1.0 PREFACE

The site is located off Tan Yard, Longridge. PR3 3TA. (NGR 361270 437740). Site occupies an area of approximately 0.31 hectares.

PSA Design were commissioned by Mrs Corbet to provide a Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment of the site. It is understood that consideration is being given to the redevelopment of the site as a residential development with associated car parking and landscaping. A development layout plan has been provided, which is included in this report as Drawing No. G1770/03.

PSA Design’s investigation included a review of Groundwise data and Environment Agency searches. A summary of salient geo-environmental issues is provided in the table below.

Issue Remarks

Former uses Former uses of site have been a quarry, prior to recent inactivity on the site. The presence of several landfills within 250m of the site represents a medium risk of ground gas generation. Therefore, in accordance with CIRIA C665, and in Hazardous Gas view of the nature of the residential development, it is recommended that a minimum of six gas monitoring visits be undertaken over a three month period. Not within a mining area. Presence of several sandstone quarries within a 250m Mining & Quarrying radius of the study site. The site does not lie within an Environment Agency Flood Plain and is not likely Flooding & Drainage to flood in extreme flood events. Site drainage is likely to enter the existing drainage network. Anticipated Ground Thin fill deposits over sandstone/siltstone rock of the Carboniferous. Conditions

Anticipated One potential source of contamination risk from infill materials. Contamination

Preparatory Works Re-grading of site for purpose. Removal of vegetation.

Strip footing foundations to competent bearing strata are anticipated to be the Anticipated Foundation most economic foundation solutions across the site subject to confirmatory site Solutions investigation. Intrusive investigation comprising window sampler boreholes across site, with Recommendations for gas/groundwater monitoring installations. Chemical soils analysis, with Ground Investigation subsequent gas and groundwater monitoring.

Potential deeper foundations in localized fill. Shallow rock-head may be difficult Geotechnical Issues to excavate. Mature trees to margins may affect foundation depth and/or root barrier specification, dependent upon ground conditions.

At this stage, anticipated significant developer abnormal costs relating to geo- environmental issues at the site are:

• Capping of proposed gardens and landscaped areas with uncontaminated subsoil/topsoil, possibly re-used from site won sources or imported. • Removal and treatment/disposal of localised contaminated soils, if present. • Allowance for gas protection measures, prior to monitoring exercise

3.2 Site Features 3.2.1 A PSA Design Engineer completed a walkover survey of the site on the 17th July 2013 and the salient features are presented below. A selection of site photographs are included in the report as Appendix F.

3.2.2 The existing site is currently unused, with no development on the site.

3.2.3 Grassed vegetation is found within central southern areas of the site, with various mature trees and shrubs along the N, E and particularly the NW perimeter of the site. Himalayan Balsam noted within small patches within the woodland/shrub areas to the central N boundary area.

3.2.4 Ground is on various levels within the site, with the SW area, close to Tan Yard on a flat lower terrace, with the ground rising to the W in a second flat (grassed) terrace area, approximately 2m higher than Tan Yard highway. The ground to the N and E of this higher terrace rising again steeply to the site boundary. Due to the dense nature of the NW woodland, it is difficult to judge the ground level within the thin development strip to the NW of the main site area. The land to the W of the site boundary rises steeply, whilst the ground to the S and N drops away gradually.

3.2.5 Access to site off highway, Tan Yard. No hard-standing on the site.

3.2.6 Some bare vegetation patches within the site show fill materials within the higher parts of the NE area of the site, a very gravelly clay fill. To the N of the site within the caravan park, there appears to be a rock outcrop at the surface. A single house is present to the SE of the site.

3.2.7 Existing salient features are summarised in the Table below and shown in Drawing Number G1770/02.

6.2 Pathways and Receptors 6.2.1 Five pollutant receptors have been identified for the site, and are listed in the table below, together with the pathways through which they may be linked to pollutant sources.

Receptor Pathways HUMAN HEALTH Re-development Workers Inhalation, ingestion, skin contact End users-residents FAUNA & FLORA Root uptake Landscaping WATER ENVIRONMENT Ground & Surface water Surface water-Pond Groundwater Direct contact with contaminated soil BUILT ENVIRONMENT Buildings and services Diffusion of landfill gas through ground and collection in confined spaces

6.3 Conceptual Model and Qualitative Risk Assessment 6.3.1 A preliminary conceptual model of pollutant linkages is given in the table below, together with a qualitative risk assessment for each linkage. The risk assessment uses the method of risk evaluation set out in CIRIA 552 'Contaminated Land Risk Assessment'. The scale of risk is determined from a matrix that combines the consequence of a hazard with the 8

likelihood of the event happening. Details of the assessment method are included in Appendix E. A schematic summary of the conceptual model is given in Drawing Number G1770/05.

