Introduction
This paper summarises the work being undertaken to develop additional construction mitigation measures and to revise the compensation policies developed in response to matters raised by the Examining Authority (ExA) and also by other interested parties. This paper also supplements a number of second-round questions summarised in Appendix A. With the benefit of further examination through the forthcoming issue specific hearings, it is intended to refine this work and submit a full and final draft of the revised material and supporting documentation on 12 February 2014. This will incorporate any revisions in response to comments made by the ExA and also by other interested parties. The ExA and other interested parties have raised concerns, during the hearings held so far and in representations, about several matters relating to mitigation and compensation. Specifically: a. Securing commitments: Mitigation measures and compensation policies must be clearly secured in the application for development consent and there must be clarity about the way in which those measures are to be transferred and binding upon the Infrastructure Provider (IP) and its contractors. b. Maximising mitigation: Mitigation must be maximised at source to minimise disruption on the surrounding community. We have updated our assessments of environmental effects to reflect the proposed additional mitigation measures. c. Proactive policies: Compensation policies must be clear to the public and proactive on the part of Thames Water and the IP.
1.1.2
1.1.3
d. Engagement: We should more proactively engage residents and communities to understand their concerns and the combined effect of the work. 1.1.4 We have already undertaken a large amount of public consultation over the last three years and we are responding to this in addition to feedback received through the examination process. It was always the intention to undertake much of this mitigation, but at a later stage in the process and following appointment of contractors circa May 2015. However, we understand the need to address the concerns raised and bring this work forward by making additional commitments now. The commitments set out in this report at this stage take this project further in terms of mitigation and compensation than any other similar project has done in London. As an infrastructure developer, we need to balance the provision of mitigation measures with our requirement to deliver infrastructure safely and efficiently which is overseen by the water industry economic regulator (Ofwat).

2.1.1
Securing commitments
On-site mitigation measures for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project are secured through a number of site-specific requirements and, particularly, through the Code of Construction Practice (CoCP) parts A and B. Implementation and compliance with the CoCP is a requirement within the application for development consent. We have revised the commitments to ensure that they are specific, clear, measureable and enforceable. The CoCP Part B now more clearly defines the minimum mitigation that shall be provided for each site, unless the relevant local authority approves a suitable alternative providing the same or better level of protection. The CoCP Part A defines minimum project-wide mitigation requirements as well as the management regimes, secondary consent requirements and monitoring regimes that will ensure compliance with the application for development consent. We have continued to proactively engage with other interested parties on revisions to the CoCP since 9 December 2013. Additional mitigation on site has been developed and incorporated into the CoCP, as described in the next section. Where further mitigation on site is not possible, we have committed through our policies to offer to provide off-site mitigation and compensation (eg, noise insulation). These policies are being secured through Legal Agreements (ExA Doc ref: APP74.2) and appropriate project-wide requirements, including a Section 106 Unilateral Undertaking (ExA doc ref: APP74.3) with the relevant London local authorities. This is described in more detail in Section 4. In order to secure a limit on potential noise and vibration effects of the scheme, we have made a Not Environmentally Worse Than (NEWT) commitment across all sites. This will legally bind contractors to provide mitigation measures which would prevent noise and vibration effects during construction and operation from exceeding those described in the Environmental Statement (ES) (as amended during the examination process). The commitment extends to a requirement for the IP and its contractors to develop and implement any additional mitigation that is reasonable and practicable to reduce the effects further. The NEWT commitment is being secured through the updated CoCP Part A. The NEWT commitment is common to very large-scale projects where, to ensure the best practicable protection of communities and other sensitive receptors around the many construction sites, it is necessary to have a two-stage process: the first where seeking approval for powers to construct and operate the scheme; and the second where contractors have completed their detailed proposals and agree with relevant local authorities through Section 61 consent. This is akin to outline planning and detailed planning. The NEWT type commitment can be found, for example, in the Acts for Crossrail and Forth Crossing, in the ES for Phase

Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT 1 of HS2, and in the Environmental Minimum Requirements for HS1 (formerly CTRL). 2.1.9 For noise and vibration considerations, the NEWT commitment effectively sets the ES, as modified during the examination, as a benchmark for the effects arising from the scheme, and requires that the effects at detailed design and during delivery of the project do not exceed the limits contained in the ES. For noise, the key principles of the commitment are: a. to ensure that individuals or communities cannot become significantly affected unless they are identified as being likely to be significantly affected in the ES (as modified); and b. to further reduce effects and hence avoid significant effects reported in the ES wherever practicable. 2.1.10 Where it is not practicable during detailed design or during the works to avoid significant effects identified in the ES, then off-site mitigation and compensation measures will be developed and offered to the property owner. Ensuring that significant noise and vibration effects do not arise where they are not identified in the ES will principally be achieved by confirming the noise levels forecast by the contractor in support of the Section 61 consent applications do not exceed the relevant criterion as defined in ES methodology. The monitoring and compliance regimes set out in the CoCP and Section 61 consents will provide an assurance that NEWT compliance is being achieved during construction. This would be enforced first by the IP. Ultimately, if there were a breach of conditions imposed on a Section 61 consent and this was not corrected by the contractor or the IP, the relevant local authority could serve abatement notices under the Control of Pollution Act and/or the Environmental Protection and/or take enforcement action under the development consent order. We will also require, through a commitment in the s106 Unilateral Undertaking, that off-site mitigation measures be put in place prior to the commencement of the construction activity that leads to the need for the particular mitigation, assuming all agreements are in place. The equivalent commitment for on-site mitigation is included in the updated CoCP Part A. Substantial drafts of the above documents are being submitted to the ExA on 13 January 2014, with final versions, incorporating any revisions in response to comments and feedback, to follow on 12 February 2014. The documents demonstrate that the proposed measures and policies have continued to evolve during discussions with the respective stakeholders and reflect the ExAs guidance.

