Cuadrilla Elswick Ltd Temporary Shale Gas Exploration at Roseacre Wood, Lancashire Utilities Statement

1 Introduction

This Utilities Statement has been prepared by Arup on behalf of Cuadrilla Elswick Ltd (Cuadrilla) in support of planning applications to Lancashire County Council (LCC) for temporary shale gas exploration works at a site close to Roseacre Wood, Roseacre. Its purpose is to identify utility apparatus in and around the area; state how the site will connect to the local utility networks; and to assess how these networks may be affected by the proposed development. This statement describes the impacts on the existing electricity, gas, water, foul drainage and telecommunications networks. Surface water drainage is covered in the site-specific Flood Risk Assessment. This Utilities Statement has been prepared to support two separate planning applications associated with the Project, and has therefore been structured accordingly:-  The Exploration Works (comprising the Exploration Site [well pad], Access and Extended Flow Test areas)  Monitoring Works

2 Existing Utilities (Exploration Works)

2.1 Sources of Information Plans were obtained through Groundwise Ltd. in October 2013 to confirm utility apparatus that may be present within the vicinity of the Roseacre Wood site. Copies of these plans can be found in Appendix A. Gas, electricity and water apparatus have been identified within the vicinity of the site. Confirmation has been received from the following utility providers that they do not have apparatus within the vicinity of the site:  Vodafone (Cable & Wireless)  BSKYB  CityFibre  McNicholas (KPN and TATA)  Verzion  GTC – Envoy  SSE Pipelines Ltd / Neos Networks  OFCOM  Orange  Trafficmaster  KCOM  Energetics  Colt  Instalcom (inc. Level 3)  Interoute  Virgin Media  Vtesse

Plans provided by United Utilities (UU) show that there are no public sewers within the vicinity of the site. Discussions have also been held with DHFCS Inskip regarding the impact on their private utilities networks within their landownership.

2.2 Utilities in Close Proximity to the Site From the utility records obtained, Gas utility apparatus was identified within the site boundary. DHFCS Inskip has overhead communications cables crossing the access route. Water and electricity apparatus have been identified in close proximity to the site as described below. The presence of these utilities will be stated in the Cuadrilla site H&S Manual and locations shown on site notice boards.

2.2.1 Gas A 42” ST (steel) high pressure gas main has been identified as passing beneath the access track, to the east of the exploration site. National Grid plans showing the

REP/230382-10/C002 | Issue |

Cuadrilla Elswick Ltd Temporary Shale Gas Exploration at Roseacre Wood, Lancashire Utilities Statement

route of the main can be found in Appendix A. This main forms part of the National Transmission System (NTS). The main passes approximately 30m away from the south-east corner of the well pad at its closest point. There are no records of other gas apparatus in the vicinity of the site, including in the village of Roseacre.

2.2.2 Electricity Cables Records show the presence of high voltage above ground electricity pylons approximately 300m to the west of the exploration site. Low voltage electrical supplies are provided to local residential properties via cabling installed in Roaseacre Road. A plan of this is shown in Appendix A.

2.2.3 Water mains A 6” diameter UU potable water main runs alongside Roseacre Road, approximately 400m to the east of the exploration site. Records show this as an asbestos cement pipeline which continues northwards past Stanley Farm. A 90mm diameter branch from the 6” main continues along Roseacre Road and through the village of Roseacre, approximately 350m to the north of the exploration site.

2.2.4 Telecommunications BT Openreach plans show no apparatus in or immediately surrounding the Roseacre Wood exploration site. Plans show that BT does have underground plant in Roseacre Road serving the village of Roseacre approximately 350m to the north of the exploration site. The plans suggest this main follows Roseacre Road to the east and then southwards where it passes approximately 400m to the east of the exploration site.

2.2.5 MoD Communications Apparatus A series of Ministry of Defence (MOD) antenna masts are located approximately 750m to the east of the exploration site. These are part of the MoDs communication network and are located on the DHFCS Inskip site. The application includes for the potential to divert some HGV traffic through this area passing below existing (private) overhead communications cabling.

3 Existing Utilities (Monitoring Works)

The monitoring works have been located generally to avoid conflict with existing utilities networks. In addition, prior to the construction of these installations, Cuadrilla’s Contractor(s) will undertake a review of safe dig records to identify locations of any utility apparatus and define the exact location of a monitoring point which avoids any conflict (eg moving a meter or two to one side). Where working close to existing utilities infrastructure, relevant industry standard procedures and working practices for working near these assets will be followed.

