The distance from the Southeast portion would be about 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point); and from the Western WTG would be about 5.5 miles to Martha’s Vineyard (Cape Poge). 71) What is an EIS?

Once it goes through the full federal and state environmental reviews and a Record of Decision is made, the Corps will make a permit decision . . .

The Corps had its consultant, The Bioengineering Group, put together a group of experts in the field of renewable energy and wind power, now referred to as The Peer Review Committee. They were asked to comment on the EIS purpose and need information and the screening criteria. They did not review specific sites. Since there are no published standards for offshore wind power development, the Corps hoped that . . .

Our higher headquarters requested a review of the Draft EIS before it was published.