Maximising mitigation
The ES sets out a robust, worst-case assessment of likely environmental effects resulting from the works. We have reduced the likely effects through updates to the CoCP parts A and B and the potential exists to further reduce effects via detailed secondary consents, particularly the Section 61 process for noise and vibration that would be undertaken by the contractors on a site-by-site basis with the relevant local authority prior to construction. In response to matters raised in the examination so far, however, we have undertaken a review of all principal sites where potential significant effects are reported in the ES and our teams have accelerated some of the detailed mitigation measures that can now be confirmed, based on further scheme development and information available since the application for development consent, and which may otherwise have been identified through the Section 61 process. These additional measures are being committed to now through additions to the CoCP and additional requirements. Broadly speaking, the additional measures identified include mitigation of construction effects around matters relating to noise, vibration and dust, the logistics surrounding barge movements and the removal/transportation of material. We undertook a review of the proposed working arrangements and the requirement for effective mitigation measures on site, balanced with cost-effective, timely and safe project delivery required by both Government and confirmed in various ministerial statements and also by the water industry regulator. It is anticipated that further mitigation will be possible through the next stages of the project.

Proposed additional on-site mitigation

Based on the review, we have committed to a number of mitigation measures, in addition to those included in the application for development consent in February 2013, to further reduce noise and vibration effects. Details of the additional mitigation measures are included in the CoCP and summarised in Table 3.1 below. The table also includes other additional commitments made in the CoCP that, while not necessarily reducing noise and vibration effects, provide additional measures and demonstrate a genuine commitment to continue to work with the communities and relevant local authorities to offset the impact of construction.

Residual significant noise and vibration effects predicted in the application for development consent Proposed additional on-site mitigation measures and other commitments secured through the CoCP sensitive receptors, including Putney Pier Houseboats. Other additional commitments in CoCP: No Sunday working, to include maintenance of plant and/or equipment, shall be conducted either upon Putney Bridge, within the vaults beneath the bridge or on land located to the east of the bridge adjacent to St Marys Church, before 11:30. Deliveries of plant, equipment, welfare facilities and ready-mix concrete for the temporary slipway only are being via Glendarvon Street, and other deliveries are being by river to the temporary slipway site only, where practicable, unless tidal restrictions prevent the timely implementation of the construction and/or demolition of that slipway. The on-site lighting is being designed in liaison with local businesses adjacent to the worksite to limit adverse impacts. Lighting is being directed away from sensitive receptors and light spill is being minimised, for example, through the use of directional, capped and cowled lighting. The contractor shall produce and implement a plan in consultation with St Marys Church and Busy Bee by the Bridge Nursery School. The plan shall include measures to ensure no conflict occurs between the movement of staff, materials and associated tools/machinery relating to works in the vaults on the eastern side of Putney Bridge, and those accessing the Church and Busy Bee by the Bridge Nursery School. The contractor shall identify any requirements to temporarily remove the statue load which is located at the junction of Lower Richmond Road and the Embankment carriageways. Measures to protect the statue, whether it is required to be temporarily removed of kept in situ for the duration of the works, shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the local authority. If removed, the statue is being securely stored for the duration of the works.

Outcome contribution from this source to other receptors, however, as they are much further away and other noise sources on site dominate, there is no further change to the assessment as a result of this. The use of electric cranes wherever possible reduces the impact of noise during the whole programme, however, reductions to the overall noise levels are mostly evident during the shaft excavation. As this is not the activity causing the highest noise levels at receptors there is no change to the significance effects, however, the overall noise impact is reduced during the shaft excavation. We will proceed in developing potential off-site mitigation and compensation measures through trigger action plans for Nine Elms Pier houseboats, Riverlight Development blocks A, B and C and Battersea Power Station Development blocks PS and RS4.