6.3.2 On-site ground and groundwater contamination from historic fill sources

The risk classification for five pollutant linkages relating to potential sources of contamination in the Made Ground and natural materials from possible historic infill materials varied between low risk to moderate/low risk. Investigation, if not already undertaken, is normally required in cases where the risk is classified as moderate or higher, and some remedial works may be required. The five receptors include human health (construction workers and end users-residents), groundwater, landscaping vegetation and gardens, and buildings and services. Three low/moderate risks were identified for the residents, re-development workers & services (water supply pipes) receptors via the pathway of direct contact with contaminated soil. The risks for these three elements can be reduced by suitable remediatory measures such as suitable PPE for construction workers, potential removal of Made Ground/suitable barrier systems and sterile trenches. Further investigation of the ground conditions with suitable chemical testing will qualify whether further remediatory measures are required to protect the health of the end users-residents. Two low risks were identified that were deemed less of a risk due to the reduced consequence of contamination. Reasons include the assumed lack of mobility of pollutants, due to the likely Made Ground composition being quarry waste. The low risk was identified for landscaping/vegetation and gardens that were deemed less of a risk due to the minor consequences from pollution.

6.3.3 Gas Risk from historic landfills The potential hazard of gas from historic fill on site and surrounding landfills has been linked with several receptors, which include construction workers and end-users and the built environment. For moderate risk receptors (Re-development Construction Workers and End Users) the consequences of gas inhalation are necessarily severe, but the probability of such an event is considered to be low. Risk to the receptor Buildings and Services is classed low. The consequence of damage from gas is necessarily medium, but the probability of such an event is estimated to be low for similar reasons to those stated above. The probability of such an event occurring is considered to be low due to several factors, leading to a likely generation potential of the source being very low for the high sensitivity of the development. The extent of the closest landfill is small, with the two larger landfills, 44m NE and 160m NW of the site, lacking waste data, apart from age and having a mix of waste types, including household. It is assumed that any gases that may have been generated would have been naturally venting out of the surface of the site for the majority of this period. Aerial photographs of the area showed no discolouration of the area. The likely ground conditions found within the area are likely to be sandstone/siltstone underlying rock layers, which will prove to be a potential pathway for the migrating gas. Thus the probability of such an event occurring is considered to be of moderate risk. Buildings and Services (low/moderate). The consequences of a damage from gas is

Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment

necessarily medium, but the probability of such an event is estimated to be low for similar reasons to those stated above, giving a classification of low/moderate.

6.3.4 Uncertainties There remains the possibility that some historical occupation of the site has not been identified, which could lead to unforeseen ground contamination.

Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment

7.0 CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS 7.1 General 7.1.1 It is understood that consideration is being given to the redevelopment of the site as a residential development with associated infrastructure, gardens and landscaping.

7.1.2 The main issues considered in this report, and in particular in Sections 4, 5, and 6 are based on a review of historical data and available information. The report provides a preliminary assessment of potential geo-environmental issues and implications for the current and proposed use of the site, together with issues associated with the proposed redevelopment of the site. Minor contaminated features have been found affecting the site.

7.2 Contamination 7.2.1 One potential source of contamination have been identified for the site, which is associated with: • the potential for unknown contaminated fill deposits beneath the surface of the raised levels within the site area surrounding the proposed housing plot. The likely presence of contaminated shallow Made Ground is considered to be at relatively low/moderate risk of elevated levels of localised inorganic contaminants and should be investigated further.

7.3 Hazardous Gas 7.3.1 The presence of historic fill deposits and landfill within and surrounding the site represents a medium risk of elevated concentrations of ground gas at the site.

7.3.2 Based on the nature of the proposed commercial development, and with reference to CIRIA C665 and the Ground Gas Handbook [2009], it is recommended that six monitoring visits must be undertaken over a three month monitoring period (High sensitivity and very low generation potential of source (CIRIA 2007 Recommended Monitoring Periods)).

7.3.3 Provision of retrospective gas protection measures in the building development should be considered but not specified until full monitoring results are analysed.

7.4 Mining & Quarrying 7.4.1 The site is not in a mining area. There are several quarries within 250m of the site.

7.5 Foundations 7.5.1 At present, no geotechnical ground investigation data is available for the site. Consequently it is only possible to estimate the ground conditions. Before firm foundation recommendations can be given, it will be necessary to undertake an appropriate ground investigation. However, tentative recommendations are provided below.

Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment

7.5.2 The published geological data suggests the site is underlain by localised fill deposits over sandstone/siltstone rock.

7.5.3 Foundations should be taken through to natural in-situ strata of adequate bearing capacity. This should provide a suitable founding stratum, subject to inspection of the formation. Foundation design should take into account the type/height of trees around the site for root protection.

