AU - Vanasse Hangen Brustlin
AB - This report supplements the Revolution Wind Farm Construction and Operations Plan. The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide supplemental information used to assess impact producing factors (IPFs) from the Construction, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and Decommissioning Phases of the Onshore Facilities on onshore natural resources. Onshore natural resources include habitat and land cover types, wetlands and surface waters, wildlife, rare, threatened and endangered (RTE) plant and animal species, and invasive species. VHB biologists conducted desktop assessments and Project-specific field investigations of the existing onshore natural resources in portions of the Project Area that included the Landfall Work Area, Onshore Transmission Cable route, the OnSS, the ICF, and the TNEC ROW. An overview of the methodologies employed in the field investigations is provided in Section 3.0 of this Report.  This Report also includes information about the onshore natural resources present within the TNEC Davisville Substation parcel as prepared by LEC Environmental Consultants, Inc. (LEC), Inc. in a Site Evaluation Report (SER) dated December 18, 2019 as well as a follow-up site evaluation performed July 13, 2020 which is documented in a separate memo dated August 6, 2020. The SER provides an overview of the habitat conditions and wetland resources within the Davisville Substation parcel and has been used to assess the baseline conditions and impact analysis of the Davisville Interconnection Cable Route.
