The project consists of 27 turbines at Lynn and 27 turbines at Inner Dowsing and is located 5 km to 8.5 km off the Lincolnshire coast. Installation of the foundations and transition pieces at the two sites was completed in 2007. In 2008, the turbines were installed and construction works concluded with the installation of the export and inter-array cables. During the period from May 2008 to December 2008, the wind farms were partially operational during turbine testing and the wind farms were commissioned on 23rd December 20081. The LID projects are owned by GLID Wind Farms Topco Ltd (GLID), and managed by CREL on behalf of GLID. This annual report, consisting of an overview and Technical Appendices, presents the results of a second year of post-construction environmental monitoring at the LID sites. The second year of post-construction monitoring is represented by the period January 2010 to December 2010 (inclusive), although the exact period varies by survey parameter (e.g. the fish surveys continued to June 2011). The results from construction phase monitoring (2007 – 2008) are presented in CREL (2009) and results from the first year of post-construction monitoring (2009) are presented in CREL (2010). This overview report has been prepared with the following objectives: To present a summary of the methods and findings of the second year of post-construction monitoring to the Licensing Authority in line with FEPA requirements; To present a summary of the comparisons carried out between the findings of the second year of post-construction monitoring and the findings of previous monitoring years, in order to highlight any significant changes or trends; and To integrate the findings of the different monitoring activities, where relevant. The remaining sections of this report are structured as follows: Section 2 provides details of the FEPA Licence requirements with regards to post-construction monitoring; Section 3 provides a summary of the Year 2 post-construction surveys carried out; Section 4 then provides an overview of the methods employed for each second year post-construction monitoring activity, in addition to a summary of the results; Section 5 draws together the results and findings of the different monitoring activities to provide a discussion regarding the conclusions of the monitoring;and Finally, a series of Technical Appendices provide the reports from individual survey activities. completed Centrica Energy Centrica plc, Millstream, Maidenhead Road Windsor Berkshire SL4 5GD United Kingdom renewables@centrica.com L&ID.DocumentControl@centrica.com http://www.centrica.com/ custodian RPS Energy, Project Manager Goldsworth House,, Denton Way, Goldsworth Park, Woking, Surrey, GU21 3LG, rpsenergy@rpsgroup.com www.rpsgroup.com originator notPlanned Renewable Energy Lease area The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Post-Construction monitoring The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Phases 2012-05-15 revision 1 habitat SeaDataNet keyword types 2015-03-13 revision 3 Marine Mammals Global Change Master Directory Science Keyword variables 2007-04-18 revision 4 beach profile seabed birds Marisaurus Thesaurus 2010-09-22 revision 28 Beach Profile Erosion Oregon Coastal Atlas Coastal Erosion Thesaurus markup terms 2011-08-20 revision 3 Underwater Noise Seabed survey profile MEDIN Data Guidelines 2012-05-01 revision 3 fish SeaVoX Platform Categories 2015-03-27 revision 11 Benthic community indicies Marine Strategy Framework Directive indicators 2010-11-11 revision 1 Birds SeaDataNet Cruise Summary Report data categories 2011-12-09 revision 3 Coastal Processes Global Change Master Directory Science Keyword terms 2007-04-18 revision 4 Marine archaeology SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2016-02-17 revision 91 Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Marine Environmental Data and Information Network http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx copyright otherRestrictions copyright otherRestrictions http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx eng biota environment 0.429574612037093 0.490668789094874 53.1235139054851 53.2139573121939 2012 2012 http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/search?q=#fq=fq%3DProject%253Amde1r1lid3415 download https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/1052/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site. series This metadata file has been created by Centrica Energy for the purpose of publishing this data to the Marine Data Exchange
