1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This ‘Construction Method Statement’ (“CMS”) has been prepared by Belectric Solar
Ltd (“BELECTRIC”) on behalf of Big60Million Ltd (the Applicant) and supports a full
planning application to South Cambridgeshire District Council (the Local Planning
Authority [“LPA”]) for a proposed solar Photovoltaic (“PV”) farm (known as ‘Cambridge
Solar Farm’) at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA.
1.2 The development would generate up to 50 megawatt (“MW”) of renewable energy that
would be exportable to the Grid. The submitted Planning, Design and Access
Statement (“PDAS”) contains further details of the proposed development.

2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 The construction timeframe for the solar farm will extend across a 24-week period
that accords with the submitted Construction Traffic Management Plan (“CTMP”)
dated June 2015. Construction works will take place between the hours of 7am to
7pm (Monday to Friday) and 7am to 2pm (Saturday). No construction works will be
undertaken outside these hours or on Sundays, Bank or Public Holidays without
the prior written agreement of the LPA.
2.1.2 Construction of the solar farm will comprise of the activities detailed under Sections
2.2 and 2.3 below.
2.1.3 The relevant submitted planning drawings that support this CMS are contained in
Appendix 1 (Site Layout Plan, Construction Compound, O&M Access Track Details,
Substation Access Track Details, Point of Connection, 132/33 kV substation details
and Access Plan).
2.2.1 The site preparatory works (to take place in the first 4 weeks of start on site) will consist
of the following:
Upgrading the existing access point from Battle Gate Road. This will
be used by all vehicles entering the site from the west and as a heavy
vehicle crossing area.
It is notable that the access from St. Neots Road to Childerley Hall will
be via an existing unnamed minor road.
Upgrading the existing access point from Battle Gate Road to the
132/33 kV substation. This will be used as a heavy vehicle crossing
area.

2.2.2 The existing access point from Battle Gate Road will be improved for vehicles entering
and departing the site, as shown in Figure 2.1. This will provide a wide area to
accommodate HGV maneuvers.

2.2.3 In order to prevent loose stones from the access track to the site possibly appearing
on the highway, it is proposed that the heavy vehicle crossing area will be of a bound
material. The final details will be agreed with County Highways via a separate
Agreement (such as a s.184/ s.278 etc).
2.2.4 As shown in Figure 2.2, an access track for O&M will be constructed from Childerley
Hall (right after the junction with the unnamed minor road) to Battle Gate Road. The
track will provide access to the site itself and, inside it, will lead to the different
Collecting Stations located at the southern area of the site.

2.2.5 As part of the installation of the O&M Access Track, it will be necessary to lay a geotex
membrane or similar and covered with 'type 1’ 250-350mm hardcore material,
incorporating a mesh-stabilising system. It will be surfaced with gravel, as shown in
the cross section provided in Figure 2.3. The O&M Access Track, which is 4m or 6m
wide, will exist for the duration of the solar farm (i.e. 30 years from the date of
connecting to the Grid). During construction of the solar farm this track will be used
for both construction and compound access.

2.2.6 The existing access point from Battle Gate Road will be improved for vehicles
accessing the 132/33 kV substation, as shown in Figure 2.4. This will provide a wide
area to accommodate HGV maneuvers.
2.2.7 As shown in Figure 2.5, an access track to the 132/33 kV substation will be
constructed from Battle Gate Road.

2.2.8 As part of the installation of the Substation Access Track, it will be necessary to lay a
geotex membrane or similar and covered with 'type 1’ 250-350mm hardcore material,
incorporating a mesh-stabilising system. It will be surfaced with gravel, as shown in
the cross section provided in Figure 2.6. The Substation Access Track, which is 4m
wide, will exist for the duration of the solar farm (i.e. 30 years from the date of
connecting to the Grid).
2.2.9 To ensure the efficient management of the construction phase, two temporary
construction compounds will be set up for the duration of the construction phase. The
compounds will be located at the site’s western boundary next to each other, close to
the O&M access track. A third temporary construction compound will be located to the
north of the 132/33 kV substation (see Figure 2.7).
2.2.10 It is notable that the construction compound 3 layout is merely indicative, as the ICP
will be responsible for constructing the 132/33 kV substation and, therefore, for
arranging the compound.

