INTRODUCTION

This Application Site Report has been prepared for Clinitek (Malvern) LLP (hereafter referred to as ‘Clinitek’) in support of a Permit Application under The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2018 (as amended) for the continued operation of an energy recovery plant at their site in Hanley Castle, Worcestershire.

This document represents the Application Site Condition Report (ASCR) submitted as part of the Application package to the Environment Agency (EA) and has relied on information supplied by the site and various third party information sources (See Section 2).

The energy recovery plant (‘the Site’) is located at Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ (National Grid Reference: SO 82390 44190).

The facility is currently permitted as a Small Waste Incineration Plant (Permit Ref: 18/00004/A2) regulated by the Malvern Hills District Council. However, due to the need to process more than 10 tonnes per day of hazardous waste, an application for a Part A(1) permit is being made. There will be no increase in the overall tonnage accepted by the facility.

The facility is permitted to accept up to approximately 8,000 tonnes per annum1 of clinical / medical wastes comprising bagged yellow, orange and ‘tiger stripe’ waste and other offensive materials. The waste heat and energy produced as a by-product of the thermal treatment process will be recovered for export and use on site.

The proposed process meets the definition of an Installation as defined by Section 5.1 ‘Incineration and Co-Incineration of Waste’ paragraph A(1)(a) namely:

‘The incineration of hazardous waste in a waste incineration plant or waste co-incineration plant with a capacity exceeding 10 tonnes per day.’

This document has been prepared in accordance with the EA’s Guidance Document H5 Site Condition Reports Guidance and Templates (Version 2.0, dated 04/08/08). This report provides baseline information in relation to the site.

2. CONDITION AT PERMIT ISSUE

2.1 Environmental Setting The location of the subject Site is shown on Figure A1, Annex A, centered at approximate National Grid Reference OS X (Eastings) 382390; OS Y (Northings) 244190. The proposed site layout is shown in Figure A2.

The site is located at Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ.

The application site is located within a rural area approximately 1.4 km to the north east of the village of Hanley Swan and 2.8 km to the southeast of Great Malvern. The site is surrounded by agricultural land with Hangmans Lane and Broadacres Farm bounding the site to the south. Blackmore Campsite is located 1km to the west. A tributary of Pool Brook runs 100 m to the north of the site and the River Severn is located 2 km to the east.

The site is roughly rectangular in shape and covers an area of approximately 1.1 hectares. It currently comprises an existing disused hazardous waste incineration plant which is undergoing redevelopment by Clinitek for the operation of the clinical waste energy recovery plant. The site is laid to hardstanding centrally and around the incinerator building with the remainder comprising undeveloped vegetated land.

The nearest residential properties include Broadacres Farm approximately 20 m south and Sink Farm approximately 290 m to the east.

Table 2.1 below provides information regarding the surrounding site.

2.1.1 Geology, Hydrogeology and Surface Waters Desk-based research of the local geology, hydrogeology and surface waters has been carried out in order to establish the potential for migration of contamination onto or away from the Site, and to assess the surface water and groundwater sensitivity of the Site area. Information was obtained from a number of sources, namely:

• Environment Agency Flood Risk Map; • Information provided by Envirocheck Landmark Reports (Annex B). • Information outlined within the EAME Phase I and Phase II Report (Annex C); • Geological maps produced by the British Geological Survey (BGS) and the BGS Geology of Britain Viewer (http://maps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyviewer); • MAGIC (http://magic.defra.gov.uk); and • BGS Borehole Record Viewer (http://www.bgs.ac.uk/data/boreholescans/home.html).

Geology According to BGS Geological Mapping (Sheet 199 Worcester, 1:50,000, 1993) the site is predominantly devoid of superficial deposits with a small area of superficial deposits comprising Head Deposits located in the western area of the site. Head Deposits typically consist of sand and gravel with local lenses of silt, clay or peat. The BGS records the underlying bedrock as part of the Sidmouth Mudstone Formation. This is described in the BGS lexicon as ’dominantly mudstone and siltstone, red-brown with common grey-green patches and spots’.

SOL1909CL01 Page | 4

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

Additionally, during the 2018 ground investigation undertaken by EAME at the site, Made Ground was encountered overlying weathered bedrock across the site at a maximum thickness of 1.6mbGL.

According to data issued by the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) in 2002 (now the Health Protection Agency), the site is located in an area that is in a lower probability radon area, as less than 1% of homes are above the action level. No radon protection measures would be considered necessary for building construction at the site.

The site is not located in area that might be affected by coal mining.

Shrink Swell The maximum shrink swell hazard rating identified on the application site is very low.

Landslides The maximum landslide hazard rating identified on the application site is very low.

Soluble Rocks The maximum soluble rock hazard rating identified on the application site is negligible.

Compressible Ground The maximum compressible ground hazard rating identified on the application site is negligible.

Collapsible Rocks The maximum collapsible rocks hazard rating identified on the application site is very low.

Running Sands The maximum running sand hazard rating identified on the application site is very low.

Soil Chemistry The background soil chemistry at the site is estimated by the BGS National Geoscience Information Service as follows:

Table 2.2: Estimated Soil Chemistry Parameter Unit Concentration Arsenic mg/kg <15 Cadmium mg/kg <1.8 Chromium mg/kg 60 – 90 Lead mg/kg <100 Nickel mg/kg 15 - 30

SOL1909CL01 Page | 5

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

Hydrogeology The Environment Agency classifies the superficial deposits underlying a small area in the western part of site as a Secondary (undifferentiated) aquifer and the bedrock geology as a Secondary ‘B’ Aquifer.

The site is not located within a Source Protection Zone (SPZ).

The groundwater vulnerability at the site is classified as non-aquifer (negligibly permeable) with soils of high leaching potential.

The site is not located within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ).

There are no active potable groundwater abstraction licenses within 2 km of the site. There is one active abstraction within 1 km of the site. This is located 312 m to the south and is as follows: • Broadacres Farm (license number 18/54/08/0366), from a single point abstracting water from the aquifer within the bedrock for both general farming and domestic purposes. This license is operated by Mr R T B Harcombe and was issued 16th November 1967.

The site is considered to be situated in an area of moderate sensitivity with respect to groundwater resources, due to its proximity to the groundwater abstraction utilised by Broadacres Farm.

Surface Water The nearest surface water feature is the unnamed stream running west – east approximately 110m to the north of the site. This stream is a tributary of Pool Brook which was classified by the EA in 2016 as having ‘poor’ ecological status, ‘good’ chemical status and overall ‘poor’ water body status.

Pool Brook eventually joins the River Severn which is located approximately 2.7 km east of the site at its closest point. Two small ponds are located 150 m east and 130 m southwest respectively.

There are three identified active surface water abstraction recorded within 2 km of the site. These are as follows: • Worcestershire County Council (license number 18/54/08/0094), from a single point source, located within the unnamed stream 140 m northwest of the site. This is associated with the former Hanley Swan Incinerator for the purposes of ‘Refuse and Recycling: Non-evaporative Cooling’. No information is provided on volumes. The license was issued in January 1999. • S & S Watkins (license number 18/54/08/0494) from a river or stream reach at Sheepscote Farm located 1.6 km northeast of the site. This abstraction is for the purposes of general agriculture – direct spray irrigation and was issued in January 1998. No information is provided in volumes. • N E Revill & Son (license number 18/54/08/0497) from a single point source located 1.9km east of the site at Sheepscote Lane, Sandford for the purposes of general agriculture – direct spray

SOL1909CL01 Page | 6

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

irrigation. No information is provided on volumes. The license was originally issued in October 1991 and updated in June 2004.

The site is not located within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ).

The Environment Agency’s flood risk map indicates that the site lies within Flood Zone 1; an area where there is a low risk of flooding from rivers and the sea. This is land assessed as having a chance of flooding of less than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) each year. However, small areas of the site along the eastern and southern boundaries are shown to be at risk of surface water flooding at a risk of 0.1 % annual change of occurrence.

The site is considered to be in area of low to moderate sensitivity in regard to surface water due to the proximity of the unnamed stream to the north.

2.1.2 Designated Sites Environment Agency H1 and H5 guidance states that the potential impacts of the site should be assessed for the following habitat sites within 10km of the Installation: • Special Areas of Conservations (SACs) and candidate SACs (cSACs) designated under the EC Habitats Directive; • Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and potential SPAs designated under the EC Birds Directive; and • Ramsar Sites designated under the Convention of Wetlands of International Importance.

It is also stated that within 2km of the Source: • Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) established by the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act; • National Nature Reserves (NNR); • Local Nature Reserves (LNR); • Local Wildlife Sites (LWS), County Wildlife Sites (CWS) and potential wildlife sites (PWS); • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC); and • Ancient Woodland.

Information from the Multi Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside (MAGIC) website (http://magic.defra.gov.uk/) has been used to obtain the above information.

