Executive Summary EED14171-101-R-2-1-8.-DM.docx
Executive Summary
Objectives
Waterman Energy, Environment & Design Limited (“Waterman”) was instructed by Crawley Borough Council (CBC) to undertake an Environmental Risk Assessment for a proposed cemetery at Pease Pottage (hereafter termed “the Site”). This included an intrusive site investigation. Due to the presence of ancient woodland the intrusive aspect of the investigation was limited to the central portion of the Site.
Site Setting
Current Use The Site comprises a large area of grass surrounded by woodland. There are two buildings located at the Site in the south-eastern corner, which are used for Scout activities. Two streams are present on the Site, located along the eastern and western site boundaries.
History
The Site has been undeveloped woodland or open grass land since 1879. In the 1980’s the Site was used as a scout camp. Surrounding land also comprised woodland and open grassland. Several clay, sand and gravel pits surrounded the site in the 1899 these were no longer marked on the 1912 ordnance survey map. By the 1980’s large scale development has occurred to the north of the Site.
Ground Conditions
The Upper Tunbridge Wells Formation – Mudstone is present underlying topsoil, this is subsequently underlain by The Upper Tunbridge Wells Formation – Mudstone and Sandstone. Made ground was not encountered on Site during the investigation.
Controlled Waters
The streams on the eastern and western boundary of the Site flow towards the north. These discharge in to a stream which feeds an attenuation pond located to the north of the Site. The Upper Tunbridge Wells Formations – Mudstone is classed as an Unproductive strata while The Upper Tunbridge Wells Formation – Mudstone and Sandstone is classed as a Secondary Aquifer. Groundwater depths on site were measured at between 6 to 7m below ground level. Groundwater flows towards the north east.
Ground Gas Regime
Ground gas monitoring indicated that natural soils on site were generating concentrations of 0.5 to 4.7% with associated depleted oxygen concentrations. Methane was not detected above the limit of detection.
Conceptual Model Potential pollutant linkages included the following:
impact of the cemetery on groundwater underlying the site and receiving surface waters
the impact of ground gas as a result of the decomposition process
risk to cemetery employees
Conclusions Risks to identified receptors are considered to be low. The characteristics of the subsurface conditions combined with the low contaminant loading result in a low risk to groundwater, similarly the risk posed by ground gas is considered low. The risk to site employees will be mitigated by adequate PPE and specific working procedures
Recommendations Staff working at the Site should be provided with adequate site specific PPE and follow site specific procedures in particular when excavating new graves or “reoperners” and when and if groundwater or perched water is encountered.
A standoff 30m should be maintained between burials and the drainage ditches.
As additional phases of the cemetery are brought in to use away from the currently investigated area, additional confirmatory boreholes should be undertaken to confirm ground conditions are consistent with the current investigation and corresponding risk assessment.
Environmental Risk Assessment 1
EED14171-101-R-2-1-8.-DM.docx
1. Introduction
1.1 Objectives
Waterman Energy, Environment & Design Limited (“Waterman”) was instructed by Crawley Borough Council (CBC) to undertake an Environmental Risk Assessment for a proposed cemetery at Pease Pottage (hereafter termed “the Site”).
This assessment follows the Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment prepared by Waterman in May 2014 (report ref. EED14171-100-R-1-1-3-OR) that covered a larger area of land that includes the proposed cemetery Site.
1.2 Regulatory Context
The Site is currently undeveloped and comprises a cleared area of land surrounded by established woodland.
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out Government planning policy for England and how this is expected to be applied to development. Paragraphs 120 to 122 of Section 11 – Conserving and enhancing the natural environment of the NPPF relate to contaminated land matters and state the following:
“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 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.
In doing so, local planning authorities should focus on whether the development itself is an acceptable use of the land and the impact of the use, rather than the control of processes or emissions themselves where these are subject to approval under pollution control regimes. Local planning authorities should assume that these regimes will operate effectively. Equally, where a planning decision has been made on a particular development, the planning issues should not be revisited through the permitting regimes operated by pollution control authorities.”
In order to assess the contamination status of the Site, with respect to the proposed end use, it is necessary to assess whether the Site could potentially be classified as “Contaminated Land”, as defined in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance 2012. This is assessed by the identification and assessment of potential pollutant linkages. The linkage between the potential sources and potential receptors identified needs to be established and evaluated.
To fall within this definition, it is necessary that, as a result of the condition of the land, substances may be present in, on or under the land such that:
Environmental Risk Assessment 2
EED14171-101-R-2-1-8.-DM.docx
a) significant harm is being caused or there is a significant possibility of such harm being caused; or
b) significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused, or there is significant possibility of such pollution being caused.
It should be noted that DEFRA has advised (Ref. Section 4, DEFRA Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance 2012) Local Authorities that land should not be designated as “Contaminated Land” where:
a) the relevant substance(s) are already present in controlled waters;
b) entry into controlled waters of the substance(s) from land has ceased; and
c) it is not likely that that further entry will take place.
These exclusions do not necessarily preclude regulatory action under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010, which make it a criminal offence to cause or knowingly permit a water discharge of any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter to controlled waters. In England and Wales, under The Water Resources Act 1991 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2009, a works notice may be served by the regulator requiring appropriate investigation and clean-up.
The Environment Agency (EA) guidance document “Assessing the Groundwater Pollution Potential of Cemetery Developments April 2004” (R&D Technical Report P2231) and EA briefing note CE65 were also considered as part of this assessment. These document aims to inform operators and local authorities on how to assess the potential risks to groundwater from new and existing cemetery development. These documents also provide information on the contaminant types and release rates from cemeteries. The documents promote a tiered approach to the potential impact of the cemetery to identified receptors.
Tier 1 comprises a desktop assessment where a preliminary site assessment take place. The details of the Tier 1 risk assessment are reported in Waterman Report EED14171-100.R.1.1.3.OR. A Tier 2 assessment is required when risks identified at the Tier 1 stage have not been clearly defined. A Tier 2 assessment comprises a more detailed assessment of the site including intrusive investigation. Tier 3 assessment is required where the risk remains undefined and for larger sites. This document represents a Tier 2 assessment with some aspect of a Tier 3 assessment included. The guidance also promotes the establishment of a baseline with respect to contaminants on site prior to its use as a cemetery. Current base line contaminants have been established as part of this assessment.
1.3 Constraints
The assessment was undertaken in accordance with the scope agreed between Waterman and CBC.
The benefit of this report is made to CBC.
The information contained in this report is based on the findings of the Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment (Report Ref. EED14171-100-R-1-1-3-OR), observations made on site, exploratory hole records, laboratory test results, groundwater monitoring and ground gas monitoring.
Constraints to the investigation include:
The location of woodland, services and dense vegetation, as well as the findings of an ecological walkover, placed constraints on the locations of boreholes. Therefore the intrusive investigation works were confined to the central portion of the Site.
The ground conditions reported relate only to the point of excavation and do not necessarily guarantee a continuation of the ground conditions throughout the non-inspected area of the Site. Whilst such exploratory holes would usually provide a reasonable indication as to the general ground conditions, these cannot be determined with complete certainty.

