Following an initial habitat screening exercise (CMACS, 2015a2), proposed methodology was drafted and consulted upon with statutory authorities and a programme approved in late June/early July (CMACS, 2015b3). Benthic surveys were undertaken accordingly in late July 2015. The report within this series details field operations, which involved grab and drop down video (DDV) work. A short report detailing the presence/absence of Annex I Habitat will be generated following review of imagery and videos, potentially including a mitigation plan, if required. A comprehensive technical report detailing sediment and infaunal sample, image and video analysis and interpretation will be produced in due course, the results of which will then be used to generate post-construction methodology proposals.

The work consisted of an extensive Day grab and 2m scientific beam trawl programme, in addition to intertidal surveys (CMACS, 20131). More recently, DONG contracted CMACS to undertake environmental monitoring for the Project, with a specific focus on Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) Annex I habitat and habitats of conservation or ecological importance in order to satisfy requirements of the two English marine licences (EN010026) and one Welsh licence (13/17/ML). Schedule 2 of the English Development Consent Order (DCO) covers the Generation Asset (i.e. turbines, turbine foundations, and inter array cables) while Schedule 3 covers the Transmission Asset (i.e. the offshore substation, substation foundation and the section of the export cable in English waters). The Welsh licence covers the export cable in Welsh waters and the landfall. Following an initial habitat screening exercise (CMACS, 2015a2), proposed methodology was drafted and consulted upon with statutory authorities and a programme approved in late June/early July (CMACS, 2015b3).
