Environment Policy 8
ENV8 requires protection of aquatic habitat and species. The condition was imposed pursuant to this policy to ensure works adjacent to the River Neb include a scheme limiting impacts on fish populations. The submitted details, confirmed by DEFA Fisheries, were assessed as sufficient to meet this requirement.
pleased to confirm that the information satisfies the relevant clauses
information adequately addresses the requirements of the condition as outlined within both Section 18 consents. I see no need for additions or amending. The applicant must pass methods statements for Department input before works begin.
DEFA Fisheries Directorate granted Section 18 consents for riverbed works related to condition 16 of PA 23/01407/B, subject to detailed conditions to protect fish populations in the River Neb, including salmon, trout, and eels.
Key concern: potential impacts to threatened salmon and protected trout/eels in the Neb River fishery
DEFA Fisheries Directorate
Conditional No ObjectionI am pleased to inform you that DEFA is willing to issue consent subject to the following conditions; Having met with the project management and contractors on site, proposed controls of surface water are deemed adequate, with daily monitoring required to ensure these measures are effective. If ineffective, further mitigating controls must be employed
Conditions requested: This consent is only valid for the period 10th March 2025 to 30th September 2025 inclusive (the “specified period”); From the 10th March 2025, the gravel removal/movement must only be carried out within the specified locations shown in the methods statement (agreed by Inland Fisheries on Thursday the 6th February 2025). Sediment control must be in place before works begin.; During the specified period the removal of material from the Laxey River within the contractor working area (defined in the methods statement), must only take place in the period of time between 7.00am and 7.00pm (without prior permission).; Only the methods stated in your original application are permitted to be used for removal/movement of gravels. For works that may come about at a later date, methods statements will be required and agreed on by DEFA Fisheries, before works can proceed.; All plant and equipment will be removed from the channel each working day.; Ensure DEFA Fisheries are notified to carry out fish removals before development of utilities crossing the millrace as fish inhabiting the raceway must be removed from the working area before work begins.; The working area is effectively isolated, ensuring continuous river water flows below the working area at all times.; Place effective sediment controls below the working area to control pollution entering the Neb River and millrace and ensure NO direct pumping of contaminated water from the works to any watercourse at any time, nor any filtered or dried sediment to be disposed of in any watercourse. Fisheries Division ask that all surface water is pumped to the filter/run off drain at its highest point to allow dirty water the greatest amount of filtering before reaching the "silt buster" before allowed to enter the Neb River.; Harmful substances toxic to aquatic life (such as unset concrete) are isolated within the working area and do not enter the watercourse.; If evidence of negative impact on fish becomes apparent, material removal/movement works must be suspended immediately at the request of DEFA. The Department may remove this suspension and allow material removal/movement works to re-commence, once a review of methods has been completed and any changes to the methods have been implemented to the Department’s satisfaction.
