Abstract

This proposal for the Islay Tidal Energy Farm sets out the scope and method by which it is intended to carry out the environmental impact assessments (EIA). The Islay Tidal Energy Farm EIA is structured around the recommendations for EIA proposed within Scottish Marine Renewables Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Environmental Report March 2007 (2), and its Scoping Report 2006 both prepared for the Scottish Government by Faber Maunsell & Metoc plc.  The SEA is used as a key document in respect of developing the Islay EIA, and consequently the Islay Scoping Document both follows the guidance of the report in structuring topics and utilises extracts of text where appropriate. This guidance has also been supplemented by feedback from consultations, site surveys, and by reference to other potentially related guidance and EIA documents (e.g. for offshore wind farms or other marine experience).