The designated sites relevant to this study are presented in Table 2.3 below:

Distance & Direction Receptor Status 896 m southeast Days Coppice Ancient Woodland Area of Outstanding natural 3.5 km west Malvern Hills Beauty (AONB)

The site is not located within an Air Quality Management Area.

The proposed operation has minimal environmental emissions to land, controlled waters or atmosphere and therefore it is the conclusion of this assessment that there will be no direct or indirect effects on any of the statutory sites described above.

2.2 Pollution History

2.2.1 Environmental Database Records The following information has been obtained from a search of a publicly available database of environmental information (Envirocheck Landmark Report, provided by EAME in Annex B).

The database contains records of information from public registers held by environmental regulatory authorities and can be used to assess the site’s sensitivity, the potential for neighbouring activities to pose a risk to the site and to determine whether specific records of pollution relate to the subject site.

Authorised or Permitted Processes There is one revoked IPC Authorised Activity associated with the site. This is licensed to Beacon Waste Ltd (Permit reference: AG9639) at the Hanley Swan Incinerator dated 31st August 1993 for a ‘Section 5.1 A(A) incineration in the waste disposal industry’ activity. There is also one active Schedule 13A SWIP permit associated with the site (permit reference: 19/00001/A2) licensed to Clinitek (Malvern) LLP and which will be superceded by this environmental permit. To date, no incineration activities have been undertaken by Clinitek as the site is undergoing redevelopment.

There are no records of Part A(1), Part A(2) and Part B Activities within 1 km of the site.

Enforcement and Prohibition Notices There are two recorded Environment Agency enforcement notices associated with the former Hanley Swan Incinerator onsite. These are as follows: • 1st November 1994: Press release HM086 for smoke and smell from chimneys (under EPA90) • 1st March 1994: Release of black smoke during start up (under EPA90).

In addition, there is are two prosecutions relating to the illegal dumping of industrial waste on 18th June 2010 at Woodbridge Farm, Guarlford located 794 m northwest of the site.

2.2.2 Historical Land Uses Available historic maps for the site have been reviewed to determine if there is the potential for contamination to be present on Site associated with the Sites historical uses.

A summary of the historical development of the Site and surroundings is included below:

• 1884 - 1887: The site is predominantly undeveloped agricultural land within a tree lined field. A small copse with minor farm buildings is present in the southwest corner of the site. A footpath runs north-south through the western half of the site.

The surrounding area is predominantly farmland with numerous copses. A road (Hangmans Lane) runs east-west along the southern boundary of the site. A stream runs west-east

SOL1909CL01 Page | 10

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

approximately 100 m to the north of the site. A number of farms are present in the surrounding area with Hills Farm adjacent to the south, Sink Farm to the east, Honey Pots Farm to the north and Blackmore End Farm to the west. A pit is present approximately 70m to the south.

• 1904 - 1938: The trees and copses present within the southwestern corner of the site and to the south of Hangmans Lane are no longer present.

• 1938 - 1955: A small rectangular building is present along the sites southern boundary.

The pit to the south is no longer present. A ‘Milk Factory’ is labelled associated with Hills Farm which has expanded slightly with the addition of farm buildings. A development of rectangular buildings has been constructed to the northwest associated with Blackmore Grange.

• 1971 – 1994: The small building along the southern boundary and one in the southwestern corner are no longer present.

A sewage treatment works including labelled ‘Filter Beds’ has been constructed within 50 m to the north of the site. Hill Farm to the south has been renamed Broadacres Farm and a number of ponds are now present to the southeast. A pond is also now present approximately 60m to the west and another approximately 70m to the east.

• 1996 - 2018: An industrial building (the incinerator) has been constructed in the centre of the site, with associated hardstanding surrounding it.

Broadacres Farm has continued to expand.

A number of potentially contaminative land uses have been identified both on and around the site. These specifically include the below:

Table 2.7: Potentially Contaminative Land Uses

2.2.3 Site Reconnaissance Visual/Olfactory Evidence of Existing Contamination All areas of the site have been subject to a visual inspection at the time of this application by Sol Environment Ltd. This was undertaken in April 2018 prior to any redevelopment of the site.

All aspects of the installation boundary have been inspected.

The site comprised of the former waste incinerator building and surrounding hardstanding within the centre of undeveloped land. The sites boundaries were lined with mature trees along all aspects and access to the site was possible through the public footpath. It is understood that the footpath has since been re-routed along the sites western boundary.

A number of caravans were utilising the sites entrance at the time of inspection.

The incinerator building was observed to be in a dilapidated state. Two concrete lined pits at the eastern end of the main building were observed to be partially filled with water at the time of the inspection. An above ground metal tank was present at the northern side of the building and was not located in place on its concrete plinth. The tank was empty and there was no evidence of staining in the surrounding ground or near the plinth.

No asbestos related materials were observed during the site walkover, though their presence cannot be discounted due to the age of the incinerator building.

Apart from the above, at the time of the site walkover, there was no sign of any potentially contaminative uses.

2.3 Evidence of Historic Contamination

2.3.1 Previous Site Investigations

Ground Investigation Specialists Limited, August 2008 A desk based study and preliminary geoinvestigation was carried out by Ground Investigation Specialists Limited on behalf of Boughton Butler LLP in August 2008. This report is summarised in the EAME Phase I Report undertaken in May 2018 and provided in Annex C of this document. A short summary is outlined below.

The report was undertaken in order to support the proposed demolition of the incinerator and construction of a sustainable housing community. The works comprised the drilling of 7 window sample boreholes across the site and included one offsite borehole located adjacent to the redundant water treatment plant. Groundwater and gas monitoring wells were installed in six of the boreholes. Soil samples were sent for a suite of analysis comprising the main contaminants of concern.

SOL1909CL01 Page | 12

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

Made Ground comprising hardcore was found underlying asphalt at locations around the incinerator building at depths of up to 2 mbGL. The bedrock at the site was found to be at shallow depths across site in weathered from (red-brown clay and mudstone) directly underlying Made Ground or Topsoil. No superficial deposits were encountered.

Groundwater was present in three boreholes during the investigation and subsequently found in all six boreholes at levels of between 1.42 – 3.34 mBGL during monitoring rounds. Four groundwater samples were analysed for contaminants.

No gross contamination was identified across the site. Localised slightly elevated levels of hydrocarbons and SVOCs were identified within shallow Made Ground within the vicinity of the incinerator. Groundwater was identified to have elevated levels of benzo(a)pyrene, hydrocarbons and COD.

Earth & Marine Environmental Ltd (EAME), May 2018 A Phase I and Phase II Environmental Assessment was undertaken by EAME on behalf of assetGEN Partners in May 2018. The assessment involved both desk based research and intrusive ground investigation and is provided in Annex C of this document.

The report was undertaken in order to understand any environmental liabilities in regard to the acquisition of the site for the proposed refurbishment of the clinical waste incinerator.

A targeted ground investigation was undertaken in April 2018. The combined programme of works comprised: • The sinking of 8 boreholes by window sampling methods (WS01 – WS08) to a maximum depth of 4mbGL; • The logging, sampling and on-site screening of soil samples for VOCs at regular intervals using a photo-ionization detector (PID); and • The subsampling of borehole recovery for soil contamination testing.

The suite of chemical analysis was based upon the potential contaminants of concern (CoCs) and soil samples were tested for metals (As, B, Be, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Se, Vn and Zn), TPH, PAHs, cyanide, phenols, VOCs, BTEX, MTBE, organic matter, asbestos and pH. One composite sample was submitted for WAC Acceptance Criteria testing.

As no groundwater was encountered during the ground investigation, no groundwater samples were submitted to a laboratory for analysis.

Please refer to the report provided in Annex C of this report for detailed results of the fieldwork investigation. A brief summary of the baseline conditions at the site is provided below.

SOL1909CL01 Page | 13

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

Ground Conditions Made Ground comprising redeposited natural materials from the construction of the incineration building was present across the site to depths of 1.6 mBGL. Visual evidence of contamination was present within one borehole in the form of a thin (0.2 m thick) band of ash.

The Made Ground was identified as directly overlaying the bedrock of the mudstone, encountered generally as firm reddish brown silty clay, becoming stiffer with depth. Thickness was not proven but a maximum depth of 4 mbGL was reached.

Headspace testing of soils at the site identified a peak reading of 1.2 ppm which does not indicate the preens of significant VOCs within the soil.

Groundwater Groundwater was not identified within any of the boreholes during the ground investigation.

Soil Chemical Analysis Results A Tier I Human Health Soil Risk Assessment based on commercial end use of the site did not identify any gross contamination within the soils across the site. Asbestos was not identified in any of the samples analysed across the site.

Baseline levels of contaminants at site are summarised within the table below. For further data please refer to the full ground investigation report provided in Annex C.

