Heritage Operation Assessment

The key potential impact associated with Project operation is anchor damage upon exposed
artefacts or targets of potential archaeological interest.  Accordingly, a buffer zone shall be
implemented to ensure adequate separation between permanent structures and targets of
archaeological potential (see Mitigation & Monitoring).

The ultimate value of targets will be subject to the findings of the additional penetrative survey but
at the EIA stage, all targets are conservatively assumed to be of high / very high marine
archaeological value.  The disturbance magnitude of works is considered as negligible, and
therefore only minor impacts are anticipated during Project operation.
