but these impacts will be temporary.
Furthermore, there are no feeding areas,
rookeries, or mating grounds known to
be biologically important to marine
mammals within the proposed project
area. There is also no designated critical
habitat for any ESA-listed marine
mammals. The mitigation measures are
expected to reduce the number and/or
severity of takes by (1) giving animals
the opportunity to move away from the
sound source before the pile driver
reaches full energy; (2) reducing the
intensity of exposure within a certain
distance by reducing the DP vessel
thruster power; and (3) preventing
animals from being exposed to
increased sound levels within 200 m of
vibratory pile driving.
Based on the analysis contained
herein of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
monitoring and mitigation measures,
NMFS finds that the total marine
mammal take from DWBIT’s BITS
project will have a negligible impact on
the affected marine mammal species or
stocks.
Small Numbers
The number of individual animals
that may be exposed to sound levels
above 120 dB is small relative to the
species or stock size (Table 6). The
authorized take numbers are the
maximum numbers of animals that are
expected to be harassed during the BITS
project; it is possible that some of these
exposures may occur to the same
individual. NMFS finds that small
numbers of marine mammals will be
taken relative to the populations of the
affected species or stocks.

Impact on Availability of Affected
Species for Taking for Subsistence Uses
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals implicated by this
action. Therefore, NMFS has
determined that the total taking of
affected species or stocks will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of such species or stocks for
taking for subsistence purposes.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
There are three marine mammal
species that are listed as endangered
under the ESA: Fin whale, humpback
whale, and North Atlantic right whale.
Under section 7 of the ESA, the USACE
(the federal permitting agency for the
actual BITS construction) consulted
with NMFS on the proposed BITS
project. NMFS also consulted internally
on the issuance of an IHA under section
101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA for this

activity. NMFS Northeast Region (now
known as the Greater Atlantic Region)
issued a Biological Opinion on January
30, 2014, concluding that the Block
Island Wind Farm project (which
includes the BITS) may adversely affect
but is not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of fin whale,
humpback whale, or North Atlantic
right whale. The effects of the IHA on
listed marine mammal species fall
within the scope of effects analyzed in
the Biological Opinion for the Block
Island Wind Farm project. Therefore, a
new consultation is not required for
issuance of this IHA. Following the
issuance of the IHA, an incidental take
statement (ITS), with associated
reasonable and prudent measures and
terms and conditions, will be issued to
exempt any take of listed marine
mammal species from the take
prohibition in section 9 of the ESA.
Under the terms of section 7(b)(4) and
section 7(o)(2) of the ESA, taking that
results from, but is not the purpose of
the agency action is not considered to be
prohibited under the ESA provided that
such taking is in compliance with the
terms and conditions of the authorized
Incidental Take Statement. The ITS will
be appended to the January 30, 2014
Biological Opinion.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as implemented by
the regulations published by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), and NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6, NMFS
prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) analyzing the potential impacts of
the issuance of an IHA for the proposed
activities. The final EA was prepared in
August 2014 and NMFS made a Finding
of No Significant Impact for this action.
These documents are available on our
Web site at https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
pr/permits/incidental.htm#applications.
Accordingly, an Environmental Impact
Statement is not required and none was
prepared.
