Preliminary assessment of the environmental baseline in the Fylde, Lancashire. British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/18/020.

This report details the activities being carried out by BGS and Partners to establish the baseline environmental conditions in the Fylde before any shale-gas exploration begins. The project activities are independent of operations at the Preston New Road site and of environmental regulation and regulators. The research is ongoing and the project team will continue in its remit to acquire and report data and evidence for the characterisation of baseline conditions. We are also committed to continuing environmental monitoring through any exploration stage, including during hydraulic fracturing, should this take place. Update reports will be provided as the project progresses, including through the BGS website: www.bgs.ac.uk/lancashire.