Residual significant noise and vibration effects predicted in the application for development consent Proposed additional on-site mitigation measures and other commitments secured through the CoCP constructed with transparent acrylic sheet with a minimum thickness of 6mm and to meet noise attenuation requirements. Other additional commitments in CoCP: No scheduled lorry movements to and from the site between the hours of 08:45 and 09:30 and between 15:00 and 15:45, to avoid the lorry movements at arrival and departure times of Riverside Primary School. The contractor shall provide traffic marshals to prevent site lorries entering Bevington Street at these times. The project shall convene a Community Liaison Working Group in accordance with Schedule 4 of the Section 106 agreement with the London Borough of Southwark. The site layout will consider the use of required offices and storage containers or structures as noise barriers, while also considering their effect on day and sunlight. Specifically on the southwest corner by Chambers Street or west boundary of the site, 3-storey offices or equivalent are being considered for use as a noise barrier. This area of the site is closest to St Michaels School and Axis Court. The site layout, hoarding and noise barriers on the west of the site shall be designed where practical to minimise potential adverse sunlight/daylight impacts on the lower floors of Axis Court. The hoarding is to incorporate planted hoarding and suitable artwork on public facing sections. The local authority shall approve the external appearance of the hoarding. This approval shall not delay the erection of the hoarding, if construction work needs to commence in order to meet the programme. If this occurs, changes to the appearance are being agreed with the local authority and implemented as soon as practicable thereafter.

Low vibration piling

We have committed to use low noise and vibration piling methods (push piling) to install sheet piles adjacent to residents and other communities
27
Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT identified in the ES as being significantly affected by vibration due to vibro-piling methods. This commitment removes many of the predicted significant vibration effects across the project. We have consulted with contractors specialising in the push piling method and, combined with our knowledge of the geotechnical site information at each site, we are confident that the method can be implemented in all but exceptional circumstances. We have therefore committed to using push piling unless it is determined to be practically impossible to do so. 3.4.2 Should it be necessary to remove obstructions such as buried pieces of metal (most likely to be encountered in the top 2m of riverbed), this could be achieved ahead of the piling operation by utilising traditional excavation techniques as well as pre-auguring. The required mechanical hydraulic plant can be fixed on floating or jack-up pontoons and excavated material can be loaded onto barges for removal to a suitable disposal site. These river bed excavation techniques have been used successfully by dredging companies along the River Thames and in the foreshore for many years. From borehole records, the ground conditions across the relevant sites show that the geology is suitable to use low vibration piling techniques. The only likely cause of push piling not being achieved is the unlikely event of a manmade obstruction being encountered deep within the riverbed. Should this be the case, contingency plans for dealing with such an obstruction and continuing push piling could be: a. to remove it by using a long reach excavator b. to leave the pile short of its final drive level, cut the pile off and strengthen the temporary works bracing locally later c. 3.4.4 break up the obstruction by drill or auger. In exceptional circumstances, where push piling is found to be practically impossible, the contractor may have to employ vibration techniques in order for the works to continue. In these exceptional circumstances, the contractor is required to demonstrate that push piling is impossible and make an application to the relevant local authority for the alternative piling method through the Section 61 dispensation process (see Appendix A; Section A.1 in the CoCP Part A) unless the contingency measures and arrangements were already included in the original Section 61 consent. As part of this process, the contractor will have to reassess the likely environmental effects of the revised piling method which may trigger off-site mitigation under a TAP. Given that exposure above the vibration thresholds is both unlikely and would be of short duration, exceeding the thresholds would trigger an offer for temporary respite accommodation (eg, short-term accommodation in a hotel or equivalent). These measures must be put in place prior to the contractor recommencing the works. For the purpose of our updated noise and vibration assessments, we have made a conservative assumption that anchor piles will be required using vibro-piling techniques at the start of the cofferdam piling works. These anchor piles will be installed at a location away from the closest receptors. Based on industry standards, each anchor pile should take no longer than one day to install. We have, again conservatively, assumed that three
3.4.3
3.4.5
28
Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT anchor piles are required for each cofferdam. To reflect the exceptional circumstances occurring at any cofferdam site, five days of vibro-piling has been incorporated in our noise and vibration assessment findings. Significant effects from vibration, if they did occur at all, would therefore be of very short duration.
3.5
3.5.1
The updates to the Environmental Assessment

Further to the identification of additional mitigation measures at certain worksites, the noise and vibration effects reported in the ES have been reviewed and revised to reflect the incorporation of these additional measures. Accordingly, ES tables 9.5.1, 9.5.2, 9.5.3 and 9.10.2 for those sites where additional mitigation is proposed have been revised and are presented in Appendix B. These tables update those presented in the ES submitted in February 2013 and will form the basis for setting the NEWT clause.
3.6
3.6.1
Off-site mitigation and trigger action plans

