ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES
-
Planting of an oak-hornbeam forest on an area of approx. 2,500 sqm north of the wind turbine.
-
Installation of two woody strips , one parallel to an existing strip of wood located south of the wind turbine, one further north of the system.
-
Spreading of an existing hedge north of the site.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
1. BIRD PROTECTION:
-
Deliberately unattractive design of the mast foot areas
-
Minimization of boundary structures
-
Temporary shutdown of the wind turbine after field work
-
Cultivation of suitable field crops
-
Creation of field edge flower strips (length at least 500 m, width at least 4 m, distance to the wind turbine at least 300 m)
2. BAT PROTECTION:
-
Determination of shutdown algorithms
-
Implementation of a nacelle monitoring
-
Creation of crossing aids (hedgerows) between forest massifs
-
Unattractive design of the wind turbine environment (double rotor radius around the wind turbines)
-
Planting of field edge flower strips (length min. 500 m, width min. 4 m, distance to the wind turbine min. 300 m)
-
Creation of roosting sites, e.g. by installing bat boxes
-
Checking potential clearing areas for bat roosts
-
Ecological construction monitoring
3. WILDCAT PROTECTION:
-
Creation of hedge strips with extensive meadow in the middle section
4. DORCE PROTECTION:
-
Check older trees in the proposed vicinity for dormouse occurrence prior to clearing
-
Planting of oak-hornbeam woodland