7.6 Highway, Drainage and External Works Issues 7.6.1 The main vehicle access to the site is currently off Tan Yard to the S.

7.6.2 Drainage from the proposed development is likely to flow into the existing local drainage network in the vicinity of the site. It is recommended that the developer contact United Utilities with respect to capacity in existing foul and surface water sewers in the vicinity of the development area.

7.6.3 The site is undulating and it is anticipated that some site re-grading will be required.

7.6.4 The presence of rock-head close to the surface may affect excavations for services.

7.7 Potential Development Constraints 7.7.1 Full STATS information is required prior to the site development.

7.7.2 No risk of flooding on the site.

7.8 Further Investigation 7.8.1 Whilst the site is considered suitable for its current and proposed use, the proposed change in use will require intrusive investigation.

7.8.2 This would include borehole drilling should be carried out to determine near surface ground conditions including depth to natural strata, groundwater and stability.

7.8.3 An appropriate schedule of chemical testing should be carried out on soils and groundwater, to assess the significance of contamination, if any, at the site as a result of former potentially contaminative land use.

7.8.4 An appropriate ground investigation strategy is presented below:

Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment

Exploratory Purpose holes To retrieve geotechnical data from depth. To determine the general nature of soils Window underlying the site, including the: • nature, distribution and thickness of made ground (if Sampler any) • nature, degree and extent of contamination •possible voids/obstructions • Boreholes proportion of undesirable elements e.g. biodegradable matter etc • suitability of the ground for founding structures. Window To install monitoring wells across the sites in order to: • monitor for hazardous gas. • Sampler determine groundwater levels and assess flow direction. Boreholes

7.8.5 Proposed exploratory hole locations would be selected to provide a representative view of the strata beneath the site and to target potential areas of interest identified in the conceptual model. Additional exploratory locations would probably be scheduled by the site engineer in light of the ground conditions encountered. The number of representative samples taken would be reflective of the geological complexity encountered during the intrusive investigation. An assessment of potential contaminants associated with the former uses has been undertaken, which is based upon the professional judgement of PSA Design. As a consequence of this assessment, anticipated potential contaminants, within soil and\or groundwater include: Localised inorganic contaminants, elevated PAH concentrations in Made Ground.

7.8.6 Gas installation, monitoring and assessment should make reference to the CIRIA Publication C665 “Assessing risks posed by hazardous ground gases to buildings”, 2007 and NHBC document “Guidance on evaluation of development proposals on sites where methane and carbon dioxide are present”, Ed 4, March 2007.

7.8.7 Following completion of the site investigation, it will be necessary to undertake a quantitative risk assessment, and dependent upon the outcome provide a remediation statement.

Note: Maps Only certain features are placed on the maps within the report. All features represented on maps found within this search are given an identification number. This number identifies the feature on the mapping and correlates it to the additional information provided below. This identification number precedes all other information and takes the following format -Id: 1, Id: 2, etc. Where numerous features on the same map are in such close proximity that the numbers would obscure each other a letter identifier is used instead to represent the features. (e.g. Three features which overlap may be given the identifier “A” on the map and would be identified separately as features 1A, 3A, 10A on the data tables provided).

Where a feature is reported in the data tables to a distance greater than the map area, it is noted in the data table as “Not Shown”.

All distances given in this report are in Metres (m). Directions are given as compass headings such as N: North, E: East, NE: North East from the nearest point of the study site boundary.

6.6 Groundwater Flooding Susceptibility Areas

Are there any British Geological Survey groundwater flooding susceptibility flood areas within 50m of the boundary of the study site? Yes

What is the highest susceptibility to groundwater flooding in the search area based on the underlying geological conditions? Very Low

Report Reference: HMD-336-992139

Page 27 6.7 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas

What is the British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result? High

Notes:

Groundwater flooding is defined as the emergence of groundwater at the ground surface or the rising of groundwater into man-made ground under conditions where the normal range of groundwater levels is exceeded.

The confidence rating is on a threefold scale - Low, Moderate and High. This provides a relative indication of the BGS confidence in the accuracy of the susceptibility result for groundwater flooding. This is based on the amount and precision of the information used in the assessment. In areas with a relatively lower level of confidence the susceptibility result should be treated with more caution. In other areas with higher levels of confidence the susceptibility result can be used with more confidence.

Table 6.4 Classification of Probability

Classification Definition

High Likelihood 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 pollution 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 likelihood 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 such an event would take place, and is 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.

Table 6.6 Description of the classified risks and likely action required

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 severe 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 work 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. How ever, if it is either relatively unlikely that any such harm would be severe, or if any harm were to occur it is more 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 an identified hazard, but it is likely that this harm, if realised, would at worst normally be mild.

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.
