors in the vicinity of the Site, and particularly in the residential streets closest to the Site, would benefit from the removal of the bing as new views would be opened up, planted native species would replace the existing rough scrubland, and the appearance of the Site would be more in keeping with the prevailing landscape character of the area. GROUND CONDITIONS AND WATER RESOURCES 41. Reference to historic maps of the Site indicates that colliery spoil, arising from the former Cadzow Colliery, was deposited on the Site from between the late 1800s until the closure of the colliery in A small stream appears to have been present, emanating from either beneath the resultant bing, or immediately adjacent land to the west, since Other minor seepages are also noted later, appearing to emanate from the north-west and north of the bing as it increased in size. 42. To the south of the Site, Cadzow Colliery appears to have ceased production, been demolished and the land redeveloped by 1958, with Cadzow Industrial Estate emerging in a piecemeal fashion over the next few decades. The houses to the west of the Site also appear to have been constructed by 1958, with those to the north and east added in the 1960s. 43. The bing appears to be predominantly granular in nature and is relatively free draining, as indicated by the seepages and streams emanating from the north of the bing. Beneath the bing itself, the underlying geology has very low permeability. The Site is not within an indicative floodplain as defined by SEPA and is not considered to be at risk of flooding. 44. The potential for contamination of water resources as a result of contaminated materials being spread from the Site onto surrounding roads would be controlled through the use of wheelwashes and regular cleaning of vehicles where appropriate. It is considered that any existing contaminated materials within the bing would be highly unlikely to leach into surrounding surface waters or drainage systems as a result of the Works. Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Non Technical Summary 5

8 Cadzow Bing, Hamilton Environmental Statement 45. Exposure to contaminants within dust created by the Works would be controlled through standard working practices including the provision of suitable protective clothing and equipment, dust suppression through the use of water sprays and screening bunds, and the sheeting of loaded trucks leaving the Site. The risk of exposure to ground gas would be controlled through the use of normal confined-space working controls and safety protocols wherever necessary. 46. The removal of the bing materials from the Site would be beneficial in terms of the risks of contamination to flora and fauna. Clean growing substrates imported onto the Site following the completion of the Works would increase the potential for flora and fauna to become established. 47. Geotechnical risks at the Site include the potential for the bing materials to ignite, and for slopes to be unstable. Therefore, a suitable working methodology and/or emergency fire-fighting plan would be prepared to reduce the potential for spontaneous combustion of any high calorific bing material. Once the bing is removed, a suitable amount of clean, inert, low permeability growing medium would be put in place across the final Site surface, particularly over the remaining bing materials. This barrier against the atmosphere would reduce the risk of subterranean fires occurring within any remaining in-situ bing materials. In addition, the establishment of vegetation upon the growing medium would increase stability and reduce rates of weathering and erosion. The slopes along the southern boundary have been designed so that no instability risks would result on the Site. 48. Suitable temporary and permanent drainage infrastructure is proposed to minimise and control surface water runoff during the Works and after completion. Small ditches would be installed to collect and filter any surface water runoff before discharge to existing mains drainage systems via an attenuation pond and filters. These ditches would run north along the foot of the eastern and western slopes of the bing and then along the north of the Site to connect to a suitably sized pond in the north-eastern corner of the Site. This water would be treated, as necessary, before release to the mains drainage system via a flow control structure to reduce any risks of flooding. The existing ditch and stream, which emanate from the north-western corner of the bing, would remain following completion of the Works. TRANSPORTATION AND ACCESS 49. It is anticipated that excavated material would be transported via the A723 to the M74 at Junction 6. An uncontrolled increase in HGV movements through Hamilton town centre would have the potential to lead to minor disturbance to local residents from dust and debris, and possible delays along the route. It is expected that 12 to 15 HGVs would be required per hour for the stabilisation works and 12 to 20 HGVs per hour for the bing removal process. 50. The proposed haulage route is regularly used by HGVs at present and is therefore considered to be sufficient, in terms of layout, to support the additional temporary demand without causing significant traffic delays. Additionally, in order to ensure that HGV traffic from the Site causes minimal delays and disturbance at the Site entrance, a banksman would be employed to control vehicle movements into, within and from the Site. 51. Problems due to dust and debris would be unlikely to occur at distances greater than 50m from the road and are therefore likely to be limited in extent. HGVs would be covered on departure from the Site, to minimise dust dispersion and material falling from vehicles during transportation. In addition, during prolonged dry periods, dust suppression measures would be implemented onsite appropriate to the hazard, such as spraying or hosing of material prior to excavation and loading. A wheel washing facility would be installed at the exit / entry to the Site to reduce the risk of deposition of mud on the public highway. NOISE AND VIBRATION 52. Noise monitoring at various locations around the Site indicated that the dominant sources of noise are generally limited to traffic with occasional pedestrians, typical of the residential nature of the vicinity of the Site. Occasional HGV movements contribute to slightly higher noise levels at the Cadzow Industrial Estate, in the vicinity of the Oticon hearing-aid manufacturing plant. Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Non Technical Summary 6

