| 2012-2494 | Commercial Wind Lease Issuance and Site Assessment Activities on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Offshore New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia | Notice | BOEM has prepared an EA considering the environmental impacts of issuing renewable energy leases and authorizing site characterization activities (geophysical, geotechnical, archaeological, and biological surveys needed to develop specific project proposals on those leases) in identified Wind Energy Areas (WEAs) on the OCS offshore New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. This final EA also considers the reasonably foreseeable environmental impacts associated with the approval of site assessment activities (including the installation and operation of meteorological towers and buoys) on the leases that may be issued. As a result of its analysis in the final EA, BOEM issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The FONSI concluded that the environmental impacts associated with the preferred alternative would not significantly impact the environment; therefore, the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the availability of the EA and FONSI, which can be accessed online at: http://www.boem.gov/Renewable-Energy-Program/Smart-from-the-Start/ Index.aspx. | 2012-02-03 | 2012 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/02/03/2012-2494/commercial-wind-lease-issuance-and-site-assessment-activities-on-the-atlantic-outer-continental | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-02-03/pdf/2012-2494.pdf | Interior Department; Ocean Energy Management Bureau | 253,575 | BOEM has prepared an EA considering the environmental impacts of issuing renewable energy leases and authorizing site characterization activities (geophysical, geotechnical, archaeological, and biological surveys needed to develop specific project... |
