Yesterday, the first step with the delivery of documents at the Harbour. Initiated the process to obtain the grant of public lands and a strip of land, a few steps from the beach kiosk at Is Arenas, where sbucherà the submarine cable. The project for a wind farm twenty miles from the coast is ready. The idea was born some time ago just as, in Consiglio comunale di Cuglieri, si decideva di contrastare l'altro progetto: «Se il problema sono le pale visibili dalla costa, basta sistemarle a debita distanza» aveva pensato Giuseppe Idda, ingegnere e consigliere comunale di Cuglieri impegnato nella lotta al parco eolico che ha sollevato tante perplessità. E che ha visto una sollevazione popolare, il progetto proposto dalla società Janna (formato dal gruppo Bentu 'e soi e dagli altri soci Giovanni Luigi Pala, Marco Murru e Giuseppe Idda) non dovrebbe produrre impatto ambientale. Quanto meno stando alle parole dei progettisti, convinti che a quella distanza le pale eoliche potrebbero sembrare formiche. Le pale saranno 72, sistemate una accanto all'altra al largo della spiaggia di Is Arenas, Torre del Pozzo, Marrargiu Cape, Cape Nieddu Pallosu and the island of Maldiventre. "The area is center of gravity and a half miles from the coast is close enough to be barely visible," explains the engineer Idda. "They could have an environmental impact to zero. The blades, placed beyond the island of Maldiventre near the limit of international waters, nor would be seen. "
Yesterday, then, was the first step of the investigation with the delivery of the request for concessions to the Harbour. "Got the green light on the areas, the next step will be the environmental impact assessment" has Idda ruthless Joseph, 'and then get, hopefully, the final award. For all these steps you will need at least a year. "
It is, according to the company, an innovative project. "It would be the first ever, will have no environmental impact will arise as distant and outside the bank poseidonia. The novelty is then the structure: the wind turbine is based on a semi-submersible platform anchored to the ballast by tie rods. The arrangement will not alter in any way the environment: the end of the concession will have nothing on the bottom. "

How Do I Get Rid Of The Burn From Afrin

IS ARENAS: ocean wind farm, error in the notice. "The process will go on" a new wind farm

Article by Nicola Pinna L'Unione Sarda, 11 December 2009.

Initially it was feared of having to restart the whole procedure again, but the Ministry of Infrastructure said that the bureaucratic process for the design of the wind farm at Is Arenas can go on without any problems. To rectify the error in the first publication of the notice, the Port will have to do a new publication in the Official Bulletin and the procedure can continue. A lot of errata that will be used to catch and prevent any action whatever that may be blocking the whole process started over a month now.
The little mess about the coordinates indicating the stretch of sea involved the installation of the largest wind farm in the Bay of Is Arenas. A trivial oversight in the demarcation of Iare for which the company has requested a state concession for sixty years. A minor error, according to the Ministry of Infrastructure, which is why there is no need to stop the proceedings. "No problem, no unexpected - said the commander of the Harbour, Alberto Ugga - The fault is ours, but it was a mistake that affects the work done so far. We will make a new publication to correct the inaccuracy and everything goes on normally. "
Representatives Committee antiparco, who hoped that the error was sufficient to blow up the whole procedure must still fight. "We have sent to the Ministry most of the comments that have been recapitate dagli enti interessati - sottolinea Alberto Ugga - Ora resta solo da completare l'analisi della documentazione e poi potremo convocare la conferenza di servizi. Successivamente inizieranno le valutazioni sugli impatti ambientali e paesaggistici, ma questa è una competenza che spetta alle commissioni ministeriali».
Per i primi giorni di gennaio sarà fissata la conferenza di servizi che dovrà dare un parere irrinunciabile sul progetto della Iare di Bosa che ha proposto l'installazione di ottanta pale a due passi dalla spiaggia di S'Archittu. All'incontro, il comandante della Capitaneria di porto Alberto Ugga, chiamerà i rappresentanti della Regione, della Provincia e dei Comuni di Cuglieri, Narbolia e San Vero Milis. Il parere finale è quasi scontato: nessuno vuole quei tralicci.

Dogs Tongue Is Too Big

the coast, 30 MILES FROM LIDO DI

Articolo di Nicola Pinna su L'Unione Sarda, 9 dicembre 2009

Il progetto illustrato in Provincia. Secondo gli ideatori avrebbe un impatto ambientale pari a zero. Il presidente Pasquale Onida: nessuna difficoltà se i tralicci non si vedono dalla costa.

A trenta miglia dalla costa le pale eoliche potrebbero sembrare formiche. Anche se sono centoventi, sistemate una accanto all'altra al largo della spiaggia di Is Arenas, potrebbero avere un impatto ambientale pari a zero. Neppure si vedrebbero, sostengono i progettisti di un nuovo parco che potrebbe essere realizzato oltre l'isola di Maldiventre. Quasi al limite delle acque internazionali.
THE PROJECT The offices of the Port have not yet received any request for a state concession. However, the project is ready. The details have been discussed a few days ago the technicians of the provincial administration and even the mayors of the area have already been informed. One of the designers is the engineer Idda Joseph, who is also director of the City of minority Cuglieri. The name of the company but is not yet known and so far not come out of even the names of employers who are willing to fund the great work.
THE PARK In the mirror of water identified to achieve the Grand Central should be installed over a hundred towers. Senior Center more or less yards, but almost invisible from the beach. To put on the plants, the company that designed the park, has planned an intervention with low environmental impact without even digging in deep and cast concrete on the seabed. The paddles should be afloat and to keep them in balance is expected to leverage the strength of ocean currents. Each tower will be anchored to concrete weights that keep all systems afloat without having to destroy the sea. Preserving, first of all, the seagrass meadows. The trusses were then attached to a sort of concrete still able to keep up the great fans without having to make any excavation.
COMMENTS The provincial Environment Department expects to know even more details of the project, same as the municipal administration of Narberth. Representatives of the company (composed of a group of entrepreneurs of the peninsula and Sardinia) have already presented to the mayor, Fabrizio Fais, and the President of the Province, Pasquale Onida. "I think that the first constraint is to ask what the environmental impact - says Pasquale Onida - If it is true that the pylons will be almost invisible from the coast, I think there will be no major difficulties. Surely we should explore thoroughly and carefully study this proposal all the benefits and the risks. "
same opinion that the first citizen of Narbolia: «Noi dobbiamo far rispettare a tutti i costi la condizione che il parco eolico non provochi nessun danno all'ambiente e non danneggi il paesaggio. Se il progetto sarà realizzato così come ci è stato presentato, a una distanza di trenta miglia credo non ci saranno grosse opposizioni». Più cauto il sindaco di San Vero Milis. «Già da qualche tempo si parlava di un progetto alternativo, che sfrutterebbe sistemi tecnologicamente più avanzati e che si dovrebbe realizzare al largo della costa, ma per il momento non abbiamo sul tavolo una proposta concreta - dice Antonello Chessa - Adesso abbiamo da portare avanti la mobilitazione contro il progetto del parco eolico nella baia di Is Arenas: fino a quando non sarà vinta questa battle we can not think of other projects. After discussing alternative projects, we are ready to assess whether an intervention of this type is compatible with the area's interests and the need to protect the environmental heritage. One thing is certain: we do not want destructive actions of our environment. We discuss any work, but only if it provides a total respect for nature, for our aspirations for tourism and economic activities in the area, fishing, first of all. "
