ABSTRACT Coatham Sands, the Land fall site for the Central Area transmission System (CA13) pipeline, is recognised as an important ecological system by the UK Government. Ensuring its protection while at the same time constructing a pipeline to transport valuable North Sea gas reserves required extensive cooperation and open consultations between industry and conservation organizations. This paper describes the SUCCESS of this relationship and the methods used during the construction and restoration period, both of which have universal application throughout the petroleum industry. INTRODUCTION Protecting the environment while continuing to develop hydrocarbon reserves, is the twin challenge facing today's petroleum companies throughout the world. In the UK, this challenge was undertaken by Amoco (U.K.) Exploration Company during the construction of the Central Area Transmission System (CATS) pipeline on the landfall site on the north east coast of England. An important staging post for migratory birds, the area is recognised by the British Government as one requiring particular protection as a "Site of Special Scientific Interest," commonly referred to as "SSS1". For industry, this means that before Government approval can be given to work in the area, construction and restoration plans must first be reviewed and accepted by local and national environmental organizations to ensure the minimum disruption to the site, and reinstatement as close as possible to its original condition. In 1990, Amoco began this process of consultation and has continued it throughout the construction and restoration period. The following paper will describe the nature and extent of this cooperation the benefits to both industry and conservationists of effective and open communication, and the environmental methods successfully applied throughout the project. LANDFALL AND SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS The Central Area Transmission System (CATS) is a 255 mile, 36 inch diameter pipeline transporting gas to England from the Central Graben area of the North Sea, approximately 150 miles east of Scotland. The pipeline has a capacity of 1.6 billion cubic feet of gas per day and will deliver gas to Teesside, an industrial area, as shown on Figure 1. Together with the governmental authorities it was determined that the optimum landfall location would be Coatham Sands and Common near the town of Redcar in Teesside. This selection was made after an evaluation of various landfalls, taking into account safety, engineering feasibility, and causing the least disturbance to the community and the environment. Although Teesside is highly industrialized, the area around Coatham Sands and Common is designated as environmental y sensitive due to the unusual species diversity of birds, flora and fauna which inhabit the location. The terrestrial ecology ranges from sand dunes to grassland to salt marshes as shown on Figure 2 and consists of some nationally scarce plants, many that are rare to the local area. There are a significant number of orchids, namely the Fragrant, Marsh and the Bee orchid which was thought to have vanished from northern England.

Abstract This paper outlines the basic requirements for Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Guidelines in field operations, and how they relate to the overall E, H&S management plan for an organization. The paper addresses the delivery of specific guidance to field personnel. The main segments of field procedures are briefly described, including:Policy and guiding principles. General principles and administration. Hazard identification, hazard control and operating procedures. Environmental protection. Emergency response. Training and education. Contractor requirements. The paper also discusses new methods to deliver updated or new guidance to personnel in a cost effective and efficient manner, and also contains a partial listing of relevant reference information. Policy and Guiding Principles There must be agreement between the various stakeholders to save and protect the public, employees and company property with respect to environment health and safety. This requires development and implementation of an overall policy statement and a set of general guiding principles by the company and acknowledgement by all employees to accept and work within these "rules" and to proactively promote them within the company and its operations. It is important to realize that at the present time the structure of organizations has changed dramatically and the lines between management and employees have become blurred, if indeed they have not disappeared. For certain operations, front line employees or contractors may carry a high degree of responsibility and may be considered management if this is orally understood or outlined in employment or contractual agreements. Typically a company policy contains a commitment to:Safeguard human health and protect the environment in all of its operations; Assess the effects on worker safety as well as potential impairment of the environment and public health resulting from development activities; Comply with all laws and regulatory requirements in business activities; Reduce to an absolute minimum the final reclamation cost; Implement remedial measures in an efficient and effective manner in the event of mishap. The policy must be signed by the chief executive officer of the company and publicly displayed to be effective. Underlying the policy are guiding principles which address responsibility of all workers, priority of EH&S, recognition of excellent performance and emphasis on continuous improvement. It is important to recognize the limitations of guidelines, the possibility of human error and the need to be constantly on the alert for hidden or poorly understood risks. Finally, it is important to obtain the signed commitment of all employees and contractors to abide by these principles. General Principles and Administration These are required to convert the policy into specific and workable guidelines with definition of expected performance and measurement of same. These may be broken down into the following topics. Responsibility There are three levels of responsibility that encompass all work situations-management, supervisors, and employees or workers.
