Plant Field Survey Peat<br />
year Completed present Results<br />
1956 Yes. Access<br />
No Survey confirms no peat at turbine location or<br />
restricted in NW<br />
crane hardstanding. Small, shallow peat<br />
corner due to dense<br />
deposits present towards north and west in<br />
forestry.<br />
valley bottom surrounding the watercourse. See<br />
Figure 3.11 in Appendix 3 for exact location of<br />
identified peat.<br />
1972 Yes No BGS/NSRI map data and peat depth survey<br />
confirm no peat within 50m of turbine. See<br />
Figure 3.12 in Appendix 3.<br />
2007 Yes No BGS/NSRI map data and peat depth survey<br />
confirm no peat within 50m of turbine. BGS<br />
mapped peat deposit approximately 55m east of<br />
turbine does not extend into turbine micrositing<br />
zone. See Figure 3.13 in Appendix 3.<br />
1998 No - not accessible Desk study<br />
suggests<br />
no peat<br />
BGS/NSRI map data suggest no peat<br />
1998 Yes. Access restricted<br />
due to dense forestry.<br />
1997 No - not accessible Desk study<br />
suggests<br />
no peat<br />
Yes Limited access to survey area due to dense<br />
forestry. Measurements taken confirm presence<br />
of peat up to 1.27m to W of original turbine<br />
location. As a result, turbine has been relocated<br />
as far as possible E, but still located on the edge<br />
of shallow peat. See Figure 3.14 in Appendix 3 for<br />
detailed peat survey results.<br />
BGS/NSRI map data suggest no peat<br />
1970 Yes No BGS/NSRI map data and peat depth survey<br />
confirm no peat within 50m of turbine. Peat<br />
depths up to 0.7m recorded along southern<br />
edge of survey area, in flat and waterlogged<br />
collection area for nearby watercourse. See<br />
Figure 3.15 in Appendix 3.