2.2.11 Construction compounds 1 and 2 will be accessed via the O&M assess, as described
in paragraph 2.2.4-2.2.5 and shown in Figures 2.2 and 2.3. The construction
compound 3 will be accessed via the substation access track, as described in
paragraph 2.2.7-2.2.8 and shown in Figures 2.5 and 2.6.
2.2.12 The submitted construction compounds layout plan as well as the submitted site layout
plan are contained at Appendix 1 and show provisions for:
Site office.
Contractor parking.
Waste skips
2.2.13 The construction compounds will accommodate a range of vehicle sizes from private
cars (i.e. driven by construction staff) to 16.5m long HGVs.
2.2.14 The facilities at the construction compounds will typically be accommodated by the
use of 40ft steel storage containers as shown in Figure 2.8. Note that in some
instances, the storage containers are stacked together to create two-storey office
facilities.

2.2.15 The proposed construction compounds will be laid with non-ground penetrating and
removable TerrafirmaTM ‘Dura-base’ mat system (or of similar non-ground penetrating
mat technology) (NB. each mat is made of high density polyethylene plastic that is non-
slip and measures 2.44m x 4.27m x 0.1m thick and weighs 477kg) that will be bolted
together to create a temporary smooth surface. As shown in Figure 2.9, each mat can
support compressive loads of up to 40kg/cm2 – this is equivalent to approximately 40
tonnes. This will suitably accommodate the necessary storage containers on site as
well as enabling construction vehicles/personnel access (which will typically weigh up
to 20 tonnes) whilst protecting the soil on the site by preventing contamination as well
as reducing any trip hazards. A copy of the Durabase data sheet is contained at
Appendix 2.

2.2.16 It is notable that for health and safety reasons, it is proposed that there will be 6 no. of
diesel-powered mobile ‘Ecolite-T’ security lighting towers within the temporary
construction compounds (2 no. of in Compound 1; 3 no. of in Compound 2 and 1 no.
in Compound 3), solely for the construction period. This will allow the temporary on-
site security personnel to monitor and safeguard the construction equipment stored on
the compounds. Example photographs of an Ecolite-T is shown in Figure 2.10.
2.2.17 Each moveable lighting tower can be hydraulically adjusted in height by up to 9.1m and
will have 4 no. of 150-watt downward-facing prismatic lamps using Ceramic Discharge
12
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
Metal (“CDM”) Halide technology. Each lamp produces 14,500 Photopic Lumens
(26,100 Mesopic Lumens).
2.2.18 The lighting towers will only be switched on during the hours of darkness and are ‘UV
blocked’ to ensure it does not disorientate animals such as bats when near the
compound. A copy of the Youngman data sheet is contained at Appendix 3.
2.2.19 The indicative locations of the security lighting within the temporary construction
compounds are shown in Figure 2.11.
2.2.20 In terms of the proposed wheel washing area located on each construction compound
(i.e. close to its access point), all vehicles exiting the compounds will have its wheels
washed by dedicated on-site wheel-wash personnel. A diagram showing the wheel
wash facility is shown in Figure 2.12.

3. Pneumatic gun
4. Compressed air
2.2.21 The construction compounds are of a temporary nature and will be fully dismantled
and removed after the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the
area will be immediately restored to its original condition. Further details on the
reinstatement process are set out in Section 4 of this document.
Site Security
2.2.22 For security and safety purposes, the solar farm will be closed to the general public
throughout the construction phase and in addition to hazard warning signs, on-site
security staff will patrol the site. During the operational phase, there will be a 2m
high security fencing (deer fencing) surrounding the perimeter of the site with locked
steel mesh access gates. An example of deer fence used at another Big60Million Ltd
solar farm in Paddock Wood, Tunbridge Wells, is shown in Figure 2.13. Details of the
security fencing can be found in Appendix 4.
14
Construction Method Statement

