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, operate, and maintain the Sunrise Wind New York Cable Project (the Project). Sunrise Wind executed a 25-year Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificate (OREC) contract related to the Sunrise Wind Farm (SRWF) and the Project with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in October 2019. The Project will deliver power from the SRWF, located in federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), to the existing electrical grid in New York (NYS) (Figure 1). The Project includes offshore and onshore components within NYS and will interconnect at the existing Holbrook Substation, which is owned and operated by the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA).  This benthic monitoring plan (BMP) has been developed in accordance with recommendations set forth in “Guidelines for Providing Benthic Habitat Survey Information for Renewable Energy Development on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf” (BOEM 2019). This benthic monitoring plan will be revised through an iterative process, and survey protocols and methodologies will be refined and updated based on feedback received from stakeholder groups.
