Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; final
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) announces the
availability of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) on the Atlantic
Shores Offshore Wind, LLC (Atlantic
Shores) construction and operations
plan (COP) for its proposed Atlantic
Shores Offshore Wind South Project
(Project) offshore New Jersey. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: Atlantic Shores
seeks approval to construct, operate,
and maintain two wind energy facilities
(Project 1 and Project 2) and their
associated export cables on the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore New
Jersey. The Project would be developed
within the range of design parameters
outlined in the Atlantic Shores COP,
subject to the applicable mitigation
measures.
The Project as proposed in the COP
would include up to 200 total wind
turbine generators (WTGs) (between 105
and 136 WTGs for Project 1 and
between 64 and 95 WTGs for Project 2),
up to 10 offshore substations (up to 5 in
each Project), 1 permanent
meteorological (met) tower, up to 4
temporary meteorological and
oceanographic (metocean) buoys (up to
1 met tower and 3 metocean buoys in
Project 1 and 1 metocean buoy in
Project 2), interarray and interlink
cables, up to 2 onshore substations, 2
points of interconnection, 1 operations
and maintenance facility, and up to 8
transmission cables making landfall at 2
New Jersey locations.
The Atlantic Shores South Project is
proposed to be located 8.7 miles (14
kilometers) 1 from the New Jersey
shoreline at its closest point within the
area covered by Renewable Energy
Lease Number OCS–A 0499 (Lease
Area).
Alternatives: BOEM considered 21
alternatives (including the No Action
Alternative) when preparing the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement and
carried forward six alternatives for
further analysis in the FEIS. These
alternatives include five action
alternatives and the No Action
Alternative. Fifteen alternatives were
not analyzed in detail because they did
not meet the purpose and need for the
Proposed Action or did not meet
screening criteria, which are presented
in the FEIS Chapter 2. The screening
criteria included consistency with law
and regulations, technical and economic
feasibility, environmental impacts, and
geographic considerations.
Availability of the FEIS: The FEIS, the
Atlantic Shores COP, and associated
information are available on BOEM’s
website at: https://www.boem.gov/
