Surface water quality. The Mersey Gateway Project (the project is the design, build and operation of a new bridge crossing of the Mersey Estuary in at Halton) is located adjacent to nine water courses, including the Mersey Estuary itself (the Estuary), that are either crossed by, or located in the vicinity of, the proposed works. These include canals, rivers, streams and brooks. The Project has the potential to affect the quality of water within these watercourses. This effect may be via direct or indirect discharge of substances as a result of its construction (for instance spillage of chemicals) or its operation (for instance run off of oil from road surfaces). The successful tenderer will be required to undertake surface water quality surveys to monitor water quality during the pre-construction phase for the Mersey gateway project to ensure a robust baseline data set is available up to the commencement of construction. Aquatic ecology. There are a number of features of ecological importance located within close proximity to the project. These include habitats, birds, animals and invertebrates some of which are protected by international and national legislation. In addition several of the habitats which are within the area where the project will be located are protected by local planning policy. These are known as Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) and Local nature reserves (LNR). These sites are designated mainly for the important birds that use them but also as a consequence of the habitats which are present. Immediately downstream of the Runcorn Gap, the Estuary is of international and national importance due to the habitats present and the wild birds, most notably wildfowl and waders, which they support. Species identified included some considered to be of international and national importance. The successful Tenderer will be required to undertake aquatic ecology surveys to ensure a robust baseline during the pre-construction phase for the Mersey gateway project. There is no guarantee of work or exclusivity of work under this framework.
