3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Land Use Site history Environmental setting Contamination Mining Ground Gas The site is irregular in shape and is currently occupied by agricultural fields with hedgerows and a steeply graded densely wooded section of ancient woodland. Since the site boundary is extensive, there are various items of interest including Scotch Gill Burn located within the steep sided and dense woodland on the eastern boundary as well as the River Wansbeck on part of the southern boundary. The remainder of the site boundaries include agricultural fields to the north and hedgerows beside the A1 (west) and B6343 to the southwest. The site has remained agricultural farmland since 1863, with no major changes noted to have occurred on site. It is known that the A1 was constructed in 1968 within a deep cutting adjacent to the western site boundary, crossing the river Wansbeck to the south of the site. Geological information indicates the majority of the site to be underlain by Glacial Till. However, along the route of the River Wansbeck and Scotch Gill Burn, both River Terrace and Alluvium deposits have been recorded. The solid deposits comprise the Stainmore Formation which includes cyclical alternations of sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, thin limestone and occasional coal seams. No landfills recorded within 250m. The nearest watercourses are Scotch Gill Burn located on the eastern boundary and the River Wansbeck on the southern boundary. In addition, the historical plans have also highlighted the presence of several Issues on site which feed in to Scotch Gill Burn. The underlying solid deposits are classified as a Secondary A Aquifer with the majority of the superficial deposits being unproductive strata. However, since both River Terrace and Alluvium deposits are also present, these deposits also classified as a Secondary A Aquifer. There are no licensed groundwater abstractions within 1km. However, there are Surface and Potable Water Abstractions Licences recorded 120m to the southeast. One discharge consent is recorded on site associated with Lancaster Park Sewage Pumping Station. However, as it is recorded directly on top of the site boundary, it may in fact be located off site and this is just a mapping error. In addition, there are a further 14 recorded within 250m but none associated with the site itself. Radon protection measures are not required for future developments. There are no Local Authority Pollution and Prevention Controls within 250m of the site. Based on the site history and walkover survey, it is considered that the site presents a low environmental risk with respect to contamination. The Coal Authority record no coal workings or seams located below the site and is stable with respect to mining. Ground gas risk from made ground on site is considered low due to no historical development having been recorded on site. However, since there is the potential for Alluvial deposits on site (i.e. organic clays, peat, etc.), there is a potential, although considered low for ground gas generation from these deposits /DS ii Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

4 Foundations Ground Investigation It is likely that the majority of the site will be suitable for shallow strip or trench fill footings founded in the natural Glacial Till deposits. Since variable drift deposits may be present in the south and east associated with the water features, varied depths and types of foundations may need to be utilised, although this will depend upon the type and location of any proposed developments. Foundation depths should also take into account of the presence of trees and hedgerows in close proximity to any proposed development. A ground investigation is required to confirm the site conditions. This should include as a minimum: trial pits and/or mini-percussive holes, gas monitoring installations, geotechnical and chemical laboratory analysis. If poor ground conditions are identified (i.e. silt, peat, etc.) or if multi-storey developments are proposed, deeper cable percussive boreholes may also be required to provide information for potential piled foundations /DS iii Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

5 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 3e Consulting Engineers Ltd (3e) were commissioned by Mitford Estate to carry out a Phase I Geo-Environmental assessment of land at Lancaster Park, Morpeth. This report highlights ground related environmental and geotechnical considerations in relation to the proposed construction of a mixed use development on the available land. 1.2 The objectives of this assessment were: To establish the historical development of the site and surrounding area. To establish the environmental setting of the site. To assess the potential impact of subsurface mining on the proposed development. To determine if historical or current activities could give rise to significant ground or groundwater contamination. To assess the potential for hazardous ground gas. To determine the potential risks posed by contamination arising from historical or current activities on or in the vicinity of the site. 1.3 To this end the study has included a site visit, an inspection of historical maps, a review of environmental data held on publicly available registers and other sources as indicated within the report. 1.4 This report presents the factual information available during this appraisal, interpretation of the data obtained and recommendations relevant to the scope of works outlined above. It has been assumed in the production of this report that the site may be intended to be developed for mixed end use, consisting of the following: Motorway Service Area including but not limited to: o o o o o Truck Stop. Petrol Filling Station. Hotel Accommodation. Games/Leisure Area. Associated Retail Uses /DS 1 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