4 Physical Impacts on Existing Utilities Networks from the Exploration Works

4.1 Protection of the Gas Main Enhancement of the existing access track is proposed in order to provide HGV access to the exploration site from Roseacre Road. As this track passes over the high pressure gas main, a concrete protection slab will be required to spread the load of HGV traffic al. The protection works will be designed and undertaken in accordance with National Grid’s publication “Specification for Safe Working in the Vicinity of National Grid High Pressure Gas Pipelines and associated installations – Requirements for Third Parties” (National Grid document T/SP/SSW/22, August 2007) Discussions are on-going between Cuadrilla and National Grid to confirm the details of the protection works required.

4.2 Protection of the MoD Communications Apparatus The planning application includes for the ability to direct some HGV traffic via the MoD’s DHFCS Inskip facility. Currently a 3.5m clearance is provided to these cables. To protect against potential damage, where the roadway passes below overhead cables, these cables shall be raised to provide a minimum of 5.4m headroom This will be achieved by extending the height of the poles supporting the cables. Discussions are on-going between Cuadrilla and the MoD to agree the details of protection works to the overhead cables,

4.3 Effects of Induced Seismicity Hydraulic fracturing of the wells forms part of the operation to extract shale gas. The hydraulic fracturing process has the potential to cause small seismic tremors [induced seismicity].

For the Roseacre Wood site and the surrounding areas, the mechanism of hydraulic fracturing and the risk of induced seismicity has been assessed in the Environmental Impact Assessment and is reported in the Environmental Statement (ES) accompanying the Planning Applications. In exceptional circumstances, hydraulic fracturing may induce a seismic event that can be felt at the ground surface. It is therefore considered prudent to assess the potential for ground borne vibrations to damage nearby utilities under these exceptional circumstances. This has been assessed using information from the Induced Seismicity chapter of the ES.

Considering the mitigation measures that will be implemented as part of the Project, a maximum magnitude seismic event induced by hydraulic fracturing operations is estimated to be approximately 1.5 ML. However, to mitigate against this risk, a “Traffic Light System” will be implemented to monitor seismicity and to ensure that hydraulic fracturing activities will be stopped and the well depressurised if vibrations are recorded which reach the pre-agreed trigger level (0.5 ML). This is discussed further in the Induced Seismicity chapter of the ES.

REP/230382-10/C002 | Issue |

Cuadrilla Elswick Ltd Temporary Shale Gas Exploration at Roseacre Wood, Lancashire Utilities Statement

It is considered that the source of an induced seismic event may be anywhere within the area defined by the red line drawing (see Planning Application drawings). This comprises an area which extends for approximately 2km west of the Roseacre Wood site. The minimum depth epicentre of an induced seismic event is likely to occur at approximately 1.95km depth (i.e. within the shale rock formations).

Based on the analysis of the ground motion hazard associated with hydraulic fracturing at the Roseacre Wood site, it is anticipated that a 1.5 ML induced seismic event could produce maximum ground motions at the surface in the region of 0.4 to 1.8mm/s (mean and 95 percentile/worst case values respectively). These vibrations will reduce with distance from the source location.

To put these values into context, Table B1 in BS 5228-2:20091 has been reproduced as Table 1 below presenting the response of humans to various levels of ground borne vibrations. It is noted that the maximum levels of vibrations anticipated for a 1.5 ML induced seismic event (0.4 - 1.8 mm/s) are around the level at which vibrations may be just felt by humans at the ground surface. It is noted that depending on the sensitivity of the environment (i.e. time of day, type of building) and the frequency of the vibrations, the response of humans may be greater or smaller.

Ground Response vibration ML [Peak Particle Velocity] (mm/s) 0.14 Vibration might be just perceptible in the most sensitive situations for most vibration frequencies associated with construction. At lower frequencies, people are less sensitive to vibration. 0.3 Vibration might be just perceptible in residential environments. 1.0 It is likely that vibration of this level in residential environments will cause complaint, but can be tolerated if prior warning and explanation has been given to residents. 10 Vibration is likely to be intolerable for any more than a very brief exposure to this level. Table 1 - Guidance on human response to construction vibration from BS 5228-2:2009.

BS5228-2:2009 states that, in the absence of specific criteria from the asset owners, services [utilities] should not be subjected to a maximum peak particle velocity (PPV) greater than 30mm/s. BS5228-2:2009 also states that a PPV of 30 mm/s gives rise to a dynamic stress which is equivalent to approximately only 5% of the allowable working stress in typical concrete constructions and even less in iron or steel.

Cuadrilla Elswick Ltd Temporary Shale Gas Exploration at Roseacre Wood, Lancashire Utilities Statement

National Grid guidelines for vibrations in the vicinity of high pressure gas mains2 state that pipelines shall be limited to a maximum PPV of 75mm/s for vibration inducing operations such as piling, demolition and/or blasting, to prevent damage to the asset.

