In 1987, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from site CA–RIV–333 in
Riverside, Riverside County, CA, by the

lot consisting of unmodified shells, one
lot consisting of organic material, and
one lot consisting of fire-altered rocks.

Offshore Wind Commercial Project
(Project), offshore Virginia Beach,
Virginia. The FEIS analyzes the
potential environmental impacts of the
Project as described in the COP (the
proposed action) and the alternatives to
the proposed action, including the no
action alternative. The FEIS will inform
BOEM’s decision whether to approve,
approve with modifications, or
disapprove the COP.
ADDRESSES: The FEIS and detailed
information about the Project, including
the COP, can be found on BOEM’s
website at: https://www.boem.gov/

Renewable Energy Programs, 45600

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: Dominion Energy
seeks approval to construct, operate,
and maintain the Project: a wind energy
facility and the associated export cables
on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
offshore Virginia. The Project would be
developed within the range of design
parameters outlined in the COP, subject
to applicable mitigation measures.
The Project as proposed in the COP
would include up to 202 wind turbine
generators (WTGs); up to three offshore,
high voltage, alternating current
substations; inter-array cables linking
the individual turbines to the offshore
substations; substation interconnector
cables linking the substations to each
other; offshore export cables; an onshore
export cable system; an onshore
switching station north of Harpers Road
(Harpers Switching Station) or north of
Princess Anne Road (Chicory Switching
Station) in Virginia Beach, Virginia; and
an overhead power line connection to
the existing electrical grid at the
Fentress Substation in Chesapeake,
Virginia.
The WTGs, offshore substations, interarray cables, and substation
interconnector cables would be located
on the OCS approximately 24 nautical
miles (27 statute miles) east of Virginia
Beach, Virginia, within the area defined
by Renewable Energy Lease OCS–A–
0483. The offshore export cables would
be buried below the seabed surface in
the OCS and Commonwealth of
Virginia-owned submerged lands. The
onshore export cables, substations, and
grid connections would be located in
Princess Anne County, Virginia.
Alternatives: BOEM considered a
reasonable range of alternatives when

preparing the draft environmental
impact statement (DEIS) and carried
forward the no action alternative and
four action alternatives for further
analysis in the DEIS and FEIS. Action
alternatives A, B, C, and D (includes onshore sub-alternatives D1 and D2) are
analyzed in the FEIS. Three alternatives
and four on-shore sub-alternatives were
eliminated from detailed analysis
because they did not meet the purpose
and need for the proposed action or did
not meet the screening criteria, which
are presented in appendix C of the FEIS.
The screening criteria included
consistency with law and regulations,
technical and economic feasibility,
environmental impact, and geographic
considerations.
Availability of the FEIS: The FEIS,
COP, and associated information are
available on BOEM’s website at: https://
www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/CVOW-C.
BOEM has distributed digital copies
of the FEIS to all parties listed in
appendix K of the FEIS. If you would
like a digital copy of the FEIS on a flash
drive or a paper copy, BOEM will
provide one upon request, as long as
copies are available. You may request a
flash drive or paper copy of the FEIS by
contacting Lisa Landers at (703) 787–
