The Regional State Administrative Agency of Northern Finland has granted Fennovoima two water related permits.
 
Fennovoima in a release confirmed that the first permit concerns the construction of the harbor area and cooling water intake structures of the nuclear power plant and dredging of the navigation channel.
 
According to Fennovoima, the second permit concerns the marine spoil area for dredging masses. 
 
The Regional State Administrative Agency issued a decision also on the water permit application concerning the construction of the nuclear power plant's cooling water outlet structures and the associated protective embankments.
 
In the decision the Agency states that the cooling water outlet structures will not be handled as a separate water permit issue but as part of the environmental permit procedure of the nuclear power plant.
 
Fennovoima will submit a supplement to the pending environmental permit application of the nuclear power plant with regard to the cooling water outlet structures, said the release.
 
The permit decisions contain obligations, for example, about carrying out hydraulic construction works, fishery subsidies, compensations to fishermen and the owners of the sea areas as well as monitoring during hydraulic construction works. 
 
During the hydraulic construction works the water flow and turbidity will be monitored with a continuous monitoring system.
 
The permits granted by the Regional State Administrative Agency allow for the start of the hydraulic construction works as planned with the commencement permits, the release added.
