Netting would be used either side of the working area in the watercourse, fish would be removed from the working area and placed down stream. If appropriate electrofishing would be undertaken by a qualified individual in consultation with the Environment Agency.


188


All watercourses and ditches would be maintained in effective working condition across the full working width for the duration of the works, and would be restored to a condition at least as good as before the commencement of the works.


189


Construction methods would take into consideration plant and animal life, upstream and downstream of the crossing, and would be in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Construction Practice.

Terrestrial Invertebrates Baseline


Detailed baseline relating to Terrestrial Invertebrates is provided in Volume 3, Section 24.5.2.21 of the Environmental Statement. Overall the majority of the Onshore Cable Route comprises arable fields of low negligible invertebrate interest. Thirteen sites were identified as having higher ecological value including at the landfall. Important Terrestrial Invertebrate Areas are identified on Figure 24.1 of the ES. Further information and figures relating to the survey are included in Appendix 24.9 of the ES.


14.2 191 14.3 Pre-construction Survey


Mature trees highlighted as suitable for Stag Beetles would be identified during the arboriculture survey and retained where possible.


Additional mitigation Pre-construction


192


Measures would be undertaken to minimise impacts on terrestrial invertebrates by aiming to reduce habitat damage. This would be achieved through having a minimum 5m standoff from boundary features at Construction Consolidation Sites where feasible. This would specifically negate any impacts in Terrestrial Invertebrate Area A (see Environmental Statement, Volume 3, Chapter 24).
