SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Action: US Wind seeks 

approval to construct, operate, and 

maintain the Project: a wind facility up 

to 2.2 gigawatts on the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) off the coast of 

Maryland. The Project would be 

developed within the range of design 

parameters outlined in the Maryland 

Offshore Wind COP, subject to 

applicable mitigation measures. The 

Project includes MarWin, a wind farm 

of approximately 300 megawatts (MW) 

for which the State of Maryland 

awarded offshore renewable energy 

credits (ORECs) to US Wind in 2017; 

Momentum Wind, consisting of 

approximately 808 MW for which the 

State of Maryland awarded US Wind 

additional ORECs in 2021; and buildout of the remainder of the lease area to 

fulfill ongoing, government-sanctioned 

demands for offshore wind energy. 

US Wind proposes to construct and 

operate up to 114 wind turbines and up 

to four offshore substations with one 

offshore export cable route under the 

terms of Renewable Energy Lease OCS– 

A 0490. The lease area is located ten 

miles off the coast of Maryland. The 

onshore components of the Project 

would include a cable landfall area at 

3Rs beach in Delaware. From the 

landfall, onshore cables would continue 

along an inshore cable export route in 

Indian River Bay to connect to a single 

onshore substation adjacent to the point 

of interconnection in Dagsboro, 

Delaware. 

Alternatives: BOEM considered 14 

alternatives when preparing the DEIS 

and carried forward five alternatives for 

further analysis in the DEIS. These five 

alternatives include four action 

alternatives and a no action alternative. 

BOEM rejected nine alternatives 

because they did not meet the purpose 

and need for the proposed action or did 

not meet screening criteria, which are 

presented in DEIS section 2.2. The 

screening criteria included consistency 

with law and regulations; technical and 

economic feasibility; environmental 

impact; and geographic considerations. 

Availability of the DEIS: The DEIS, 

Maryland Offshore COP, and associated 

information are available on BOEM’s 

website at: https://www.boem.gov/ 

renewable-energy/state-activities/uswind. If you need a flash drive or paper 

copy, BOEM will provide one upon 

request, as long as copies are available. 

You may request a flash drive or paper 

copy of the DEIS by calling (703) 787– 

1520. 

Cooperating Agencies: The following 

nine Federal and State agencies 

participated as cooperating agencies in 

the preparation of the DEIS: Bureau of 

Safety and Environmental Enforcement; 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; 

National Marine Fisheries Service; U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers; U.S. Coast 

Guard; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 

National Park Service; Maryland 

Department of the Environment; and 

Delaware Department of Natural 

Resources and Environmental Control.

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and 

any relevant court orders. If your

accordance with the Department’s FOIA 

regulations and applicable law.

information as ‘‘Contains Confidential 

Information,’’ and consider submitting

labeled as privileged or confidential 

may be regarded by BOEM as suitable 

for public release.