3. PERMITTED ACTIVITIES

3.1 Proposed Activities Undertaken at the Installation

3.1.1 Description of the New Process Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Limited (the ‘Applicant’ or Operator’) is making an application for a New Bespoke Installation Permit Application for the proposed operation of an Energy Recovery Plant at their site on Hangmans Lane, Worcester.

The facility is currently permitted as a Small Waste Incineration Plant (Permit Ref: 19/00001/A2) regulated by the Malvern Hills District Council. However, due to the need to process more than 10 tonnes per day of hazardous waste, an application for a Part A(1) permit is being made. There will be no increase in the overall tonnage accepted by the facility.

The majority of the information provided within this application is already permitted under the sites existing SWIP permit. However, since issuance of the SWIP there has been a change in technology provider.

The facility is permitted to accept up to approximately 8,000 tonnes per annum2 of clinical / medical wastes comprising bagged yellow, orange and ‘tiger stripe’ waste and other offensive materials. The waste heat and energy produced as a by-product of the thermal treatment process will be recovered for export and use on site.

The proposed process meets the definition of an Installation as defined by Section 5.1 ‘Incineration and Co-Incineration of Waste’ paragraph A(1)(a) namely:

‘The incineration of hazardous waste in a waste incineration plant or waste co-incineration plant with a capacity exceeding 10 tonnes per day.’

The treatment process will be permitted by the Environment Agency as a Waste Incineration Activity and will be operated in accordance with the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 (as amended) and Chapter IV of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).

Bicarbonate Pollution Control System All APC residue will be transferred off site and reprocessed. Activated Internal bunded silo Used within the Air Discharged from bag filter. Carbon Pollution Control System All APC residue will be transferred off site and reprocessed. Urea Internal bunded silo Used within the Air Reacts with flue gas and Pollution Control System discharged to atmosphere

3.1.3 Waste The facility will have the following waste streams: • Bottom Ash – from the combustion chamber; and • Air Pollution Control (APC) residue – spent sorbent from the filter unit.

Bottom ash from the combustion process along with any inert material will fall onto a grate conveyor which allows the ash and inert material to collect into a quench tank situated under the incinerator below floor level. Quenched bottom ash is then transported by a drag-link conveyor into an outside collection skip for transfer off site.

Air Pollution Control (APC) Residue will collect on the filter surface and will be subject to periodic automatic reverse jet cleaning based on the pressure differential across the filter element. APC Residue removed from the filters during cleaning will collect in a hopper beneath the filter array where it will be removed by a series of screw conveyors and pass through a rotary valve into an intermediate bulk container (FIBC) bag for collection and transfer off site.

Upon commissioning, detailed sampling of all wastes produced by the plant will be carried out in order to establish the physical and chemical characteristics and polluting potential of the waste streams from the plant, prior to determining the routes for disposal or recycling of those residues.

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

Once operational, recycling routes will be investigated for all waste streams. All possible recycling routes will be explored to avoid the use of disposal via landfill.

The table below outlines expected annual quantities of product / waste produced by the installation.

3.1.4 Drainage Systems There will be no direct process emissions to controlled water arising from the Installation.

All external [clean] surface water runoff drains to an attenuation tank prior to discharge off site.

The unloading of delivery vehicles and storage of waste will take place externally upon a kerbed area of sealed hardstanding. In the event of a spillage, this area can be isolated via a valve resulting in the spillage being contained within the kerbed area. In the unlikely event of a fire, the firewater will be contained within the kerbed area and pumped into a tanker for off site for disposal.

There will be effluent produced from the incineration system, namely blowdown from the boiler, effluent from the ash quench tanks and run off from the bin wash area. This will be collected within an underground holding tank and periodically removed offsite via tanker for disposal.

The welfare facilities will generate small foul flow volumes which will also be collected in the holding tank and transferred offsite via tanker.

Hardstanding The site is located entirely on good quality concrete hardstanding.

Tanks and Bunds All storage tanks will be appropriately installed with secondary containment and designed to comply with the Environment Protection Pollution Prevention Guideline Above Ground Oil Storage Tanks: PPG 2.

3.1.5 Potential for Fugitive Releases to Soil, Groundwater and Surface Water The materials and substances used in the new activity are not considered to have significant potential to cause ground or groundwater contamination under general storage or operating procedures.

The following measures have been incorporated into the design of the new activity to protect groundwater and soil from installation substances; • All processing and waste storage operations take place internally; • Wastes are delivered and handled double bagged and within sealed lockable rigid containers at all times onsite; • Emergency Spill kits will be provided throughout the site and strategically placed in locations; • All aspects of the facility will be located on impermeable concrete slabs; • There will be no subsurface infrastructure used for the storage or transfer of hazardous waste; and • All drainage is captured within holding tanks prior to removal offsite.

When constructed and operated in the manner described above the proposed operations will not introduce any sub surface or potentially polluting activities to the site.

Due to the protection measures mentioned above, the risk to soil and groundwater from the development is considered to be LOW as summarised in the Conceptual Site Model below. In the unlikely event that any of the above measures fail, due to all activities being carried out internally on impermeable hard standing, there would be no impact to soil, groundwater and surface water.

In addition, cohesive nature of the geology including less permeable silts, clays and mudstones should minimise contaminant migration to deep groundwater. WAC testing has additionally identified low leaching potential of soils. Surface Water Yes – Areas of soft Low – Hardstanding covers landscaping are present the areas of site identified in the wider site area to have localised allowing dissolution of contamination and areas of contaminants into site with soft landscaping surface water run-off have low contamination potential.

Site drainage has the ability to be isolated in the event of any spillages / need to fire water containment. Surface Water Yes – due to the proximity Low of the unnamed stream to the north of the site. However internal operations will prevent infiltration of rainwater into wastes and prevent creation of leachate.

In addition, the site will operate a comprehensive maintenance and management system which is described in Section 2 of the main application document. The environmental management system will be designed to meet the requirements of the Environmental Permitting Regulations and associated pollution prevention guidance.

The management system includes visual inspections of:

SOL1909CL01 Page | 20

Clinitek (Malvern) LLP Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant

• All storage areas, processing areas and hard standing will be physically inspected to detect any signs of deterioration, leaks or spillage. Any corrective action required is reported to and implemented by the Site Manager; and • Equipment in all process areas as part of the company’s planned/predictive maintenance programme.

Based on this assessment, the potential for the new activity to impact on soil and groundwater underlying the installation is considered to be low.

Introduction

The Environment Act 1995 has made site sensitivity a key issue, as the legislation pays as much attention to the pathways by which contamination could spread, and to the vulnerable targets of contamination, as it does the potential sources of contamination. For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In the attached datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

Executive Summary

Earth & Marine Environmental Consultants Ltd (“EAME”) were instructed by Sol Environment Ltd on behalf of their client assetGEN Partners Ltd (the “Client”) to undertake a combined Phase I and Phase II Environmental Assessment of the Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ (the “Site”). It is understood that the Client wishes to acquire the Site and would like to understand any potential environmental liabilities. The report is required in relation to the proposed refurbishment and update of the Site as a clinical waste incinerator.

The Site is currently a disused clinical waste incinerator that was originally constructed in 1970/71 by a partnership of two local councils. Following completion, it was in use as an incinerator for the disposal of clinical waste until early 1995 when it was closed. The building features a 3-metre-deep basement and an adjacent waste receiving pit. The excavated material from these structures was placed around the site to form a low screening bund of ‘natural material’.

The site investigation did not identify any potential on-site (in ground) sources of contamination. No exceedances of any of the stated soil screening values (Commercial end- use) were found. A composite soil sample (WS01/02 0.4-0.7m) was assessed for waste disposal purposes (landfill waste acceptance). The materials has been classified as inert. It is concluded that the Site is suitable for continued commercial use without remediation.

It is recommended that a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey of all buildings is undertaken and (where required) all ACMs are removed prior to redevelopment.

It is important to remember that these conclusions only remain valid if the current proposals are implemented. Any changes to the proposed scope of works would invalidate the presented risk assessment.

These issues are discussed in more detail in the remainder of this report.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background

1.2 Scope of Works

For there to be a significant contamination risk requiring further investigation; a source, pathway and receptor must all be present. To assess whether this is the case, background research is required to obtain relevant information about the Site and surroundings and to assess the findings qualitatively. The scope of the assessment examined whether there is the potential for current and historic soil and/or groundwater contamination to be present, both at and near the Site, and its significance in terms of the potential to pose a risk to human health, controlled waters, building infrastructure, the wider environment and any associated potential liabilities.

