FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information on the Vineyard Wind COP
EIS, the submission of comments, or
BOEM’s policies associated with this
notice, please contact Michelle Morin,

Programs, 45600 Woodland Road,
Sterling, Virginia 20166, (703) 787–1340
or michelle.morin@boem.gov.
Proposed Action: The proposed action
is the construction and operation of a
wind energy facility as described in the
COP submitted by Vineyard Wind on
Lease Area OCS–A 0501. In its COP,
Vineyard Wind is proposing the
construction, operation, and eventual
decommissioning of an 800MW facility,
potentially constructed in two 400 MW
phases up to five years apart. Vineyard
Wind’s COP proposes installing up to
106 wind turbine generators, each with
a capacity of between 8 and 10 MW.
Foundations would likely be
monopoles, jackets, or a combination of
both. The proposed facility would also
include two to four offshore substations
or electrical service platforms. The
potential export cable landfalls
identified by Vineyard Wind include
sites near the towns of Yarmouth,
Barnstable, and Nantucket in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Onshore construction and staging would
take place at the New Bedford Marine
Commerce Terminal facility. At its
nearest point, the project area is
approximately 14 miles from the
southeast corner of Martha’s Vineyard
and a similar distance from the
southwest side of Nantucket. Water
depths where the turbines would be
located range from approximately 37 to
49 meters (approximately 121 to 161
feet).
Once BOEM completes the EIS and
associated consultations, BOEM will
decide whether to approve, approve
with modification, or disapprove the
Vineyard Wind COP. If BOEM approves
the COP and the proposed facility is
constructed, the lessee must submit a
plan to decommission the facilities prior
to the end of the lease term.
Scoping Process: This NOI
commences the public scoping process
for identifying issues and potential
alternatives for consideration in the
Vineyard Wind COP EIS. Throughout
the scoping process, Federal agencies,
state, tribal, and local governments, and
the general public have the opportunity
to help BOEM determine significant
resources and issues, impact-producing
factors, reasonable alternatives (e.g.,
size, geographic, seasonal, or other
