Comments accepted on project off Harbor Road until April 9
The Maryland Department of the Environment will hold a public hearing this month on an application from US Wind to construct a concrete pier off Harbor Road.
As part of its plans to construct an operations and maintenance facility in West Ocean City, US Wind has applied with the Maryland Department of the Environment to construct a 625-foot long by 32-foot-wide concrete pier with associated wave break and timber fenders and 435 feet of replacement bulkhead from its project location at 12929 and 12933 Harbor Road.
A public hearing on the company’s application will be held 5:30-8 p.m., March 25, at Wor-Wic Community College’s Fulton-Owen Hall. A poster session will be held from 5:30-6 p.m., followed by the hearing at 6 p.m.
“US Wind is advancing permits for various aspects of the project, consistent with what has been included in our Construction and Operations Plan and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement issued by BOEM last October,” Ben Cooper, US Wind’s director of marine affairs, said. “This permit hearing concerns the pier and bulkhead of a planned operations and maintenance facility required by the state to be located in the Ocean City region. The pier, as many locals know, was built 45 years ago and is in desperate need of improvement. This permit seeks to make those improvements. US Wind has been engaging with the state and local fishermen on our project plans and will continue to do so throughout the process.”
