Maryland Offshore Wind Construction and Operations Plan

US Wind, Inc. (US Wind) is developing the Maryland Offshore Wind Project (the Project), an offshore wind energy project of up to approximately 2 gigawatts (GW) of nameplate capacity within OCS-A 0490 (the Lease), a Lease area of approximately 80,000 acres located off the coast of Maryland on the Outer Continental Shelf. The purpose of the Project is to provide offshore wind renewable energy generation within the Lease area to fulfil renewable energy standards and targets set by the state of Maryland and the United States. 0F 1 The Project will produce utility-scale power to the regional electric grid, help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, diversify the nation’s energy portfolio, and create new economic development opportunities, including employment creation, in the region. This Construction and Operations Plan (COP) provides an overview of the Project’s construction, operations and maintenance, and decommissioning, in accordance with Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) regulatory requirements. 1F 2

The COP is organized as two volumes. Volume I provides information about the Project’s technology and components, including construction, operations, and decommissioning of the Project. Necessary regulatory approvals are also part of Volume I. Volume II of the COP presents information about the existing site conditions and various resources, potential impacts of the Project, and related avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to minimize impacts. A summary of impacts and mitigation measures can be found in Volume II.
