Piling operations were performed by GeoSea and IHC Hydrohammer BV on behalf of Vattenfall Wind Power Ltd, between 2nd and 24th May 2015. Ocean Science Consulting (OSC) Ltd was contracted to supply specialist underwater noise monitoring services before and during piling of four monopiles1, which was carried out between 29th April and 12th May 2015. This report provides results of both ambient noise and piling noise measurements, and underwater noise monitoring results, as required by 13 (1)(b) of Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Deemed Marine Licence under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009) of the Kentish Flats Extension Order 2013 and the Marine Management Organization (MMO).

In some instances, this compliance will not be feasible. True series This report provides results of both ambient noise and piling noise measurements, and underwater noise monitoring results, as required by 13(1)(b) of Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Deemed Marine Licence under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009) of the Kentish Flats Extension Order 2013 and the Marine Management Organization (MMO). The Marine Licence requirement was for monitoring the installsation of the first four foundations; however, due to two uncontrollable circumstances (the Vulcan's crew change was required during piling, and one of its engines malfunctioned) this was not possible; however, this was discussed and agreed with the MMO at the time. Noise measurements were taken for the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th piles. Vattenfall MDE@vattenfall.com pointOfContact EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry 2022-11-29 revision WGS 84