Waterman has endeavoured to assess all information provided to them during this investigation, but makes no guarantees or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of this information.
The scope of this investigation does not include an assessment for the presence of asbestos containing materials within or below buildings or in the ground at the Site.
The conclusions resulting from this study are not necessarily indicative of future conditions or operating practices at or adjacent to the site.

2. Procedures
This assessment has been undertaken in general accordance with the Model Procedures for Management of Land Contamination (Contaminated Land Report 11 – Environment Agency, September 2004) and the EA document Assessing the Groundwater Pollution Potential of Cemetery Development, April 2004.
The report includes the following:
outline Conceptual Model for the Site from Tier 1 Assessment;
results of Intrusive Ground Investigation;
confirmation of current baseline contaminant concentrations for soil and groundwater;
formulation of an up to date Conceptual Model for the Site;
assessment of risk associated with proposed cemetery in relation the updated conceptual site model based on a burial rate of 50 to 90 bodies per year for a duration of 50 years;
identification of potentially unacceptable risks; and
recommendations for further action.
This report forms a decision record for the pollutant linkages identified, assessment criteria used to determine risks, the unacceptable risks identified and the proposed next steps in relation to the site. The report also provides an explanation of the refinement of the outline conceptual model following the ground investigation, the selection of criteria and assumptions, the evaluation of potential risks and the basis for the decision on what happens next.

3. Outline Conceptual Model
The outline conceptual model of the Site developed in the Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment (EED14171-101-R-1-1-3-OR, May 2014) is reproduced below.
3.1 Site Setting
The Site comprises a large area of grass surrounded by woodland. There are two buildings located at the Site in the south-eastern corner, which are understood to be used for scout activities. Two streams are present on the Site. These are located along the eastern and western site boundaries and flow in northerly direction.
A site location plan and site layout plan are presented in Appendix A.
3.2 Summary of Site History
The Site has been undeveloped woodland or open grass land since 1879. In the 1980’s the Site was used as a scout camp. Surrounding land also comprised woodland and open grassland. Several clay, sand and gravel pits surrounded the site in the 1899 these were no longer marked on the 1912 ordnance survey map. By the 1980’s large scale development has occurred to the north of the Site.
3.3 Anticipated Ground Conditions
Table 1: Site geology Stratum Area Covered BGS Description
Upper Tunbridge Wells Formation - Mudstone
Partial areas of the Site.
Thinly bedded silty mudstones and siltstones are laterally persistent over long distances.
Upper Tunbridge Wells Formation - Mudstone & Sandstone
Partial areas of the Site.
Thinly bedded silty mudstones, siltstones, silty sandstones and fine-grained sandstones are laterally persistent over long distances. Sandstones, which form prominent scarp and dip slope features, are typically fine-grained and quartzose, weathering to a pale yellowish grey or brown colour.
3.4 Anticipated Hydrogeological and Hydrological Conditions
3.4.1 Surface Waters Two drainage ditches are present on the Site. These are located adjacent to the eastern and western boundaries and flow in northerly direction. Both issue to a larger stream which subsequently feeds an attenuation pond located approximately 900m to the north east of the Site. The attenuation pond discharges to the Broadfield Brook, which flows in a northerly direction.
There are no recorded surface water abstractions within a 1km radius of the Site.
According to the EA’s indicative flooding data, the Site is not located in an area of fluvial flooding/on a flood plain. There are no recorded flood defences in the area.
3.4.2 Groundwater According to the EA Groundwater Vulnerability Map, (Sheet 46, East Sussex), the geological deposits underlying the Site are classified as per Table 2 below:
Environmental Risk Assessment 6
EED14171-101-R-2-1-8.-DM.docx
Table 2: Summary of hydrogeological properties of the main geological strata Stratum EA Classification Hydrogeological Significance
Upper Tunbridge Wells Formation - Mudstone Unproductive Strata Contains insignificant quantities of vertically or
laterally extensive groundwater.
Upper Tunbridge Wells Formation - Mudstone & Sandstone
Secondary A Aquifer May be important in supporting local abstractions or in providing base flow to rivers and streams.
The Site is not located within a groundwater Source Protection Zone.
Based on available information, it is likely that groundwater flow will be in a northerly direction.
There are no recorded groundwater abstractions within a 500m radius of the site. There is one recorded Environmental Permit within a 500m radius, pertaining to sewage discharge into land via a soakaway and located 100m east of the Site.
3.5 Potentially Significant Pollution Linkages
In consideration of the proposed use of Site as a cemetery the following potential pollutant linkages were identified: Workers (gravediggers) may come into direct contact with potentially contaminated shallow soils as a
result of burials performed on site;
Migration of contaminants from burials performed on site entering underlying groundwater via migration through the soil; and
Potential ground gas migration from the Site.
Potentially significant linkages between contamination hazard sources and relevant receptors are summarised in Table 3

The intrusive investigation should confirm the presence of a groundwater body beneath the Site and, if so, whether this is in hydraulic continuity with down gradient streams.
The mudstone on areas of the Site may afford the surface and groundwater receptors protection against the lateral migration of contaminants.