The scope of the Phase I Environmental Assessment includes:

▪ a Site walkover by an experienced environmental consultant to identify areas of potential environmental concern;

▪ review of available historical maps to determine the land use history in the context of potentially contaminative activities;

▪ a review of environmental data relating to the Site and its surroundings using a proprietary third party environmental database;

▪ desk based assessment of Site geology, hydrogeology and hydrology from published mapping and web-based sources to determine the Site’s environmental setting and sensitivity; and

018-1611 REV01 May 2018 Page 2 of 63

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

▪ a web-based search of the Environment Agency (EA) website and other freely available sources of information to identify any potential issues relating to the Site and surrounding areas.

After the Phase I Environmental Assessment, a targeted Phase II intrusive investigation was undertaken. The scope of this assessment included:

▪ a non-intrusive utility search for the presence of Site services was carried out by obtaining service utility plans and the undertaking of a survey of the Site by an EAME approved service tracing specialist (Subsight Surveys Limited);

▪ the drilling of eight (8) window sample locations to a maximum depth of 4.0 metres below ground level (bgl) by an EAME approved sub-contractor (Cook Ground Investigation Ltd);

▪ the logging, sampling and on-site screening of soil samples for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at regular intervals throughout the soil profile using a Photo Ionisation Detector (PID);

▪ submission of selected soil samples and groundwater samples to a UKAS and MCERTS accredited independent laboratory (i2 Analytical Ltd) for the analysis of a range of contaminants, which are likely to be associated with the former/current activities and ground conditions on the Site; and

▪ conclusions and recommendations based on the outcome of the findings of the Phase I and Phase II together with and a qualitative contaminated land risk assessment based on Source-Pathway-Receptor as per CLR11 (Environment Agency, 2004).

2.4 Prevailing On-site Environmental Conditions

2.4.1 Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)

During the Site inspection, no evidence of current or historic USTs (i.e. fill points, unexplained manhole covers, vent pipes, etc.) were observed. The incinerator building includes two below ground features:

▪ Two concrete lined tanks (pits) – These are located at the eastern end of the main building within which the incoming clinical waste was tipped prior to incineration. The available plan1 state that the tanks are 3.3 metres deep from the finish floor level (FFL) of 26.0 metres. The tanks were observed to be partially filled with water.

▪ Basement – A basement extends across the remaining building area up to the edge of the skip and bucket handling area. The FFL is the same as the pits. The basement was observed to be partially filled with water.

2.4.2 Above Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs)

During the Site inspection, a single (empty) AST and concrete plinth were observed on the Site (Photograph 2-5).

Photograph 2-5: AST plinth and tank located on the northern side of the building

No evidence of staining was observed around either the plinth or the AST.

2.4.3 Other Material Storage

No (potentially environmentally hazardous) drums and/or Integrated Bulk Containers (IBCs) were observed on the Site.

2.4.4 Air Emissions

No active point source emissions were observed on-site.

2.4.5 Environmental Permitted Activities

No current (operational) activities, that could potentially require an environmental permit, were observed on-site.

2.4.6 Drainage and Wastewater

No formal drainage plan has been provided by the current Site owner.

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

The hardstanding around the edge of the southern side of the building feature a series of drain covers and containment kerbs. A drainage pit and control box were observed on the western side of the building (Photograph 2-6).

Photograph 2-6: Drainage pit and control box located on the northern side of the building

A Flood Risk Assessment associated with a previous planning application (Ref. 12-00466-FUL, Revised February 2012) states that “the existing and hard standing areas are believed to discharge unrestricted to Pool Brook”.

The planning statement, associated with application 12-00466-FUL, states that “there is an easement connecting the site to the water treatment plant (isolated in a field northwest of the site) and a pumping station on the Mere Brook which supplied water to the site (for cooling) and the dairy unit when this was operated by previous owners of the land” (Figure 2-4).

According to the available reports3, the former water treatment plant was associated with the incinerator site. The site consists of two large above ground concrete tanks linked by drainage structures to an underground tank and above ground enclosure. In addition to the water treatment plant, there is also a standalone pump house and discharge consent point both located on the banks of the brook.

2.4.7 Water Abstraction

With respect to water supply, it is anticipated that this is supplied from the municipal mains although this could not be confirmed. EAME did not visually identify any on-site abstraction boreholes or wells, and none were noted in the information reviewed.

2.4.8 Refrigerant Gases

The most harmful ozone-depleting substances (e.g. CFCs like R12) were banned in the 1990s. New equipment using less harmful HCFC refrigerants like R22 was banned in 2001 (or 2004 for small air-conditioning systems). From the end of 2009, the use of virgin HCFCs to service and maintain existing refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment (RAC) was banned in all EU Member States. Since 1st January 2010 it has been illegal to use virgin HCFCs to service RAC equipment and from 1st January 2015 it was illegal to use any HCFCs to service RAC equipment i.e. recycled or reclaimed HCFC may no longer be used.

No suspected CFC or HCFC containing equipment was observed on-site.

2.4.9 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

Any capacitor or transformer manufactured before 1976 may contain PCBs unless information is held to the contrary. It is also possible that there may be PCBs present in capacitors and transformers manufactured between 1976 and 1986. Even if the PCBs have been replaced by another liquid, significant amounts of PCBs may still be present. PCBs may occur as contaminants in the oil used in oil-filled electrical equipment. Hydraulic fluids in lifts, hoists, heavy machinery from the same era are also known to contain PCBs.

No suspected PCB containing equipment was observed on-site.

2.4.10 Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs)

ACMs can be found in many parts of a building as:

▪ Sprayed asbestos – Fire protection in ducts and to structural steel work, fire breaks in ceiling voids etc.

▪ Lagging – Thermal insulation of pipes and boilers.

▪ Asbestos insulating boards (AIB) – Fire protection, thermal insulation, wall partitions, ducts, soffits, ceiling and wall panels.

▪ Asbestos cement products, flat or corrugated sheets – Roofing and wall cladding, gutters, rainwater pipes, water tanks.

▪ Certain textured coatings –Decorative plasters, paints.

▪ Bitumen or vinyl materials – Roofing felt, floor and ceiling tiles.

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) any buildings built or refurbished before the year 2000 may contain asbestos. The Asbestos (Prohibitions) (Amendment) Regulations 1999 prohibited the import, supply and use of all asbestos containing products (except for minor exclusions).

A publicly available document4 states that “the Hanley Swan Incinerator was constructed in 1970/71 by a partnership of two local councils. Following completion, it was in use as an incinerator for the disposal of waste until early 1995 when it was closed. There is no indication that there has been any use of the building since 1995 other than some occasional use of parts of the building by the fire service for training purposes. This use has not resulted in any impediment to or removal of the incineration apparatus which appears to remain complete within the building”.

The presence of ACMs within parts of the structure and incineration equipment cannot be discounted at this stage.

2.4.11 Invasive Non-native Plant Species

Common invasive non-native plants, listed within Schedule 9 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, include such species as Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) and Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica).

The National Biological Network (National Biodiversity Network, n.d.) has not recorded Giant Hogweed with 1-km of the Site, Himalayan Balsam has been recorded within the 2-km mapping square within which the site is located and Japanese Knotweed has been recorded within adjacent 2-km mapping squares. None of the species has been recorded on-site.

It is important to note that these observations do not constitute a full ecological or invasive plant survey.

2.4.12 Evidence of Uncontrolled Releases to Ground

No releases to unsurfaced ground or staining of hard standing areas were observed during the inspection.

2.4.13 Evidence of Previous Intrusive Investigations

A previous geoinvestigation was undertaken at the site by Ground Investigation Specialists Limited in August 2008. A single borehole cover (BH2) was observed adjacent to the site weighbridge.

2.5 Previous Works

A previous desk study and preliminary geoinvestigation was undertaken at the site by Ground Investigation Specialists Limited, on behalf of Boughton Butler LLP, in August 2008 (Report Reference. 862).

The works were undertaken in relation to the proposed demolition of the existing incinerator and the construction of a sustainable housing community. The Site works were undertaken on 17th July 2008 during which seven (7) window samples were excavated using a tracked percussive window sample rig. It is important to note that one location (BH7) was drilled off- site (adjacent to the redundant wastewater treatment plant).

The investigation found asphalt over a variable depth of hardcore (0.6 – 2.0 metres) around the incinerator building overlying red-brown clay and mudstone. Land to the north, east and west of the incinerator tended to comprise topsoil and variable thicknesses of disturbed clay (0.4 – 2.0 metres) overlying red-brown clay and mudstone.

Groundwater was observed in three of the exploratory locations and water/gas installations were included in six of locations (BH1, BH2, BH3, BH4, BH5 and BH7). After the intrusive works groundwater was measured in all the boreholes between 1.42 metres and 3.34 metres below ground level. Four groundwater samples were collected for analysis.

The results of the 2008 investigation were:

▪ No metals or Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were above any of the residential screening values utilised.

▪ Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) were not above method detection limits.

