The turbine deployment area and majority of the export cable corridor are characterised by thick sediment cover. The deep water at the turbine deployment area means that wave action is unlikely to influence scour. The coast at the cable landfall is comprised of irregular basement rock, with mobile cobbles and boulders lying towards the west of the potential landfall site. The base case for cable landfall is installation via HDD; however the option of cable installation via a surface trench has been assessed as this would result in greater impacts compared with the HDD option. Through scoping, it was identified that the physical environment may be affected as a result of: • Effects on the coast at the export cable landfall; • Effects on the Scottish Water outfall; and • Introduction of scour within the Pilot Park. The coastal environment at the cable landfall is considered to be tolerable to change, due to its irregular rocky nature, and mobile cobbles and boulders, therefore the sensitivity of the rocky shore and seabed is considered to be low. Any changes are expected to be of short duration and minor magnitude. The beach at the cable landfall has a seawall for shore protection and the Buchanhaven combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharge pipe is located within the cable landfall footprint. This existing infrastructure could be impacted should the cable be installed across the beach (rather than via HDD). HSL will ensure any necessary measures are taken to protect the seawall and outfall during cable installation. There is potential for some limited areas of scour around suction anchors and if required scour protection will be installed over an area of not more than 15 m from the edge of each anchor. The impacts of this are assessed as relevant in other chapters of the ES e.g. benthic ecology. 8.1 Introduction This section assesses the impacts of the Project on the physical environment. A number of different specialists have contributed to this assessment: > MMT – seabed survey, video footage analysis, biotope mapping, seabed survey reporting; > GEO – geotechnical survey, soil analysis, survey reporting; > Statoil – metocean design basis; and > Xodus – landfall site walkover, geotechnical evaluation, geotechnical desk study report, phase 1 intertidal survey report, baseline description, impact assessment and ES chapter write up. Table 8-1 provides a list of the supporting studies which relate to the physical environment impact assessment. All supporting studies are provided on the accompanying CD. Hywind Scotland Pilot Park Project – Environmental Statement Assignment Number: A100142-S35 Document Number: A-100142-S35-EIAS-001-002 8-4 Table 8-1 Supporting studies Details of study Geophysical survey report (MMT, 2013a) Environmental survey report (MMT, 2013b) Geotechnical survey report (GEO, 2014) Geotechnical desk study report (Xodus, 2013a) Landfall site walkover report (Xodus, 2013b) Phase 1 intertidal survey report (Xodus, 2013c) Buchan Deep metocean design basis (Statoil, 2014) The focus of this physical environment assessment is to assess potential impacts on physical processes and sediment dynamics in the proposed turbine deployment area, the export cable route and cable landfall site as shown in Figure 8-1. The following areas are referred to in this impact assessment: > Project area (see Figure 1-2), which comprises: o Proposed offshore turbine deployment area: and o Export cable corridor and landfall. > Study area – area shown on Figure 8-1, which incorporates the proposed turbine deployment area and the export cable corridor. None of the impacts in this chapter are predicted to extend beyond the Project area, as impacts to currents, waves and sediment transport which often create the need for a wider study area were deemed negligible during scoping. > Survey area – area outlined in Figure 8-1, which incorporates the proposed turbine deployment area and the export cable corridor. 8.2 Legislative context and relevant guidance The EIA Regulations stipulate a requirement to assess the impacts of a project on water quality and sediment. The Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003, which implements the Water Framework Directive (WFD), should also be considered, with respect to River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) coastal water bodies. Information on current WFD RBMP status is summarised from the SEPA River Basin Management Plan information sheets (SEPA, 2009). There are no specific legislative controls relevant to the scope of the physical environment impact assessment. However there is specific guidance relevant in addition to the EIA guidance published by Marine Scotland and SNH: > Offshore Wind Farms. Guidance Note for Environmental Impact Assessment in Respect of FEPA and CPA Requirements. (Cefas, 2004); > Guidelines for data acquisition to support marine environmental assessments of offshore renewable energy projects (Cefas, 2012); > Assessment of the Significance of Changes to the Inshore Wave Regime as a consequence of an Offshore Wind Array (Cefas, 2005); > Coastal Process Modelling for Offshore Windfarm Environmental Impact Assessment (COWRIE, 2009); > Review of Cabling Techniques and Environmental Effects applicable to the Offshore Windfarm Industry (BERR 2008); and Hywind Scotland Pilot Park Project – Environmental Statement Assignment Number: A100142-S35 Document Number: A-100142-S35-EIAS-001-002 8-5 > Potential effects of offshore wind developments on coastal processes. (ABPmer and Metoc for DTI (now DECC) 2002). The Cefas guidelines highlight that direct impacts on hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics should be considered, along with secondary effects including water and benthic ecology (Chapter 9). 8.3 Scoping and consultation The bullets below summarise the key issues raised in the Scoping Opinion relevant to the physical environment impact assessment: > Concerns on impacts to the adjacent water body, so the ES should assess the significance of such alterations and discuss the implications of these with respect to shoreline and seabed morphology, and wider ecosystem health in line with River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) objectives. > Concern regarding the cable route and the Southern Trench MPA search area. This will need to be considered and effective mitigation proposed if significant impacts are anticipated. > Concern regarding changes to local bathymetry arising from open trenches or rock armour can impact the quality of the wave resource available for surfing. Table 8-2 summarises all consultation activities carried out relevant to the physical environment.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

The Council area is split into two distinct geographical types: the western part of the Council area is dominated by the Grampian mountain range and includes large areas of forest and moorland. The northern, eastern and southern parts of the Council area are somewhat less mountainous with large expanses of agricultural land, coastal grassland and a greater density of small towns. The population of the Aberdeenshire Council area is approximately 240,000 with largest urban populations residing in Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Inverurie, Stonehaven, Westhill and Ellon. A large proportion of the Aberdeenshire population is involved in the off-shore oil and gas industry. A significant proportion of the population are also involved in the traditional industries of farming, forestry and fishing with approximately one third of Scotland’s agricultural produce originating in the region. The industrial and commercial areas are primarily located in the east of the Council area around Aberdeen, Stonehaven, Peterhead and Fraserburgh.

The Peterhead OPR record of the event [1] reads:- ‘4th August 1819. John Forman, fisherman in Buchanhaven and Margaret Bruce his wife had a son baptised and named John’. When I started researching this part of my ancestry, I found it confusing that there were two John Forman’s one the son of the other who both married Margaret Bruce’s. To avoid confusion when both are being discussed together, I will call the father John Sr.

  • Projects Funded
    NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.