Contaminants relating to the proposed use as a Cemetery
Vertical and lateral migration. High
The Site is not located in a groundwater SPZ. The intrusive investigation will confirm the hydrogeological site conditions and presence or absence of groundwater. Where a groundwater body is present, there is the potential for contaminants, arising from burials, to impact groundwater via vertical migration. The presence of mudstone may afford the aquifer protection against the lateral migration of contaminants. .

4. Methodology
The objectives of the investigation are as follows;
establish a baseline for the contaminants in the underlying soil and groundwater;
characterise the ground conditions; and
assess pathways for the migration of contaminants from the Site when in use as a cemetery.
4.1 Design of Investigation
The intrusive investigation was undertaken in general accordance with Eurocode 7, the Code of Practice for Site Investigation BS 5930 (1999) and the Code of Practice for the Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Sites and its Investigation BS 10175 (2001).
The Environment Agency (EA) guidance document “Assessing the Groundwater Pollution Potential of Cemetery Developments April 2004” (R&D Technical Report P2231) and EA briefing note CE65 were also considered as part of this assessment.
The design of this investigation was based upon the findings of PERA and the proposed end use of the site including associated guidance.
The scope of the works included the following:
4No. rotary boreholes drilled to approximately 10 to 11m below ground surface (bgs), collection ;
Collection of soil samples;
4No. falling head tests at depth of 3.5 to 5.5m and 1No soakaway test at a depth of between 0.5 and 1.0m;
Installation of boreholes to facilitate the monitoring of gas concentrations and groundwater levels and the collection of groundwater samples,
Undertake 3 ground gas and groundwater monitoring visits including collection of 2 sets of groundwater samples from installed boreholes
Appropriate contamination analysis of environmental samples to establish current baseline contaminants conditions; and
Ground gas monitoring to assess current baseline conditions.
Strategy for Selection of Exploratory Hole Locations
Sampling locations were carefully selected in order to establish a baseline for contaminants and characterise the hydrogeology of the site.
A summary of the investigation locations and features investigated is presented in Table 4: Ground investigation strategy

4.2 Quality Control
All samples collected during the work were despatched under a chain of custody procedure to i2 Analytical, who are a UKAS accredited laboratory, for subsequent chemical analysis. Where appropriate, samples were stored within cool boxes containing ice packs.
All contractors, including laboratories, used during this project have been approved by Waterman as a part of in-house Integrated Management System (BS ISO 9001, BS ISO 14001) procedure. This requires all third parties to demonstrate competence and a high standard of work during a regular audit scheme.
4.3 Health and Safety
All work carried out on site was in accordance with Waterman Group Health & Safety policy.

5.1 Soil Sampling
Representative soil samples were obtained from the exposed strata and sealed in one litre plastic tubs with airtight lids, phials and glass jars containing preservatives, as appropriate. The soil samples taken were subject to screening by a photo ionisation detector (PID).
All the exploratory holes were logged and sampled for contamination purposes by CC Ground Investigations Ltd.
Due to access and timing restrictions, and in agreement with Crawley Borough Council, it was decided not to advance borehole BH3. Instead, it was agreed that borehole BH5 would be extended.
5.2 Monitoring Wells
The drilling was carried out in such manner as to minimise the potential for cross-contamination between individual strata. On completion of drilling, a 50mm diameter slotted HDPE standpipe with gas tap and bung was installed in all of the boreholes to enable future ground gas and groundwater monitoring and sampling.
5.3 Groundwater Monitoring
Groundwater monitoring was carried out during three monitoring visits over a period of one month between 15 August and 12 September 2014.
Groundwater samples were obtained from the monitoring wells following purging of three well volumes. The collected water samples were then sealed into bottles with pre-measured fixatives where necessary, as supplied by the specialist laboratory, and transported in cool boxes or refrigerated for 24hrs prior to despatch to the testing laboratory.
A full set of groundwater monitoring results is presented in Appendix C

5.4 Ground Gas Monitoring
Ground gas monitoring was carried out during three monitoring visits over a period of one month between 15 August and 12 September 2014. On each of the monitoring visits, the peak and steady concentration readings of methane, carbon dioxide and oxygen were recorded at each installed monitoring standpipe, together with borehole gas flow readings and atmospheric pressure. This was undertaken using an infrared gas analyser, gas flow data monitor and flame ionisation detector. Groundwater levels were also measured on each visit.
A full set of ground gas monitoring results, including the model type and detection limits of the onsite equipment used for the fieldwork, is presented in Appendix C.

The EA guidance document Assessing Groundwater Pollution Potential of Cemetery Developments recommends that the baseline contamination status of groundwater underlying the site is collected. The collection of this data allows the result of future monitoring to be compared to pre cemetery conditions facilitating an assessment of the potential impact of the cemetery in the future.
The baseline contamination status of the soil underlying the site has also been assessed this allows current contaminant loading to be accounted for when assessing risk to the underlying groundwater bodies.

8. Detailed Quantitative Risks Assessment
Following completion of the investigation and a review of the proposed rate burial of 50 to 90 per year potential pollutant linkages have been identified. In order to assess the plausibility of these linkages a Tier 3 assessment including a Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (DQRA) was been carried out.
As part of the DQRA information used to update and confirm the Site’s Conceptual Site Model is presented in the following sections.
8.1.1 Hydrogeological Parameters of the Site
Groundwater parameters
During the investigation 8No. samples were subject to moisture content and bulk density analysis The results of these tests are presented in Table 11. Result are presented in Appendix C.

Groundwater flow gradients
The groundwater flow direction has been confirmed as north east and the calculated gradient is 0.06. The gradient line is shown on surfer plots in Appendix A. Given the groundwater depth this gradient represents groundwater flow in the Upper Tunbridge Wells Sands – Siltstone.
Permeability testing
Falling head tests were carried out in all boreholes, a soak away test was also undertaken. The results of these tests are presented in Appendix C and are summarised in the following table.