▪ Shallow Made Ground near the incinerator (WS1/WS2) indicated the presence of heavier hydrocarbons (>C12).

▪ Shallow Made Ground near the incinerator building indicated the presence of certain SVOCs i.e. bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (WS1, WS2 and WS3) and carbazole (WS2).

▪ Groundwater samples indicated the presence of elevated benzo(a)pyrene (BH1/BH2), aromatic >EC21-EC35 hydrocarbons (BH3 and BH7) and COD (BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH7).

▪ Two gas monitoring visits concluded that simple gas protection membranes may be required for any new residential buildings.

The Malvern Hills District Council planning portal also indicates that the Site is under a confirmed Tree Preservation Order (TPO) (Reference number 641 - 2009).

2.7.2 Local Authority Environmental Health Department

Records and information held by Local Authority has been obtained from the Environmental Database Ref. 159898521_1_1 (Annex B).

EAME also contacted Worcester Council’s Environmental Department with reference to any potential contamination issues associated with the Site. The department provided the following information on 20th April 2018:

018-1611 REV01 May 2018 Page 21 of 63

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

▪ The Site appears on Council’s list of potentially contaminated sites which may require further investigation under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act. No prioritisation of potential sites of concern has been undertaken since Worcestershire Regulatory Services (WRS) was formed and those sites within the Council District area were combined with those of four other District areas. No timescale can be provided as to when the sites may be considered further. Currently no proactive work is being carried out under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. It is highly unlikely that the Site will be investigated within 5 years or more. There are not currently any plans to investigate the Site further.

▪ The Site appears on Council’s list of potentially contaminated sites which may require further investigation under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act. This is due to the following potentially contaminative use of the site and adjacent sites 14/01039/EH (Former Incinerator Plant - Residential Development), MH/S157100010511 (Sewage) and MH/S561100071171 (Unknown Filled Ground (Pond, Marsh, River, Stream, dock etc.).

▪ WRS hold no record of any landfill areas within 250m of the above subject Site.

▪ There are no permits currently issued for the Site.

2.7.3 Petroleum Enforcement Authority

EAME has contacted Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Services about any records they may hold regarding the Site. No evidence of on-site underground storage of fuel was noted, therefore, licensing of the Site by the Petroleum Enforcement Authority (PEA) is considered highly unlikely.

2.7.4 Environment Agency

Records and information held by EA has been obtained from their website, from open government licensed GIS data and is also from the Environmental Database Ref. 159898521_1_1 (Annex B).

2.10.2 Surrounding Area

The following potentially contaminative activities have been identified as having taken place on-Site (Table 2-4).

Table 2-4: Potential off-site contamination sources

Use of sewage compounds. sludge as a soil improvement agent.

The above activities represent potential off-site sources of contamination that (if present) could potentially migrate beneath the Site; however, this would largely be governed by the underlying geological and hydrogeological conditions. Based upon the above information the potential for contamination to have arisen in the immediate areas surrounding the Site, because of historic and/or current use, and impacting the Site is LOW.

3 Environmental Setting

3.1 Introduction

Desk-based research of the local geology, hydrogeology, hydrology and ecology was carried out to establish the potential for migration of contamination onto or away from the Site, and to assess the surface water and groundwater sensitivity of the surrounding area. Information was obtained from several sources, namely:

▪ examination of published geological maps produced by the British Geological Survey (BGS), inspection of the BGS Geology of Britain Viewer and associated borehole logs (BGS, n.d.);

▪ review of Envirocheck Landmark report;

▪ an examination of the EA’s aquifer classification;

▪ review of MAGIC on-line environmental data; and

▪ a review of other online web and other publicly available information.

3.2 Geology

According to the BGS Geology of Britain Viewer and BGS Geology Mapping (1:50,000, Sheet 199, Worcester, Solid and Drift, 1993), the Site is underlain by:

▪ Superficial deposits – The majority of the Site shows no underlying superficial deposits except for a small area (approximately 341m2) at the western extent of the Site. This area is underlain by Head. Head is described by the BGS Lexicon as essentially comprising ‘sand and gravel, locally with lenses of silt, clay or peat and organic material’. In addition, although records do not depict any on-site deposits, Alluvium is shown to extend to within 3 metres of the Site boundary. There is a possibility that these deposits may be found underlaying the north-eastern corner of the Site. Alluvium is described by the BGS Lexicon as ‘normally soft to firm consolidated, compressible silty clay, but can contain layers of silt, sand, peat and basal gravel. A stronger, desiccated surface zone may be present.’

▪ Bedrock deposits – The underlying bedrock geology is the Sidmouth Mudstone Formation. According the BGS Lexicon, ‘the formation consists of dominantly mudstone and siltstone, red-brown with common grey-green reduction patches and spots’.

018-1611 REV01 May 2018 Page 28 of 63

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

Figure 3-1: Superficial and bedrock geology

With reference to the on-line BGS Borehole Record Viewer, the nearest borehole log is located c.265m to the south (Ref. SO84SW23), however, the borehole is located on geology dissimilar to that underlying the Site.

According to data issued by the Public Health England, the Site is in an area where all parts of this 1-km grid square are in the lowest band of radon potential. Less than 1 % of homes above the Action Level.

The Coal Authority mapping does not indicate the Site as being within a ‘Coal Mining Reporting Area’ i.e. known extent of coal mining activity.

3.3 Hydrogeology

The aquifer classification system was updated on 1st April 2010 which provided new aquifer designations to replace the old system of aquifer classifications, such as Major, Minor and Non-Aquifer. This revised system is in line with the EA’s Groundwater Protection Policy (GP3) and the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and is based on British Geological Survey mapping. From a review of the EA maps the Site is located on the following:

018-1611 REV01 May 2018 Page 29 of 63

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

▪ Superficial deposits – The majority of the Site is not underlain by any Superficial Deposits. A small area on the western proportions of the Site is underlain by Head Deposits which have been classified as a Secondary (undifferentiated) Aquifer. This classification has been assigned by the EA ‘in cases where it has not been possible to attribute either category A or B to a rock type. In most cases, this means that the layer in question has previously been designated as both minor and non-aquifer in different locations due to the variable characteristics of the rock type.’ There is potential that the very north-eastern proportions of the Site may be underlain by Alluvium Deposits. These deposits have been classified as Secondary A Aquifers. These are defined as ‘permeable layers capable of supporting water supplies at a local rather than strategic scale, and in some cases forming an important source of base flow to rivers. These are generally aquifers formerly classified as minor aquifers’.

▪ Bedrock deposits – the underlying Sidmouth Mudstone Formation has been designated Secondary B Aquifers. These are defined as ‘predominantly lower permeability layers which may store and yield limited amounts of groundwater due to localised features such as fissures, thin permeable horizons and weathering. These are generally the water- bearing parts of the former non-aquifers.’

The EA have defined Groundwater Source Protection Zones (SPZs) for 2,000 groundwater sources such as wells, boreholes and springs used for public drinking water supply. These zones are designated to protect the location from the risk of contamination from any activities that might cause pollution in the area, i.e. the closer the activity, the greater the risk. The maps show three main zones: an inner, an outer and the total catchment with a fourth zone of special interest, which the EA occasionally apply to a groundwater source. The third-party database and EA website indicate that the Site is not located within a SPZ.

The European WFD came into force in December 2000 and became UK law in December 2003. The EA has a duty to analyse the characteristics of the 11 River Basin Districts in England and Wales and assess the impact of human activity on the water bodies (including groundwater) within these districts. In addition, the EA are required to monitor the status of water bodies against the objectives set for them and prepare, review and keep an up to date a register of protected areas for each River Basin District whilst preparing and consulting on River Basin Management Plans. No current water quality data is available on the EA website.

According to the database, there are no groundwater abstraction licences associated with the Site, however, there is one such abstraction within a 1-km search radius. The abstraction licence (No. 18/54/080366) is operated Mr R T B Harcombe. Located 312 metres to the south of the Site the Abstraction is used for ‘General Farming and Domestic’. There are no potable abstractions within a 2-km search radius of the Site.

3.4 Hydrology

For each River Basin District, the WFD requires a River Basin Management Plan to be published. These are plans that set out the environmental objectives for all the water bodies within the River Basin District and how they will be achieved. The plans are based upon a detailed analysis of the pressures on the water bodies and an assessment of their impacts. The plans must be reviewed and updated every six years. The ecological status of surface water bodies is based on the following quality elements: biological quality, general chemical and physico-chemical quality, water quality with respect to specific pollutants (synthetic and non- synthetic), and hydromorphological quality. There are five classes of ecological status (i.e. high, good, moderate, poor or bad). Ecological status and chemical status together define the overall surface water status of a watercourse.

