Commercial and Research Wind Lease and Grant Issuance and Site Assessment Activities on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf of the New York Bight Final Environmental Assessment

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has prepared this environmental assessment (EA) to determine whether the issuance of a lease and grants within the Wind Energy Areas (WEAs) in the New York Bight (NY Bight) would lead to reasonably foreseeable significant impacts on the environment and, thus, whether an environmental impact statement should be prepared before a lease is issued.
