Cape Wind Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
 The
Cape Wind Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) assesses the physical, biological and social/human impacts of the
proposed project and all reasonable alternatives, including action not taken
(i.e., the project is not built), in an objective fashion in order to
determine if the proposal is environmentally sound. A final decision will be
made, which will account for the regional, state and local benefits and
impacts as well as for the overall public interest of the United States. A
final approval will be granted only if, after consideration of both
environmental and non-environmental issues, the Bureau finds that the proposed
action is in the public interest. The DEIS and mitigation development
discussion will be important factors in this final determination. Final
action on any Bureau authorization would not occur until after the
environmental review is completed and all environmental issues have been
appropriately addressed. To obtain a single printed or CD-ROM copy of the DEIS,
e-mail
capewind@boemre.gov.