2.2.23 In addition, the site will be equipped with 72 no. of 3.5m high pole-mounted CCTV
cameras along the perimeter fencing of the site. The poles will be coloured moss
green (RAL 6005), as in Figure 2.14, whilst the cameras (plastic in material) will be
white in colour.
Silt Fencing
2.2.24 In order to prevent any sedimentary deposits from the site (created during the
construction process) from potentially overflowing onto nearby waterbodies (and
affecting its water quality), BELECTRIC will ensure that suitable silt fencing (of a
geotextile material) will be erected around necessary parts of the perimeter of the site
prior to the start of the construction process. Once construction of the solar farm is
complete, the temporary silt fencing will be removed from the site (where necessary).
An example of silt fencing used at another Big60Million Ltd solar farm (during
construction) in Paddock Wood, Tunbridge Wells, is shown in Figure 2.15. Details of
the proposed silt fencing can be found in Appendix 5.

2.2.25 In terms of marking out the site, the following works will be undertaken:
Foundation marking for transfer station, collecting station and inverter platforms.
The exact locations will be marked using orange plastic sticks (commonly known
as ‘Carrots’).
The module support structure legs are pile-driven vertically into the ground to a
depth of approximately 950mm and the small holes filled with post grout. When
the modules are fixed to the supporting frame, the majority of the modules will
reach a maximum height of 2.5m above the ground level. However, subject to
site topography, a limited number of modules could extend to a maximum height
of 2.7m.
16
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
Wooden beams are then fixed to the support structure by a telescopic loader or
an excavator. The beams are hoisted onto the support and mounted in support
holsters. The beams are then secured.
Metal rails are mounted to the module support structure to fasten the system
together. The support structure is aligned and stabilized. The module rows are
oriented east to west.
Module Mounting
2.3.4 The modules are fixed to the supporting frames at an inclination and arranged in linear
rows. The rows are spaced to allow for shading, operation and maintenance access
and landscaping maintenance (e.g. grass cutting).
17
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
The solar modules are connected together using module connectors to create
strings.
The earth cables are connected with two Central Boxes. One is for ‘+’ and one
is for ‘-’.
Inverter Integration
2.3.6 A total of 25 no. of Double Inverter Platforms (“DIPs”) are required for the proposed
solar farm. The inverters are positioned on inverter platforms. As shown in Figure
2.20, the DIPs typically comprise of 2 no. of intelligent inverters (coloured white) and
a small transformer (coloured grey).

2.3.7 One Single Inverter Platform (“SIP”) is required for the proposed solar farm. Figure
2.21 shows the typical elevation of this equipment.
20
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
2.3.8 The inverter is a power conversion device that changes the direct current (DC)
generated by the PV modules into grid-compliant alternating current (AC) and feeds
this into the local electricity distribution network. The transformer is an electrical
device that alters the ratio of current and voltage in power to meet the requirements
of transmission grids and devices. The transformer is connected to a switchboard
adjacent to it. At the switchboard, it is possible to disconnect each transformer from
the grid in order to perform any maintenance tasks.
2.3.9 The inverter platform used by BELECTRIC is a single outdoor structure and is
considerably smaller than more commonly used inverter buildings. The structure sits
at the height of the solar PV tables and typically within the solar field array and, as
such, has low visual impact. The double inverter platform is 11.2m long by 1.9m wide
and 3m high. The single inverter platform is 6.4m long by 1.9m wide and 3m high.
The platforms will be lifted by a crane onto a pile driven foundation system at a depth
of 1.25m.
Collecting Station
2.3.10 As shown in Figure 2.22, a total of 5 no. of collecting stations (to be coloured moss
green RAL 6005) are required for the solar farm. The collecting stations will contain
the electrical safety switchgear. The switchgear comprises of disconnect switches
used to control and protect the electrical equipment, as well as to isolate the circuit if
a fault occurs in the solar farm and in the local electricity distribution network. Similar
to the transfer station, the collecting stations will be lifted by crane and positioned on
a concrete foundation. The collecting stations will be 8.3m long, 3.1m wide and 2.9m
high and will have minimal excavations with an excavated depth of approximately
0.8m.
21
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
Cable Trenching
2.3.11 Cable will be laid between the inverter platforms, transfer station and collecting
stations. There will be cable trenching between these points and the point of
connection. The cable will be laid under ground to a maximum depth of approximately
1m.
2.3.12 Once construction is complete, a grass mix will be spread on the land between the
modules.
2.3.13 The solar farm construction activities outlined above will take place between weeks 5
and 20 with the completion works being held in the last 4 weeks.
2.4.1 The solar farm and its electrical systems will be continually monitored remotely by our
subsidiary company known as ‘PADCON’ via the use of the PADCON communication
boxes/antenna and maximum 3m high monitoring camera.
2.4.2 Once construction is complete, PADCON personnel will visit the site in order to
integrate the various sensors and communication boxes of the system.

