Rv 82 Miljøgate Andenes
REGULERINGSPLAN FOR RV 82 MILJØGATE ANDENES Merknadsbehandling/Dokumenter til sluttbehandling Statens Vegvesen Region Nord, Midtre Hålogaland distrikt Harstad 16.11.2009 SAMMENDRAG Statens Vegvesen har med hjemmel i Plan og bygningslovens § 9-4 utarbeidet forslag til reguleringsplan for Rv 82, Miljøgate Andenes. Strekningen er deler av Storgata fra flyplasskrysset og til krysset ved Nordlandsbanken. Planarbeidet er gjort etter avtale med og i samråd med Andøy kommune. Hensikten med planarbeidet er å legge til rette for oppstramming av trafikale forhold langs Storgata på denne strekningen, samt bedring av forholdene for de myke trafikkantene med utvidelse og oppgradering av fortau og sikring av fotgjengeroverganger. Lokalisering av busstopp og parkeringslommer inngår også. Total lengde er ca 1 km. Prosjektet inngår som en del av trafikksikkerhetsarbeidet i Andenes sentrum. Arbeidet forutsettes gjort samtidig som kommunen foretar utskifting av sitt vann og avløpsnett som ligger i Storgata. Byggestart er avhengig av fylkeskommunale bevilgninger. Det er tidligere utarbeidet et planhefte som tar for seg saksbehandlingen fram til planen er utlagt til offentlig ettersyn, jf innholdsfortegnelsen 1-2. Etter at planen har vært utlagt til offentlig ettersyn i tiden 26.06 – 15.08.09 er det totalt innkommet 7 merknader til planforslaget med bestemmelser. Statens vegvesen har gjennomgått og kommentert disse. Etter avtale med kommunen ble det arrangert et informasjonsmøte om planen den 1.oktober 2009. Det foreligger i alt 7 innspill etter dette møtet. I tillegg har det vært drøftet med kommunen ulike detaljløsninger i planen. Planen er revidert 01.11.09 og gjennomgått med kommunen i møte 10.11.09. Det er ikke fremmet innsigelse til planen og dette medfører etter Statens vegvesen sitt syn at planen kan egengodkjennes av kommunestyret.

Tombre Jesper Madsen Johnny Bakken Ole-Petter Bergland Jan Bolding Kristensen Bjørn Røsshag NINAs publikasjoner NINA Rapport Dette er en ny, elektronisk serie fra 2005 som erstatter de tidligere seriene NINA Fagrapport, NINA Oppdragsmelding og NINA Project Report. Normalt er dette NINAs rapportering til opp- dragsgiver etter gjennomført forsknings-, overvåkings- eller utredningsarbeid. I tillegg vil serien favne mye av instituttets øvrige rapportering, for eksempel fra seminarer og konferanser, resul- tater av eget forsknings- og utredningsarbeid og litteraturstudier. NINA Rapport kan også utgis på annet språk når det er hensiktsmessig. NINA Temahefte Som navnet angir behandler temaheftene spesielle emner. Heftene utarbeides etter behov og serien favner svært vidt; fra systematiske bestemmelsesnøkler til informasjon om viktige prob- lemstillinger i samfunnet. NINA Temahefte gis vanligvis en populærvitenskapelig form med mer vekt på illustrasjoner enn NINA Rapport. NINA Fakta Faktaarkene har som mål å gjøre NINAs forskningsresultater raskt og enkelt tilgjengelig for et større publikum. De sendes til presse, ideelle organisasjoner, naturforvaltningen på ulike nivå, politikere og andre spesielt interesserte. Faktaarkene gir en kort framstilling av noen av våre viktigste forskningstema. Annen publisering I tillegg til rapporteringen i NINAs egne serier publiserer instituttets ansatte en stor del av sine vitenskapelige resultater i internasjonale journaler og populærfaglige bøker og tidsskrifter.

Ramsafeltet På Andøya
Andfjorden Ramsa i 1953 Ramsafeltet på Andøya Bergverksaktivitet gjennom tidene 2005 Bergverksaktiviteten på Ramså på Andøya gjennom tidene Forord Det var trolig Isak Ramså sitt funn av kullbiter i fjæra, litt nord for utløpet av Gårdselva på Ramså, som satte det hele i gang. Det skjedde i 1867. Siden har tanken om et ”industrielt eventyr” våknet og dødd hen mange ganger gjennom de påfølgende hundre år. Det var tidligere en alminnelig mening at alle lagrekker yngre enn den devoniske tidsalder manglet i vårt land, idet man i Norge ikke hadde funnet noen lagrekke som kunne henføres til det lange tidsrommet mellom den devoniske tidsalder og istiden. Påvisningen av en yngre lagrekke tilhørende juratiden på Andøya var derfor både overraskende og interessant, og med større interesse knyttet til funnet ved at formasjonen viste seg å være kullførende. Det er ikke brakt sikkert på det rene hvem som først har funnet kull på Andøya. Et par ganger har Ole Brekkan anmodet Stortinget om belønning som finner av kullene, og kanskje er det han som først har funnet dem i løse stykker. Denne rapporten er ment å gi oversikt over de ”industrielle” aktivitetene tilknyttet Ramsåfeltet. Desember 2005. Idar Nilssen. Sammendrag – oversikt over aktivitet Det er gjort en lang rekke undersøkelser med sikte på kommersiell ressursutnytting gjennom årene, her i kronologisk framstilling. Rene geologiske undersøkelser, med unntak av øglefunn, er ikke tatt med: Side 1867 – funn av kull i fast fjell på Ramså. 3 1868 – bergmester Tellef Dahll befarer området. 3 1869 – første prøveboring. 4 1871 og 1872 – prøveboringer. 6 1874 – regjeringsvedtak om privatisering.