* A permeability value was not calculated for the soak-away test as sufficient drainage did not occur for a successful test. This is obviously a function of the impermeability of the clay at this location. The BGS indicates that clay and siltstone can have a permeability of less E-07.
8.2 Controlled Water Receptors
As detailed in Section 3.4 there are drainage ditches present along the eastern and western boundaries of the Site. There are no surface water abstractions with in 1000m of the site and no groundwater abstractions with 500m of the Site. The Site is not within a Source Protection Zone (SPZ).
The Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand – Mudstone is classed as an unproductive stratum and is present between a thickness of 0.45m and 3.15m. The Upper Tunbridge Wells Sands – Sandstone and Mudstone is classed as a Secondary A aquifer and may support local stream. The controlled water receptor is considered to be groundwater within the secondary aquifer that feeds locals streams.

8.2.1 Determining Cemetery Contaminant Loading Information contained with the EA guidance document and the proposed burial programme provided by Crawley Council was used to determine an approximate contaminant loading caused by the cemetery during its life span. Using this the potential impact to the surrounding controlled waters can be assessed.
Information from Crawley Borough Council indicates that the number of burials required will be approximately 50 to 90 per year. The life of the cemetery is expected to be 50 years. Based on EA guidance for conventional burials a density of 1976 graves per hectare is anticipated.
It is understood that the cemetery will be brought in to use in phases. The total area of the cemetery is approximately 5ha with up to 90 burials proposed per year over a time period of 50 years.
EA guidance indicates that 50% of contaminants are released from a decaying corpse in the first 12 months and that the amount of contaminants released decreases by 50% year on year. After 10 years the amounts of contaminants realised are considered no longer significant. To establish the impact to the underlying and local controlled waters the burial rate has been analysed to determine the maximum cumulative grave area that will be leaching ‘contaminants’. This area has been calculated as 2268m2. It should be noted that in line with EA guidance burial of ashes has been excluded as these are considered to be inert from a contamination perspective.
Also following a review of information from the Snell Hatch Cemetery as provided by Crawley Borough Council a significant number of “reopeners” burials take place every year. This information has been taken into account when determining an average burial per plot.
The relevant parameters for calculating the ‘contaminant’ loading that may arise from the cemetery are presented in Table 13.

9. Assessment of Risk to Groundwater from Leachate
The EA guidance provides a list of the main elemental components of a 70kg body. To assess the potential impact to groundwater as a result of the Site’s use as a cemetery Lead will be used as an indicator species given its toxicity to the aquatic environment. EA guidance indicates that 0.12g of lead is present in a 70kg body.
At an average rate of 1.5 burials per plot this equates to 0.18g. At an infiltration rate of 1000mm a year the lead leachate concentration for the first year would be 0.09mg/l, half the total amount of leachable lead. The concentration of the leachate decreases quickly with time, as is demonstrated in Figure 1
Figure 1: Leachate concentration following the first 10 years of burial based on EA Guidance document.
Therefore the average leachate concentration during the 10 year duration is 0.018mg/l this marginally exceeds the EQS of 0.0072mg/l. This average leachate concentration can also be applied to the cemetery over its life time and is representative of leachate concentrations coming from the whole cemetery.
9.1 Using RTM to Assess Down Gradient Impact of Leachate
The potential down gradient impact of leachate from the cemetery can be assessed using the Environment Agency’s Remedial Targets Methodology (RTM) works sheets.
RTM is a fate and transport model that assesses the impact of a specific contaminant to a down gradient receptor. The methodology is based on a tiered risk assessment, with the level of analysis and detail increasing at each stage. A source-pathway-receptor analysis determines the impact to the receptor on a site specific basis.
Given the approximate leachate rate from a grave over a 10 year period an option is to model the impact of the cemetery as if it was a single spill event with a declining source. The RTM model will be run based on the entire ‘contaminant’ loading entering the ground at once and will assume burials take place at a depth of 3.0m The variant option setting in the RTM model will be used to assessed the impact of the contaminant loading after 1 year, 10 years and 100 years.

This approach is conservative as in reality the cemetery will be brought into use in phases over a period of 50 years. Therefore as some graves begin to leach their ‘contaminants’ others will be coming to the end of the leaching process. In reality the intensity of the contaminant loading will be considerably lower than modelled. It is acknowledged however that whilst the intensity is lower, the time over which leaching occurs will in reality be longer. In terms of modelling however the importance of intensity of contaminant loading is considered to be greater than the length of time of on-going release. Consequently the model will be run with the leachate concentration at 0.018mg/l to represent average leachate concentration.
The most conservative scenario is based on a burial taking place in the Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand – Sandstone and Mudstone. This is considered conservative as a mudstone horizon has also been encountered on areas of the Site within the proposed burial depths.
The input criteria for the RTM are presented in Table 14.

9.1.1 Output of the RTM Model The outputs of the RTM model indicated that after 1 years, 10 years and 100 years lead concentrations above the EQS would not be present at the compliance point. The RTM model indicates that concentrations above EQS of 0.0072mg/l are only detected at a distance of 30 from the source after the model has been set to run for approximately 10,000 years. Given these time scales the impact of contaminant loading on groundwater off site and receiving stream is considered not to be significant.
If the RTM model is run at a steady state setting the concentration at the compliance point is 0.017mg/l demonstrating minimal decrease in contaminant loading however in reality the contaminant mass balance in the system would prevent this from occurring.