We appreciate that off-site mitigation, such as noise insulation or temporary rehousing, can be unpopular and disruptive for people and communities around the construction sites. The CoCP therefore requires that mitigation is maximised on site to minimise adverse effects and hence minimise the need for such off-site mitigation. Where on-site mitigation is impractical to reduce adverse effects to an acceptable level, however, then we will develop and offer further off-site mitigation and compensation measures, subject to landowner and occupier consents. It should be noted that the impact of these items to further reduce adverse effects would be on top of the on-site mitigation measures proposed in this report and, therefore, not included in the revised environmental assessments in Appendix B. We have committed to proactively develop TAPs to provide clarity on the following: a. What off-site mitigation will be offered b. The noise and vibration thresholds that would trigger the provision of the mitigation and c. To ensure that all necessary plans and approvals are in place to implement the mitigation quickly, should it be required.
3.6.2
3.6.3
3.6.4
TAPs are being prepared for: a. properties identified by the ES, as revised during the Examination period, as being potentially significantly affected for certain periods of time b. special cases immediately around the sites (such as schools, places of worship, houseboats or sheltered accommodation, for example) where there is the potential for in-combination effects.
29
Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT 3.6.5 We are also working with developers of new properties, located close to three of our worksites where significant noise and vibration effects are predicted to arise, in order to seek to mitigate potential noise effects prior to the new developments being occupied. A draft list of TAPs to be developed is appended to the Non statutory off-site mitigation and compensation policy and is included as Appendix C to this paper. An indicative timeline for production and implementation of the TAPs is included in Appendix D. TAPs and the process for their preparation, agreement and enforcement are set out in the revised Non-statutory off-site mitigation and compensation policy described in Section 4 and secured through Legal Agreements and appropriate project-wide requirements, including a Section 106 Unilateral Undertaking. TAPs will also consider the combined impact of noise and vibration where necessary. In summary: a. We will notify owners and occupiers that a TAP is to be prepared for their property. b. We will then contact owners and occupiers to arrange surveys needed to confirm whether noise insulation or other off-site mitigation is required and practicable and, if so, the noise insulation package to be offered and the necessary consents and works required to install the package. c. We will engage with the owners, occupiers and relevant local authorities in drafting the TAPs which will include all necessary third party approvals and consents to enable the proposed insulation package to be installed. Where required these will include, for example, planning permission, listed building consents, conservation area consents, building regulations approval and the tenants consent. These consents will be updated as required should there be a change in circumstances, for example, a change in tenant.
3.6.6
3.6.7 3.6.8
3.6.9
d. We will confirm the noise and as necessary vibration values that will trigger the provision of noise insulation or other off-site mitigation. e. Owners and occupiers will then be offered the mitigation package in writing by Thames Water. This will provide commitment to install the defined insulation package if the need for it is triggered. In the event that agreement cannot be reached then the TAP will be submitted to the Independent Compensation Panel (ICP) for approval or modification. The role of the ICP is described further in Section 4. f. The TAPs will be implemented by the IP and its contractors subject to the owner/occupiers consent. The contractor will include the TAP in its planning of the construction activities and in any Section 61 consent applications to the relevant local authority. In the event it is not reasonably practicable to reduce forecast noise or vibration below the trigger values then the contractor will implement the mitigation package set out in the TAP such that it is entirely complete before the
30
Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT works that would exceed the trigger values are started. The works are being monitored throughout their execution to ensure compliance with all commitments, consents and TAPs. 3.6.10 To demonstrate how the TAPs will work and to familiarise stakeholders, especially local authorities, and property owners/occupiers with the process, we have committed to accelerate development of several TAPs that spread across a reasonable range of residents and communities. The four TAPs which will be underway by the 12 February 2014 submission deadline include owners and occupiers of the following properties and school: a. Luna House Chambers Wharf site b. St Josephs Catholic School Deptford Church Street site c. 3.6.11 Nine Elms Houseboats Kirtling Street site d. 89-101 Carnwath Road Carnwath Road Riverside site. We will continue developing TAPs ahead of development consent approval and have developed an ambitious programme to complete them as soon as possible. Development of the TAPs will depend, for example, on cooperation from occupiers and relevant stakeholders to facilitate access to the residences. As previously stated, the s106 Unilateral Undertaking will require mitigation measures to be in place prior to the commencement of the construction activity that leads to the need for the particular mitigation.

Proactive policies
We have also revised our compensation policies in response to feedback from the ExA and other interested parties. The basic principles guiding the revisions include: a. the policies need to be proactive on the part of Thames Water b. the policies need to be effectively secured now as part of the application for development consent c. the policies need to be simplified and additional clarity is needed to assist in the publics understanding and navigation through the policies
d. independent support should be available advise the public on the compensation policies and decide on potential claims. 4.1.3 In response to this, we have taken the following action in updating the polices: a. Redrafting the policies to place an obligation on Thames Water to proactively engage with potentially eligible individuals and to ensure that they are aware of and assisted with their entitlement to mitigation or compensation b. Creation of a s106 Unilateral Undertaking which will secure the policies by 12 February 2014 c.

d. Creation of an Independent Compensation Panel (ICP) which are being funded by but remain independent from Thames Water and the IP e. Discretionary elements of the policies (where it is up to Thames Water to decide if a party qualifies) are being removed f. Clarification on those that can apply for exceptional hardship includes any property within 100m of the LLAU rather than 100m from the worksite.
4.1.4
We have also consolidated several of the policies for simplification. At present, there are five separate compensation policies the Settlement Information Paper, Noise Insulation and Temporary Rehousing Policy, Non-statutory Mitigation Policy, Non-statutory Disturbance Policy and the Exceptional hardship procedure (EHP). These have been consolidated into: a. Non statutory off-site mitigation and compensation policy (ExA Doc ref: APP68) b. Settlement Information Paper (ExA Doc ref: APP71) c. Exceptional hardship procedure (ExA Doc ref: APP69).