Based on the assessment of induced seismicity and the predicted ground motions for a 1.5 ML event of 0.4 to 1.8mm/s, it is considered highly unlikely that the structural integrity of the gas main, HV electricity cables, UU water main or DHFCS Inskip utilities within the vicinity of the Roseacre Wood site would be damaged or affected by the ground motions associated with hydraulic fracturing at the Roseacre Wood site.

4.4 Vibrations from heavy plant

4.4.1 HGV movements Since the gas main is located within the site boundary and water and electricity mains and buried telecommunications cabling are present within Roseacre Road, National Grid, UU ENWL and BT Openreach should be contacted by the Contractors to confirm any specific protection measures which may be required whilst large plant is brought on to the site. However, since the water and electricity mains and the telecommunications cabling are installed in public highway subject to HGV loads, it is assumed that these utilities are located at depths in accordance with National Joint Utilities Group (NJUG) guidelines. Therefore it is not envisaged that any additional protection works will be required in the highway for normal road-going plant. Similarly, HGVs currently access through the DHFCS Inskip site. Any vibration from proposed development traffic along this route is therefore not considered to have an impact on existing MoD utilities. Cuadrilla should maintain close dialogue with DHFCS Inskip during their operations to confirm that the existing utilities are not being affected.

4.4.2 Vibration from Surface Activities within the Exploration Site Activities on the well pad, including vehicle movements, will cause ground borne vibration. The figure below compares the predicted maximum vibrations from induced seismicity (0.4mm/s to 1.8mm/s PPV) with vibration from various sources that might otherwise be present in a typical construction environment. For comparison purposes, Figure 1 includes vibration from a HGV passing over a 20mm surface defect, which may occur, for example, where there is a poorly reinstated trench. Other activities are those that might be required during highway maintenance works and some heavier engineering, including piling. Many of

Cuadrilla Elswick Ltd Temporary Shale Gas Exploration at Roseacre Wood, Lancashire Utilities Statement

these are likely to be used from time to time in the vicinity of buried utilities and other structures. The levels of vibrations created from construction operations and vehicle movements are in a similar order of magnitude as those which could be created by an induced seismic event. Compared to published guidance on the vulnerability of services, as described above, it is therefore be concluded that the utilities should not be affected by vibrations from heavy plant or machinery activity within the site.

5 Physical Impacts on Existing Utilities Networks from the Monitoring Works

There are no anticipated impacts on existing utilities from the installation or operation of the seismic monitoring works. Should it be required, the array point can be moved locally (ie by a metre or two) to avoid any impact on existing utilities networks.

6 Utilities Supplies to the Exploration Works

6.1 Electricity Electrical power is required on the Exploration Site during operational phases (mobilisation, hydraulic fracturing and flow-back testing) of the development. Due to the exploratory stage of the project, the electrical demand for the site will be met by on-site generators. A connection may be made to the electricity network to provide small power requirements to supply offices, welfare facilities, site lighting etc. This will be a low voltage connection which is not envisaged to impact significantly on the local network capacity.

6.2 Water Supply The principle water demands from the site are during the hydraulic fracturing operations. During other times, water will be required to support the drilling operation, site cleaning and welfare operations. The water demand during hydraulic fracturing operations is anticipated to be approximately 765m3 of water per day (a maximum of one hydraulic fracturing stage will be carried out in a single day). This water will be supplied from the United Utilities (UU) potable water network. UU have identified two potential points of connections; the 6” main in Roseacre Road or a larger trunk main located approximately 1.5km to the north of the site (see Appendix S of the ES for confirmation). UU have confirmed that the trunk main has the capacity to supply the Well Pad Site without restrictions. However, due to its distance, this is not the preferred point of connection. UU’s preferred point of connection is to the 6” main in Roseacre Road. UU have undertaken hydraulic modelling and confirmed that it should be possible to meet the 765m3/day demand for the majority of the time from this 6” main in Roseacre Road with minor enabling works. To ensure that supply can be maintained to other UU customers, UU propose to install a pressure sustaining valve (PSV) to ensure that the pressure in their network is maintained to meet their supply commitments to existing customers (principally local residential properties and farms). During times of high demand on the network, the PSV would function to limit flow to the Roseacre Wood site. In such a scenario, the valve operates automatically, such that when demand on the network falls (for example during the night) Cuadrilla would be able to draw flows at a higher rate. This restriction can be overcome by providing sufficient on-site storage such that storage tanks could be filled at times of low demand. In addition, the re-use of fracturing fluid and potential use of collected rainwater would help to reduce total water demand and hence the flow rate drawn from the UU mains network.

6.3 Foul Drainage Domestic foul drainage from site welfare facilities will be routed into temporary storage facilities on site which will then be periodically tankered to nearby wastewater treatment works. Therefore, no connection to a public sewer is required. Blackwater (toilet) and greywater (welfare) drainage will be kept separate.