With respect to burial depth the model showed that this did not have a significant impact on the outcome of the results.
The Remedial Target Methodology worksheet is presented in Appendix G.
9.1.2 Conservatism in the RTM Model The RTM model assumes that contaminant concentrations in pore space water at the source of contamination remain unchanged regardless of the thickness of the un-impacted unsaturated zone between the contaminant source and groundwater table. Therefore in the case of a cemetery the impact of the unsaturated zone beneath the burial is not fully considered.
The RTM was run as if all burial space would be used in one event as opposed to gradual use over 50 years.
The model has been run with a saturated aquifer thickness of 3m, this corresponds with the deepest groundwater measured and the termination of the borehole at 10m. It is likely that the thickness of the saturated aquifer is greater than this.
The assessment has been completed on the basis of conventional burials. Natural burials which take place at a shallower depth and have a corresponding greater unsaturated depth and at a lower space density, have not been taken into account.
9.2 Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde remains commonly used in the embalming process for approximately 50% of burials. According to EA guidance 180g of formaldehyde can be used in a single embalming. In the first year following burial 90mg/l of formaldehyde is expected to be present in leachate. This is expected to reduce by 50% year on year. Although the KOC formaldehyde is relatively low (1.567- USEPA) the half-life in groundwater ranges between 2 to 14 days (USEPA). As a result formaldehyde is considered not to be persistent in the environment and therefore does not pose a risk to the surrounding environment at the rates of discharge expected from the proposed cemetery.
9.3 Assessment of Risk from Biological Pathogens
Borehole logs indicate that the Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand – Sandstone and Mudstone comprises inter-bedded siltstone, sandstone and mudstone. The EA guidance document indicates that where groundwater flows through material such as sandstone the porous nature of the material increases the filtration of micro-organisms. The geology encountered beneath site comprised clay silt and sandstone horizons. Where present fractures were described as being extremely close to medium spaced and some are described as filled with clay. There was an absence of large fractures which may act as preferential pathways for the movement of pathogens.
Environment Agency Memorandum CEM 56 confirms that for cemeteries with a burial rate of less than 200 per year the risks from microbiological contaminants are believed minimal as these organisms have a short lifespan and/or are filtered by soil and aquifer material.
Therefore based on the proposed burial rate, geology and the unsaturated zone of between 3 to 4 meters the risk posed to off-site controlled water from microbial pathogens is considered low.

9.4 Assessment of Risk from Ground Gas
Ground gas monitoring on Site has indicated carbon dioxide concentrations of between 0.5 to 4.7 %. Depleted oxygen was also recorded. Risks posed by ground gases generated as a result of decomposition process is not considered significant for the following reasons.
A low burial rate is proposed approximately 50 to 90 per year therefore the input of an organic source capable of generating ground gas is also low. Of a 70kg body mass 16kg comprises carbon.
There will be a general absence of buried structures, slabs or service ducts which typically contribute to the migration and collection of ground gas. The grass or woodland surface of graves will encourage dispersion of the ground gases to the atmosphere as opposed to migration via surround soils. In areas where burials take place in mudstone or clay the ability of ground gases to migrate will be significantly impeded.

10. Conclusions
Following updating the Conceptual Site Model and carrying out the DQRA the impact of the cemetery on identified receptors is considered to be low.
It should be noted however the investigation was limited to the accessible areas of the Site and did not include areas currently occupied by woodland. However geological maps indicate the underlying geology is unlikely to change significantly over the site area. As the cemetery expands over the following decades additional site investigation may be required to confirm ground conditions and in turn the applicability of this assessment to the remainder of the Site.
Environmental Risk Assessment
25 EED14171-101-R-2-1-8.-DM.docx
11. Recommendations
Staff working at the Site should be provided with adequate site specific PPE and follow site specific procedures in particular when excavating new graves or “reoperners” and when and if groundwater or perched water is encountered.
A standoff 30m should be maintained between burials and the drainage ditches.
As additional phases of the cemetery are brought in to use away from the currently investigated area, additional confirmatory boreholes should be undertaken to confirm ground conditions are consistent with the current investigation and corresponding risk assessment. If ground conditions significantly vary, an updated risk assessment should be undertaken.

Notes:
1. Contaminants leaching from graves not significant in terms of impact to groundwater or off site waterbodies.
2. Absence of buried structures and services ducts that typically contribute to collection of ground gas.
3. Grass or woodland grave surface will encourage dispersion of ground gas to atmosphere as opposed to migration through undisturbed soil.

Appendix E Environmental Receptors
The Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance has a four category system that considers harm to human health, controlled waters, flora and fauna, property, livestock and crops. The Categories are broadly defined as follows:
1 Contaminated Land – similar to land where it is known that significant harm has been caused or significant harm is being caused
2 Contaminated Land – no significant harm being caused but there is a significant possibility for significant harm to be caused in the future
3 Not Contaminated Land – there may be harm being caused but no significant possibility for significant harm to be caused in the future
4 Not Contaminated Land – no pollutant linkage, normal levels of contaminants and no significant harm being caused and no significant possibility for significant harm to be caused in the future.
Table E.1: Significant pollution to controlled waters
Pollution of controlled waters
Under Section 78A(9) of Part 2A the term “pollution of controlled waters means the entry into controlled waters of any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter or any solid waste matter. The term “controlled waters” in relation to England has the same meaning as in Part 3 of the Water Resources Act 1991, except that “ground waters” does not include water contained in underground strata but above the saturation zones. (Paragraph 4.36)
Given that the Part 2A regime seeks to identify and deal with significant pollution (rather than lesser levels of pollution), the local authority should seek to focus on pollution which: (i) may be harmful to human health or the quality of aquatic ecosystems or terrestrial ecosystems directly depending on aquatic ecosystems; (ii) which may result in damage to material property; or (iii) which may impair or interfere with amenities and other legitimate uses of the environment. (Paragraph 4.37)
Significant pollution of controlled waters
Paragraph 4.38 states that “The following types of pollution should be considered to constitute significant pollution of controlled waters:
(a) Pollution equivalent to “environmental damage” to surface water or groundwater as defined by The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009, but which cannot be dealt with under those Regulations.
(b) Inputs resulting in deterioration of the quality of water abstracted, or intended to be used in the future, for human consumption such that additional treatment would be required to enable that use.
(c) A breach of a statutory surface water Environment Quality Standard, either directly or via a groundwater pathway.
(d) Input of a substance into groundwater resulting in a significant and sustained upward trend in concentration of contaminants (as defined in Article 2(3) of the Groundwater Daughter Directive (2006/118/EC)5)”.
Paragraph 4.39 states that “In some circumstances, the local authority may consider that the following types of pollution may constitute significant pollution: (a) significant concentrations6 of hazardous substances or non-hazardous pollutants in groundwater; or (b) significant concentrations of priority hazardous substances, priority substances or other specific polluting substances in surface water; at an appropriate, risk based

