The aim is to identify areas of enhanced concentrations of contaminants, and allow interpretation in terms of location and relative degrees of contamination. This information will then be used to in the ES to assess potential impact on benthic fauna and wider marine environment. The need for this survey arises due to the proximity of the wind farm arrays to an offshore spoil ground and the historical disposal of contaminants (e.g. dredge spoil, waste fly ash, and sewage sludge) in the sea along this stretch of coast. The history of disposal at the site increases the potential for local sediments to act as a sink for contamination. Construction activities associated with cable lying and turbine installation may release sediment into the water column which could be deposited in adjacent, potentially low contaminant areas.", "includedInDataCatalog": { "@id": "https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/json-ld/catalog.jsonld" }, "conditionsOfAccess": [ "access: There will be no limitations when published on the Marine Data Exchange", "use: Data Must be used in accordance to the Marine Data Exchange's Terms of Use: https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/content/info/terms-of-use" ], "temporalCoverage": "2010-09-30/2010-11-02", "keywords": [ { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/SPCB/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "SPCB", "name": "Concentration of polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in sediment samples" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/SCAH/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "SCAH", "name": "Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment samples" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/CBSD/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "CBSD", "name": "Carbon concentrations in sediment" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/RACC/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "RACC", "name": "Sediment accumulation rate" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/STOM/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "STOM", "name": "Concentration of organic matter in sediments" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/MNGS/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "MNGS", "name": "Sediment grain size parameters" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M04/current/M0402/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M04/current/", "termCode": "M0402", "name": "Consenting" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/M0308/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/", "termCode": "M0308", "name": "Offshore area of search" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/16/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/", "termCode": "16", "name": "Soil" } ], "spatialCoverage": { "@type": "Place", "geo": { "@type": "GeoShape", "box": "55.1 -1.27 55.24 -1.53" }, "additionalProperty": [ { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "https://apps.epsg.org/api/v1/GeodeticCoordRefSystem/4326", "value": "WGS 84" } ] }, "author": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "French Electricity Company/ EDF Renewables", "description": "owner", "email": "info@edf-re.uk", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "maintainer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Crown Estate", "description": "custodian", "email": "enquiries@thecrownestate.co.uk", "telephone": "+44 020 7851 5000", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "producer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Entec UK Ltd.", "description": "originator", "email": "marketing.ukenvironment@amec.com", "telephone": "+44 (0)191 272 6100", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "publisher": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Crown Estate", "description": "pointOfContact", "email": "mde@thecrownestate.co.uk", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "provider": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Crown Estate", "description": "distributor", "email": "enquiries@thecrownestate.co.uk", "telephone": "+44 020 7851 5000", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "creator": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "French Electricity Company/ EDF Renewables", "description": "owner", "email": "info@edf-re.uk", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "sdPublisher": { "@type": "Organization", "url": "https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/", "name": "Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN)", "description": "The MEDIN portal contains information about 19784 marine datasets from over 600 UK organisations.