The closest main line river is the River Severn c. 2.7-km to the east. However, according the Catchment Data Explorer (EA, n.d.) the Site falls within the catchment area for Pool Brook, an ‘ordinary water course’, that comes within c. 110 metres of the Site at its closest point to the north. Pool Brook was awarded a ‘Poor’ ecological status, a ‘Good’ chemical status and a ‘Poor’ overall water body status in the second cycle of assessment (2016).

The environmental database holds records of one surface water abstraction. This is associated to the original Hanley Swan Incinerator. The licence (No. 18/54/08/0094) was operated by Worcestershire County Council for ‘Refuse and Recycling: Non-Evaporative Cooling’. Water was abstracted from a single point 140 metres to the north-west of the Site. No permit end date is supplied.

According to the database, there are four active discharge consents within a 1-km search radius of the Site. The closest discharges into a tributary of Pool Brook 82 metres to the north of the Site. This appears to have been associated with the Hanley Swan Incinerator. The licence (No. S/08/23252/S) was operated by Beacon Waste Limited and discharged ‘Sewage Discharges – Final/Treated Effluent – Not Water Company’. No Revocation date was supplied.

Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs) cover some 62% of England and indicate all land draining to waters that are affected by nitrate pollution. NVZs were implemented by the Nitrate Pollution Prevention Regulations 2008, which came into force on 1st January 2009. According to the EA website, the Site is not located in a NVZ with respect to surface water or groundwater.

3.4.1 Flooding

According to the EA website, the Site is in an area that could be impacted by flooding:

018-1611 REV01 May 2018 Page 31 of 63

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

▪ Flooding due to rivers and sea – The entirety of the Site is shown to be in Flood Zone 1 (Low Probability). This is defined as ‘land having a less than 1 in 1,000 annual probability of river or sea flooding’.

▪ Flooding due to surface water - The EA defines surface water flooding as happening when ‘rainwater does not drain away through the normal drainage systems or soak into the ground but lies on or flows over the ground instead’. Small proportions of the Site, the eastern boundary and sections of Hangmans Lane are shown to be at risk from a surface water flood event with a 0.1 percent annual chance of occurrence (Figure 3-2).

Figure 3-2: Surface water flood risk

3.5 Sensitive Land Uses

3.5.1 Ecological Receptors

The Natural England MAGIC website was queried to locate Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Protection Areas (SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Ramsar Sites, National Nature Reserves (NNR), Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Parks and Local Nature Reserves (LNR) within 1-km of the Site.

There are no designated ecological receptors within a 1-km search radius of the Site.

3.5.2 Protected Buildings

There are no listed buildings, either on-Site or within a 1-km search radius.

3.5.3 Residential Receptors

The Site is in a rural setting with the closest residential receptor c. 20 metres to the south (Broadacres Farm).

3.5.4 Recreational Land Use

A public footpath runs alongside the western boundary of the Site. At the current time the Site is freely accessible, from the public right of way, due to Site boundary fence damage (Photograph 3-1).

3.6 Significance of Environmental Setting

The significance of the environmental setting is considered by EAME to be as follows:

▪ Groundwater [MODERATE SENSITIVITY] – The majority of the Site is not underlain by any Superficial Deposits. A small area on the western proportions of the Site is underlain by Head Deposits which have been classified as a Secondary (undifferentiated) Aquifer. There is potential that the very north-eastern proportions of the Site may be underlain by Alluvium Deposits. These deposits have been classified as Secondary A Aquifers. Bedrock deposits have been designated Secondary B Aquifers. The Site is not in an SPZ.

▪ Surface Water [MODERATE – HIGH SENSITIVITY] – There are no main line rivers within 500 metres of the Site, the closest water course is c.110 metres to the north of the Site (Pool Brook).

▪ Ecological Sensitive Areas [LOW SENSITIVITY] – There are no statutory designations within a 1-km search radius of the Site.

▪ Protected Buildings and Structures [LOW SENSITIVITY] – There are no listed buildings or structures located on-site, or within a 1-km search radius.

▪ Residential Areas [HIGH SENSITIVITY] – The Site is in a rural setting with the closest residential receptor c. 20 metres to the south (Broadacres Farm).

▪ Recreational Areas [HIGH SENSITIVITY] – There is no public access adjacent to the Site (via a footpath).

4 Phase II Environmental Assessment

4.1 Introduction

A targeted intrusive investigation was undertaken at the Site to assess the nature and extent of any contamination. The breakdown of the strategy to investigate and assess conditions can be summarised as follows:

▪ the drilling of eight (8) window sample locations to a maximum depth of 4.0 metres bgl by an EAME approved sub-contractor (Cook Ground Investigation Ltd);

▪ the logging, sampling and on-site screening of soil samples for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at regular intervals throughout the soil profile using a Photo Ionisation Detector (PID);

▪ assessment and interpretation of field and analytical data to assess the current on-site conditions; and

▪ provision of an interpretative report including a risk assessment based on Source- Pathway-Receptor as per CLR11 (Environment Agency, 2004).

The window sample locations are outlined in Table 4-1 and Figure 4-1.

4.1.1 Health and Safety

A detailed project specific Health and Safety Plan (HSP) was prepared in advance of the commencement of the investigatory works. The project specific HSP was approved by the Project Director and was provided to all on-site EAME employees. For the avoidance of doubt, EAME staff as a minimum adhere to relevant legislation and best practice, including the Health and Safety Executive Guidance Note HS(G) 47 “Avoiding Danger from Underground Services”, and other relevant regulatory and legal requirements e.g. Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 etc.

4.2 Sample Acquisition and On-Site Analysis

4.2.1 Drilling

All drilling and window sample installations were undertaken by Cook Ground Investigation Limited using a small tracked rig (Archway Competitor Dart Rig). The lead driller, has fifteen years' experience in geotechnical and environmental drilling, including window sampling, cable percussion and rotary drilling. Ben is qualified to NVQ Level 2 in Land Drilling and holds a CSCS Skilled Worker card.

4.2.2 Soils

Soil arisings from the exploratory hole locations were examined visually and any unusual odours were also noted. The soils encountered were logged broadly in accordance with BS EN ISO 14688-1:2002 and BS EN ISO 14688-2:2004, which has partially superseded BS 5930:2015, however, this standard does not cover descriptions of manmade or reworked materials and was written principally for engineering purposes.

Soil samples were ideally either collected from within the top 1.0 metre, a change in strata, or at any depth where visual or olfactory evidence of contamination was identified or suspected.

4.2.3 Headspace Testing

All soil samples were tested by dynamic headspace analysis, for the presence of VOCs using a PID. Dynamic headspace analysis refers to the manual agitation (warming) of a sample to facilitate the volatilisation of organic compounds present in the sample into the headspace above which is then analysed using the PID.

4.2.4 Sample Integrity

All collected soil and groundwater samples were submitted to an MCERTS and UKAS (ISO 17025) accredited laboratory (i2 Analytical) for chemical analysis. Discussions were held with the laboratory prior to the commencement of any works to determine the quantity of sample required and the containers to be used.

All samples obtained were placed in the appropriate container for the analysis to be carried out and were immediately put into a temperature regulated cool box with frozen cool packs. All samples were given a unique reference number, dated and the information recorded on an appropriate Chain of Custody (CoC) form for dispatch with the samples to the appropriate laboratory.

4.3 Field Observations

4.3.1 Ground Conditions

The drilling of window sample locations on the site enabled the opportunity for limited field observations of the soil strata. The ground conditions at the site are summarised in Table 4-3 and the exploratory borehole logs are presented in Annex D.

5 Policy and Legislative Context

5.1 Planning Policy and Guidance

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. The NPPF constitutes guidance for local planning authorities and decision-takers both in drawing up plans and as a material consideration in determining applications. Fundamental to the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development.

The NPPF states that in order “to prevent unacceptable risks from pollution and land instability, planning policies and decisions should ensure that new development is appropriate for its location. The effects (including cumulative effects) of pollution on health, the natural environment or general amenity, and the potential sensitivity of the area or proposed development to adverse effects from pollution, should be taken into account. Where a site is affected by contamination or land stability issues, responsibility for securing a safe development rests with the developer and/or landowner”.

Planning policies and decisions should also ensure that:

▪ “the Site is suitable for its new use taking account of ground conditions and land instability, including from natural hazards or former activities such as mining, pollution arising from previous uses and any proposals for mitigation including land remediation or impacts on the natural environment arising from that remediation”;

▪ “after remediation, as a minimum, land should not be capable of being determined as contaminated land under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990”; and

▪ “adequate site investigation information, prepared by a competent person, is presented”. The NPPF specifies that the minimum information that should be provided by an applicant is the report of a desk study and site reconnaissance.

The NPPF replaces the key Planning Policy Statements (PPS) which formed national planning policy, including PPS23 directly relevant to land contamination. PPS23 stressed that land contamination, or the possibility of land contamination, is a material planning consideration in taking decisions on individual planning applications. This remains a fundamental part of the NPPF.

