Permitting process
1. Certificate of city planning documentation must include: a. Technical documentation b. Technical table containing coordinates and characteristics of the site, information regarding the land ownership, etc. c. Technical drawings containing the placement of the wind turbines, the vicinities, gas pipes, water pipes and every known characteristic of the site. d. Technical characteristics of the wind turbines, the approximate area of the foundation etc. 2. Releasing of the certificate of city planning The certificate of city planning provides information about: The juridical regime The economical regime The technical regime
Beside that the city council demands that for the release of the construction authorization there must be attached the following documents: The property title of the estate The project for authorization of construction work Approvals and other documents given by the solicitor: specific approvals of the central public administration and/or the decentralized services: Authorization from the Romanian civil aeronautics authority. Authorization from improvement. the national administration of land
Authorization from the national communication agency.
Authorization from the county for culture, cults and national cultural heritage.
o Other approvals like: The approval regarding the withdrawal of the terrain from the agricultural circuit Proof for landowners notification Permission of the affected landowners
o Specialty studies: Zoning plan
It is very important to know that: The city planning certificate does not hold place for the construction authorization and does not give the right to execute any construction work The city planning certificate has 24 months availability since the emission date Note: the county council can ask for more permits than the ones i described here according to the characteristics of the site. 3. After this phase the geotechnical study has to be prepared. 4. The next phase is the called generically P.U.Z. (zone city planning) phase, in which the documentation for all the permits has to be completed, deposed and then the permits have to be released in order to get to the documentation for the p.u.z. The documentation for the permits has to contain: Technical documentation having lot more detailed information than the documentation of city planning like: areas of platforms, length of the used exploitation roads, the present development stage, city planning development proposals. Annexes (copy if certificate of city planning, copy of geotechnical study, etc.) City planning regulation (general rules, specific rules, etc.) Technical drawings (existing situation plan, city planning regulations, etc.)
After the documentation is completed we have to apply for the permits. The permits will be released in a period of time according to the law, and it is very important to know that some of them have an expiration date, which is written in the released papers. For each permit there is a tax that should be paid before the release of the permit. 5. After completing this stage there has to be made the p.u.z. Documentation which must contain besides the documentation for the permits: Copies of all the obtained permits Proof for landowners notification The approval regarding the withdrawal of the terrain from the agricultural circuit Permission of the affected landowners.
6. The next stage is the detailed geotechnical study which has to be made in each turbine location in order to start the calculations for the foundations. 7. There has to be completed the construction authorization project and apply for the construction authorization permit. This project has to contain detailed information about the foundation like length, depth, the type of concrete used, the type of reinforcement used etc. 8. The technical project is the last phase and must include: a. THE WRITTEN PART: i. The contents which presents all the components of this part, separately the written part and the drawing part. ii. The technical documentation is a very important part of the documentation because here we have the existent situation, the proposed situation, a short presentation of the proposed situation, the importance category of the work, the technical class, data about topographic work, geotechnical study, construction quality, environmental issues. iii. Based on the geotechnical study, wind factor, earthquake factor, and the vibrations produced by the engine engineers can dimension the foundation and can calculate the resistance in the calculus breviary.
iv. There must also be a control program, in which is to be specified who attends the determinant phases of the work. v. The conditions of contract for each important phase are a fragment of the written part. vi. The written part can also contain an estimation of the costs. This part is done only if the beneficiary asks for it, after a discussion about the material and workers prices b. The drawings The drawing part contains the technical drawings. i. The first drawing has to be a situation plan in which you can see the area. The next ones refer to: ii. The existent situation. iii. The planned solution. iv. Foundation sections. v. Execution details.
