5.6.5.7 Reinstatement 425. The onshore cable route, CCSs and all temporary work areas and access roads would be reinstated with the stored topsoil and subsoil following trenching. If necessary, the subsoil would be ripped prior to topsoil placement if compaction had occurred. Topsoil would be spread in such a way as to ensure that it did not become compacted.


426. Following reinstatement of soil and subsoil, final restoration would commence where possible. Pasture and arable land would be reseeded, fences would be reinstated and suitable hedgerow species replanted. Hedges and any replacement planting would be carried out during the first appropriate planting season following site restoration. In ecologically sensitive areas special restoration may be necessary.


427. The location of cables would be marked with marker posts at field boundaries. These would be visible from the ground and all marker posts would be located to minimise interference with agricultural activities. The final stage in the cable construction process once reinstatement was established would be the removal of the temporary fencing. Plates 5.8 and 5.9 show images of reinstated cable routes.