The planning process can influence how contaminated sites are managed through planning policy and development control. In terms of the latter, planning conditions often require

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

detailed site assessment or, in some cases, the restoration of a site to render it suitable for its proposed new use.

5.2 Environmental Protection Act 1990

Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (“Part 2A”) provides the legislative framework for the contaminated land regime in England, Wales and Scotland. It provides for contaminated land to be identified and dealt with in a risk-based manner. The Contaminated Land (Wales) Regulations 2006 set out provisions for procedural matters under Part 2A. The 2006 regulations have recently been modified with the introduction of The Contaminated Land (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2012, which came into force on 6th April 2012. This includes an amendment to Regulation 3(c) to take account of the updated definition of “controlled waters” in Section 78A(9) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Section 78A(2) of Part 2A of the EPA 1990 defines contaminated land as “land which appears to the local authority in whose area it is situated to be in such a condition, by reason of substances in, on or under the land, that:

▪ significant harm is being caused or there is a significant possibility of such harm being caused; or

▪ pollution of controlled waters is being or is likely to be caused”.

The implementation of Section 86 of the Water Act 2003 on the 6th April 2012 by The Water Act 2003 (Commencement No. 11) Order 2012 (SI 2012/264) modifies the definition of contaminated land to also include land where there is “significant possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters”. This applies to England only and not Wales.

Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance published in April 2012 provides for a new four category test which is intended to clarify when land does or does not need to be remediated, where Category 1 is deemed as being high risk and Category 4 as being low risk.

“Significant harm” is defined in the Guidance on risk-based criteria and must be the result of a significant “pollutant linkage”. The presence of a pollutant linkage relies on the Source- Pathway-Receptor concept, where all three factors must be present and potentially or actually linked for a potential risk to exist. An initial assessment of pollutant linkage can be made qualitatively (i.e. through identifying these factors) and may be assessed using qualitative risk assessment models.

5.3 Assessment Criteria

5.3.1 Soils

Assessment of contaminated soils in the UK follows a risk-based approach and is structured in a tiered manner. As well as having a systematic approach to collecting the data it is also necessary to adopt recognised techniques and standards in assessing them regarding environmental risk assessment.

The information gathered during the site investigation was utilised to develop a conceptual site model based on the risk assessment principles of source, pathway and receptor.

The soil analytical results have been compared against an appropriate set of assessment criteria:

▪ Suitable 4 Use Levels (S4UL) for 89 substances published by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and the Land Quality Management Group (LQM) in 20156. S4UL replaces the 2nd edition of the LQM/CIEH generic assessment criteria published in 2009. The LQM/CIEH S4ULs are intended to provide a complete and updated replacement for the LQM/CIEH General Assessment Criteria (GAC)7.

▪ Soil Guideline Values (SGV’s) for the 11 compounds published in 2009 by the Environment Agency (EA);

▪ Defra. Category 4 Screening Levels (C4SLs) for Lead; and

▪ Contaminated Land: Applications in Real Environments (2010). Soil Generic Assessment Criteria (GAC) for Human Health Risk Assessment, C:LAIRE, ISBN 978-1-905046-20-1, January 2010.

The SGV values for soil assessment were developed in accordance with current UK legislation and Environment Agency policy using the Contaminated Land Exposure Assessment (CLEA) risk assessment model (CLEA Version 1.06). The S4UL values are based on health criteria values, updated to reflect changes since 2009. They are derived for the standard CLEA land uses and the two public open space scenarios outlined in document SP1010 8 (CL:AIRE, 2014).

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

The S4ULs are also compliant with EA document SR29 and the long standing principle of 'suitable for use' whilst also reflecting changes to exposure parameters outlined in document in SP1010 (CL:AIRE, 2014).

The S4UL values are intended to be ‘trigger values’ that mark the concentration of a substance in soil at or below which human exposure can be considered to represent a ‘tolerable’ or ‘minimal’ level of risk such that the land is suitable for its use.

Neither of these guidelines referred to have any legal status in the UK, they merely provide a useful screening guide to help identify where more site-specific risk assessment may be required i.e. exceedence of a guideline value should trigger further consideration and not be presumed to imply remediation is needed. Where known contamination exists above guideline values and this presents a significant risk to potential receptors then more sophisticated site specific Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) can be undertaken to better define the risks and identify appropriate remediation target values for the substances of concern.

Asbestos

All eight samples were submitted for asbestos ID (ISO17025). No asbestos materials were detected in any of the soil samples.

Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC)

Due to the Landfill Directive (2003/33/EC), to dispose of any material within a landfill there is a requirement to classify the waste as hazardous, non-hazardous or inert. To comply with this requirement, a Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) analysis (in line with British Standard BS EN 12457 part 2 : Single Stage 10:1 Leachate Suite) should be undertaken. The criteria for granular waste acceptance at landfills is outlined in Table 6-2.

7 Qualitative Risk Assessment

7.1 Introduction

A conceptual model is an essential element of any site-specific environmental risk assessment. In this context, they are often simple representations of the hypothesised relationships between sources, pathways and receptors. For this report, a basic conceptual model has been developed based on the principles of CLR11 (Environment Agency, 2004) and interpretation of information gathered during the Phase I review. Thus, this allows the identification of potential pollutant linkages and whether these linkages have the potential to comprise significant harm and/or pollution of controlled waters in relation to the Site. Based on this interpretation, the implications for potential liability associated with soil or water contamination at the Site can be evaluated.

7.2 Conceptual Site Model

The soil and groundwater conditions on the Site, as identified through the environmental assessment, have been summarised into a Conceptual Site Model (CSM), which defines the key sources, pathways and receptors that have been identified as being relevant to this Site. The CSM concludes with potential pollutant linkages for the Site given the current setting:

▪ SOURCES – the identification of contaminants within the soils and groundwater that represent potential pollution sources;

▪ PATHWAYS – the identification of the potential exposure mechanisms and migration pathways from the potential sources; and

▪ RECEPTORS – the identification of the potential receptors that could be sensitive to harm if exposed to these pollution sources.

Collectively, each of these scenarios would be considered a potential pollutant linkage that may require further assessment.

It is understood that this report is requited to support a proposed the redevelopment of the Site (i.e. a new incineration and filtration plant) (Figure 7-1). Changes to the above proposals will invalidate the following risk assessment (i.e. a more sensitive land use has not been considered). A preliminary conceptual model is presented below in accordance with the guidance outlined within CLR11.

7.2.1 Identification of Potential Sources

Based on the information from the desk study, historical maps, published information and the Phase II Environmental Site Investigation, a summary of potential contaminant sources is provided. These have been divided into sources resulting from current and historic uses, both on and off-site (Table 7-4).

7.2.2 Identification of Potential Exposure Pathways

Exposure pathways are the potential routes and mechanisms by which potential on-site sources could be linked to the identified potential receptors and thereby expose them to potential harm. Only plausible pathways need be considered. The following potential exposure pathways have been identified at the Site (note these do not assume a source is present):

▪ inhalation (i.e. dust and vapours);

▪ dermal contact (i.e. direct contact with contaminated materials);

▪ ingestion of contaminated soils or groundwater;

▪ direct contact with buildings and services;

▪ migration of contaminants via on-site drainage systems;

▪ vertical/horizontal migration of contaminants (within the soil/groundwater); and

▪ vertical/horizontal migration of ground gases.

7.2.3 Potential Receptors

Based on the Site’s environmental setting and the proposed future end use of the Site, the following potential receptors have been identified:

▪ groundwater;

▪ surface water;

▪ construction workers;

▪ on-site buildings and services (current and future);

018-1611 REV01 May 2018 Page 55 of 63

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

▪ future Site users; and

▪ third-party land and operations (i.e. the possibility of contamination migrating off-site onto third party land via contaminated groundwater, surface water run-off etc.).

7.2.4 Potential Pollutant Linkages

For there to be a plausible pollutant linkage there must be a source, receptor and pathway and a feasible linkage between them (a so-called pollutant linkage). Consequently, even where a contaminant is identified, if there is no pathway for the contamination to reach a receptor, or no receptor then there can be no significant risk and remedial actions are not required. Furthermore, even if there is a complete pollutant linkage, it is possible that the contaminant concentration that can pass along the linkage does not represent a significant risk to human health or the environment. Central to this risk assessment process is the development of a ‘conceptual model’. This is a descriptive and/or pictorial representation of the area of potential contamination, the surrounding environment and the processes acting on the contaminants by which they can move and encounter receptors (e.g. by leaching and migration into groundwater).

Production of a conceptual model requires an assessment of risk to be made. Risk is a combination of the likelihood of an event occurring and the magnitude of its consequences. Therefore, to assess risk both the likelihood and the consequences of an event must be considered. This report adopts the methodology for risk evaluation presented in the guidance document CIRIA C552 Contaminated Land Risk Assessment – A Guide to Good Practice (Rudland, et al., 2001).