4.2.1
Section 106 Unilateral Undertaking

It is proposed to secure the obligations on Thames Water in relation to the policies as follows:
Pre the granting of development consent

4.2.2 A Legal Agreement is to be offered to all relevant London local authorities in which Thames Water commits to: a. setting up the Independent Compensation Panel (ICP) and the Independent Advisory Service (IAS) which is to occur as soon as reasonably practicable or within six months of the date of the Agreement b. entering into a s106 unilateral undertaking (pursuant to Section 106 of the 1990 Act) on granting of the development consent to bind the obligations in the agreement to all of the DCO Land, and to further commit to comply with the all of the obligations relating to the mitigation and compensation policies/measures as set out in the deeds until at least one year after the completion of the development. 4.2.3 It is proposed that Thames Water will offer to enter into this agreement with the relevant London local authorities by 12 February 2014 submission deadline, but Thames Water will make clear that where any relevant London local authorities refuse or fail to sign the Agreement, Thames Water will comply with the terms of the Agreement with all the relevant London local authorities named on the deed as if they were a signatory party. This approach is necessary since Thames Water does not have interests in land in all of the relevant London local authorities so is unable to create obligations which are enforceable by all boroughs under s.106 of the 1990 Act.
On granting of the development consent

4.2.4 Thames Water will complete the s106 Unilateral Undertaking appended to the Agreement to ensure that all obligations relating to the policies are Section 106 planning obligations and are binding on Thames Water and on the DCO Land. The s106 Unilateral Undertaking will require mitigation measures to be in place prior to the commencement of the construction activity that leads to the need for the particular mitigation. Drafts of the Legal Agreements above and the s106 Unilateral Undertaking are being submitted to the ExA on 13 January 2014, with final versions incorporating comments and feedback to follow on 12 February 2014.

Independent Advisory Service (IAS)

We will establish an Independent Advisory Service (IAS) to be available to advise the public and other parties on their rights and available options relating to the Settlement Information Paper, the Non statutory off-site mitigation and compensation policy and the Exceptional hardship procedure. Advice is being made available to individuals and other affected parties, such as schools and communities, who either are entitled or believe they are entitled to mitigation or compensation under the policies. The IAS will advise how they may qualify for the policies and the role of the Independent Compensation Panel which is described further below. The IAS will also assist parties with completing the application forms and making a claim. Specific provisions are being made within the IAS to ensure its services are available to harder to reach groups and for those whom English is not their first language. The IAS is being funded by, but will remain independent from, Thames Water and the IP. The IAS staff will consist of qualified chartered surveyors with experience in compensation and claims. Their staff will have to demonstrate they do not have a conflict of interest with Thames Water or the IP. Procurement of the IAS is underway and will be mobilised by the end of February 2014. The IAS is being secured through the Legal Agreements and appropriate project-wide requirements including a Section 106 unilateral undertaking with the relevant London local authorities. It should be noted that the IAS is in addition to the 24 hours per day service that is currently in place and already available to the public for general project-wide issues.

Independent Compensation Panel

We will establish an Independent Compensation Panel (ICP) as soon as possible but no later than six months after granting of development consent. The ICP will supervise the implementation of the Settlement Procedure and the Non statutory off-site mitigation and compensation policy determine applications and settle any claims or disputes arising from the policies. The ICP will consist of a chairperson plus two additional voting members chosen on a case-by-case basis from a panel of experts. The panel of experts will provide specialist advice on technical issues and be available to the ICP. Experts will include noise and vibration specialists, transport specialists, building surveyors, quantity surveyors, tunnelling engineers, chartered surveyors, medical professionals, legal advisor, representatives from Thames Water and its contractors and other such specialists the chairperson may deem necessary.

Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT 4.4.4 Thames Water will seek feedback from the relevant London local authorities on the proposed members of the ICP and will take reasonable account of their representations prior to being appointed. Decisions on applications and disputes are being resolved by a simple majority among the three members with each member having a single vote. In the event a majority cannot be achieved, the chairpersons vote is being the casting vote. The ICP is being funded by, but will remain independent from, Thames Water and the Infrastructure Provider. The ICP is being secured through the Legal Agreements and appropriate project-wide requirements including a Section 106 unilateral undertaking with the relevant London local authorities.

Help guide and pamphlets

An update on our compensation policies will be available on our website week in mid January 2014 to reflect the refreshed Non statutory off-site mitigation and compensation policy. On appointment of the IAS, we will work with them to refresh the compensation policy family of leaflets and introduce a user-friendly guide to assist the publics understanding of the policies. This will be one of the early deliverables produced by the IAS and will be available by the end August 2014.

Further engagement
We have continued to engage with stakeholders and communities. As part of this process, we have done the following: a. Identified areas and lists of individuals and parties to further engage. This includes those potentially affected by forecast significant and in-combination impacts and special cases such as schools, places of worship, houseboats, etc. and parties specifically raised in the hearings to date. We have been meeting with these individuals and parties to continue to listen to their concerns and discuss the proposed works, mitigation options and compensation. A schedule of meetings is attached in Appendix E. b. Contacted all stakeholders that have made relevant representations, written representations or made submissions at hearings by 31 January 2014 c. Hosted a workshop with a number of relevant London local authorities on 18 December 2013 to discuss changes to compensation policies and off-site mitigation measures. Participants included LB Southwark, LB Tower Hamlets, LB Hammersmith and Fulham, and Royal Borough of Chelsea and Kensington. Feedback has been incorporated into the latest draft of the compensation policies. Draft minutes of the workshop are attached in Appendix F.
d. Arranged a follow-up workshop with relevant London local authorities planned for 17 January 2014 to further review the revisions to the policies and capture comments from local authorities unable to attend the first workshop. e. Engaged four property owner/occupiers to develop trigger action plans by the end of February 2014.

