AB - This report supplements the Sunrise Wind Construction and Operations Plan.Sunrise Wind LLC (Sunrise Wind), a 50/50 joint venture between Orsted North America Inc. (Orsted NA) and Eversource Investment LLC (Eversource), proposes to construct, own, and operate the Sunrise Wind Farm (SRWF) Project (the Project). The Project consists of the SRWF and the Sunrise Wind Export Cable (SRWEC) (Figure 1.1-1). The SRWF will be located in federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the designated Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 04871, approximately 18.9 statute miles (mi) (16.4 nautical miles [nm], 30.4 kilometers [km]) south of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and approximately 30.5 mi (26.5 nm, 48.1 km) east of Montauk, New York (NY). The Lease Area contains portions of areas that were originally awarded through the BOEM competitive renewable energy lease auctions of the Wind Energy Areas (WEAs) off the shores of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, portions of which were subsequently assigned to Sunrise Wind. Components of the Project will be located in federal waters on the OCS, in state waters of New York, and onshore in the Town of Brookhaven, Long Island, NY. Discussion of the Project as it relates to Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is categorized into four general regions: the SRWF, inclusive of the WTGs, OCS–DC, and IAC; the SRWEC–OCS, inclusive of up to 100 mi (161 km) of the SRWEC in federal (OCS) waters; the SRWEC–NYS, inclusive of approximately 5.2 mi (8.4 km) of the SRWEC in New York State (NYS) waters and the Landfall Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD); and Onshore Facilities, inclusive of the Onshore Transmission Cable, which will also be installed via HDD under the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW HDD) and Carmans River.
