Dear Judy Pittock
We’re writing to update you on the progress of our survey work for a proposed new reservoir in Lincolnshire.
Since we last wrote to you in March, we’ve successfully established a works compound on land off Mareham Lane near Scredington, and are conducting a range of surveys to help us understand more about the land we could be working on.
This work includes a series of non-intrusive surveys such as habitat surveys, aquatic surveys and geophysical investigations. As always, our teams are taking care to avoid disturbing any species or habitats within the areas in which they are working wherever possible.
We’re also conducting key ground investigations including boreholes and trial pits. These are being regularly monitored and, where relevant, samples are being taken. We apologise in advance if you hear some noise associated with these techniques. We will do our best to minimise any disruption. Once these surveys have been completed, the land will be reinstated.
To reiterate, this is not a sign of construction work starting on the project. The surveys, which will continue through to early autumn, will be used to inform our proposals as they continue to be developed.
Our Community Liaison Group members received a similar update at our latest meeting on 25 June, and had the opportunity to meet Wayne Scholes, the site manager of our new compound. For those that didn’t attend, hopefully this email provides a useful summary of our progress.
As a reminder, more information can be found in our supporting document here . This document explains the survey techniques in more detail and how they are being managed on site.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation. Our usual channels of communication (list below) remain open should you have any queries relating to the above information.
Yours sincerely,
Kelly Linay