3 CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION
3.1 Noise
3.1.2 Although no significant adverse impacts are anticipated, the following mitigation
measures will be implemented:
All construction works will take place between the hours of 7am to 7pm (Monday
to Fridays); and 7am to 2pm (Saturdays). Any noisy works (i.e. works that are
audible outside the limits of the application site) will take place between the
hours of 8am to 7pm (Monday to Friday); and 8am to 1pm (Saturdays). No
construction or decommissioning works will be undertaken outside these hours
or on Sundays, Bank or Public Holidays without the prior written agreement of
the LPA.
Equipment will be maintained in good working order and will be turned off when
not in operation to eliminate unnecessary noise.
Where required, the appropriate noise attenuation equipment will be fitted to on-
site plant machinery and maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s
specifications.
3.2.2 To control, prevent and minimise dirt on the construction access route and emissions
of dust and other airborne contaminants during the construction works, the following
mitigation measures will be implemented:
23
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
Any soil stockpiles will be covered when left for extended periods of time.
Banksmen controlling access and egress from the site. This will ensure safe
vehicle movement onto and off the site.
All marshalling areas and site offices to be included within the site boundary.
Adequate storage space on site this will also ensure the site entrance is not
subject to any blockage at any time of the day.
All loads to be properly stowed and secured with a tarpaulin, where appropriate.
Routine sweeping/cleaning of dirt and stones from the site access road.
3.4.1 A copy of our health and safety induction document is contained at Appendix 6. This
document is distributed to all on-site personnel during the construction process and
details various emergency procedures and information.
3.4.2 In terms of pollution response, a Spill Control Plan (“SCP”) is typically produced for
all on-site personnel to be aware of regarding spillages. A copy of this is contained at
Appendix 7.
3.5.1 Minimal hedgerow, woodland or field margin removal may occur as part of the
development. Any removal of hedgerow will be carried out in accordance with the
Ecological Appraisal Report.
Construction Activities
3.5.2 All construction activities will take place at least 30m away from any active badger
setts on site.
3.5.3 All excavations will be suitably fenced and a means of egress provided for the duration
of construction to prevent animal entrapment.
24
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
Lighting
3.5.4 Lighting details have been provided in paragraphs 2.2.16 to 2.2.19 for the duration of
the construction period. No lighting issues are therefore anticipated and no mitigation
is considered necessary.
3.5.5 No significant effects are anticipated as a result of vehicle movements and associated
pollution during construction. Therefore, no mitigation is considered necessary.
Operational Phase
3.5.6 The grassland in between the solar arrays will act as part of the on-site enhancement
strategy. Establishing grassland requires rotivation or discing to prepare a seedbed in
areas currently used for arable crops. Seed with a native species rich seed mix would
be broadcast sown, following installation of the modules. No fertiliser will be used
following sowing in order to encourage species diversity and reduce the potential for
agricultural grass species to dominate the sward. The native grassland created will be
an optimum environment for skylark and other UKBAP listed species.
3.5.7 The ecological connectivity and the biodiversity of the site and local area would benefit
from hedgerows being thickened through native species planting. This would also
provide further habitat for protected species such as foraging bats and breeding birds.
3.5.8 Tree planting is considered to enhance the biodiversity of the site. This will improve
the habitat connectivity of the site to the local area and provide added shelter and
foraging opportunities for fauna, including breeding birds, bats, badgers, hedgehogs,
reptiles and amphibians. In addition bird and bat boxes will be installed on site.
3.6.1 A pre-construction badger survey will be undertaken on site prior to the start of
construction of the solar farm.
3.6.2 Tree guards will be checked and monitored at least once a year until the trees are
considered a sufficient size not to be damaged by rabbits or deer. The potential need
for weeding will be evaluated in the first season following installation and annually
thereafter to year 10.
3.6.3 The created hedgerows will be surveyed annually for the first five years during
condition monitoring, noting species composition, health and any other features of
ecological interest. The need for further monitoring will be reviewed following the
survey in year five.
Inert – as defined by regulation 7(4) of the Landfill Regulations (e.g. brick, glass,
concrete, clean sub soil such as sand or clay).
25
Construction Method Statement