9 Cadzow Bing, Hamilton Environmental Statement 53. Any noise impacts at nearby sensitive receptors as a result of the Works are predicted to be generally insignificant or negligible. In practice, best practical means would be used to ensure potential noise disturbance is kept to minimum. This could involve using low-noise plant where possible, ensuring maximum possible screening of operational plant and avoiding high noise operations during the evening period when people are generally more sensitive to noise disturbance. The nature of the bing removal Works could result in some occasional, temporary, unavoidable adverse noise impacts at properties in Avonbank Crescent. However, the EMP would stipulate various measures to ensure that noise impacts are kept to a reasonable minimum. 54. The only vibration sensitive location relevant to the Works is the Oticon plant. A trial was undertaken involving the use of trucks following the route that would be used during the Works to assess the potential impact of traffic vibration on production within the Oticon building. It was concluded that that any vibration impacts at the Oticon building due to HGVs passing during the Works would be insignificant. AIR QUALITY 55. Dust generation is an inevitable consequence of mineral workings. Dust created by the proposed Works would have the potential to cause nuisance to sensitive receptors, such as pedestrians and residential properties, within approximately 100m of the Site and the proposed HGV route through Hamilton. Any adverse impacts would be temporary, may vary during the construction period, and would depend on the contractor s methods of excavation. 56. Dust nuisance would be most likely to arise during the initial stabilisation works since the unstable spoil materials located at the boundaries of the Site overlook residential properties. The proposed sequence for the removal of the remainder of the bing would assist in minimising the potential for dust impact. Removal of materials from the centre of the bing outwards (refer to Figures 5a to 5d) would mean that most of the Works would be relatively remote from sensitive receptors and those receptors would be largely protected by the mounds formed at the Site boundaries. 57. A range of environmental management controls to limit the potential adverse impacts of dust generation would be included within the EMP. Particular attention would be paid to operations which must unavoidably take place close to the Site boundary. Typical examples of measures to be implemented include damping down surfaces during dry weather, limiting on-site vehicle speeds, sheeting of loaded vehicles leaving the Site, and providing a wheel wash facility for Site vehicles. The implementation of the range of measures to be included in the EMP would ensure that only the closest residential receptors to the Site would be likely to experience any adverse impacts form dust generation. However, these impacts would be temporary and small scale, and generally limited to the stabilisation works and Stage 5 of the removal works. 58. Emissions from HGV movements during the Works are predicted to have insignificant impacts on local air quality given the low level of generated Site traffic compared to existing flows on the local road network. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS 59. The combined impacts of different types of impacts, or impact interactions, from the proposed Works on particular receptors have been assessed (known as Type 1 Impacts). The criteria for identifying the receptors considered to be the most sensitive to any potential adverse environmental impacts of the Works include land use/activity, proximity to the Works and the extent of exposure to an impact or impact interactions. 60. The impacts considered within this assessment include dust generation, traffic congestion, noise and vibration. These are generally considered to constitute the greatest potential adverse impacts as a result of the Works. It is considered, however, that any interactions would be generally very minor and would be intermittent as activities on the Site progress. Meteorological conditions, for example prevailing wind direction (dust and noise) or rainfall (dust), would also influence the magnitude of impact interactions experienced by receptors in the vicinity of the Site.

It should be noted that the proposed EMP would provide a mechanism to minimise and monitor any impacts of the Works on nearby receptors and therefore would serve to reduce the potential for significant impact interactions to arise. 63. It was not necessary to assess the combined impacts of the Works with other presently or reasonably foreseeable schemes. Consultation with SLC confirmed that there are no other significant proposed developments in close proximity to the Site which would be relevant to such an assessment. AVAILABILITY OF THE ES 64.
