SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: South Fork Wind seeks approval to construct, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the Projecta wind energy facility on the Outer Continental Shelf OCS
offshore Rhode Island and an associated export cable. The Project would be developed within the range of design parameters outlined in the South Fork Wind COP, subject to applicable mitigation measures. The SFWF as proposed in the COP would include up to 15 wind turbine generators with a nameplate capacity of 6 to 12 megawatts per turbine, submarine cables between the wind turbine generators inter-array cables, and an offshore substation. The SFWF would be located entirely on the OCS in the area covered by Renewable Energy Lease OCSA 0517 Lease Area, approximately 19 miles southeast of Block Island, RI, and 35 miles east of Montauk Point, NY. The SFEC is an alternating current electric cable that would connect the SFWF to the existing mainland electric grid in East Hampton, NY. The Project also would include an operations and maintenance facility located onshore at either Montauk in East Hampton, NY, or Quonset Point in North Kingstown, RI, and a facility to connect the SFEC with the Long Island Power Authority electric transmission and distribution system in the town of East Hampton, NY.

Alternatives: BOEM considered 22
alternatives when preparing the draft environmental impact statement DEIS
and carried forward four alternatives for further analysis in the DEIS and FEIS.
These four alternatives include three action alternatives and the no action alternative. Eighteen alternatives were rejected because they did not meet the purpose and need for the proposed action or did not meet screening criteria.
The screening criteria included consistency with law and regulations;
operational, technical, and economic feasibility; environmental impact; and geographical considerations.