3.7.2 Note that no hazardous wastes (as defined by the Hazardous Waste Regulations) are
expected to be generated on site.
3.7.3 The regulatory framework relating to site construction waste are as follows:
3.7.4 All the relevant provisions listed above will be complied with. The ‘Duty of Care’
obligations are a key requirement whereby the waste producer is responsible for
ensuring that their waste is collected by an appropriately authorised person and
managed at a suitably licensed facility. To meet these requirements, waste materials
will only be transported by waste carriers currently registered with the Environment
Agency. Each consignment of waste will be accompanied by a waste transfer note
that correctly describes the waste using the European Waste Catalogue code,
identifies the waste carrier and where the waste will be transported to. The waste will
only be transferred to facilities that have the benefit of an exemption, or an
environmental permit. Burning of surplus material or material arising from the site will
not be permitted within the site.
3.7.6 All construction waste generated will be collected on site and appropriately disposed
of off-site. Based on a number of our past solar farm developments we can provide
an estimation of the type and amount of construction waste generated for the solar
farm and that this is shown in Table 3.1.

3.7.7 Based on the above estimated figures, it is considered that the level of waste
generated for the solar farm development is proportionate and acceptable.
3.7.8 Waste will be segregated at source into separate containers and stored in a dedicated
area. Each skip/container will be clearly marked to indicate the intended contents and
will be suitable for storage of the specified contents. All skips will be covered to prevent
the escape of any waste. If liquid waste is being stored, an appropriate bund and drip
pans shall be in place to prevent the escape of spilled liquid beyond the storage area.
3.7.9 Storage areas will be located away from potential contaminant pathways such as
soakaways and drains, trial pits, excavations and trenches.
3.7.10 Skips/containers will be made available on site at strategic locations for the disposal
of waste materials (including domestic and trade waste, rubbish, off-cuts, surplus
concrete). The containers will be emptied on a regular basis and the waste disposed
of at an appropriate disposal facility.
3.7.11 The dumping of rubbish and material waste etc shall not be tolerated on any part of
the site outside of designated waste storage areas. All material wastes shall be
removed from the site and disposed of at an approved Waste Disposal depot.
Foul Sewerage
3.7.12 There will be 2 no. of toilet blocks (i.e. for male and female) and portaloos located
within the construction compound. The toilet blocks are converted 20ft steel storage
containers that accommodates a sludge tank. The portaloos also have a sludge tank.
The waste from the toilet blocks and the portaloos will be extracted once a week using
a licensed waste treatment vehicle. The number of portaloos will be determined by the
site manager during the construction phase.
27
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
3.7.13 Contaminated wastes may be generated in the form of spillages and leaks. Prompt
action for any spillage or leak will help reduce final volumes of waste produced.
3.7.15 If contaminated material is identified within excavations, the Environment Agency will
be informed and advice on disposal sought. The excavation will cease in order to
reduce the risk of mobilising the contaminants. The contaminated material will be
characterised on the special waste transfer note according to the European Waste
Catalogue and will be collected and disposed of by a registered licensed contractor.
Remediated on site
3.7.17 The option chosen will be dependent on the nature and toxicity of the materials
discovered, the pollution risks, the availability of appropriate remediation and the cost.
3.7.19 Soils mounds will be damped down (subject to appropriate licensing) as and when
weather conditions dictate.
3.7.20 Where possible, topsoil storage areas will be fenced off. Tracked machinery will not
be permitted over areas of stored topsoil to avoid potential damage and compaction
of the topsoil ‘crumb’ structure.
3.7.21 If damage occurs to the topsoil, the contractor will be required to rectify the damage
by the addition of suitable ameliorates or in the worst case, replace the damaged
topsoil.
3.7.22 Handling of topsoil will be avoided when it is very wet, because deformation occurs.
Soil will not be stripped or laid when it is wetter than the Plastic Limit (PL) and
preferably not when the moisture content is wetter than the PL. The PL can be
assessed in the field as the minimum moisture content at which the soils can be rolled
and moulded into a thick thread approximately 3mm in diameter without breaking or
cracking.
28
Construction Method Statement
Cambridge Solar Farm at land at Childerley Hall, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, CB23 8BA
3.7.23 Double handling of topsoil will be avoided at all times (apart from when being stored).
3.7.24 Where possible, any topsoil to be used again on the site will be located in specific
areas in order that any nearby existing dwellings are not affected by dust blow.
3.7.25 The construction site entrance and associated trackways will be cleaned where
necessary with a road sweeping facility. HGVs carrying spoil/construction materials
will be appropriately sheeted to prevent spillage or deposit of materials on the public
highway.

