AB - This Draft 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 Sunrise Wind Farm (Project) proposed by Sunrise Wind, LLC (Sunrise Wind), in its Construction and Operations Plan (COP). The proposed Project described in the COP and this Draft EIS would be up to approximately 1,034 megawatts in scale and sited 18.5 statute miles (mi) (16.1 nautical miles [nm], 29.8 kilometers [km]) south of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and approximately 30 mi (26.1 nm, 48.2 km) east of Montauk, New York (NY), within the area of Renewable Energy Lease Number OCS-A 0487 (Lease Area). The Project would serve demand for renewable energy in New York. This Draft 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 Draft EIS will inform the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s decision on whether to approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the Project’s COP. Publication of the Draft EIS initiates a 60-day public comment period, after which all the comments received will be assessed and considered by BOEM in preparation of a Final EIS.Additional copies of this draft environmental impact statement may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Attn: Paige Foley (address above); by telephone at (703)-787-1584; or by downloading from the BOEM website at Sunrise Wind Activities | Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (boem.gov).Volume I: Chapters 1-4Volume II: Appendices A-PAppendix A:  Required Environmental Permits and ConsultationsAppendix B:  Supplemental Information and Additional Figures and TablesAppendix C:  Project Design Envelope and Maximum-Case ScenarioAppendix D:  Geographical Analysis AreasAppendix E:  Project Design Envelope and Maximum-Case ScenarioAppendix F:  Analysis of Incomplete and Unavailable InformationAppendix G:  Impact-Producing Factor TablesAppendix H:  Mitigation and MonitoringAppendix I:  Seascape, Landscape, and Visual Impact Assessment (SLVIA)Attachment I-1 Scenic Resources Overview MapAttachment I-2 Identified Existing Scenic and Visually Sensitive Resources within the Visual Study AreaAttachment I-3A Key Observation Points Visual Simulations of Proposed Action - Project Design Envelope (PDE)Attachment I-3B Key Observation Points Visual Simulations of Proposed Action - Project Design Envelope (PDE) Horizontal Occupation AssessmentAttachment I-3C Key Observation Points Visual Simulations of Proposed Action - Project Design Envelope (PDE) Panorama Visual SimulationsAttachment I-4 Key Observation Points Information and Assessments Attachment I-5A Selected Key Observation Points Cumulative Assessment Visual SimulationsAttachment I-5B Selected Key Observation Points Cumulative Assessment Visual SimulationsAttachment I-5C Selected Key Observation Points Cumulative Assessment Visual SimulationsAttachment I-5D Selected Key Observation Points Cumulative Assessment Visual SimulationsAppendix J:  Finding of Adverse Effect for Historic Properties and Draft Memorandum of AgreementAppendix K:  References CitedAppendix L:  GlossaryAppendix M: List of Preparers and ReviewersAppendix N:  Distribution ListAppendix O:  Public Comments and Responses on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (not included in this submittal)Appendix P:  USACE 404(b)(1) Analysis
