1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

The Corrib Field Development Project, being developed by Shell E&P Ireland Ltd, is a gas fieldlocated in 350 m of water some 60 to 65 km off the County Mayo coastline. The field will bedeveloped as a long-range sub sea tieback to an onshore facility. The gas will then be treated tomeet the defined gas specification before onward transportation to the Bord Gais Eireann (BGE)grid via a new cross-country pipeline.

The sub sea facilities will consist of a manifold with cluster wells, together with a number of satellitewells. The pipeline system comprises flexible flow lines from the satellite wells to the manifold, andan export line to shore. This 83km 20-inch sub sea pipeline from the manifold makes a landfall atBroadhaven Bay in County Mayo, and thence a further 9km onshore pipeline leads to the terminal.An electro-hydraulic umbilical system will parallel the pipeline system, and a water outfall pipeline

will also run from the terminal to a diffuser offshore.

The Work covered by this document includes the installation of a nominal 20-inch diameter pipelineand multicore umbilical system from the landfall at Glengad Headland to the new Terminal.Additionally, a nominal 8 inch diameter polyethylene outfall pipeline runs from the Terminal to apoint approximately 12km offshore.

Tideway (TW) has been awarded the subcontract for trench dredging, pipeline pull-in and trenchbackfilling 2005. The trench will have a depth of 3m below seabed and will have a width of 3 m.The nearshore trench, from 200m offshore until 1400m offshore, will be dredged by a backhoedredger and a splithopper barge. The backhoe dredger, a spudlegged pontoon mounted excavator,will excavated the material and deposit in the splithopper barge. The splithopper barge will sail to

an underwater stockpile within the wayleave and deploy the material, using GPS positioning, untilre-dredging for backfill purposes. A section of approximately 180 m rock will be fractured usingmechanical rock breakers. Two long reach excavators, mounted on a spudlegged self-elevatingplatform, equipped with hydraulic rock hammers will fracture the rock layer by layer. After fracturingthe backhoe dredger will dredge the material. Upon pipeline installation the materials will be re-dredged and backfilled at their originate position.The intertidal section, 200m offshore to cliff face, will be excavated by land-based excavators. Atemporary causeway will be constructed at the north side of the proposed trench and the excavatorwill excavate the trench. During the 2002 works the rock material was fractured so the requirementfor mechanical rock fracturing does not exist. The cliff will be excavated and separate soil layersencountered will be stockpiled separately and netted to prevent birds nesting. Upon pipelineinstallation the temporary causeway will be removed, the trench will be backfilled and the cliff will

be reinstated.Upon trench completion a steel wire will be laid and connected to the offshore pipelay vessel. Thepipeline will be pulled ashore using a linear winch. Upon pipeline position acceptance the completetrench will be backfilled and reinstatement will be completed.

1.2 Scope

This Environmental Management Plan details all the environmental aspects and impactsassociated with this contract such as waste management, pollution prevention and protection offlora and fauna, with an emphasis on the sensitivity of the Glenamoy Bog Complex SAC and theBroadhaven Bay SAC. The Impacts register (Appendices 3 and 4) provides the framework foridentifying the potential environmental impacts generated by construction and the associated

works. The Environmental Operational Control Procedures and activity specific method statements(ref: TW-MS-001 -007) detail the working methods necessary for managing and mitigating theseimpacts, whether it is by prevention or amelioration. Prior to construction activities taking place the


5/76


Environmental Operational Control Procedures will be updated to conform to precise site-specificrequirements at the Glengad Headland. They are intended to be stand-alone documents

Two Environmental method statements are in place in relation to works within the two SACs withinthe working area; Glenamoy Bog Complex and Broadhaven Bay. These documents describe theoffshore and landfall construction activities for the shore approach of the pipe line (ref: TW-EMS-001, TW-EMS-002).

This Environmental Management Plan has been based on the principles of the ISO 14,001standard. As the project progresses the Environmental Management Plan will be reviewed andrevised to include any changes and improvements made during the Works.

7.5 Waste Management

Waste will be managed through the following measures:

Covered lockable skips, bins and barrels will be position on site at Glengad Headland and atBallyglass to contain all waste (described below) generated during the works.

All staff will be made aware of their responsibility to dispose of all waste as described in thisprocedure.

ONSHORE

General waste

All reasonable steps will be undertaken to minimise the volume of wastes generatedthroughout the works.

All waste will be stored within the Yard until such time that is taken away by the projectappointed authorised Waste Contractor.

