DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Minerals Management Service 

Environmental Assessment Prepared 

for Proposed Cape Wind Energy 

Project in Nantucket Sound, Offshore 

Massachusetts 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and 

Finding of No New Significant Impact 

(FONNSI) 

SUMMARY: The MMS, in accordance with 

regulations implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 

announces the availability of an EA and 

FONNSI for the Cape Wind Energy 

Project proposed for Nantucket Sound, 

offshore Massachusetts. On January 16, 

2009, the MMS announced the release 

of the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) for the Cape Wind 

Energy Project. The FEIS assessed the 

physical, biological, and social/human 

impacts of the proposed project and 13 

alternatives, including a no-action 

alternative (i.e., the project is not built), 

and proposed mitigation. 

The MMS prepared this EA to 

determine whether MMS needs to 

supplement the FEIS for the Cape Wind 

Energy Project by examining whether 

there are ‘‘substantial changes in the 

proposed action that are relevant to 

environmental concerns’’ or whether 

‘‘there are significant new circumstances 

or information relevant to 

environmental concerns and bearing on 

the proposed action or its impacts’’ that 

either were not fully discussed or did 

not exist at the time the FEIS was 

prepared (40 CFR 1502.9). The MMS 

reviewed information obtained from the 

scientific/technical literature, 

government reports and actions, 

intergovernmental coordination and 

communications, required 

consultations, comments made during 

the FEIS comment period, and 

comments received during the 30-day 

comment period after the initial 

circulation of this EA on March 8, 2010. 

This included the information discussed 

in the January 13, 2010, MMS 

Documentation of Section 106 Finding 

of Adverse Effect (Revised Finding), 

contained in the comments received 

during the 30-day period offered after 

the Revised Finding was circulated, and 

the information contained in the April 

2, 2010, comment by the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation. 

The MMS has determined that there 

is no new information that would 

necessitate a re-analysis of the range of 

the alternatives or the kinds, levels, or 

locations of the impacts of the Proposed 

Action on socioeconomic conditions or 

biologic, physical, or cultural resources. 

The analyses, potential impacts, and 

conclusions detailed in the FEIS remain 

valid. Therefore, the MMS has 

concluded that a supplemental EIS is 

not required. The EA and FONNSI are 

available at http://www.mms.gov/

CapeWind.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

November 2001, Cape Wind Associates, 

LLC, applied for a permit from the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 

under the Rivers and Harbors Act of 

1899 to construct a wind power facility 

on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket 

Sound, offshore Massachusetts. 

Following the passage of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) and 

associated amendments to the Outer 

Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 

the Department of the Interior was given 

statutory authority to issue leases, 

easements, and rights-of-way for 

renewable energy projects on the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS). Accordingly, 

Cape Wind Associates, LLC, submitted 

an application to the MMS in 2005 to 

construct, operate, and eventually 

decommission an offshore wind power 

facility on Horseshoe Shoal in 

Nantucket Sound. 

The project calls for 130, 3.6 

megawatt (MW) wind turbine 

generators, each with a maximum blade 

height of 440 feet, to be arranged in a 

grid pattern in 25 square miles of 

Nantucket Sound, offshore Cape Cod, 

Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket 

Island. With a maximum electric output 

of 468 MW and an average anticipated 

output of 182 MW, the facility is 

projected to generate up to threemstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