Conclusion
A substantial amount of work has gone into addressing matters raised by the ExA and other interested parties. We have listened and have taken action to identify and commit to additional mitigation measures to further reduce the impact of the works. We have also revised our compensation policies to make them proactive on the part of Thames Water and confirmed how these mitigations and policies are being secured as part of the application for development consent. This takes this project further in terms of mitigation and compensation at an earlier stage than any other similar project in London. We will submit drafts of our current proposals on 13 January 2014, with final versions incorporating comments and feedback to follow on 12 February 2014.

Ref no. 29.06 Question Provide details of the measures proposed to mitigate any impacts on the quality of the learning environment in the school buildings at Riverside School (both main building and infant block) and the external teaching and activity areas. Provide details of the measures proposed to mitigate any impacts on the quality of the learning environment of the external teaching and activity areas of Falconbrook School and St Michael's Roman Catholic Secondary School. Explain the process which would be adopted for NI to ensure implementation before the noise events that would trigger the need for insulation occur. Provide a timeline showing the process including, but not limited to, background noise monitoring, needs assessment, contractor appointment, application for s61 consent from the local authority, obtaining appropriate listed building consents (where necessary), obtaining owners consent, NI installation and contractor start on site. What immediate mitigation or compensation would be available to households and building owners if the vibration could not be mitigated through silent/low vibration piling? Provide timescales for implementation. Indicate how the cumulative effects from noise and vibration should be considered. What mitigation measures would be available for properties where the individual assessments for noise and vibration would be less than the threshold of significance, but where combined effects would be significant? Can the Applicant provide an assessment of the impact on health and wellbeing from the combination of the impacts from noise and vibration, air quality, traffic and loss of amenity for: a) residential households within 250m of the sites b) vulnerable people, including the aged and those in assisted living accommodation within 250m of the sites c) children who both live near the sites and go to school near the sites or access their schools along routes affected by the sites d) residents of houseboats within 250m of the sites Provide a table giving a summary of health impact assessment findings, giving for each site an assessment of the health impact from the combination of the impacts as requested in the question above. Describe the measures that could be taken to mitigate the impacts on health and wellbeing.

Appendix G: Revised environmental assessments

G.1
G.1.1
Introduction
The tables in this appendix show the updated assessment results following the incorporation of the further mitigation measures identified in Table 3.1. The tables take the same form as those provided in the ES (tables 9.5.1, 9.5.2 and 9.5.3, 9.10.1 and 9.10.2). The updated findings are in shown in bold, with the original result from the ES provided but with a strikethrough as follows (example). Only those sites with significant residual effects that were mitigated are included below.
G.2
G.2.1
Putney Embankment Foreshore

The ES (and subsequent errata) identified significant adverse day time effects at Star and Garter Mansions and public house and Putney Pier Houseboats, due to cofferdam piling, and at 10 Ruvigny Gardens due to construction of the temporary slipway. The changes to the assessment findings as a result of the implementation of the further mitigation identified in Table 3.1 is outlined below.
Noise
G.2.2 As a result of the use of low noise and vibration piling, receptor PE1 (Star & Garter, Mansions and public house staff accommodation) would experience a reduction in construction noise levels that brings the maximum predicted noise level to below the ABC impact criterion threshold level. The significant adverse daytime noise effect would therefore be reduced to not significant. Predicted construction noise levels at the houseboats at Putney Pier (PE10) would also be reduced but would remain above the ABC impact criterion threshold level for a shorter period of time, and would therefore remain significant for 2 months. Significant effects at 10 Ruvigny Gardens (PE9) remain as it has not been possible to identify practicable mitigation to reduce or remove these effects. For Putney Pier Houseboats (PE10), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 65 and 75dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 6 months (2 months of significant effect) during the following periods: G.2.4 Site set up 2 months Construction of the temporary slipway 2 months Cofferdam construction 2 months.
G.2.3
The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 75dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 2 months as a result of surface breaking. For 10 Rugivny Gardens (PE9), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 46 and 74dBLAeq. It is

Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 2 months during construction of the temporary slipway. G.2.6 The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 74dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 1 month as a result of surface breaking.

The ES (and subsequent errata) identified significant adverse day and night time effects at Lancaster House, due to site set up and shaft construction. The changes to the assessment findings as a result of the implementation of the further mitigation identified in Table 3.1 is outlined below.
Noise
G.3.2 As a result of avoiding the use of breakers at night, receptors BE1, 2, 4 and 5 would experience a reduction in predicted construction noise levels, however effects at these properties were not identified to be significant in the ES. For receptor BE3, at which significant residual effects were identified, the reduction would result in the removal of significant night time effects. Significant day time effects would remain at this receptor. For Lancaster House (BE3), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 61 and 72dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 7 months during the following periods: G.3.4 Site set up 4 months Piling - 1 month Shaft secondary lining - 2 months.
G.3.3
The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 72dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 2 months as a result of site set up and surface breaking. For Lancaster House (BE3), the assessment has predicted that night time construction noise levels would be 50dBLAeq (worst case). It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 3 months during the connection tunnelling works.

