Public Comment Window Now Open for Potential Bethany Beach Offshore Wind Project
There are several upcoming public meetings regarding potential off-shore wind farms off the Bethany Beach coast. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has released their Draft Environmental Impact Statement for their projects, which evaluates a number of scenarios. A 45-day public comment period begins today.
The project evaluates a number of scenarios, including “no action (i.e., disapprove the projects),” “proposed action (approve our plan according to our recommended approach),” and several alternative approaches that were conceived during the public scoping process last year.
The public meetings are set for:
- Thursday, October 19 at 1pm – VIRTUAL (Click here to Register for the Virtual Meeting)
