Vantage Point MethodologyThe Vantage Point (VP) surveys followed the guidance published by Scottish Natural Heritage(SNH, 2005) This is currently the most up to date and robust approach available forapplication to collision risk assessments for onshore wind farms, The methodology has beenused in other ornithological wind farm assessments throughout the United Kingdom and isconsidered to be applicable to the assessment of wind farm proposals throughout the UK.

Choice of Survey Area and VP Locations

The chosen Survey Area covered all land up to approximately 500 m from the outermostturbines of the proposed and existing turbines, The survey boundary was designed toresemble a simple geometric shape that coincided with ground features obvious to thesurveyor in the field, including the positions of existing wind turbines, dry stone walls,woodland edges, watercourses, fences, buildings and access tracks visible from the VP,. Thisincreases the accuracy of flight line observations.

Adequate coverage of the Survey Area was achieved from a single VP located on the easternflank of Great Hameldon, looking WNW in an arc of 180°, The VP, viewshed and SurveyArea are shown in figure A9,4-1,The viewshed represents all parts of the survey area within2 km of the VP that are visible upwards of the minimum rotor swept height (RSH) of theexisting turbines (20 m).

Recording Effort

VP watches of maximum 3 hours duration were carried out at different times of the daybetween dawn and dusk, concentrating on post -dawn and dusk periods when peregrineactivity was generally at its greatest. Barring extreme high winds, driving precipitation andconditions of poor visibility such as fog, in which birds were impossible to record, the surveyswere carried out in all conditions.

A total of 36 hours of VP survey was carried out over the entire site in July and August 2009The survey dates and times are summarised in Table A9.4-1..

The VP watches involved continuously scanning the area covered by the chosen viewingangle/arc using the naked eye, binoculars and a telescope

When the target species was not active during VP watches, non -target species were recordedat 5 minute intervals in line with SNH guidance (SNH, 2005). This information was used tosupplement the results of the breeding bird surveys, particularly for areas to the west ofThorny Bank Wood.

Focal animal sampling

The Survey Area was scanned constantly until a target species was detected in flight. Oncedetected, the target bird was watched continuously until it ceased flying or was lost from view.The time the bird was first detected and duration of the flight were recorded Since it wouldbe impossible for a surveyor to make a constant record of changes in bird height and keeptrack of the bird's position, the method allows for bird height to be recorded at time intervals of15 -seconds (at the point of detection T=0, then T=15, T=30 and so on). The birds flyingheight was estimated at each interval by recording it in one of the predetermined height bandsshown below.. These were chosen to correspond to the indicative dimensions of the proposedturbines and the known dimensions of the existing turbines. They fit neither turbine modelexactly because the indicative turbine dimensions and models under consideration were notdecided until after the VP surveys were completed The height bands were:

<20m

20 - 50m

50 - 100m

>100m

The middle height bands (i e 20-100m) are roughly equal to the RSH, which is the heightrange at which a bird would be at risk of collision.. The number of intervals recorded at eachheight gives a prediction of the amount of time spent at these heights.. This has beenadjusted to account for the differences in RSH between different turbine models (seeAppendix 9.5)..

Additional notes about the behaviour, sex and age of the target birds were made wheneverpossible.. Flights outside the survey area were recorded to aid the assessment of core flightareas, but these were not timed..

Flight Path Summary MapsThe route followed by each target species detected was plotted on a field map and wasnumbered 1, 2, 3 etc for each flight recorded, and cross referenced with the recording form.Display flights, aggressive interactions with other birds or any other signs of breeding wererecorded on the VP form to supplement the bird territory information gathered during thebreeding bird surveys.

Calculating the Collision Risk Model (CRM)Principles and Assumptions of the CRM

The aim of the CRM is to estimate the rate of collision for the target species, with theassumption that all collisions would be fatal, In reality, birds do not fly blindly into turbinerotors, instead taking some form of avoiding action through behavioural adjustments orevasive action., This is acknowledged through the application of an avoidance factor to themodel output which, in the absence of empirically derived avoidance rates for most species, isusually an assumed value

The collision rate is calculated automatically using the model developed by Band et al (in

press), as shown in the attached model screenshots The flight time interval data recorded inthe field are used to estimate the proportion of the overall recorded flight time that wouldoccur at Rotor Swept Height (RSH) The model scales this up to derive the predicted birdactivity per unit area per year and from this the number of passes made through the rotors peryear by the target species can be estimated.. The collision rate is then predicted according tothe general principles behind the model, as explained below

Collision mortality is a product of two separate stages of the CRM:

No.. collisions = No.. of passes through rotors (Stage 1) x

Probability of a bird flying through the rotor being hit (Stage 2)

The approach to Stage 1 varies depending on whether or not the target species is a bird orbirds whose use of the wind farm airspace is regular but more or less random (such asraptors and waders with territories within or overlapping the wind farm) or birds that makeregular flights through the wind farm, for instance on passage routes (e ,g over -winteringgeese making regular flights between roost and feeding areas). Peregrine falls within theformer category

Stage 2 is carried out using a 'probability of collision' model as described in SNH guidance(2000) and Band et a/ (in press) This uses the length, wingspan and flight speed of the bird,plus turbine rotor dimensions and rotation speed to compute the probability of a collisionshould a bird make a transit through the air space swept out by the moving rotor.