The ES (and subsequent errata) identified significant adverse night time effects at 5 Carnwath Road and day, evening and night time effects at 89101 Carnwath Road, due to barge movements. The changes to the assessment findings as a result of the implementation of the further mitigation identified in Table 3.1 is outlined below.
Noise
River based construction traffic G.4.2 As a result of the installation of an acrylic noise screen to the river wall outside 5 Carnwath Road and 89-101 Carnwath Road, predicted noise levels from barge movements would be reduced at properties on the ground and first floor of these buildings and effects would be not significant. These screens would however not provide screening to properties at second floor and above and effects at these properties would remain significant as presented in the ES.
Vibration
G.4.3 There were no significant adverse vibration effects identified in the ES at Carnwath Road Riverside and the further mitigation does not have an effect on predicted vibration levels.

G.5.2 As a result of the use of low noise and vibration piling, receptor HE4 (Riverlight) would experience a reduction in construction noise levels that brings the maximum predicted noise level down to the ABC impact criterion threshold level.

The ES (and subsequent errata) identified significant adverse day time noise effects at Camelford House due to shaft construction, Tintagel House due to cofferdam construction and Vauxhall Cross due to cofferdam construction and demolition. Significant adverse vibration effects were also identified at 1-146 Bridge House, Camelford House, Tintagel House and Vauxhall Cross due to cofferdam piling. The changes to the assessment findings as a result of the implementation of the further mitigation identified in Table 3.1 is outlined below
Noise
G.6.2 As a result of the use of low noise and vibration piling, receptor AE1 (Peninsula Heights) would experience a reduction in construction noise levels that brings the maximum predicted noise level below to the ABC impact criterion threshold level. Receptors AE2-AE3 would also experience a reduction in predicted construction noise levels, which continue to be below the ABC impact criterion threshold level. The effects would remain not significant as reported in the ES. At receptors AE6 and AE7, predicted construction noise levels would also be reduced and effects would be reduced to not significant. Noise levels at AE5 Camelford House would remain significant due to shaft construction. For Camelford House (AE5), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 60 and 80dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 39 months during the following periods: G.6.5 Site set up 7 months Cofferdam construction 5 months Shaft construction - 15 months Construction of other structures 7 months Site restoration - 7 months.

The changes to the assessment findings as a result of the implementation of the further mitigation identified in Error! Reference source not found. is outlined below.
Noise
G.7.2 As a result of the use of low noise and vibration piling, receptor VE1 would experience a reduction in construction noise levels brings the maximum predicted noise level below to the impact threshold level. Effects would remain not significant as presented in the ES. Receptors VE2, 3 and 5 also experience a reduction in construction noise levels that brings the maximum predicted noise level below to the ambient baseline noise level. Effects would remain not significant as presented in the ES. Receptor VE4 would see a reduction in construction noise levels which would remain above the ambient baseline noise level but effects at this receptor would remain not significant as presented in the ES. The ES identified significant adverse effects at receptors VE6 and VE7. As a result of the use of low noise and vibration piling, construction noise levels would reduce but would remain above the ambient baseline noise levels and would remain significant. For the Hispaniola (VE6), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 60 and 70dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 2 months during demolition. The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 70dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 1 month as a result of the use of surface breakers on site. For the Tattershall Castle (VE7), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 58 and 73dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 7 months during the following periods: G.7.7 Demolition 4 months Cofferdam construction 2 months Cofferdam removal 1 month

King Edward Memorial Park Foreshore

The ES (and subsequent errata) identified significant adverse day time effects at Free Trade Wharf South due to demolition, and cofferdam and shaft construction, and at Pier Head Prep School due to site set up and demolition. Significant adverse vibration effects were also identified at Free Trade Wharf South due to cofferdam piling. The changes to the assessment findings as a result of the implementation of the further mitigation identified in Error! Reference source not found. is outlined below.
Noise
G.8.2 The inclusion of a barrier on the cofferdam to the east of the site will reduce the noise impact to the ground and first floors of Free Trade Wharf. By modifying the programme to ensure that the barrier is in place at the start of these works, the impact from other cofferdam works and barge movements will be reduced for a longer period, maximising the effectiveness of this barrier. The 5-6m acoustic wall along the eastern site perimeter will reduce the noise effects on the 2nd floor of Free Trade Wharf and use of the electric plant where practice will reduce the noise effects during cofferdam construction and construction other structures (culvert, etc). Despite this and the use of low noise and vibration piling, predicted construction noise levels would not change from those presented in the ES. This is because noise levels from demolition and shaft construction would remain. For Free Trade Wharf South (KE9), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 63 and 80dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 24 months during the following periods: G.8.4 Site set up and demolition - 3 months Cofferdam construction - 3 months Shaft construction - 10 months Construction of other structures - 8 months.
G.8.3
The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 80dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 1 month as a result of the use of the breaking out of hardstanding using excavator mounted breakers. For Pier Head Prep School (KE3), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 47 and 65dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 26 months during the following periods: Site set up and demolition - 3 months Cofferdam construction - 3 months Shaft construction - 12 months

Vibration
G.8.7 As a result of the use of low noise and vibration piling, predicted construction vibration levels would reduce at receptors KE8 and KE9. Vibration effects would remain not significant at receptor KE8 as presented in the ES. Significant adverse vibration effects were predicted in the ES at KE9 and these would be reduced to not significant.

