5 1 INTRODUCTION This report has been prepared by Marine Harvest to meet the requirements of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency ( SEPA) for the purpose of assessing an application to install equipment and consequent biomass, and for consent to use sufficient sealice treatments, via AutoDepomod and dispersion modelling. The report describes modelling results for a new site off the neighbouring island of Scalpay (Figure 1) to determine EQScompliant biomass and sea-lice treatment levels for the proposed equipment. Report number AMMR11v02 which is held centrally, and has been previously accredited, by SEPA, provides details of the generic modelling methods used.

6 2 MODEL INPUT DETAILS 2.1 HYDROGRAPHIC DATA The site data was collected by Marine Harvest for the purpose of assessing a consent application with the AutoDepomod software. Methods of the data collection and analysis followed current SEPA guidelines (SEPA, 2005); the data used were of 15 days duration and were analysed using both the appropriate SEPA hydrographic excel template for 20 minute data and the hg-analysis spreadsheet, also provided by SEPA. The Admiralty Hydrographic Office tide prediction software Total Tide was used to determine the start dates of spring and neap tides and to determine the times of high water and mean tidal height for the area (see Table 3). Following SEPA guidelines the start points in the current meter record used for modelling are those closest to midday on the day of the intermediate spring tides and the intermediate neap tides. In the current meter data used, after hourly averaging, the times of intermediate HW spring and HW neap corresponded to records 94 and 289 respectively. Prior to commencement of modelling the current data required correction to Grid North and was thus corrected by 4.029W. The hourly averaged current data for the surface, middle and bottom bins were then saved as space delimited files, as detailed in AMMR11v02 and following the default AutoDepomod file structure. Using the hg-analysis spreadsheet the mean speed and the residual current speed and direction were established for each of the three current meter depths. The mean and residual currents, and the histogram frequency peaks are summarised in Table 2 below. The data showed a predominant current in a north-westerly direction at near-surface and mid depths. Whereas slower data recorded near-bed showed a north-easterly direction. A slight correlation was found between the surface current speeds and the wind speeds (Figure 2); however a tidal pattern can still be seen. The mean wind speed over this period was 4.0m/s. 3

8 2.2 SITE DETAILS The proposed site is situated near the south-eastern shore of the Isle of Scalpay ( Figure 1). Marine Harvest proposes to install equipment and operate a maximum biomass of 2,500t at the new site and so the AutoDepomod and the Bath Treatment models have been run to determine EQS-compliant biomass and medicinal consents for this new equipment. Details of the site are provided in Table 3. The receiving water is defined as open water.