Separate skips will be used for the storage of timber, metal and general waste.

All skips will be covered.

All waste will be transported and disposed of by McGrath Waste Disposal (Castlebar)to an Authorised waste disposal facility.

Contaminated waste

Contaminated waste such as used spill kits and oily rags etc will be stored in clearlylabelled UN approved steel drums sealable metal barrels, as provided by Atlas IrelandLimited, who are also responsible for the disposal of the contaminated wastes to theirlicenced facility.

Hazardous waste

Hazardous wastes, such as aerosol cans, will also be stored in clearly labelled UNapproved steel drums as provided by Cara Waste Management who are responsible

for the disposal of these hazardous wastes to a suitably licenced facility.

Sewage waste

Sewage and wastewater will be stored in a fully contained steel holding tank which willbe located behind the welfare facilities at the Glengad Headland site. This tank will beemptied as necessary by Walsh Waste Disposal (Galway) who are responsible for thedisposal of the effluent to Bangor Erris Wastewater Treatment Plant.

OFFSHORE

All waste will be segregated and stored in specific covered containers on the vessels

in the same manner as all onshore wastes. Offshore wastes will be brought off vesselsat the pier and stored in covered lockable skips and barrels, awaiting collection fordisposal by the Waste Contractors mentioned above.


15/76


Sewage and wastewater will be stored in temporary holding tanks.

Recording

Every movement of waste will be accompanied by a Controlled Waste Transfer Note and/or

C1 Document.

See Appendix 5 (EP 301 Waste Management).

7.6 Monitoring

The environmental concerns identified in the Aspects and Impacts Register will be controlledthrough the adherence to the Environmental operational control Procedures, Method Statementsand COSHH/MSDS recommendations.

The project will be monitored by daily and weekly site inspections of work activities and internalaudit reports.

The Environmental Advisor will also carry out regular noise monitoring onsite and at sensitivereceptors such as local residences prior to and during the work.

Water monitoring of a nearby stream will be carried out when flow is detected as this only occurs intime of heavy rainfall.

A long term and continual ecological survey has been put in place by the Client, part of whichincludes cetaceans, habitats, birds and other fauna.

The Environmental Advisor will assess the need for further monitoring.

See Appendix 5 (EP 104 Monitoring and measuring).

7.7 Internal Audits and Inspections

These procedures apply throughout the construction period of this project.

2.0 PURPOSE

The objective of this Procedure is to outline the reporting of environmental concerns andincidents. TW is committed to a policy of continual improvement. A programme will bedeveloped to review and implement beneficial change, incorporating both short and long-termperspectives. This has to be based on quantifiable and objective data collected from the sites;which is why the reporting procedure is a fundamental prerequisite to measuredimprovement. For the reporting procedure to be used effectively a change in traditionalattitude is necessary. Reporting is not to be viewed as a negative activity to be avoided, butas a positive and crucial contribution to the continual improvement of our industry. This

viewpoint will be transmitted to the whole workforce during training sessions.


All personnel working out on the pipeline will be made aware of the significance of theReporting procedures and will assist their Foremen with relevant observations.The Foremen are responsible for completing the Foremans Log on a daily basis and giving itto the Works Manager at the end of each day.The Works Manager is responsible for checking or implementing the corrective action.The Project Manager is responsible for all liaison with the ClientThe Environmental Adviser is responsible for completing Incident and Complaint Forms,closing out corrective actions and communicating with the Company and the Client.

4.0 PROCEDURE

All Foremen will keep Logs. These will be used for the daily recording of ALL environmentalincidents, occurrences and observations. They will include:

All spillages and leaks, however minor,

Silt run-off and pollution

Wildlife and Stock presence on site

Landowner and Public complaints

Maintenance work required

Road Condition

Unsafe conditions

Near misses

The date, location, description and any cleaning up action taken will be recorded. Thisinformation/sheet will be passed to the Works Manager and Environmental Advisor. TheEnvironmental Advisor will assess the magnitude and seriousness of the incident.In the case of a serious incident such as a large oil/diesel spill on land or at sea; the Companyand the Client will be informed immediately who will in turn liase with all third partiesconcerned. Incident forms will also be completed and forwarded to the Company and theClient.In the case of minor incidents the Environmental advisor will record the information on daily andsubsequent weekly checklists which will be duplicated filed and passed on to the Company andthe Client.

The Logs from all the Foremen and the Environmental Incident Forms will be summarised forthe monthly Progress meeting.