There are a number of assumptions made in the CRM. For instance the model calculationassumes that the rotor blades have width and pitch but no thickness, and near -misses do notaffect a bird making a pass close to the rotors, despite the slipstream created around aturbine blade.. The model requires an estimation of the amount of time a species is active inthe survey area in a year and also utilises avian biometric data that can be site and season -specific. For example flight speed of the target species is used in both stages of thecalculation, but this may vary depending on whether a species uses the area primarily forbreeding (and hence display flights) or for hunting (involving prey -pursuit), as well as factorssuch as prevailing weather conditions. These two behaviours would be likely to result indifferent flight speeds at different sites, which could deviate significantly from mean air speedvelocities recorded elsewhere.

A key assumption of the model is that no action is taken to avoid collision, however it is widelyacknowledged (for instance by SNH, 2000) that, in reality, birds are likely to take avoidingaction.. In the general absence of empirically derived collision avoidance rates for individualspecies, further assumptions are made about the likely level of active avoidance that mayoccur. Avoidance rates in excess of 99% for several raptors have been reported on otherwind farms (Percival, 2000), however collision rates are likely to be highly site and species -specific, and collision rates at on -shore wind farms are poorly understood. The CRM used inthis assessment assumed a cautious avoidance rate of 95%, following Band et al. (in press)and in line with avoidance rates currently accepted by SNH for most species(http://www.snh.orq.uk/strateqvirenewable/sr-we00a2.asP)

Model Input Data

PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor

Page 16: Appendix 7.4 Vantage Point Survey Methodology · Vantage Point Methodology The Vantage Point (VP) surveys followed the guidance published by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH, 2005)

The input parameters of the model include variables relating to the turbine dimensions,operational parameters and biometric/ecological characteristics of the target species Actualvalues are used whenever possible, as supplied by the turbine manufacturer or derived fromwind industry publications and peer -reviewed scientific papers. Where such information is notavailable, assumed values have been used.

The watch area was determined from measurement in a Geographic Information System(GIS) of the parts of the viewshed upwards of 20 m above ground level All other inputparameters are summarised in Table A9.5-1.

All flight lines recorded during VP watches were digitised using a GIS to aid the identificationof core flight areas and analysis of flight distribution. The theoretical collision mortality foreach target species was calculated by entering the VP flight data into the Band model Onlyflight activity recorded at the RSH was used in the model as flights at all other heights wouldnot put the target species at risk of collision. This was determined retrospectively from thetime interval data.

To accommodate the differences in specification and size between the existing and proposedturbines, the CRM was run twice using different input parameters for turbine size andoperational characteristics The model runs are included in Appendix 9.5, which also outlinesthe input parameters, assumed values and any references from which certain inputparameters were obtained.

Impact significance criteriaImpactSignificance Criteria

Very Large

Within cultural heritage it is highly unlikely this category will be assigned to abeneficial effect Cultural heritage features assigned this level of impactsignificance will represent key factors in the decision making processAdverse - Assets of international or national importance which are partiallydamaged, or assets of national or regional value which are almost whollydamaged or destroyed, leading to an almost complete loss of integrity orinformation Mitigation measures will have had minimal effect in reducing thesignificance of impactBeneficial - These effects will virtually restore an asset or its setting and re-establish its significance. Previous negative impacts will be reversed. Effectswill significantly contribute to international, national, regional and local policiesfor the enhancement and promotion of heritage.

Large

These effects are considered to be very important in the decision makingprocess.. These effects are important at a national level and to statutorybodies..Adverse - these effects will damage cultural heritage assets, their setting orcontext, so that their integrity or understanding is destroyed or is severelycompromised, such that the resource can no longer be appreciated orunderstood. Effects will seriously conflict with national, regional and localpolicies. Mitigation measures may not deal appropriately with all aspects ofthe impact.Beneficial - these effects will halt rapid degradation or erosion of assets ofnational or regional importance, or result in significant restoration of settingand reestablishment of significance to heritage assets.. Effects will significantlycontribute to national, regional and local policies for the enhancement andpromotion of heritage.

Moderate

These effects are likely to be important to considerations, but not key factors,in the decision making process, unless cumulative effects combine to raisethe overall significance These impacts are likely to be important at a regionallevel and to statutory bodiesAdverse - these effects will damage cultural heritage assets, or their setting,so that their integrity or understanding is compromised but not destroyed.Effects will be at odds with local and regional policies for heritage. Adequatemitigation measures can be specified..Beneficial - these effects are likely to result in the halting of degradation orerosion of heritage assets or result in the restoration of characteristic featuresor setting so that understanding and appreciation is improved. Effects willpositively contribute to local and regional heritage policies.

Slight

These effects are unlikely to be critical factors in the decision making process,but are likely to be important factors in the design of a project. These effectsare important at a local level.. There may be some contribution to, or variancewith local heritage policies.Adverse - the proposals will damage cultural heritage assets, or their setting,so that their integrity or understanding is diminished but not compromised.Adequate mitigation measures can be specified.Beneficial - the proposals will stabilise cultural heritage assets or enhancetheir setting, so that their integrity is maintained or understanding is improved.

NeutralNo effects upon cultural heritage or the effects are negligible. There is noconflict with, or contribution to, policies for protection of heritage resources.
