Milestone Extension: Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) Incidental Take Authorization (DOC – NOAA/NMFS)
On Feb 8, 2023, NOAA filed the proposed rule for the Sunrise Wind Offshore Wind Project in the Federal Register for public comment. The Dashboard has been updated to mark this milestone "complete".
Milestone Extension: Section 106 Review
In addition to interagency delays in developing project alternatives in June 2022, the project sponsor presented new project information in February 2023, to BOEM, NOAA, and USACE. The change in design for feasible wind turbine generator (WTG) locations involved removing 22 WTGs for the project due to glauconite sands present within the Lease Area. This change required additional analysis by BOEM for a new constructible preferred alternative that needed to be added to FEIS.
Milestone Extension: Construction and Operations Plan
In addition to interagency delays in developing project alternatives in June 2022, the project sponsor presented new project information in February 2023, to BOEM, NOAA, and USACE. The change in design for feasible wind turbine generator (WTG) locations involved removing 22 WTGs for the project due to glauconite sands present within the Lease Area. This change required additional analysis by BOEM for a new constructible preferred alternative that needed to be added to FEIS.
Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
In addition to interagency delays in developing project alternatives in June 2022, the project sponsor presented new project information in February 2023, to BOEM, NOAA, and USACE. The change in design for feasible wind turbine generator (WTG) locations involved removing 22 WTGs for the project due to glauconite sands present within the Lease Area. This change required additional analysis by BOEM for a new constructible preferred alternative that needed to be added to FEIS. The project design changed the impacts analysis for consultations.
Milestone Extension: Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Permit
Applicant delays caused delay in EPA’s application completeness determination, which shifted final decision milestone date forward according to the one-year statutory deadline under CAA § 165.
Milestone Extension: Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) Incidental Take Authorization (DOC – NOAA/NMFS)
The date for publication of the final ITA regulations was revised due to the revised EIS schedule. The final ITA regulations cannot be published until the ROD is published, so had to be revised to be after the new ROD publication date. In addition the final MMPA milestone was revised due to the required 30-day period after the final ITA regulations are published.
Milestone Extension: Section 106 Review
The project sponsor presented new project information last fall on October 13, 2022, to BOEM, NOAA,
and USACE. The change in design for feasible wind turbine generator (WTG) locations involved removing 21 WTGs for the project. This change required additional analysis by BOEM for a new constructible preferred alternative that needed to be added to FEIS. The project design changed the impacts analysis for consultations. This action is dependent upon the ROD.
