TRANSCRIPT
Previous agricultural land- Brown surface water gley- Good productive potential
Landscaped bing
Restored soils on opencast coal areas throughoutare vulnerable to compaction and erosion- Heterogeneous mixture of sand and clay soil textures across the restored areas.- Soil structure and nutrient availability potentially compromised by storage and restoration processes
Riparian areas on restored opencast site require vegetation for soil stabilisation
Wet woodland and open water areas currently providing valuable habitat for priority species
Landscaped mining void now asubstantial body of open water
Brown surface water gley currently under birch coppice - Good potential for long-term enrichment with productive broadleaves
Felled area requires restocking - 0.8 ha- Has been subject to recent land forming operations
Legacy of well constructed roading from opencast mine worksPerpetual access agreement with third party land owner in place
Historic settling pond infrastructure now providing valuable habitat diversity
Roading and access infrastructure installed