EED14171-101-R-2-1-8.-DM.docx
compliance point. The local authority should only conclude that pollution is significant if it considers that treating the land as contaminated land would be in accordance with the broad objectives of the regime as described in Section 1 (of the Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance). This would normally mean that the authority should conclude that less serious forms of pollution are not significant. In such cases the authority should consult the Environment Agency”.
The following types of circumstance should not be considered to be contaminated land on water pollution grounds:
(a) The fact that substances are merely entering water and none of the conditions for considering that significant pollution is being caused set out in paragraphs 4.38 and 4.39 above are being met.
(b) The fact that land is causing a discharge that is not discernible at a location immediately downstream or down-gradient of the land (when compared to upstream or up-gradient concentrations).
(c) Substances entering water in compliance with a discharge authorised under the Environmental Permitting Regulations.
Significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused
In deciding whether significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused, the local authority should consider that this test is only met where it is satisfied that the substances in question are continuing to enter controlled waters; or that they have already entered the waters and are likely to do so again in such a manner that past and likely future entry in effect constitutes ongoing pollution. For these purposes, the local authority should:
(a) Regard substances as having entered controlled waters where they are dissolved or suspended in those waters, or (if they are immiscible with water) they have direct contact with those waters on or beneath the surface of the water.
(b) Take the term “continuing to enter” to mean any measurable entry of the substance(s) into controlled waters additional to any which has already occurred.
(c) Take the term “likely to do so again” to mean more likely than not to occur again.
Land should not be determined as contaminated land on grounds that significant pollution of controlled waters is being caused where: (a) the relevant substance(s) are already present in controlled waters; (b) entry into controlled waters of the substance(s) from land has ceased; and (c) it is not likely that further entry will take place. Significant Possibility of Significant Pollution of Controlled Waters
In deciding whether or not a significant possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters exists, the local authority should first understand the possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters posed by the land, and the levels of certainty/uncertainty attached to that understanding, before it goes on to decide whether or not that possibility is significant. The term “possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters” means the estimated likelihood that significant pollution of controlled waters might occur. In assessing the possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters from land, the local authority should act in accordance with the advice on risk assessment in Section 3 and the guidance in this sub-section.
In deciding whether the possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters is significant the local authority should bear in mind that Part 2A makes the decision a positive legal test. In other words, for particular land to meet the test the authority needs reasonably to believe that there is a significant possibility of such pollution, rather than to demonstrate that there is not.
Before making its decision on whether a given possibility of significant pollution of controlled waters is significant, the local authority should consider:
Environmental Risk Assessment Appendices
EED14171-101-R-2-1-8.-DM.docx
(a) The estimated likelihood that the potential significant pollution of controlled waters would become manifest; the strength of evidence underlying the estimate; and the level of uncertainty underlying the estimate.
(b) The estimated impact of the potential significant pollution if it did occur. This should include consideration of whether the pollution would be likely to cause a breach of European water legislation, or make a major contribution to such a breach.
(c) The estimated timescale over which the significant pollution might become manifest.
(d) The authority’s initial estimate of whether remediation is feasible, and if so what it would involve and the extent to which it might provide a solution to the problem; how long it would take; what benefit it would be likely to bring; and whether the benefits would outweigh the costs and any impacts on local society or the environment from taking action

Table E.2: Significant harm to human health, ecological systems and property
Relevant types of receptor Significant harm Significant possibility of significant harm
Human beings The following health effects should always be considered to constitute significant harm to human health: death; life threatening diseases (eg cancers); other diseases likely to have serious impacts on health; serious injury; birth defects; and impairment of reproductive functions. Other health effects may be considered by the local authority to constitute significant harm. For example, a wide range of conditions may or may not constitute significant harm (alone or in combination) including: physical injury; gastrointestinal disturbances; respiratory tract effects; cardio-vascular effects; central nervous system effects; skin ailments; effects on organs such as the liver or kidneys; or a wide range of other health impacts. In deciding whether or not a particular form of harm is significant harm, the local authority should consider the seriousness of the harm in question: including the impact on the health, and quality of life, of any person suffering the harm; and the scale of the harm. The authority should only conclude that harm is significant if it considers that treating the land as contaminated land would be in accordance with the broad objectives of the regime as described in Section 1 of the Contaminated Land Statutory
The risk posed by one or more relevant contaminant linkage(s) relating to the land comprises: (a) The estimated likelihood that significant harm might occur to an identified receptor, taking account of the current use of the land in question. (b) The estimated impact if the significant harm did occur – i.e. the nature of the harm, the seriousness of the harm to any person who might suffer it, and (where relevant) the extent of the harm in terms of how many people might suffer it. In estimating the likelihood that a specific form of significant harm might occur the local authority should, among other things, consider: (a) The estimated probability that the significant harm might occur: (i) if the land continues to be used as it is currently being used; and (ii) where relevant, if the land were to be used in a different way (or ways) in the future having regard to the guidance on “current use” in Section 3 of the Contaminated Land Statutory Guidance.