9 2.3 RUN DETAILS A new project was created in AutoDepomod and named Scalpay16 vf1. The site and cage details provided in Table 3 were entered into the appropriate files and all other data were set to default. The resulting site bathymetry and cage layout is shown in Figure 3. Modelling of both the biomass and chemotherapeutants was undertaken following the methods outlined in the Methods Report AMMR11v02 which is held centrally by SEPA. Details of the modelling results have been provided in the next section according to SEPA requirements. Figure 3 bathymetry and cage layout Two types of treatment are used to control sea lice infestation in marine salmon farms and these require different modelling approaches. The in-feed treatment Slice (active ingredient Emamectin Benzoate) requires deposition modelling using AutoDepomod to predict the chemical accumulation on the seabed beneath the fish cages associated with fish faeces and uneaten treated feed. The bath treatments Salmosan ( chemical name Azamethiphos), Excis chemical name Cypermethrin) and Alphamax ( Deltamethrin), where the salmon are immersed in a diluted solution of the treatment chemical require dispersion modelling to predict the concentration in the water column after release. Results from both AutoDepomod and the Bath model have been provided in the next section. 6
10 3 MODELLING RESULTS 3.1 BIOMASS RESULTS AutoDepomod was run initially with the company s preferred stocking density of kg/ m3, and proposed cage layout, using the model s auto-distribute biomass function. The model did not require to iterate to an EQS-complaint solution as a pass was achieved at this stocking density and pen volume for the resultant maximum allowable biomass of 2,500 tonnes. At this biomass the model predicts the 80% solids area to be 101,519m2 while the flux in this area is expected to be 1,516g/m2/year. The proposed layout and tonnage results in a benthic cage area of 40,726m2 with a minimum ITI of 1 within the area. The flux in the benthic cage group area is predicted to exceed the trigger value (10,000g/m2/year) at 14,438g/m2/year. The benthic sampling area (ITI = 30) is expected to be 148,354.4m2 while the flux inside this area will be 191.8g/m2/year. The plotted AutoDepomod output for the passing Int-Spring run 2 is shown in Figure 4. A summary with all of this information can be found in Scalpay16 vf1_marine_sum_v3.xls and in Table 7 of this report. Figure 4 Benthic impact for run 2, Int-Spring current data The mass of solids released in run 2 is estimated to be 1,020,815kg with 92% (937,154kg) predicted to remain within the 1km2 modelling grid, thus 8% ( 83,661kg) of the input load is predicted to be transported from the model grid as a result of resuspension. Current data recorded at the site results in a vector average residual of 0.040m/s at 323 G at the surface, 0.034m/s at 310 G at the middle, and 0.018m/s at 86 G. Figure 4 shows the dispersal of waste material in a northerly direction. 7
11 3.1.1 TRANSECT AND SAMPLING STATIONS Two transect profiles were created ( Figure 4) as part of SEPA s requirements to determine site-specific sampling locations. The selected and spare transect information have been saved to the Scalpay 16vF1- BcnstFI- S-2_000.xls file located in the mapping folder. Details of both transect starting points are provided in Table 4 below.

13 3.2 IN-FEED TREATMENTS SLICE The SLICE aspect of AutoDepomod was run initially for a Total Allowable Quantity sufficient to treat 5 times the proposed peak biomass (4,375g & 12,500 tonnes respectively). Marine Harvest have followed SEPA s guidance and used a feedload of T derived from the default feed figure automatically generated in the Biomass Section of AutoDepomod. The model did not require to iterate to an EQS-complaint solution as a pass was achieved at this quantity and biomass. The predicted area inside the g/kg contour ( 208,797m2) was smaller than the predicted far field AZE area ( 213,248m2). The mean concentration of Slice in the near field AZE exceeds the EQS trigger value of 7.63g/kg by 289.7g/kg and thus enhanced monitoring will be required at the site if Slice is used. The plotted AutoDepomod output for this run is shown in Figure 6. A further run for 223 days duration was performed to obtain a site residual curve for this biomass. Figure 6 EmBZ concentrations for run 1 (118 days) The mass of EmBZ remaining on the bed at the end of run 1 was 2,906g. For Slice, in the absence of resuspension, 74% or 3,237.5g of the input EmBZ load would remain on the seabed after 118 days. This indicates that a low percentage of the original input load is lost through resuspension ( 7.6%). The mass of EmBZ lost from the grid ( 331.5g) represents an equivalent area of 3.6km2 if it assumed to distribute evenly at the far field EQS concentration of 0.763g/kg sediment. 10
14 3.3 BATH MODEL RESULTS Cage details are given in section 2. The cage treatment depth used for the bath treatments was 2m. Using the results from the analysis of the surface current meter data in the short term bath treatment model EQS compliance for both Deltamethrin and Cypermethrin at this cage depth was predicted. EQS compliance for Azamethiphos was predicted at a cage depth of 2m. Cypermethrin & Deltamethrin Results: Cage Treatment Depth = 2m Permissible Quantity of Cypermethrin = 48.7g; 4.3 cages/3 hours Permissible Quantity of Deltamethrin = 18.3g; 4 cages/3 hours Azamethiphos Results: Cage treatment depth = 2m Permissible Quantity of Azamethiphos = 269.3g; 1.2 cages/3 hours Permissible Quantity of Azamethiphos = 687.7g; 3.0 cages/24 hours The permissible quantities means that full treatment of the 12 pens at the site, would take approximately 3 days to complete. The bath treatment model files are saved in the folder Scalpay 16vF1\Bath 11
15 4 RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS It is recommended that the biomass and treatment amounts are consented at this site as given below in.
