AU - Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)
AB - This Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) assesses the reasonably foreseeable impacts on physical, biological, socioeconomic, and cultural resources that could result from the construction and installation, operations and maintenance, and conceptual decommissioning of the Ocean Wind 1 Offshore Wind Farm (Project) proposed by Ocean Wind LLC (Ocean Wind), in its Construction and Operations Plan (COP). The proposed Project described in the COP and this Final EIS would be approximately 1,100 megawatts in scale and sited 15 miles (13 nautical miles) southeast of Atlantic City, New Jersey, within the area of Renewable Energy Lease Number OCS-A 0498 (Lease Area). The Project would serve demand for renewable energy in New Jersey. This Final EIS was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 United States Code 4321–4370f) and implementing regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality and the Department of the Interior. This Final EIS will inform the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s decision on whether to approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the Project’s COP.Ocean Wind 1 Offshore Wind Farm Final Environmental Impact Statement (includes FEIS in its entirety) Volume I Volumes II, III, and IV:  AppendicesAppendix A:  Required Environmental Permits and ConsultationsAppendix B:  List of Preparers and Reviewers, References Cited, and GlossaryAppendix C:  Additional Analysis for Alternatives DismissedAppendix D:  Analysis of Incomplete or Unavailable InformationAppendix E:  Project Design Envelope and Maximum-Case ScenarioAppendix F:  Planned Activities ScenarioAppendix G:  Assessment of Resources with Minor (or Lower) Adverse Impacts in the Draft Environmental Impact StatementAppendix H:  Mitigation and MonitoringAppendix I:  Supplemental InformationAppendix J:  Overview of Acoustic Modeling ReportAppendix K:  List of Agencies, Organizations, and Persons to Whom Copies of the Statement Are SentAppendix L:  Other ImpactsAppendix M:  Seascape, Landscape, and Visual Impact Assessment (Note:  Images in this file were processed to be compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, resulting in lower resolution visual simulations.
