Maryland-based offshore wind developer, US Wind, Inc., announced Monday that it has launched oceanographic survey activities within its Maryland offshore lease area. A team of scientists and other experts will collect data beginning in April into July 2021 to inform project design, including foundation type, turbine location, and cable burial routes.
“These seabed surveys are an important next step in our commitment to providing Maryland with clean, renewable energy,” said Jeff Grybowski, US Wind CEO. “Data collected will ensure safe and long-term operations and performance of our offshore wind facilities.”
The geophysical survey operations will be conducted along a tartan-pattern survey grid by U.S. marine research vessels R/V Brooks McCall and the R/V Miss Emma McCall. Operated by TDI-Brooks, Inc., both vessels are designed to execute geophysical surveys for offshore hazard and site clearance assessments, cable routing, seafloor mapping, fisheries habitat mapping, and burial assessment studies.
US Wind said it has already begun an extensive outreach effort to local fishermen to inform them of these survey activities.
this will be a huge disaster and a decades long regret if you allow this taxpayer rip off and environmental threat to progress.
only the weak and feeble minded promote and allow this to happen to their citizens.
I hope they stick em’ right up Ocean City’s ass.
You will be paying for this for many years after the scammers that sold it are long gone!
Who is responsible when the things break? Is there an environmental impact when they fail and who takes care of that?
Booooo. Waste fraud and abuse. Those approving this wont be around to feel the wrath….and they dont care.
An unfolding debacle.
Move them up to DE so SloJoe can look out from his seaside mansion and gaze at them and ask Dr. Jill what’s that?