6.4 Return Water Return waters refer to both ‘flowback fluids’ and ‘produced water’ returned after the hydraulic fracturing process. Flowback fluid is the proportion of the fluid used for fracturing operations which flows back to the surface on release of the pressure within the system. Flowback fluid can contain minerals, hydrocarbons and Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and is returned to the surface following well stimulation. Produced waters are waters present in geological formations that may be released during the extraction of gas. The produced waters may also contain minerals, hydrocarbons and NORM. Return waters from hydraulic fracturing and flow testing will be collected and disposed of at wastewater treatment facilities specifically licenced to treat this wastewater. The quantities of return waters from the operation of the proposed development have been confirmed to be within the capacity of the individual treatment facilities.

6.5 Other Waste Waters Rainwater collected on the site during the drilling and hydraulic fracturing process will be collected and removed from site via a tanker. This waste water will be disposed of at a suitably licenced wastewater treatment works. There will also be a requirement to deal with waste drilling water and drilling muds used and generated during the well drilling phase of the project. These will be recycled on site where possible and resulting wastewater will be tankered off site to a suitably licenced wastewater treatment works.

6.6 Gas For the Extended Flow Test phase of the works a connection to the gas grid will be made in order to discharge of gas yielded from the wells and to measure the change in gas flow rate over time. Connection will be made to the National Transmission System directly to the east of the exploration site. Consultation with National Grid has confirmed that this main has sufficient capacity to accept the likely gas flows that may be generated from the site. A connection would be made via a buried 150mm diameter steel or plastic pipeline from the site. Liaison with National Grid regarding the technical detail of this connection is on-going.

7 Utilities Supplies to the Monitoring Works

During construction of the Monitoring Works, power, water and communication requirements will be met by temporary generators, water bowsers and mobile phones. Surface Array (Traffic Light System) The surface array is a network of shallow buried seismic monitoring stations which comprise shallow pits (to a depth of approximately 0.5m below ground level) within which sensitive seismometers will be located. The installation of each surface array station will also include small junction boxes (glass reinforced plastic kiosks approximately 1.1m high and located between 1 to 3m from the seismometer). The surface array sites do not require any connection to permanent utility apparatus. They rely on mobile phone communication and battery operated equipment during operation to run the seismometer, data logging equipment, model and GPS units. Buried Array The buried array will comprise deep buried (up to a depth of approximately 100m below ground level) seismic monitoring stations containing seismometers. The surface treatment of these will comprise a small concrete pad or collar with an inspection cover mounted flush with the ground surface. The buried arrays sites do not require any connection to permanent utility apparatus. They rely on mobile phone communication and battery operated equipment during operation to run the seismometer, data logging equipment, modem and GPS units. Groundwater Monitoring Boreholes Boreholes will be sunk to allow water samples to be taken from underlying aquifers. The monitoring boreholes do not require any permanent utilities connections.

8 Conclusions

8.1 Exploration Works A 42” high pressure gas main has been identified crossing below the proposed access route to the exploration site. Protection works may be required to enable increased HGV movements above this main. This is likely to comprise a concrete relieving slab and Cuadrilla should liaise with National Grid to agree the details of these protection works.

As part of the project, connection to this gas main is also proposed facilitate Extended Flow testing of the wells. Cuadrilla is in discussion with National Grid regarding the details of these connection works.

Records show a 6” diameter UU potable water main running alongside Roseacre Road, approximately 400m to the east of the site. A 90mm diameter branch from the 6” main continues along Roseacre Road and through the village of Roseacre. It is proposed that water is supplied to the site from the 6” main subject to the installation of a Pressure Sustaining Valve to ensure that the supply to other UU customers is maintained.

Planning permission is also sought to route some HGV traffic through the MoD’s DHFCS Inskip facility. Existing overhead communications cabling along the proposed route should be raised in order to provide increased headroom (recommended 5.4m) for development traffic to pass underneath.

The risk of potential damage to utility networks from ground born vibrations is considered extremely low as predicted maximum ground motions at the surface in the region of 0.4 to 1.8mm/s are well below those of guidance thresholds which could result in damage. The principle electrical demand from the site will be met by on-site generators. Small power (electricity) and telecommunications supplies to offices, welfare units etc. will be met via connections to the local networks located in Roseacre Road.

Foul water and other waste waters will be tankered off site to appropriately licenced wastewater treatment facilities and no connection to public sewers is to be sought.

8.2 Monitoring Works There are no anticipated impacts on existing utilities from the installation or operation of the monitoring works. During construction of the monitoring works, power, water and communication requirements will be met by temporary generators, water bowsers and mobile phones.
