Metadata: 2013, ORDTEK, Hywind Offshore Wind Farm, UXO Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Abstract:
Hywind Scotland (HWS) will be a pilot floating offshore wind project deploying up to 5 turbines that will be on a floating foundation anchored to the seabed. There may also be a requirement for a small amount of seabed infrastructure additional to the anchors. A single export cable from the project which will come ashore in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Statoil is the developer. The site is located in the area known as “Buchan Deep”, with a depth of water between approximately 93m – 120m. The HWS main site AOI is split by the Forties to Cruden Bay oil pipeline. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) residue from World War One (WWI), World War Two (WWII) and post-war dumping of explosive ordnance (EO) presents a potential risk to the development. Nevertheless, the UXO hazard can be managed safely and at best value to the project through a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved, the natural environment and the project development phases.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 27553 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2013, ORDTEK, Hywind Offshore Wind Farm, UXO Risk Assessment and Mitigation |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | UXO Risk Assessment and Mitigation |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 0e71d394-dda0-4160-b048-4a13fe9e6a6b |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-67 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Our research has focussed on the following: ? Military history of the area ? Official and unofficial munitions dumping sites ? Military weapon ranges and training areas ? Potential migration of dumped munitions ? Wrecks of vessels or aircraft that may have a legacy of UXO contamination ? Defensive and offensive minefields laid by both the German and British military forces ? Evidence of aerial warfare, including bombing, depth charge and torpedo deployment ? Evidence of naval surface and subsurface warfare and engagements |