This procedure applies to ALL plant brought onto the site, irrespective of ownership.

2.0 PURPOSE

The objective of this Procedure is to provide specific instruction and guidelines for theacceptance, inspection and maintenance of all plant and equipment that is brought onto thesite. The same programme is to be used for TW, Sub-Contractor and Hired Plant. Thisprocedure is designed to enable TW to meet the required standards it has set itself forpollution prevention and control.


The Procurement Officer is responsible for ordering plant for the project.

The Safety Advisor is responsible for auditing this programme.The Environmental Advisor is responsible for auditing this programme.The Lifting Gear and Plant Co-ordinator is responsible for implementing this programme andmaintaining the appropriate records.

4.0 PROCEDURE

The Procurement Officer orders the Plant required for the project. The Assistant Procurement Officer records the Plant as it enters the Yard and

immediately passes a copy of the record to the Lifting Gear and Plant Co-ordinator. The Lifting Gear and Plant Co-ordinator makes a check of the Plant, including any

associated paperwork/calibration certificates, and completes the Plant, Machinery andEquipment Checklist.

The Checklist is a unique record for one piece of Plant only, and is treated as aclearance Permit for that piece of Plant to be used on site. They are held in the SiteDocument Control room.

The Lifting Gear and Plant Co-ordinator puts a visible mark on the piece of Plant toindicate that it has been passed for use. This is useful as a quick check on site to ensurethat all Plant has been included in this procedure.

The Lifting Gear and Plant Co-ordinator transfers the unique Plant number to a list whichis the basis of the regular Plant Maintenance Checklist.

When machinery is off-hired or removed from site the Assistant Procurement Officerinforms the Lifting Gear and Plant Co-ordinator who deletes it from the PlantMaintenance Checklist

The Environmental Adviser and the Safety Advisor audit this procedure monthly. Repair to equipment and machinery carried out on site will be done in accordance with

best practice. This will involve; qualified personnel, the use of spill trays and spill kits,work at designated workshop area (if possible). Strict adherence to the pollution controlprocedures will be enforced.

POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL - ONSHORE

Rev D1

ep 201_rev d1_pollution prevention and control - onshore f1 Page 1 of 2


These procedures apply to all activities that could result in a pollution incident on land with particularattention being paid to a nearby minor watercourses at Glengad Headland due south of the trenchexcavation, These procedures are effective from the first presence on site and throughout theconstruction period of this project. All activities will be conducted in such a manner as to

Prevent adverse environmental impacts to the Glenamoy Bog Complex SAC and the nearbyBroadhaven Bay SAC

Ensure mitigation measures are implemented for non-preventable environmental impacts

Reinstate/restore, as far as is practicable, the environment to its pre-project state

2.0 PURPOSE

The objective of this Procedure is to fully describe the actions necessary to prevent a pollution incidentonshore including watercourses. It also describes the mitigation measures that will be implemented

should there be such an occurrence.

3.0 RESPONSIBIL ITIES

Al lpersonnel have a legal responsibility to ensure that ground and water will not be contaminated.Pollution is a prosecutable offence, for an individual as well as a company.All personnel are responsible for following the clean up procedures should contaminants spill or leakonto the ground or into a watercourse.The Foremen are responsible for assessing the magnitude of the spill and acting according to theEmergency Procedures described in the Flow Chart (See Fig1).The Foremen are responsible for ensuring any spill or leak is reported in the Foremans Log and copiedto the Works Manager and the environmental advisor.The Environmental Advisor is responsible for advising on any subsequent action and completing theReporting Procedures.

The Works Manager is responsible for implementing any corrective action.

4.0 PROCEDURE

Pollution prevention is dependent on the strict adherence to waste managemnt and storage andbunding procedures. The most likely pollutants on site are diesel, oil, hydraulic fluid, cement and alimited range of job specific chemicals. The potential for small spills and leaks is high on a constructionsite. To limit their environmental impact the following precautions will be in place:

All staff will be given a comprehensive environmental induction prior to commencing work. Thiswill place an emphasis on the nature of the Glenamoy Bog Complex SAC and the BroadhavenBay SAC; and the sensitive ecosystems therein.

Regular toolbox talks will also be given based on specific tasks and the related environmentalhazards.

A high priority will be given to using equipment such as pumps and generators with integral DripTrays. Small leaks and spills of oil and diesel will then be contained without their mixing withlarge amounts of rainwater. (All of which is then a Hazardous Waste and expensive in time andmoney terms to dispose of)

There will be sufficient clean up material (spill kits) on site to cope with all forseeable small andmedium size spills.