Guidance. (b) The strength of evidence underlying the risk estimate. It should also consider the key assumptions on which the estimate of likelihood is based, and the level of uncertainty underlying the estimate.
Any ecological system, or living organism forming part of such a system, within a location which is:
a site of special scientific interest (under section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981 (as amended) and Part 4 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communitites Act 2006 (as amended));
a national nature reserve (under Section 35 of the WCA 1981 (as amended));
a marine nature reserve (under Section 36 of the WCA 1981 (as amended));
an area of special protection for birds (under Section 3 of the WCA 1981 (as amended));
a “European site” within the meaning of regulation 8 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended);
any habitat or site afforded policy protection under Section 11 of The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) on conserving and enhancing the natural environment (i.e. possible Special Areas of Conservation, potential Special Protection Areas and listed or proposed Ramsar sites); or
any nature reserve established under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.
The following types of harm should be considered to be significant harm:
harm which results in an irreversible adverse change, or in some other substantial adverse change, in the functioning of the ecological system within any substantial part of that location; or
harm which significantly affects any species of special interest within that location and which endangers the long-term maintenance of the population of that species at that location.
In the case of European sites, harm should also be considered to be significant harm if it endangers the favourable conservation status of natural habitats at such locations or species typically found there. In deciding what constitutes such harm, the local authority should have regard to the advice of Natural England and to the requirements of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended).
Conditions would exist for considering that a significant possibility of significant harm exists to a relevant ecological receptor where the local authority considers that:
significant harm of that description is more likely than not to result from the contaminant linkage in question; or
there is a reasonable possibility of significant harm of that description being caused, and if that harm were to occur, it would result in such a degree of damage to features of special interest at the location in question that they would be beyond any practicable possibility of restoration.
Any assessment made for these purposes should take into account relevant information for that type of contaminant linkage, particularly in relation to the ecotoxicological effects of the contaminant.

other serious physical damage. The local authority should regard a substantial loss in value as occurring only when a substantial proportion of the animals or crops are dead or otherwise no longer fit for their intended purpose. Food should be regarded as being no longer fit for purpose when it fails to comply with the provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990. Where a diminution in yield or loss in value is caused by a pollutant linkage, a 20% diminution or loss should be regarded as a benchmark for what constitutes a substantial diminution or loss.

question, taking into account relevant information for that type of contaminant linkage, particularly in relation to the ecotoxicological effects of the contaminant.
Property in the form of buildings. For this purpose 'building' means any structure or erection and any part of a building, including any part below ground level, but does not include plant or machinery comprised in a building, or buried services such as sewers, water pipes or electricity cables.
Structural failure, substantial damage or substantial interference with any right of occupation. The local authority should regard substantial damage or substantial interference as occurring when any part of the building ceases to be capable of being used for the purpose for which it is or was intended. In the case of a scheduled Ancient Monument, substantial damage should be regarded as occurring when the damage significantly impairs the historic, architectural, traditional, artistic or archaeological interest by reason of which the monument was scheduled. The Guidance states that this description of significant harm is referred to as a 'building effect'.
Conditions would exist for considering that a significant possibility of significant harm exists to the relevant types of receptor where the local authority considers that significant harm is more likely than not to result from the contaminant linkage in question during the expected economic life of the building (or in the case of a scheduled Ancient Monument the foreseeable future), taking into account relevant information for that type of contaminant linkage.

Appendix F Generic Assessment Criteria for Contorlled Waters
Controlled Waters Generic Assessment Criteria The Screening Values adopted by Waterman for ground and surface water quality have been selected on the basis of the water quality standards that apply at the controlled water receptor considered to be at potential risk of harm. Where the receptor is to be assessed for potential harm to aquatic life then the Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) for List 1 and List 2 dangerous substances (EC Dangerous Substances Directive (76/464/EEC)) will be used. Where the receptor is to be assessed for potential harm with respect to use as a drinking water resource then the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 1989 and 2000 as amended will be used. Where the receptor is to be used by aquatic life and for drinking water purposes both sets of criteria will be used. The standards for the substances tested for in this investigation are provided in Table D3 and D4 below.

Note: 'Relative concentration' is the ratio of calculated concentation at a given position compared to the source concentration. The calculations assume plume disperses from the top of the aquifer. An alternative solution assuming the centre of the plume is located at the mid-depth of the aquifer is presented in the calculation sheets.

Dear Mr Hutchings PRE-APP ENQUIRY FOR GROUND CONTAMINATION ADVICE FOR CRAWLEY CEMETERY, PEASE POTTAGE GIRL GUIDE CAMP, SOUTH OF TOLEGATE HILL DIPPEN HALL EASTBOURNE ROAD, BLINDLEY HEATH, LINGFIELD, RH7 6JX. Thank you for approaching us to review the preliminary risk assessment for Crawley Cemetery. As we agreed, our Groundwater & Contaminated Land officer has reviewed the information. I can confirm that we would not object to the submission provided the recommendations below are addressed to provide clarity and demonstrate that scenarios are considered. We confirm receiving the following reports both written by Waterman, Preliminary Environmental Risk Assessment, dated May 2014, and the Environmental Risk Assessment dated October 2014. The site is located on the Upper Tunbridge Well Sand which is designated a secondary aquifer. It is estimated that between 50-90 burials will taken place per year for approximately 50 years. Three rounds of groundwater monitoring has taken place between 15th August to 12th September 2014. We note that the site investigation was restricted to areas of the site which were accessible. Care should be taken to ensure the groundwater level is accurately understood across the proposed burial area. The topography seems to vary across the site which could affect the depth to groundwater.

We have the following comments on Section 9 within the Environmental Risk Assessment, which assess the risk to groundwater from leachate: In section 9 within the Environmental Risk Assessment we would recommend further clarification is provided to outline the reason why lead was chosen as the indicator. The lead leachate for the first year has been calculated, but the cumulative impact over the first 10 years of operation should also be investigated. We would seek the maximum lead concentration in that is predicted in this timeframe. These concentrations should be compared to the Environmental Quality Standard (EQS). We also recommend that a sensitivity analysis is undertaken on the burial rate to see how it affects the leachate concentrations. RTM has been used to assess the impact of the leachate on groundwater. A declining source was chosen, but this will only be relevant once the burials have ended. Whilst the cemetery is operating the source term remains constant. We would seek clarification if this would this impact the results. Lastly, we note that RTM was modelled with an average leachate concentration of 0.018mg/kg. It is not clear if a sensitivity analysis been undertaken to investigate the impacts on the groundwater when a range of concentrations, from the maximum to average, is tested in the model. We would recommend this as best practice. We would not object in principal to a cemetery at this location as long as it can be demonstrated that the cemetery would not impact on the groundwater quality. It is also recommended that graves should be located more than 10m from a standing/running water and more that 50m from a well, borehole, or spring supplying potable water for human consumption. I hope this helps provide a clear direction. If you have any questions regarding the above points I would be happy to discuss.

