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/
offshore/RenewableEnergy/CapeWind.htm.
