According to the FFH impact assessment, the construction of the Strassberg flood retention basin (HRB) on the River Selke will have a significant negative impact on the conservation objectives of the FFH area "Selketal und Bergwiesen bei Stiege". In order to maintain the coherence of the Natura 2000 network, measures in accordance with Article 6(4) of the Habitats Directive must be taken to compensate for negative impacts on this protected area network. After an intensive site search based on the specific requirements for the future location of the measures, a straightened section of the Selke above Gatersleben was selected as the site for the measures.
