Orkney Sustainable Energy have been contracted to design the project on behalf of the farm. It is proposed that a single wind turbine will be installed on land belonging to the farm, between the communities of Whiterashes, Pitmedden and Udny, to the south of Oldmeldrum. The preliminary turbine chosen for the development is the Enercon E70 2MW, manufactured in Germany. The turbine model may change, subject to availability, however for the purposes of this report the E70 has been used to show a typical machine for the development. The electricity generated will be traded to meet the requirements of the Renewables Order (Scotland) 2002. The concept of a locally owned wind energy development was initiated by the farmer concerned. Following consultation with Aberdeenshire Council Planning department, approaches were made to the Community Council, the Ministry of Defence, the Civil Aviation Authority, BAA, National Air Traffic Services, Transco. National Grid, OFCOM and the relevant telecommunications companies. No significant concerns have been raised during preliminary consultation, although the National Grid did indicate that the turbine should be positioned 90m from the two major gas pipelines that traverse the farm. As a result of the various design studies, the wind turbine has been positioned to maximise distances to neighbours to avoid shadow impact and to have minimal noise impact. Visual impact studies have been completed, including a set of high quality photomontages and maps showing zones of visual influence. Ecological impact has been considered, including a habitat survey, a mammal survey, and a breeding bird survey. Detailed assessment on the archaeology of the site and surrounding area has been completed and analysis of the development includes a geological and hydrogeological survey, extensive modelling, a description of the wind turbine, detailed maps of the development and a description of the construction process. It is proposed that a small locally owned wind energy project is feasible for this part of Aberdeenshire, with low impacts upon ecology and the local community. Strong social and economic benefits can be achieved by constructing the wind energy project,. along with the associated climate change benefits resulting from renewable energy production. OSE/2832 5 Final Report Mains of Bogfechel Wind Energy Project October 2007 1 Introduction Aberdeenshire has the potential to become an important area for wind energy development; a number of projects have been proposed for the county, primarily as large scale windfarms on hilltop and forested locations. The Mains of Bogfechel project is an alternative to this pattern of development, and has been designed as a single wind turbine to avoid dominating the landscape, while providing strong economic benefits necessary for the economic security of the local farming community. The project shall also provide a further contribution to the development of clean energy as encompassed within government policy. Orkney Sustainable Energy were approached by the farmer concerned in the spring of 2007, leading to a preliminary design and initial consultation. Once overall turbine heights had been clarified, Defence Estates concluded that they had no significant concerns as the site has had a wind turbine for a number of years, allowing detailed ecological and environmental studies to begin. These studies concluded that a single replacement wind turbine was appropriate for the area, resulting in the detailed design and development of the site. The farmer and landowner at Main of Bogfechel has led the development throughout the process. The Mains of Bogfechel project has been designed around the Enercon E70 2MW wind turbine, however the actual turbine model may alter nearer the time of construction; the site layout and all modelling has used a 58m tower, a 6m hub a 32m blade length. There are 11 and 33 kV electricity transmission lines connecting the communities of Whiterashes, Pitmedden and Udny, with the turbine connected to this system using underground cabling via a switchgear building at the site of the existing derelict wind turbine. The average wind speed in this part of Aberdeenshire is predicted to be between 7.8 and 8.2 metres per second (m/s), compared with 10 m/s predicted at the summits of nearby hilltops. These windspeeds are due to the lower elevation of the site, chosen with the aim of reducing visual effects and avoiding radar impact. Based on manufacturers predictions, a single 2MW wind turbine located on this farm will have a capacity factor of around 31% and produce 5,500 MWh of renewable electricity per annum, equivalent to the domestic requirements of 1200 households, assuming an average consumption of 4,600 kWh per annum. Electricity produced from renewable resources avoids the emission of pollution, and the production of 5,500 MWh of wind electricity is projected to avert the production of around 2,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum(Carbon Trust). The Mains of Bogfechel project provides a very good contribution towards the Scottish Executive annual carbon reduction targets; http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Environment/Climate-Change/.

    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.

    24 Sedimentology of the Ythan Estuary, Beach and Dunes, Newburgh Area

    24 SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE YTHAN ESTUARY, BEACH AND DUNES, NEWBURGH AREA N. H. TREWIN PURPOSE The object of the excursion is to examine recent sedimentological features of the Ythan estuary and adjacent coast. Sedimentary environments include sheltered estuarine mud flats, exposed sandy beach and both active and stabilised wind blown sand dunes. Many of the sedimentary features to be described are dependent on local effects of tides, winds and currents. The features described are thus not always present, and the area is worth visiting under different weather conditions particularly during winter. ACCESS Most of the area described lies within the Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve and all notices concerning access must be obeyed, particularly during the nesting season of terns and eider ducks (Apr.-Aug.) when no access is possible to some areas. Newburgh is 21 km (13 miles) north of Aberdeen via the A92 and the A975. Parking for cars is available at the layby by locality 1 at [NK 006 2831], and on the east side of Waterside Bridge for localities 2-8 (Fig. 1). Alternatively the area can be reached by a cliff top path from The Nature Reserve Centre at Collieston and could be visited in conjunction with Excursion 13. Localities 9- 10 can be reached from the beach car park at [NK 002 247] at the end of the turning off the A975 at the Ythan Hotel. There is a single coach parking space at the parking area at Waterside bridge, but the other parking areas are guarded by narrow entrances to prevent occupation by travellers with caravans.
