Export cable work would occur within a forty two (42) NM long offshore export cable corridor extending from the lease area, through the Muskeget Channel and Nantucket Sound with cable landfall at Craigville Beach, Barnstable, Massachusetts. The export cables would also cross the Centerville River in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The work authorized under the USACE permit includes the construction and maintenance of a commercial-scale offshore wind facility within a 63,012 acre BOEM Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS–A 0534. The work includes: (1) the installation of up to sixty two (62) wind turbine generators (WTGs) and up to two (2) electrical service platforms (ESPs) with up to seventy four (74) acres associated scour protection for the structures, (2) the installation of approximately 133 NM of inter-array cables connecting the WTGs and inter-link cable connecting the ESPs to the WTGs with eleven (11) acres of associated scour protection for the cables, (3) the installation up to two (2) export transmission cables within a single forty two (42) NM offshore export cable corridor (OECC) with PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74263 approximately 2.5 acres of cable scour protection on the outer continental shelf (OCS) and 21.5 acres of subtidal fills associated with cable scour protection and sand wave relocation activities.
