BEIS OPRED has published a letter to all stakeholders regarding their management of impulsive noise activities within the Southern North Sea SAC (SNS SAC).
Alongside Other Government Departments and Regulators they are actively seeking the co-operation of any Oil and Gas Operators who are or may be planning to undertake any noisy activities (including geological surveys, explosive activity or piling) within this area over the upcoming summer season [April – September].
BEIS OPRED therefore cordially request operators to provide information of any geological survey or noisy activity proposed that may impact the SNS SAC, including the type of activity, and the proposed geographical and temporal details. Please submit information details to OPRED via the Business Support Team at bst@beis.gov.uk by 28th February 2023 in the first instance.
