AB - Sunrise Wind LLC (Sunrise Wind) is submitting this Construction and Operations Plan (COP) to support the siting and development of the Sunrise Wind Farm (SRWF) and the Sunrise Wind Export Cable (SRWEC) (collectively, the Sunrise Wind Farm Project or Project). Sunrise Wind is a 50/50 joint venture between Orsted North America Inc. (Orsted NA) and Eversource Investment LLC (Eversource).The wind farm portion of the Project (referred to as the Sunrise Wind Farm [SRWF]) will be located on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the designated Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 0487 (Lease Area).1 The Lease Area is approximately 18.9 statute miles (mi) (16.4 nautical miles [nm], 30.4 kilometers [km]) south of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, approximately 30.5 mi (26.5 nm, 48.1 km) east of Montauk, New York, and 16.7 mi (14.5 nm, 26.8 km) from Block Island, Rhode Island (Figure ES-1 and Figure ES-2). The Lease Area contains portions of areas that were originally awarded through the BOEM competitive renewable energy lease auctions of the Wind Energy Areas (WEA) off the shores of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Other components of the Project will be located on the OCS, in state waters of New York, and onshore in the Town of Brookhaven, Long Island, New York. The proposed interconnection location for the Project is the Holbrook Substation.The Project is defined in this COP using a Project Design Envelope (PDE) approach. The PDE defines “a reasonable range of project designs” associated with various components of a project (e.g., foundation and wind turbine generator [WTG] options) (BOEM 2018). The PDE is used to assess the potential maximum impacts on key environmental and human use resources (e.g., marine mammals, fish, benthic habitats, commercial fisheries, and navigation), focusing on the design parameter (within the defined range) that represents the greatest potential impact (i.e., the maximum design scenario) for each unique resource. The PDE for the Project is based on a generating capacity ranging between 924 megawatts (MW) and 1,034 MW with power transmitted to shore on direct current (DC) submarine cables.Appendices:Appendix A: Agency CorrespondenceAppendix B: Fisheries Communication PlanAppendix C: Coastal Zone Management Consistency CertificationsAppendix D: Certified Verification AgentAppendix E1: Emergency Response Plan/Oil Spill Response PlanAppendix E2: Safety Management SystemAppendix F: Conceptual Project Engineering Design Drawings/Additional Project InformationAppendix G1: Marine Site Investigation ReportAppendix G2: Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Risk Assessment with Risk Mitigation StrategyAppendix G3: Foundation Feasibility AssessmentAppendix G4: Cable Burial Feasibility AssessmentAppendix H: Sediment Transport Modeling ReportAppendix I1: Underwater Acoustic AssessmentAppendix I2: Onshore Acoustic AssessmentAppendix I3: Offshore In-Air Acoustic AssessmentAppendix I4: Underwater Acoustic Modeling of Detonations of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)Appendix J1: Offshore EMF AssessmentAppendix J2: Onshore EMF AssessmentAppendix K: Air Quality Emissions Calculations and MethodologyAppendix L: Onshore Ecological Assessment and Field Survey ReportAppendix M1: Benthic Resources Characterization Report – Federal WatersAppendix M1: Benthic Resources Characterization Report - Federal Waters Supporting AttachmentsAppendix M2: Benthic Resources Characterization Report – New York State WatersAppendix M3: Benthic Habitat Mapping ReportAppendix N1: Essential Fish Habitat AssessmentAppendix N2: Ichthyoplankton Entrainment AssessmentAppendix O1: Marine Mammal, Sea Turtle, and ESA-Listed Fish AssessmentAppendix O2: Marine Mammal Protected Species Mitigation and Monitoring PlanAppendix O3: Sea Turtle and ESA-listed Fish Protected Species Mitigation and Monitoring PlanAppendix P1: Avian and Bat Risk AssessmentAppendix P2: Post-construction Avian and Bat Monitoring FrameworkAppendix Q1: Offshore Visual Impacts Assessment Appendix Q1C1 Offshore Visual Impacts Assessment Visual SimulationsAppendix Q1C2 Offshore Visual Impacts Assessment Panorama Visual SimulationsAppendix Q2: Onshore Visual Resources AssessmentAppendix R: Marine Archaeological Resources AssessmentAppendix S1: Terrestrial Archaeological Resources AssessmentAppendix S2: Terrestrial Archaeological Resources Phase 1B AssessmentAppendix T: Historic Resources Visual Effects Assessment Appendix U: Onshore Above-ground Historic Properties ReportAppendix V: Commercial and Recreational Fisheries Data ReportAppendix W: Economic Modeling ReportAppendix X: Navigation Safety Risk AssessmentAppendix Y1: Obstruction Evaluation and Airspace Analysis/Radar and Navigational Aid Screening StudyAppendix Y2: Air Traffic Flow Analysis/ADLS AnalysisAppendix Z: Cultural Resources Mitigation PlanAppendix AA1: Fisheries and Benthic Monitoring PlanAppendix AA2: New York State Benthic Monitoring PlanAppendix BB: Intake Zone of Influence and Thermal Discharge Modeling Report
