Two (HS2) rail network between the West Midlands and Crewe (the Proposed Scheme). The working draft EIA Report sets out the current design of the Proposed Scheme, the likely environmental impacts (and, where possible, the potential likely significant environmental effects) of the construction and operation of the Proposed Scheme and proposed mitigation measures. The assessment will be updated for the formal EIA Report to reflect further work on the design, assessment and mitigation between now and when the hybrid Bill is deposited. The working draft EIA Report documentation comprises the following: Non-technical summary This provides a summary in non-technical language of: • the Proposed Scheme and reasonable alternatives considered; • the impacts of the Proposed Scheme (and where possible, the likely significant environmental effects), both beneficial and adverse; and • the proposed means of avoiding, reducing or managing the likely significant adverse effects. Volume 1: Introduction and methodology This provides: • a description of HS2, the EIA process and the approach to consultation and engagement; • details of the permanent features of the Proposed Scheme and generic construction techniques, based on the current level of design; • a summary of the scope and methodology for the environmental topics; and • a summary of the strategic, route-wide and route corridor alternatives to the scheme and local alternatives considered prior to November 2015. Volume 1 also comprises a glossary of terms and list of abbreviations and two appendices which are listed below. Volume 2: Community area reports and map books These cover the following community areas: 1 Fradley to Colton; 2 Colwich to Yarlet; 3 Stone and Swynnerton; 4 Whitmore Heath to Madeley; and 5 South Cheshire. The reports provide the following for each area: • an overview of the area; • a description of the construction and operation of the Proposed Scheme within the area, based on the current level of design; v Working draft EIA Report, Volume 2: CA2, Colwich to Yarlet • a summary of the local alternatives considered since November 2015; • a description of the environmental baseline; • a description of the environmental impacts of the Proposed Scheme (and where possible, the likely significant environmental effects), both beneficial and adverse; and • the proposed means of avoiding, reducing or managing the likely significant adverse effects. The maps relevant to the Colwich to Yarlet area are provided in a separate corresponding document entitled Volume 2, CA2 Map Book, which should be read in conjunction with this report. These maps include the location of the key environmental features (Map Series CT-10), key construction features (Map Series CT-05) and operation features (Map Series CT-06) of the Proposed Scheme.
