Dear Mr Warren 3 November 2017

Proposal: Submission of the Off-Site Water Monitoring Scheme in respect of the Fifth Schedule of the Section 106 Agreement attached to Planning Permission Ref: 1/15/01498/CDM - Development of a hydrocarbon wellsite and drilling of up to two exploratory hydrocarbon wells.

Location: Land off Springs Road, Misson

Applicant: Island Gas Limited

I write with regard to your submission of the Off-Site Water monitoring Scheme. I can confirm that the Off-Site Water Monitoring Scheme received by the Minerals Planning Authority (MPA) on 2 October 2017 in respect of the Fifth Schedule of the Section 106 Agreement attached to Planning Permission 1/15/01498/CDM is hereby approved, subject to the following matters:

(a) Should water levels in the Gresham Drain fall below 1.1m AOD, then an assessment of data relating to captured water volumes within the wellpad area shall be carried out to determine whether the drop in water levels in the drain is attributable to the loss of the wellpad area within the catchment area of the drain. The results of this assessment shall be used to recommend the level and timing of mitigation measures required, as detailed in section 7.1.3 of the Scheme. The assessment and identification of required mitigation measures shall be submitted to the MPA in writing within one month of water levels in the Gresham Drain being recorded as having fallen below 1.1m AOD. The mitigation measures shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details.

(b) The surface water data loggers shall be inspected and downloaded monthly for the duration of the development.

Yours sincerely

JONATHAN SMITH