7 2 THE SITE Location and Description 2.1 The site, centred on National Grid Reference , is located approximately 1.5km west of Morpeth town centre and covers an area of approximately 43 hectares, as shown on Figure The site is located on agricultural farmland and Scotch Gill Nature Reserve located within the Wansbeck Valley, west of Morpeth. The site gradually slopes to the south, down towards the River Wansbeck. The ground within the forested area of the Scotch Gill Nature Reserve (southeast) steeply slopes down to the stream from the residential housing estate and agricultural fields; Scotch Gill Burn is a minor tributary of the River Wansbeck. 2.3 The site is irregular in shape with the A1(M) located adjacent to the western boundary of the site. The eastern boundary of the site is located on the Scotch Gill stream which is the current ward boundary. The area surrounding Scotch Gill Burn is located within the Scotch Gill Nature Reserve, an area of steeply sloping woodland. The southern boundary is located beside the B6343 and the River Wansbeck 2.4 A site walkover was conducted on the 17 th October 2013, during the walkover little evidence of contamination was encountered in relation to the current agricultural fields and woodland. 2.5 Photographs of the site are included as Figure /DS 3 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

8 3 SITE HISTORY In order to establish the site s history, an inspection of historical maps dating between 1863 and 2012 obtained as part of a GroundSure report has been made (Ref. GS dated 30 September 2013). A summary of the information is provided below and a copy of the maps is included as Appendix A. Map Dates On-Site Features Relevant Off-Site Features The site is agricultural farmland with the current field pattern layout. A footpath crosses from beside the field margin and hedgerow. Surrounding land is predominantly agricultural farmland with the wooded area of Scotch Gill. Abbey Mills (Wool) is recorded 75m southeast, on the adjacent bank of the River Wansbeck The site remains unchanged. The A1 motorway has been constructed within the Wansbeck Valley. Surrounding agricultural farmland remains although Abbey Mills is now disused The site remains unchanged. Lancaster Park residential housing estate has been constructed to the west of Scotch Gill Wood The site remains unchanged. Off site features have remained unchanged. 3.1 In summary, the site has no history of previous contaminative use and has remained as agricultural farmland, with areas of steeply sloped dense woodland within the Nature Reserve /DS 4 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

9 4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 4.1 This section is based principally upon a search of information available on public registers through a GroundSure search (GS ) included as Appendix B, together with other sources as indicated. Geology and Mining 4.2 A summary of the site geology, based on available published information, is provided below. Sources of Information British Geological Survey (BGS) Sheet 09 Rothbury & Sheet 14 Morpeth 1: scale, Solid and Drift Editions. BGS Online Mapping Database The Coal Authority with a mining report included as Appendix C. Made Ground Superficial Deposits (drift) None recorded on published maps with no significant areas identified during the site walkover. Glacial Till deposits are noted across the majority of the site albeit for where River Terrace and Alluvium deposits are present alongside the existing water features to the east and south of the site. BGS borehole records indicate that the depth of the drift deposits increases towards the south of the site. Solid Geology Mining The site is underlain by the Upper Carboniferous Stainmore Formation which comprises cyclical alternations of sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, thin limestones and occasional coal seams. The Coal Authority record the area as not being within an area that has been previously worked and is outside the zone of likely physical influence. A Coal Authority mining report is included as Appendix C. Quarrying Landslides None recorded on or immediately adjacent to the site. Numerous landslides have been recorded adjacent to the River Wansbeck and Scotch Gill Burn as well as in the west of the site adjacent to the A /DS 5 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

10 Hydrology and Hydrogeology 4.3 A summary of available information pertaining to hydrology, hydrogeology, flood risk potential, water abstractions, discharge consents and pollution incidents to controlled waters is provided below. Watercourses Flood Risk Groundwater Classification Scotch Gill Burn catchment forms the eastern boundary of the site. The River Wansbeck forms part of the southern boundary of the site. Although the majority of the site lies out with a floodplain, areas within close proximity to the River Wansbeck and Scotch Gill Burn are noted to lie within a Zone 2 Flood Plain. Superficial Geology: The majority of the deposits are classified as unproductive strata (i.e. clay). Where there are River Terrace & Alluvial deposits on site, these are recorded as a Secondary A Aquifer. Solid Geology: Secondary A Aquifer. Source Protection Zones Springs / Issues Wells Licensed Surface Water Abstractions Licensed Groundwater Abstractions Discharge Consents Pollution Incidents The site lies within a Source Protection Zone 3 for the River Wansbeck and Scotch Gill Burn catchment area. Springs/Issues have been noted towards the eastern boundary of the site within the Scotch Gill Burn Nature Reserve. NR on site. Surface water abstraction from the River Wansbeck located 120m southeast of the site boundary. NR within 1km. A discharge consent is recorded on site associated with Lancaster Park Sewage Pumping Station. However, as it is recorded directly on top of the site boundary, it may in fact be located off site and is just a mapping inaccuracy. There are a further 14 recorded within 250m but none are associated with the site itself. 1 pollution incident of the River Wansbeck with significant impact to water quality. Pollutant not identified. NR None Recorded Landfill Sites and Waste Management 4.4 A summary of information regarding landfill sites (historical or current) and waste management facilities is provided below /DS 6 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

