▤ Verbatim text from source document
Series E of our information papers outline how environmental impacts have been assessed and how they will be mitigated or compensated for during the construction of HS2 Phase 2b (Crewe – Manchester). This includes the:
- environmental controls set out in the Bill (and environmental minimum requirements)
- ecological impact of construction and operation and the mitigation in place to address this
- approach to controlling noise and air quality effects during construction and operation
- approach to managing excavated material and waste that will arise from construction
- approach to assessing and mitigating impacts on water resources and flood risk
- assessment and treatment of contaminated land
- approach to assessing any impact on archaeological remains that could result from construction works
- resilience and capacity of Phase 2b (Crewe – Manchester) to cope with potential climate change impacts