4 CONSTRUCTION COMPOUND
REINSTATEMENT
4.1 Once construction of the solar farm is complete, the temporary construction compound
will be fully decommissioned and that reinstatement works will commence in order to
revert the compound area back to its existing greenfield and rural character.
a) The expected construction start date is April 2016 and completion date of
the solar farm is September 2016. These timeframes are merely
indicative.
b) All temporary construction areas (including the areas of mud along the
margins of the site) will be reinstated to match the surrounding agricultural
landscape. Further details are set out under points ‘c’ to ‘g’ below.
e) To secure best results, the previously stripped soils will be brought back
over to the verges within as short a time period as reasonably possible in
order to give the seed bank and vegetation the best chance of early
regeneration.

economic and effective method to reduce stormwater run-off pollution from such locations.
They are special, high quality, permeable, technical filter fabrics, that can be installed as an
entrenched vertical barrier fence, and are designed to intercept and detain run-off - trapping
harmful silt through settlement and filtration before it leaves the site.
Hy-Tex Terrastop silt fence in use on National Grid’s
Performance: The benefits of silt fences are increasingly becoming recognised in Britain:
Felindre to Brecon gas pipeline project
The Environment Agency/SEPA Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG5) now recommend
the use of silt fences to reduce silt transport from exposed ground and stock piles; and
research at The James Hutton Institute, using Terrastop silt fencing, demonstrated that even
after post-harvest contour grubbing of potato fields an estimated 80 tonnes of soil containing
60-70 kg phosphate-P contaminants was trapped from a 17ha field [Dr Andy Vinten].
While in other countries where silt fences have been used Kirsty Liddon’s Edinburgh University

both gley and peat solutions.”
Key Features: General purpose non-woven and woven
geotextiles are unsuitable for silt fence use as they clog, overtop and inadequately filter
sediment due to poor hydraulic properties (typically less than 15 l/m²/sec) and often fail:
tearing and fraying (as they are too weak to withstand the forces of stormwater/silt build-up
without costly additional wire support fences) or becoming brittle quickly (due to lack of UV
protection). Terrastop™ Premium and HighFlow are manufactured specifically as silt fences
so have high tensile and burst strengths, premium UV stabilisation, woven structures with
tear resistant non-fraying reinforced edges, that are durable and self supporting between
fixing posts for reliability, as well as having a visually pleasing subtle green colour.
Terrastop Premium also incorporates an important special fibrillous weft yarn, combined with
a high quality weave, to enhance filtration, maintain flow and minimise clogging.
Installation Aids: Silt fences also often fail through poor installation or aftercare, therefore
Terrastop™ Premium incorporates pre-marked lines for burial depth and maximum silt
accumulation level to ensure correct set-up and maintenance; as well as a top ribbon strip to
simplify post attachment and tensioning.