Integrated Pollution Controls (IPC) Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) NR within 250m. NR within 250m. Petrol Filling Stations NR within 250m. NR None Recorded Radon 4.6 Inspection of the BRE publication BR211 (2007), "Radon: Guidance on protective measures for new buildings" indicates that the site lies in an area where radon protection measures are not required. Other Other sensitive land uses or potentially contaminative activities are listed below. The entries relate to activities within approximately 250m of the site. The site does not lie within a nitrate sensitive area. No other sensitive land uses or contaminative activities are recorded /DS 7 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

12 5 CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL 5.1 Based on the available desk study information, a conceptual site model (CSM) has been developed for the proposed future land use (mixed residential and commercial). This summarises the understanding of the existing site and its historical development, the site geology, the potential contaminant sources, transport pathways and receptors in order to assess potential pollutant linkages. In assessing the potential contaminants present at the site, reference has also been made to the relevant sections of CLR 8, the Department of the Environment Industry Profile reports and any other relevant supporting documentation. 5.2 At this stage, a clearly defined development plan has not been conceived although it is felt that a mixed end use (residential and commercial) is applicable for this site. Based on the available information, a summary of the potential contamination sources, pathways and receptors is provided below. Sources of Contamination Although considered minimal, made ground may be present on site. Contamination arising from the use of pesticides associated with the historical and existing land use (i.e. agricultural farmland). Potential Pollution Pathways Humans direct contact, soil ingestion and dust inhalation. Secondary A Aquifer leaching and vertical migration of contamination. Lateral migration into nearby watercourses or migration of contaminants onto site from nearby former industrial activities. Vertical and lateral migration of ground gas into buildings and service entries (manholes). Direct contact of aggressive soils with building foundations and floor slabs /DS 8 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

13 Receptors Site end users. Construction workers. Underlying Aquifer (Secondary A). Nearby watercourses (Scotch Gill Burn & River Wansbeck). Building foundations and floor slabs. Pollutant Linkage Assessment 5.3 A qualitative risk assessment has been made of the likelihood of any pollutant linkage operating and its potential significance in the table below: Contamination Source Pathway Hazard Potential Receptors Linkage Complete Contaminants associated with made ground on site as well as pesticides Direct contact, ingestion, dust inhalation Direct contact, ingestion, dust inhalation Human health risk Human health risk Site construction workers Site end users If present, risk can be removed by the use of appropriate PPE and limited exposure. Likely to be present if both are identified on site and these materials re-used within any proposed development. Lateral and vertical migration Pollution of controlled waters Secondary A Aquifer Minimal, taking in to account that the majority of the site is underlain by Glacial Till. However, more permeable deposits may be present adjacent to the watercourses located on and off site. Lateral and vertical migration Pollution of controlled waters Nearby watercourses Yes, although at this stage no significant or wide spread contamination is likely to be present across the site. Contaminants associated with off-site sources Lateral migration Human health risk Site end users Unlikely in view of the distance, and history of possible contaminative sources. Ground Gas Vertical migration into buildings or confined spaces Human health risk. Fire risk Human health and property A potential risk may be posed from the possible presence of alluvial deposits in the east and south of the site. No other significant sources are considered likely (i.e. made ground and coal seams) /DS 9 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

14 5.4 At this stage, it is considered unlikely that the site will be contaminated, or at risk from any adjacent contaminated sites /DS 10 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