The method is qualitative and involves the classification of the magnitude of the potential severity or consequence of the risk occurring (Table 7-1).

Table 7-1: Classification of consequence

Consequence Definition

Severe Short term (acute) risk to human health likely to result in 'significant harm' as defined by the Environment Protection Act 1990, Part IIA.

Consequence Definition

Medium Chronic damage to human health (significant harm). Pollution of sensitive water resources. A significant change in an ecosystem, or an organism forming part of such an ecosystem.

Mild Pollution of non-sensitive water resources. Significant damage to crops, buildings, structures and services. Damage to sensitive buildings/structures/services or the environment.

Minor Harm, although not necessarily significant harm, which may result in a financial loss, or expenditure to resolve. Non-permanent health effects to human health (easily prevented by means such as personal protective clothing etc.). Easily repairable effects of damage to buildings, structures and services.

The magnitude of the likelihood or probability of the risk occurring is estimated using Table 7-2.

Table 7-2: Classification or probability

Likelihood Definition

High There is a pollution linkage and an event that either appears very likely in the short term and almost inevitable over the long term or there is evidence at the receptor of harm or pollution.

Likely There is a pollutant linkage and all the elements are present and in the right place, which means that it is probable that an event will occur. Circumstances are such that an event is not inevitable, but possible in the short term and likely over the long term.

Low There is a pollution linkage and circumstances are possible under which an event could occur. However, it is by no means certain that even over a longer period that such an event would take place and is even less likely in the shorter term.

Unlikely There is a pollution linkage, but circumstances are such that it is improbable that an event would occur even in the very long term.

Once the likelihood of an event occurring and its severity have been classified, a risk category can be assigned using (Table 7-3).

Likely High Moderate Moderate/Low Low Occurrence

Low Moderate Moderate/Low Low Very Low Likelihood of Unlikely Moderate/Low Low Very Low Very Low

The description of the classified risks and likely actions required, in accordance with CIRIA C552, are:

▪ VERY HIGH RISK – There is a high probability that severe harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard OR, there is evidence that sever harm to a designated receptor is currently happening. This risk (if realised) is likely to result in a substantial liability. Urgent investigation (if not undertaken already) and remediation are likely to be required.

▪ HIGH RISK – Harm is likely to arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. Realisation of the risk is likely to present a substantial liability. Urgent investigation (if not undertaken already) is required and remedial works may be necessary in the short term and are likely over the longer term.

▪ MODERATE RISK – It is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard. However, if it is either relatively unlikely that any such harm would be severe, or if any harm were to occur it is likely that the harm would be relatively mild. Investigation (if not already undertaken) is normally required to clarify the risk and to determine the potential liability. Some remedial works may be required in the longer term.

▪ LOW RISK – It is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from n identified hazard, but it is likely that this harm, if realised, would at worst normally be mild.

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

▪ VERY LOW RISK – There is a low possibility that harm could arise to a receptor. In the event of such harm being realised it is not likely to be severe.

EAME has devised a conceptual model based on the information obtained to date through the desk-based study and the proposed end use of the Site. This is detailed in tabular format in Table 7-4 and pictorially in Annex A, Figure A3 and Figure A4. It is important to remember that the stated risk assessment only remains valid if the current proposals are implemented.

No evidence of historic clinical waste was observed on-site. No exceedances of any of the stated soil screening values was found. Access to the site is possible from the adjacent footpath as the surrounding fence line is heavily damaged. There is a duty of care (Occupiers' Liability Act 1984) to take such care as is reasonable in all the circumstances of the case to see that the non-visitor does not suffer injury on the premises by reason of the danger concerned. It is recommended that the site is secured to prevent unauthorised access.

Ingestion HHR02 Human Health Likelihood [LOW] x Consequence [MINOR] =VERY LOW Inhalation Future construction workers The historical review identified that the site was farmland Dermal contact prior to the construction of the incinerator. During the construction of the incinerator a 3-metre-deep basement and waste receiving pit was excavated. The spoil (natural soils) from this activity were placed around the incinerator building to form a low screening bund. The site investigation did not identify any potential on-site (in ground) sources of contamination. No exceedances of any of the stated soil screening values was found. The redevelopment of the Site (creation of the waste bin storage extension) will involve ground disturbance and removal of the shallow ‘Made Ground’. Any localised ‘Made Ground’ encountered during the redevelopment works should be assessed and removed as required. A composite sample taken during the site assessment works classified the material as WAC inert. Normal operational hygiene requirements and procedures will be applied. These would be sufficient to break any potential pollution linkages with the below ground materials (if indeed they are present). Any PACMs associated with the current structures will need to be assessed and removed prior to redevelopment.

No exceedances of any of the stated soil screening values was found. The Site is situated in area of low sensitivity with respect to groundwater resources primarily due to the underlying bedrock being classified as a Secondary B Aquifer. According to the database, there is one groundwater abstraction within a 1-km search radius. The abstraction licence (No. 18/54/080366) is operated Mr R T B Harcombe (312 metres to the south). The abstraction is used for ‘General Farming and Domestic’. There are no potable abstractions within a 2-km search radius of the Site.

8 Conclusions and Recommendations

8.1 Summary of Findings

The Site is currently a disused clinical waste incinerator that was originally constructed in 1970/71 by a partnership of two local councils. Following completion, it was in use as an incinerator for the disposal of clinical waste until early 1995 when it was closed because of the anticipated costs of complying with more rigorous control of emissions. The building features a 3-metre-deep basement and an adjacent waste receiving pit. The excavated material from these structures was placed around the site to form a low screening bund of ‘natural material’.

The significance of the environmental setting is considered by EAME to be as follows:

▪ Surface Water [MODERATE – HIGH SENSITIVITY] – There are no main line rivers within 500 metres of the Site, the closest water course is c.110 metres to the north of the Site (Pool Brook).

▪ Ecological Sensitive Areas [LOW SENSITIVITY] – There are no statutory designations within a 1-km search radius of the Site.

018-1611 REV01 May 2018 Page 62 of 63

Environmental Assessment (Phase I and Phase II) Hanley Swan Waste Incinerator, Hangmans Lane, Hanley Castle, assetGEN Partners Ltd Worcestershire, WR8 0AJ

▪ Protected Buildings and Structures [LOW SENSITIVITY] – There are no listed buildings or structures located on-site, or within a 1-km search radius.

▪ Residential Areas [HIGH SENSITIVITY] – The Site is in a rural setting with the closest residential receptor c. 20 metres to the south (Broadacres Farm).

▪ Recreational Areas [HIGH SENSITIVITY] – There is no public access adjacent to the Site (via a footpath).

It is concluded that the Site is suitable for continued commercial use without remediation.

8.2 Recommendations

In-light of the findings outlined above the following recommendations are made:

▪ Asbestos survey of all buildings – Prior to redevelopment (expansion), it is recommended that a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey of all buildings is undertaken. This is a requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

▪ Removal of ACMs prior to redevelopment – Where ACMs are identified they should be removed in-line with current HSE requirements. All ACMs should be removed from Site for off-site disposal in-line with current waste management regulations.

▪ Pumping out of water from basement – The water within the basement should be sampled and discharged in-line with current regulatory requirements.

A Landmark Information Group Service v50.0 19-Mar-2018 Page 5 of 13 Worcestershire Published 1930 Source map scale - 1:10,560 The historical maps shown were reproduced from maps predominantly held at the scale adopted for England, Wales and Scotland in the 1840`s. In 1854 the 1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas; these maps were used to update the 1:10,560 maps. The published date given therefore is often some years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS maps were based on the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single county or group of counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying areas. In the late 1940`s, a Provisional Edition was produced, which updated the 1:10,560 mapping from a number of sources. The maps appear unfinished - with all military camps and other strategic sites removed. These maps were initially overprinted with the National Grid. In 1970, the first 1:10,000 maps were produced using the Transverse Mercator Projection. The revision process continued until recently, with new editions appearing every 10 years or so for urban areas.

A Landmark Information Group Service v50.0 19-Mar-2018 Page 7 of 13 Historical Aerial Photography Published 1949 Source map scale - 1:10,560 The Historical Aerial Photos were produced by the Ordnance Survey at a scale of 1:1,250 and 1:10,560 from Air Force photography. They were produced between 1944 and 1951 as an interim measure, pending preparation of conventional mapping, due to post war resource shortages. New security measures in the 1950's meant that every photograph was re- checked for potentially unsafe information with security sites replaced by fake fields or clouds. The original editions were withdrawn and only later made available after a period of fifty years although due to the accuracy of the editing, without viewing both revisions it is not easy to spot the edits. Where available Landmark have included both revisions.
