The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport has been advised that an environmental survey will take place in the vicinity of the Corrib gas field manifold and the Corrib treated surface water outfall diffuser. There will also be a post well environmental survey conducted in the area of the 18/20-5(P6) well.
| The surveys will all take place around the locations indicated below: | ||
| Corrib Manifold (SW3) | 54 20′ 20.413″ N | 011 03′ 30.770″ W |

The vessel to be used is the Granuaile, (Call Sign: EIPT). Water and sediments samples will be collected from a series of locations adjacent to the Corrib field (SW3) and the water outfall diffuser (SW1) using a grab sampler. All locations at SW3 are within a 2.5 km radius of the manifold. With the exception of a sample control site located approximately 10 km to the south west, all locations at SW1 are within 4 km of the diffuser. Cameras mounted on ROVs will take visual images of the seabed at each sample location.