An Emergency 24 hour call out number for oil spill clean up specialists is held on site tofacilitate a rapid response in the event of a major incident, where additional pollution controlequipment may be required.

All site vehicles will carry a Spill Kit.

Extra spill kits and bags of granules will be stored at areas of high risk, such as refuelling points.

Refuelling will be carried out by designated persons only.

Fuel Bowsers will be double hulled (to prevent leaks) and lockable. Storage tanks will not be located near any watercourse.

Refuelling will not take place within 10m of a minor watercourse, or near top soil storage piles..


51/76


POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL - ONSHORE

Rev D1

ep 201_rev d1_pollution prevention and control - onshore f1 Page 2 of 2

Plant maintenance will only be carried out with a drip tray under the work area and with

adequate spill kit material to hand. All Foremen will hold a copy of the Emergency Procedure (Onshore) on site.

All inert, contaminated and hazardous waste must be segregated to a designated labelled skip(covered) or sealable metal barrel for subsequent disposal.

All oils and job specific chemical will be stored in a covered, lockable, steel bund.

In the case of excavation work particular attention will be paid to the prevention of silt run-offinto watercourses and the nearby Broadhaven Bay SAC with the use of straw bales andgeotextiles.

If a spill or leak should occurs the Emergency Procedures (See Fig 1) will be implemented immediately.These are summarised as follows:

STOP-

By turning off machinery and valves, blocking leaks and placing a containerbeneath leaks

CONTAIN - by using granules and spill kits, or inert material such as sand or earth, diggingtrenches and using absorbent pads, booms or skimmers.

NOTIFY- The foreman and the Environmental Advisor will be informed of all spills. TheEnvironmental Advisor will then assess the incident and either inform the Company and theClient immediately (large spill) or record the incident as part of a weekly report. The Client willthen notify the appropriate third parties.

DIPOSE - Bag all contaminated materials and dispose of it in the yard in the appropriatecontainer.

REPORT - all pollution incidents will be assessed by the environmental advisor who will theninitiate corrective action to prevent a repeat occurrence.

These procedures apply to all activities that could result in air pollution, from the first presence onsite and throughout the construction period of this project. All activities will be conducted in such amanner as to:

Prevent adverse environmental impacts to the Glenamoy Bog Complex SAC and the nearbyBroadhaven Bay SAC

Ensure mitigation measures are implemented for non-preventable environmental impacts

Reinstate/restore, as far as is practicable, the environment to its pre-project state

2.0 PURPOSE

The objective of this Procedure is to fully describe the actions necessary to prevent air pollution.


Al lpersonnel have a legal responsibility to ensure that the air is not contaminated. Pollution is aprosecutable offence, for an individual as well as a company.The Foremen are responsible for ensuring plant is maintained.The Environmental Advisor, or his designate, is responsible for advising on any subsequent actionand completing the Reporting ProceduresThe Works Manager is responsible for implementing any corrective action.

4.0 PROCEDURE

Emissions that can pollute the air can be exhaust fumes from plant and machinery, fumes fromchemicals, coatings and solvents or mechanical processes, dust and grit generated by siteoperations. The following procedures will be put in place to reduce the impact of such emissions:

All staff will be given a comprehensive environmental induction prior to commencing work. Thiswill place an emphasis on the nature of the Glenamoy Bog Complex SAC and the BroadhavenBay SAC; and the sensitive ecosystems therein.

Regular toolbox talks will also be given based on specific tasks and the related environmentalhazards.

All plant used on site will be in good operative condition. Exhaust emissions from all plant will bereduced as much as possible by effective and regular maintenance.

Plant and generators will be switched off when not in use.

Care will be taken to ensure that no emissions can percolate into excavations by removing thesource from the immediate area. Where such risks occur, adequate ventilation or forced air flowswill be installed.

During prolonged periods of dry weather, dust may cause a nuisance to local residents and

damage vegetation and animal habitats. For major dust control on the working width, a watersprinkling system will be used as necessary. Adequate P.P.E. will be provided for personnelworking in these environments.

A 10 m.p.h. speed limit will operate on the working width to reduce excessive airborne dust duringdry spells.

Haul lorries carrying dusty loads will be covered.

Road cleaning services will be provided by the Client to remove potential dust sources fromtransport routes.