Frank Heely, Sustainable Places Team Leader, Orchard house Endeavour Park, London Road, Addington, West Malling, Kent, ME19 5SH. Dear Frank, Re Assessing the Pease Pottage site for use as a cemetery. Thank you for the time taken to review our report assessing the Pease Pottage site for use as a cemetery. We have reviewed the comments set out in your letter, dated 30 January 2015, and have addressed each point below. Following reviewing the letter we hope you will be in a position to agree that the proposed use of the site as a cemetery will not pose a significant risk to controlled water receptors. Use of lead as an indicator. As part of the assessment the Environment Agency (EA) guidance document, “Assessing the Groundwater Pollution Potential of Cemetery Developments”, was reviewed to understand the leaching process from burial plots. As mentioned in our report lead was chosen as an indicator due to its toxicity to aquatic life, which is reflected by the low EQS concentration of 7.2ug/l. The total mass of lead in the body as reported in the EA guidance is 0.12g. This is higher than for copper (0.07g), cadmium (0.05), nickel (0.01g) and uranium (0.00009g) which are also included in the guidance document. The EQS for copper and nickel are hardness dependent. The CaCO3 concentrations were determined as part of groundwater monitoring. At the concentrations detected, the EQS for copper would range from 22ug/l to 40ug/l and the EQS for nickel would range from 100ug/l to 150ug/l. Therefore the starting leachate concentrations of for copper and nickel would either marginally exceed or be less than the respective EQS. Considering this it is more conservative to assess lead. For cadmium the EQS is 5ug/l, however given the lower starting mass in the human body, assessing lead is also considered to be a more conservative approach. Other compounds detailed within the EA guidance would not exceed their respective leachate EQS values within the first year and are considered to not pose a risk. Assessment of a continuous source As set out in our report, during each operational year, 90 burials will occur in an annual plot of 227m2. Over 10 years, the human body decomposes and releases by leaching the complete loading of lead (and all other identified components). In the first year after burial, 50% of the lead is leached, 25% in the second year, 12.5% in the third year and so on until by the 10th year, negligible quantities of lead remain for leaching. Each operational year, another 90 bodies are buried and the components commence leaching. After 10 years have passed, the first year’s burials contain negligible quantities of lead and hence no longer contribute to leached lead. Therefore during the bulk of the operational phase, although 10 annual burial plots are leaching varying concentrations of lead, taken together, a steady state is achieved and during the operational phase a continuous source is present.

Examination of the leaching profile shows that maximum leaching from a 10 year area occurs at the 10th year. Within a 10 year plot area the most recent year is leaching the highest concentration. As the leaching profile moves to the 11th year the leachate concentration from the first year’s burials become negligible. The burials of the 11th year then leach the highest concentration of contaminants. Therefore the leaching profile in the above red box is maintained from the 10th year of operation until nine years before the cemetery closes. For the final nine years of operation, the leachate concentrations will tail off. The table shows the concentrations at the receptor during each year assuming a continuous source divided into 10 annual plots. This indicates that the lead concentrations are above the threshold criteria from four out of 10 annual plots. The table also shows that an individual grave no longer leaches concentrations above the EQS after the fourth year. It is also important to consider the retardation factor calculated by the RTM model when assessing the risk. The RTM sheet calculated a Retardation Factor (RF) of 2.33E+05 for lead. This corresponds with contaminant movement of 4.95E-06 m/day. In order to determine how long the contaminant takes to reach the compliance point the RTM model was run using a declining source. This indicated the time taken for lead contamination to reach the compliance point would be greater than 10,000 years. Given these time scales it is considered that the heavy metal contaminants introduced by burials are not significant in terms of impact at the compliance point. A compliance point 50m was assumed in accordance with GP3. The drainage ditches on the site are too shallow to receive groundwater having being installed to receive surface runoff.
EED14171-101-C-003-FA.docx Page 3
Sensitivity analysis Soil Water Partition value (KD) Sensitivity analysis was carried out on the KD of lead. The KD value used in the assessment was 4970l/kg. The USEPA1 report that for more acidic soils a KD of 900l/kg can be recorded. When the assessment was run using this KD value the travel time rose to 2.73E-05 m/day. However the travel time to the receptor remained considerable at more than 3,000 years. Even with a lower KD value the impact is considered not significant. KD vales for copper and nickel and cadmium range between 2 and 4 orders of magnitude resulting in travels times to the receptor of similar time frames as lead. Burials per plot and lead mass The current assessment assumed 1.5 burials per plot with a lead mass of 0.12g per burial. The assessment was also carried out assuming 2.0 burials per pot and lead mass of 0.15g per burial. The starting mass of lead is 0.30g, this equates to a 1st year leachate concentration of 0.15mg/l. The results indicated the concentration reaching the receptor, assuming a continuous source, was 0.147mg/l in the first year after burial. With the increased burial rate and lead mass the travel time to the receptor reduced marginally but remained considerable at more than 2,800 years. Even with the increased burial rate and reduced KD vales time scales remain considerable, therefore we consider the risk to be not significant. The increase starting mass did result in the fifth year’s leachate concentrations being above the EQS. In reality is it unlikely that two burials will take place at the same time in one plot. Also as the leachate concentrations decrease KD values of surrounding soil increase which will reduce the contaminant travel times further. Further site investigation and assessment We agree further site investigation is required as the cemetery expands. The purpose of the additional investigation would be to demonstrate that conditions are similar to those on which this assessment are based. We are also in agreement that if the life of the cemetery is extended or the number of plots per year are proposed to be increased additional assessment is likely to be required. We hope that the points and questions raised in your letter have been adequately explained and that you are now in a position to agree that the proposed use of the site as cemetery does not pose a risk to controlled waters. A meeting to discuss the issues covered in this letter is welcome if you think it would be beneficial. In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding the above.