Spill Control Plan
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This ‘Spill Control Plan’ (“SCP”) has been prepared by Belectric Solar Ltd
(“BELECTRIC”) on behalf of Big60Million Ltd (the Applicant) to provide information
relating to the issue of spill control during the construction of our solar farms.
1.2 This Spill Control Plan (“SCP”) has been prepared to provide pollution response
knowledge to all on-site personnel during the construction of one of our solar
Photovoltaic (“PV”) farms.
1.3 The purpose of this SCP is to establish procedures and best management practices
(“BMPs”) that will be implemented to prevent oil discharges from occurring during site
clearing and construction. This SCP also presents the framework for responding to a
spill or release of oil during construction.
1
Spill Control Plan
2.1.1 Multiple construction-related petroleum products will likely be present on-site during
the site clearing and construction phases. These petroleum products include, but
are not limited to, the following:
Diesel fuel
Gasoline
Motor oil
Hydraulic fluid
Brake fluid
Crankcase oil
General lubricants
2.1.2 Mobile construction equipment and supporting vehicles are identified as the primary spill
hazards associated with site clearing and construction of the solar farm. Spill
prevention, containment, and recovery BMPs are listed for each identified hazard. Four
primary sources of potential petroleum product spills were identified:
Equipment leaks
Re-fuelling spills
Equipment failure
2.2.1 BMPs will be designed and implemented to prevent spills or releases of petroleum
products. The BMPs proposed can be broken into four basic categories:
1) Training
3) Inspections
2
Spill Control Plan
2.2.2 A complete copy of this SCP shall be maintained at the construction compound main
site office, and available for on-site inspections during normal business hours.
2.2.3 Prior to the commencement of land clearing and construction activities, BELECTRIC will
provide a copy of this SCP to its employees and subcontractors.
2.2.4 BELECTRIC and/or its subcontractors shall train their employees on the requirements
of this SCP and proper implementation of BMPs including, but not limited to, daily
inspection protocols, fuelling protocols, and spill detection and response protocols.
2.2.5 A temporary staging area shall be designated for the proper and safe storage of un-
used equipment and storage of any hazardous materials.
2.2.6 Off-site fuelling will be utilised to the maximum extent practicable, but when necessary,
on-site fuelling will occur in a designated fuelling area within the staging area.
2.2.7 The on-site fuelling area will be established on a level surface and bermed to prevent
run-on, run-off, and also contain any spills.
2.2.8 Spill response equipment and materials will be located in a highly visible location at the
on-site fuelling station.
2.2.9 The on-site fuelling area will be no less than 45m from a waterbody or drainageway.
2.2.10 Tracked equipment may be fuelled outside of the designated fuelling area but only in a
location at least 45m away from any waterway.
2.2.12 Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles will occur off-site to the
maximum extent practicable.
2.2.13 Drip pans shall be used for vehicular equipment kept at the staging area.
2.3.1 All equipment containing petroleum products will be visually inspected at the start and
conclusion of each day for signs of visible leaks or releases.
2.4.1 Spill kits shall be highly visible and located at the staging area and fuelling station. Spill
kits shall also be located in reasonable proximity to areas of the site under construction.

Instructions on how to use the kit (including appropriate contacts for reporting
spill).
Personal protective gear such as safety glasses, gloves, coveralls and boot
covers.
Anti-static shovels.
Plastic sheeting.
Air horn.
2.5.1 Spill response shall consist of containment, notification and clean-up. The order of the
response is dependent upon the nature of the spill or release and the exercise of prudent
judgment. Personal safety is the primary goal of the spill response.
2.5.2 Upon detection of a spill or release, the person detecting the spill shall immediately stop
work and formulate a response plan.
2.5.3 The response plan shall be based upon the source of the spill, size of the spill, direction
and rate of travel, and potential containment/recovery locations prior to entering water.
2.5.4 Personal safety is the primary goal when developing a response plan.
Spill Clean-up
2.5.6 Used oil-absorbent materials will be placed in a covered, labelled drum for proper
disposal.
2.5.7 Any contaminated soil will be collected and placed in a covered, labelled drum for proper
disposal. The impacted area will be carefully inspected to ensure that all contaminated
soil is removed.
