At the outset of the Corrib Development a commitment was made to reinstate habitats disturbed by construction and, where appropriate \/ feasible, to put in place biodiversity enhancement measures. As reported in the first BAP, in 2011 Corrib was chosen, amongst others, as a pilot case for the testing of the No Net Loss (NNL) and No Positive Impact (NPI) principles for the Shell Group. The study was conducted by the Biodiversity Consultancy<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiodiversityconsultancy.com\/\">1<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0which took all project elements into consideration and found that \u201c<em>without any existing NNL policy, best practice at Corrib has resulted in a project design which is predicted to be Net Neutral or Net Positive for biodiversity by 2020\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0 This has been borne out by the positive effects from habitat enhancement and diversification measures that are already becoming evident, with, for example, wetland creation attracting a range of invertebrate species and leading to an increase in recorded bat species recorded. Similarly, the extensive planting of native species of deciduous trees and shrubs planting is beginning to show positive effects in terms of observed invertebrate diversity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a966b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3a966b3\"

This method of development represents the best solution in terms of safety and the environment and is in line with the most up-to-date industry practice.<\/p><p>Minimising the environmental impacts of the project was an important objective for the Corrib gas field development.\u00a0 The use of best available technology and the integration of environmental protection practices into the design, construction and operation of all aspects of the project helped to meet this objective.<\/p><p>To ensure that environmental considerations are adequately covered, Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) were prepared for the construction phases of the development. The implementation of the plans ensured that preventative and management measures identified in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) were implemented throughout the construction phase. This ensured that the environmental impacts associated with the construction were avoided, minimized and mitigated. Prior to commencement of construction, construction method statements were prepared and agreed with the appropriate consent authorities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb03a83 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb03a83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Corrib Gas Terminal\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5153d75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5153d75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Bellanaboy Bridge Gas Terminal is operated in accordance with an environmental management system.<\/p><p>Emissions from the terminal are monitored to demonstrate that emissions are within stringent limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the conditions of the Industrial Emissions License.<\/p><p>The EPA has confirmed that emissions from the Corrib gas terminal &#8220;will not adversely affect human health or the environment and will meet all relevant national and EU standards, when operated in accordance with the conditions of the proposed licence&#8221;.<\/p><p>As part of the planning application for the Bellanaboy Bridge Gas Terminal, an Environmental Impact Assessment was carried out on the basis of the Environmental Impact Statement, which was submitted to the planning authority as part of the overall planning process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64c640e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"64c640e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Corrib Gas Pipeline\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e85b38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e85b38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A key criterion in the identification of the modified route for the onshore pipeline was the environmental impact of its location.

For example, at the Leenamore inlet. To achieve this,\u00a0 large turves of the salt marsh vegetation were temporarily relocated. Before removal they were geotagged to ensure their correct positioning when replaced. The turves were\u00a0 stored in an adjacent intertidal zone in order to maintain the correct tidal influence. The intertidal habitat layers (cobbles and benthic layers) were also temporarily translocated, stored separately and then put back into the bed of the inlet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59f810a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"59f810a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/12\/leenamore-wayleave.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1294\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/12\/leenamore-wayleave.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/12\/leenamore-wayleave-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/12\/leenamore-wayleave-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7d54d69 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"7d54d69\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-092a4d9 elementor-nav-menu--dropdown-tablet elementor-nav-menu__text-align-aside elementor-nav-menu--toggle elementor-nav-menu--burger elementor-widget elementor-widget-nav-menu\" data-id=\"092a4d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;layout&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;submenu_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&lt;i class=\\&quot;fas fa-caret-down\\&quot;
