CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
APPENDIX I
PROTECTED SPECIES MANAGEMENT PLAN

1.

INTRODUCTION

This plan forms one of a series of discipline plans which, collectively, form the Construction
Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the A477 St Clears to Red Roses Improvement.
(Project)
These plans shall be implemented throughout the construction phase of the works for the
Project. They form part of the site management procedures as defined in the Project Quality
Plan.
This plan provides procedures for the management of protected species within the permanent or
temporary works areas during construction. This plan does not cover invasive species as
separate plans cover these elements. A separate plan is also provided for unexpected protected
or rare species.
2.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

The Environmental Statement (ES) and Statement to Inform Appropriate Assessment (SIAA) for
the Project included a detailed assessment of existing third party information on the ecology of
the area. It also contained significant surveys for specific protected and rare species over a multiyear period. These surveys continued in 2011 and 2012.
As part of the ES and the SIAA the potential impact on protected species was identified. This
included:
Loss of two Badger main setts and closure of a number of outlier setts. Severance of
badger foraging areas.
Loss of two bat roost trees and severance to foraging areas (NB following publication of
the ES one of the two bat roost trees was removed by a third party);
Loss of reptile habitat;
Effects on otter; and
Potential effects on nesting Goshawk.
Surveys in advance of site clearance have identified the presence of dormouse on the site.
Mitigation is being provided for badgers (for which a licence application to close setts will be
made), dormouse and bats (European Protected Species Licenses have been applied for to
permit impacts on dormouse and the remaining bat roost). A method statement has been
prepared to cover reptile capture and relocation. Method statements have been provided to
minimise impacts on otter and goshawk.
The location of all protected species have been shown on the Site Clearance drawings (16454-H200-01 to 015)) which show (for instance) the location of badger setts and bat roosts within the
Permanent and temporary works areas. In addition, the Existing Vegetation Design (16454-H3000-01 to 015) shows some of these features.

3.

PROCEDURES

The appendices to this plan found in Appendix P contain the following:

1. A copy of the Badger license (to be appended when received);
2. A Badger Method statement;
3. A copy of the dormouse license (to be appended when received);
4. A dormouse Method statement;
5. A copy of the Bat License (to be appended when received);
6. The bat method statement;
7. The otter method statement;
8. The Goshawk method statement; and
9. The reptile method statement.
The main procedures for the avoidance of impacts on, and protection of protected species are
contained within each of the method statements. Each method statement shall be enacted on site
as, and when, required. Most notably this will be during site clearance, erection of boundary
fencing, erection of the temporary crossing of the Afon Hydfron, construction of the embankment
across the Afon Taf and Afon Hydfron floodplains and construction of the new flood alleviation
culvert. The roles and responsibilities for the implementation of the protected species method
statements are given below.
As part of the main landscape and ecological design, the ES identified a range of ecological
mitigation to be implemented to reduce impacts on the site ecology, and to enhance the
ecological value of the final design. This included:
Creation of landscape and ecological mitigation areas in isolated plots of land adjacent to
the main alignment;
Creation of new habitat alongside the main alignment;
Movement of existing lichen and bryophyte habitat;
Translocation of 1200m of important hedgerows;
Construction of two artificial badger setts
Construction of two artificial otter holts;
Erection of bat and bird boxes (including in/on new structures);
Erection of deadwood;
Erection of artificial refugia and log piles.
The Environmental Co-Ordinator shall ensure that mitigation identified in the Commitments
register (from the ES and SIAA) is included in the detailed design and implemented/constructed
on site. As part of the detailed design, the Project ecologist shall identify the ecological objectives
for the landscape planting scheme and will document these, along with a timeline showing when
these objectives are likely to be achieved.
The Environmental Clerk of Works and the Environmental Co-Ordinator shall ensure that
temporary mitigation is included in the detailed design and implemented and maintained on site
during construction.
As a summary Appendix I1provides programming information in relation to protected species
present in the project footprint or vicinity.

MONITORING SURVEY AND ACTIONS

5.1

Coverage

The Plan covers all areas of temporary and permanent works. The Plan covers known protected
species (bats, dormouse, badger, goshawk, otter and reptiles) at known locations. Should these

species be identified elsewhere within the permanent or temporary works during construction, the
Environmental Clerk of Works will instigate the unexpected species plan and undertake an initial
review. Thereafter, the method statements attached to this plan and the EMP drawings will be
updated and a suitable action plan prepared by the Environment Clerk of Works with advice from
the Project Ecologist.
Should protected species not identified in this plan, and for which no method statement is
currently available, is detected, the Unexpected Protected or Rare Species Management Plan
shall be implemented (Appendix O).
Should protected or rare species be seen in the immediate area of the works, but off site, this
information should be passed to the Environmental Clerk of works who will define any actions
thought to be required. In most instances this will only comprise recording of the information (the
boundary protected species fences should minimise access to the site by protected and rare
species.
5.2

Identification of Protected and Rare Species

All Employees shall be given tool box talks. The talks will revolve around a series of simple to
remember actions:
1. If any employee on site identifies a plant or animal they believe to be protected or rare,
and they are not marked on the environmental management plans, they are to report this
to the Environment Clerk of works immediately;
2. The site supervisor should be informed and he will stop works in the area the species is
located;
3. Under no circumstances should suspected protected or rare species be picked up,
moved or disturbed by site employees, even where they appear to be injured or in
trouble.
4. The Environmental Clerk of Works will visit the location of the find as soon as possible
and inform site staff of the appropriate measures required.

5.3
