Metadata: 2004, EMU, Kentish Flats, Pre-Construction Debris Survey
Abstract:
In accordance with the FEPA licence, there is a requirement to undertake pre-construction and postconstruction surveys of the Kentish Flats windfarm site to determine whether any debris has been left on the seabed or significant changes to the seabed profile have occurred as a result of the construction activity. Emu Limited was commissioned by NEG Micon UK Ltd. to perform hydrographic surveys of the turbine locations and cable routes in order to determine this. This report describes the pre-construction debris survey, commissioned to determine the current seabed conditions at the site. This is a baseline data set for comparison with data collected during the post-construction survey. The survey vessel Midnight Express was used to conduct the work over the windfarm site between 6th - 11th August 2004. Data were collected over the entire windfarm site, including turbine locations, cable routes and area around the meteorological mast. A single-beam echosounder was used to determine seabed levels across the site for the production of a colour contour plot. Any seabed anomalies have been identified on the seabed features chart.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19712 |
| 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. | 2004, EMU, Kentish Flats, Pre-Construction Debris Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Debris Survey |
| 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. | f5d4e791-e9e6-482e-842e-f759f6c83322 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-807 |
| 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 | 2004-08-06 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2004-08-10 |
| 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'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The data collected during this survey were of a good quality, the required coverage was obtained, and the data have passed Emu’s quality assurance checks. There was a good correlation between the seabed features identified on the sidescan sonar data with the single beam bathymetry collected over the area. The data collected during this survey period will be used for comparison to data collected immediately post-construction. |
