The WTGs, offshore substation, and inter-array cables would be located on the OCS approximately 32 kilometers (km) (20 miles (mi)) south of Martha’s Vineyard and approximately 38 km (24 mi) southwest of Nantucket, within the area defined by Renewable Energy Lease OCS–A 0534. The Project would be adjacent to the Vineyard Wind 1 (VW1) project (OCS–A 0501). The EIS evaluates the potential to utilize currently unused positions of the VW1 project that VW1 could assign to the Project. The offshore export cables would be buried below the seabed surface on the OCS and State of Massachusetts-owned submerged lands. The onshore export cables, substations, and grid connections would be located in Barnstable County, MA, with the possibility of a landing site in Bristol County, MA. BOEM considered 15 alternatives when preparing the draft EIS and carried forward three alternatives for further analysis in the final EIS. These three alternatives include the proposed action, one action alternative, and the no action alternative. After carefully considering public comments on the draft EIS and the alternatives described and analyzed in the final EIS, DOI selected a combination of the Habitat Minimization Alternative (Alternative C–1) and the Proposed Action (Alternative B). This combination would limit the installation of export cables to the Eastern Muskeget route or minimize installation of export cables to only one in the Western Muskeget route, as described in the Preferred Alternative in the final EIS. The anticipated mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements, which will be included in BOEM’s COP approval as terms and conditions, are included in the ROD, which is available on BOEM’s website at: https:// www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/new-england-wind-formerlyvineyard-wind-south. NMFS has adopted BOEM’s final EIS to support its decision of whether or not to promulgate the requested ITR and issue the associated LOA to Park City Wind. NMFS’ final decision of whether or not to promulgate the requested ITR and issue the LOA will be documented in a separate Decision Memorandum prepared in accordance with internal NMFS policy and procedures. The final ITR and a notice of issuance of the LOA, if issued, will be published in the Federal Register. The LOA would authorize Park City Wind to take a small number of marine mammals incidental to Project construction and would set VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:57 Apr 08, 2024 Jkt 262001 forth permissible methods of incidental taking; means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on the species and its habitat; and requirements for monitoring and reporting. Pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, NMFS issued a final Biological Opinion to BOEM on February 16, 2024, evaluating the effects of the proposed action on ESA-listed species. The proposed action in the opinion includes the associated permits, approvals, and authorizations that may be issued. USACE has decided to adopt BOEM’s final EIS and issue permits to Park City Wind pursuant to section 10 of the RHA and section 404 of the CWA. The USACE permits may authorize Park City Wind to discharge fill below the high tide line of waters of the United States. They may also authorize Park City Wind to perform work and place structures below the mean high water mark of navigable waters of the United States and to affix structures to the seabed on the OCS.
