Description

Chapter 20: UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE

While this topic does not constitute a receptor in the EIA process, it is presented as a project stressor to ensure its potential interactions and management requirements are clearly understood.

This chapter provides baseline information on unexploded ordnance (UXO) within the Celtic Sea, including sources, distribution, and typologies.

It identifies relevant datasets and guidance used to characterise UXO risk, encompassing remnants of sea mines, aerial bombs, projectiles, rockets, and munitions dumps. The section outlines procedures for UXO risk assessment and management during the development lifecycle.

This information establishes the technical context for evaluating UXO considerations in relation to FLOW infrastructure siting and installation.
