Summary
Construction and Decommissioning
Operation
The EIA concludes negligible adverse physical and chemical impacts to the water environment, during the construction, operational and decommissioning phases, which is not significant in EIA terms. The EIA concludes the potential for minor and negligible physical and chemical impacts to the local geology and hydrogeology during the construction, operational and decommissioning phases of the proposed amendments to Woodsmith Mine, which is not significant in EIA terms. The EIA concludes that during the construction phase, there will be a short-term, localised worsening of major adverse effects to close-range landscape and visual receptors. Minor beneficial effects are anticipated during the operational phase. The EIA concludes that whilst there will be minor adverse effects, overall, there will be a reduction in the magnitude and significance of adverse effects upon landscape and visual receptors during the construction stage. No significant adverse effects are anticipated during the operational phase. The EIA concludes that whilst there will be minor adverse effects, overall, there will be a reduction in the magnitude and significance of adverse effects upon landscape and visual receptors during the construction stage. No adverse effects are anticipated during the operational phase. The EIA concludes that the proposed amendments to the currently Approved Development do not introduce
