1 Legal Framework for Construction and EIA for Offshore Windfarms in Germany Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency Bundesamt für Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie Seminar on EIA, May 2013, Riga Anika Beiersdorf, BSH

2 Topics Introduction Offshore Activities in the North and Baltic Sea Maritime Spatial Planning Offshore Grid Plan Approval Process for Offshore Wind Turbines Standards for EIA Noise Mitigation Measures Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 2

3 Area of Responsibility: German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) North Sea : km² Baltic Sea : km² Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 3

4 Offshore Windfarm Applications North Sea Permits granted: 26 Permits applied for: 81 Baltic Sea Permits granted: 3 Permits applied for: 17 Projects in total: Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 4

5 North Sea: Offshore Activities 2012/ Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 5

6 Construction Freeze due to Missing Grid Connection trianel tennet tennet trianel Converter platform Borwin alpha waiting for topside (since October 2012). 40 foundations installed at Borkum West 2 (March 2012), turbines attached in summer Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 6

7 Maritime Spatial Planning Since 2009, Maritime Spatial Plan for the EEZ of the North and Baltic Sea: Priority areas for offshore wind energy (red) No windfarms in Natura 2000 areas Gates for submarine cables Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 7

8 Offshore Grid Plan (2012): North Sea Planning Horizon 2030: Approx. 21 GW Planning Horizon 2022: Approx. 11,7 GW Gate Cable I (Ems) 3 II (Norderney) 10 III (Europipe 2) 7 IV (Büsum) Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 8

9 Offshore Grid Plan (2013): Baltic Sea (draft) First Consultation 23. April 2013, Rostock Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 9

10 Legal Basis for Approval Procedures in the German EEZ Marine Facilities Ordinance (Seeanlagenverordnung): Art. 2: Installation and operation of offshore wind turbines require planning approval Reasons for denial of an approval: Threat to the marine environment/bird migration Threat to safety of shipping traffic Threat to national or allied defence Other requisitions Other overriding public interests: Mining activities Fishery Military interests Energy supply (cables or pipelines) Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 10

11 Application Documents Application containing the analysis of public and private interests Environmental Impact Assessment study Technical risk analysis about the probability of a ship/wind turbine-collision Design basis and preliminary draft of the installation structure (according to standard Design of OWT ) Prognosis on the hull-retaining configuration of the substructure of the foundations Standard for EIA (2007) Standard Ground Investigations for OWP (2003) Standard Design of Offshore Wind Turbines (2007) Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 11

12 Approval Process Approval procedure for offshore installations in the EEZ: Project application 1 st round of participation: Small circle of authorities 2 nd round of participation: Broader circle including several NGOs and associations Application Conference (Scoping) 3 rd round of participation: As 2 nd round with participation of neighbouring states EIA-Hearing Decision Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 12

13 Standard Contents of an Approval Time-limit for start of construction to avoid occupation of space Limitation of the operation to 25 years Use of environmentally friendly substances, non-reflecting coating Threshold on noise impact, requirement for noise mitigation measures (No 14) Ecological monitoring during construction and operation (No 11) Shut down of turbines in case of strong bird migration (No 21) Requirement for collision-friendly foundations Design requirements (plausibility check, 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd release ) Requirement for safety concept (HSE-Concept) Requirements regarding the safety equipment (including nautical lights and AIS) Duty to deconstruction and financial security for safeguarding the costs of deconstruction Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 13

14 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Assessment of the marine environment: Intensive investigations of the features of the project area before approval Monitoring program (several years) during construction and operation Threat to the marine environment? EIA Regulation EU Birds and Habitats Directive (Federal Nature Conservation Act) Species protection Biotope protection Site protection No Impact Regulation ( Eingriffsregelung ) for OWP Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 14

15 Standard Monitoring Program Standard for Investigation of the Impacts of Offshore Wind Turbines on the Marine Environment (StUK3) Sets requirements for the investigations before, during construction and during operation Compliance with the standard during construction and operation of the windfarm is obligatory for permit holders Defines monitoring concepts for: Benthos Fish Resting and migrating birds Marine mammals (incl. underwater noise) Bats Landscape Scenery Anika Christian Beiersdorf, Dahlke, Leiter BSHReferat Ordnung des Meeres 15

16 Under Discussion: Impact Pile Driving Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 16

17 Mitigation Measures for Marine Mammals Noise Mitigation Concept: Report on background noise in the construction area Emission forecast for construction period Use of acoustic deterrents Use of soft start method Use of noise mitigating work methods Monitoring of deterrence and mitigation measures Noise measurements and reporting at short notice (during construction period) Sound Exposure Level (SEL) must not exceed 160 db (re 1 µpa) outside of a circle of 750 m radius and the Peak Level (L peak ) must not exceed 190 db (threshold formulated by Federal Environmental Agency (UBA)) Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 17

18 Noise Mitigation Measures: Bubble Curtains Small Bubble Curtain at alpha ventus Big Bubble Curtain at Borkum West-II Small Bubble Curtain at BARD Offhore Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 18

19 Noise Mitigation Measures: Coffer Dam 2011: ESRa-test by Siemens in the Baltic Sea IHC NMS at Riffgat Christian Dahlke, Leiter Referat Ordnung des Meeres 19