The ES (and subsequent errata) identified significant adverse day time noise effects at 1-39 Chilton Grove, 108-136 Chilton Grove, 52-62 Croft Street and Cannon Wharf Block J due to shaft construction. Significant adverse vibration effects were also identified at 52-62 Croft Street and Cannon Wharf Block J due to piling. The changes to the assessment findings as a result of the implementation of the further mitigation identified in Table 3.1 is outlined below.
Noise
G.10.2 The increase of site hoarding to a height of 3.6m around the perimeter of the entire site will not reduce the impact of noise to the upper floors of 108-136 Chilton Grove or 1-39 Chilton Grove as these will remain unscreened to the rest of the site. It will, however, reduce the impact of noise to residences on the first floor, and to a lesser extent, on the second floor of these buildings. Effects would therefore remain significant at these receptors. Noise levels would range between 65 and 74dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 48 months during the entire construction period. The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 74dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 4 months as a result of the construction of the shaft using diaphragm walling techniques. For 108-136 Chilton Grove (EP3), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 69 and 79dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 48 months during the entire construction period. The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 79dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 14 months as a result of the construction of the shaft using diaphragm walling techniques. For 52-62 Croft Street (EP4), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 61 and 71dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 13 months during the following activities: G.10.8 Site set up and demolition - 3 months Shaft construction - 8 month Construction of other structures - 2 months.

Noise
G.11.2 The addition of timber fenders to the pier and installation of an acoustic wall on the landside of the pier will screen the houseboats at Nine Elms Pier entirely from the noise from barges being loaded. This does not remove the evening or night effects however the excess is greatly reduced. This also reduces the contribution from this source to other receptors, however as they are much further away and other noise sources on site dominate, there is no further change to the assessment as a result of this, and the noise effect at Nine Elms Pier houseboats remains significant. The use of electric cranes wherever possible reduces the impact of noise during the whole programme, however reductions to the overall noise levels are mostly evident during the shaft excavation. As this is not the activity causing the highest noise levels at receptors there is no change to the significance decisions at any receptors, however the overall noise impact is reduced during the shaft excavation. For the houseboats at Nine Elms Pier (KS4), daytime noise levels would range between 56 and 74dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 25 months during the construction period. The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 74dBLAeq), which results in a significant adverse effect is however, predicted to occur for approximately 3 months as a result of the jetty construction piling. For Riverlight block A (KS5), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 66 and 71dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 19 months during the main tunnel drive. The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 71dBLAeq is predicted to occur for approximately 19 months as a result of the activities on site to support the main tunnel drive and secondary lining. During the night time, the assessment has predicted that construction noise levels would range between 56 and 65 dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 19 months during the main tunnel drive. For Riverlight block B (KS6), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 74 and 80dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 68 months during the following activities: Site set up and demolition - 9 months Shaft construction - 14 months Main tunnel drive and secondary lining 37 months Landscaping and remodelling of site 8 months.

Summary of additional mitigation and revisions to compensation policies DRAFT G.11.10 The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 74dBLAeq is predicted to occur for approximately 22 months as a result of the main tunnel drive. During the evening at night-time, the assessment has predicted that construction noise levels would range between 67 and 71 dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 19 months during the main tunnel drive. For Riverlight block C (KS7), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 62 and 81dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 68 months during the following activities: G.11.13 Site set up and demolition - 9 months Shaft construction - 14 months Main tunnel drive and secondary lining 37 months Landscaping and remodelling of site 8 months.
G.11.11
G.11.12
The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 81dBLAeq is predicted to occur for approximately 1 month as a result of surface breaking during the site establishment works. During the night-time, the assessment has predicted that construction noise levels would range between 59 and 62 dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 3 months at the start of the main tunnel drive. For Battersea Power Station Block PS (KS10), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 65 and 72dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 68 months during the following activities: Site set up and demolition - 9 months Shaft construction - 14 months Main tunnel drive and secondary lining 37 months Landscaping and remodelling of site 8 months.

The worst case predicted noise level (approximately 74dBLAeq is predicted to occur for approximately 1 month as a result of surface breaking during the jetty construction. During the evening and night-time, the assessment has predicted that construction noise levels would range between 50 and 63 dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the ABC impact criterion threshold level for approximately 3 months at the start of the main tunnel drive, after which it is screened by other building within the development. For Battersea Power Station Block RS4 (KS11), the assessment has predicted that day time construction noise levels would range between 65 and 72dBLAeq. It is predicted that these noise levels would exceed the