15 6 ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT 6.1 The potential environmental risk has been assessed based on the source-pathwayrecpetor pollutant linkages identified in the Conceptual Site Model, which requires that for a liability to arise each stage of the pollutant linkage must be present. References to risk classifications are made according to the following definitions: Low risk it is unlikely that an issue will arise with respect to causing significant harm to human health or controlled waters. Medium risk it is possible that an issue could arise with respect to causing significant harm to human health or controlled waters. High risk it is likely that an issue will arise with respect to causing significant harm to human health or controlled waters. 6.2 Having evaluated the information gathered during this study and described in the previous sections the following risk assessment has been produced. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT Risk rating Reason Contamination potential for: On-site contamination Low No evidence of contaminative site usage. Contaminants migrating off site Low No evidence of contaminative site usage. Contaminants migrating onto site Low Little evidence of contamination from adjacent land use. Other environmental issues giving rise to concern Low None identified. OVERALL RISK Low 12632/DS 11 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

16 Ground Gas Risk Assessment 6.3 Based on the above information gained through the GroundSure Report, the risk of ground gas emissions is considered to be low. The following summarises the gas risk for the site: Potential Gas Source Hazard Risk Rating Justification Made ground (CH 4, CO 2 ) Humans: health risk Buildings: explosion Low No significant development history indicates that gas sources within made ground is unlikely. Alluvial Deposits Humans: health risk Buildings: explosion Low Alluvial deposits can contain organic clays and peat deposits which can be a potential source of ground gas. Coal and historical mining Humans: health risk Buildings: explosion Low No coal seams or shallow working recorded on site. Radon Humans: health risk N/A No precautions required. Overall Risk Low 12632/DS 12 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

17 7 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS 7.1 The following geotechnical considerations are given as preliminary guidelines only based on the available data on the ground conditions. Consequently, the following should not be taken as design criteria without further geotechnical data obtained from a suitably designed ground investigation. Mining 7.2 The geological maps and Coal Authority Report indicate that there are no recorded coal seams or coal workings located below site within an influencing distance of the surface. Although the Stainmore Formation contains occasional coal seams these are likely to be found at considerable depth below the site and thin in nature. 7.3 Consequently, the site is not considered to be at risk from mineworkings within influencing distance of the surface. Landslides 7.4 The GroundSure Report indicates that there have been several landslips within the site boundary located on the south/southeast and western boundaries. The sections of land that have moved are located beside the River Wansbeck, Scotch Gill Burn and adjacent to the A1 on the western boundary. Depending upon any proposed developments and their location; these areas may require a more specific slope stability assessment to be completed. Foundations 7.5 It is anticipated that the site is underlain by Glacial Till typically comprising firm to stiff clays, laminated in areas, with Glacial Sand and Gravel deposits at depth. This has been confirmed by the historical BGS boreholes obtained as part of this report. Taking this in to account and for the majority of the site, any future foundations are likely to comprise conventional shallow strip and pad foundations based within competent natural superficial deposits. Due to the presence of the Scotch Gill Burn and the River Wansbeck, variable deposits comprising both River Terrace Deposits and Alluvium have been identified, which if any proposed developments are envisaged within these areas, varied depths and types of foundations may need to be utilised /DS 13 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

18 7.6 Should multi-storey developments be proposed, piled foundations may be required. 7.7 The foundation depth should take account of the presence of trees and hedgerows in the vicinity of the any proposed developments. Detailed foundation requirements should be assessed following a ground investigation. Floor Slabs 7.8 In view of the natural Glacial Till deposits, a ground bearing floor slab may be utilised on the upper areas of the site, making allowance for the potential volume change in cohesive soils. Where flood plain alluvial deposits occur, a suspended floor slab may be required within the floodplain of the River Wansbeck; this should be assessed following completion of a ground investigation. Pavements 7.9 It is anticipated, subject to a ground investigation, that standard construction techniques can be utilised. Gas Protection Measures 7.10 The preliminary ground gas risk assessment identifies that there is a low risk for ground gas from made ground, alluvial deposits and coal seams located on site /DS 14 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015

19 8 FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS 8.1 An intrusive investigation will be required for the proposed development to address the ground related issues discussed above. A summary of the likely scope of works, which should not be taken as an exhaustive list, is provided below. Mini percussive drilling and/or trial pits (if significant ground disturbance can be tolerated) to allow the recovery of samples for laboratory testing and establish the geological profile within the likely foundation depth. Deeper cable percussion boreholes if multi-storey buildings are proposed and poor ground conditions are identified. Based on a worst case scenario that that the proposed development will include residential properties, installation of gas monitoring standpipes and monitoring on 6 occasions over a minimum 3 month period may be required. However, this can be reassessed if the proposed development and/or if the gas regime varies from the original assessment. Geotechnical and chemical laboratory analysis /DS 15 Mitford Estate, Morpeth Mitford Estates LLP February 2015
