Metadata: 2011, RPS, Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Decommisssioning of Meteorological Mast and Trial Pile
Abstract:
Centrica Renewable Energy Ltd (CREL) on behalf of GLID Wind Farms TopCo Limited (GLID) proposes to decommission and remove the trial pile (test pile) within the Lynn Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) site. The Lynn OWF site lies within the boundary of the Inner Dowsing, Race Bank and North Ridge cSAC. Some of the qualifying features for which this cSAC is proposed under the Habitats Directive are: 'sandbanks which are slightly covered by the sea at all times' and 'reefs', in this case biogenic reefs of the worm Sabellaria spinulosa (JNCC, 2010). Consultation was therefore undertaken with Natural England who advised on using the most recent dataset showing the locations of Annex I habitats within the area, as provided by Earth Sciences & Surveying (EGS) Ltd (EGS, 2011). This information will enable Natural England to provide advice on any nature conservation issues in relation to the interest features of the cSAC.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18664 |
| 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. | 2011, RPS, Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Decommisssioning of Meteorological Mast and Trial Pile |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Decommisssioning of Meteorological Mast and Trial Pile |
| 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. | 4bbd4df9-e9e5-4b98-96cc-7330a852d506 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1045 |
| 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 |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-02-25 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-02-25 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The decommissioning and removal of the test pile will involve the use of one jack-up vessel (MV Resolution) which will be mobilised to the test pile location (Drawing JER3921-LID-005). The test pile will be removed using an abrasive water cutting tool or diamond wire system managed by divers. The pile will be cut off to around seabed level and the section of the pile below the cut will remain in-situ. The detached segment will then be lifted onto the deck of the MV Resolution. All cutting works will be carried out from inside the pile to minimise disturbance to the surrounding environment. Works will be carried out over approximately 5 days assuming good weather. |
