DEVELOPMENT Issue: 01 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Date: 09.12.2020 1.0 Introduction This CEMP document has been produced to set out the environmental controls and mitigation that will be implemented to ensure that all client and regulatory requirements applicable to the Nigg Energy Park – East Quay Development are met. This document has been prepared by Farrans and applies to the site of the marine works only i.e. the works to be undertaken by Farrans. The development of the land to the east of the marine works is the subject of a separate contract and associated Construction Environmental Management Documentation. The CEMP is considered a live document and will be updated and reviewed as necessary as works progress to ensure Farrans are compliant with all legislative and client requirements. Revisions to the document will be noted in the amendment record sheet and the changes communicated to the relevant parties involved with the project. 2.0 Project Description The East Quay development at Nigg Energy Park (NEP) is intended to provide a new wet berth with heavy duty quays to serve the marine renewable energy market as well as the North Sea oil and gas markets. Works consist of the detailed design, construction and commissioning of a 225m long finger jetty, along with the associated dredging operations. The works also include the supply and installation of quay side furniture and fittings to be installed at the quayside and quayside lighting. NEP is located on the north side of the Cromarty Firth, approximately 8km east of Invergordon, Scotland. The site is centred at Ordnance Survey Grid Reference NH 79527 69016. The proposed jetty will extend southwards from the existing southern boundary of NEP and is located at the east side of the existing approach channel to the dry dock. Drawing No. 185062-012 denotes the working area and vehicular access routes. 5 33034 NIGG EAST QUAY DEVELOPMENT Issue: 01 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Date: 09.12.2020 2.1 Land Use The existing Nigg Energy Park was originally developed in the 1970’s to act as a construction dock and steel fabrication yard for the off-shore structures to be used in the North Sea Oil industry. The working area is situated within the confines of an operational port, which will remain operational for the duration of the contract. The land to the east of the site is currently undeveloped and consists of areas of dense and scattered scrub, grassland, and ruderal vegetation. Sand and shingle above the high tide mark are also present both within and to the south of the site. An existing steel sheet piled sea wall lies within the site and will be incorporated into the works. Nigg Energy Park lies to the north of the site with open sea to the west. Several designated sites are recorded adjacent to the site, which include: The Cromarty Frith SPA (Special Protection Area), The Moray Frith SAC (Special Area of Conservation) and the Dornoch Firth and Morrich Moore SPA. It is noted that the Sutors is one of the most important features within The Moray Firth SAC, particularly for bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise foraging and feeding.
