Any person may request, in writing, before this public notice expires, that a public hearing be held to collect information
necessary to consider this application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity, the reasons why a
public hearing should be held. It should be noted that information submitted by mail is considered just as carefully in the
permit decision process and bears the same weight as that fumished at a public hearing.
Our preliminary determination is that the activity for which authorization is sought herein is not likely to affect any
federally endangered or threatened species or their critical habitat. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act (16 U.S.C. 1531), the District Engineer is consulting with the appropriate Federal agency to determine the presence
of and potential impacts to listed species in the project area or their critical habitat.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery conservation and Management Act, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of
1996 (16 USC 1801 et .seq.) requires federal agencies to consult with the N<$>nal Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration Fisheries Service (NOAA-FS) on all actions. A complete description of the applicant's' proposed project
is in the enclosed work description. The Corps of Engineers has made the preliminary determination, based on
information that is currently available, that the site-specific adverse effects are not likely to be substantial. However,
further consultation with NOAA-FS regarding impacts to Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) and conservation
recommendations to protect EFH will be concluded prior to a final permit decision.
Based upon a review of the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places, there are two known
sites eligible for, or included in, the Register within the general vicinity of the applicant's proposed project. These are
the Orient Historic District and the Terry-Mulford House. Presently unknown archaeological, scientific, prehistorical,
or historical data may be lost by work accomplished under the required permit. Consultation with the New York State
Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation will be undertaken to ensure that the requirements of Section
106 of the National Historical Preservation Act of 1966 (16 USC 470), are satisfied prior to final permit decision.
Reviews of activities pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act will include application of the guidelines
promulgated by the Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under authority of Section 404 (b) of the
Clean Water Act and the applicant will obtain a water quality certificate or waiver from the appropriate state agency in
accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act prior to a permit decision.
Pursuant to Section 307 (c) of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 as amended [16 U.S.C. 1456 (c)], for
activities under consideration that are located within the coastal zone of a state which has a federally approved coastal

PUBLIC NOTICE NO. NAN-2005-00367-WMI
WORK DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Winergy Power LLC, has requested Department of the Army (DA) authorization for construction of an
Offshore Wind Park consisting of either a two or three wind.turbine generator option using monopile towers and a jack-up
barge in different configurations. Submarine electric cables are also proposed between the wind-turbines and from the
turbines to shore. The submarine transmission cable would connect the offshore wind turbine generators to an existing
electric substation located in the upland. The offshore wind park would be located in Gardiners Bay, 0.28 miles (1500-
feet) offshore of Plum Island, and 2.1 miles off-shore of Orient Point, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York.
The applicant's stated purpose for this project is to provide a Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) project
to study the effects of the presence of wind turbines in the marine environment. The applicant expects to demonstrate
that an offshore project can become economically self-sustaining and providll.. an opportunity for regulators,
environmentalists, utilities and the general public to become familiar with offshore wind energy technology and assess its'
viability for larger scale deployment in deeper offshore waters.
.
To assist the readers review of the applicant's proposed activity, 27 maps, drawings and photo simulations are enclosed
with this work description. Sheets 16 through 27 are a set of computer-generated depictions submitted by the applicant
showing the view of the turbines from nine locations, if a DA permit were issued.
Offshore Wind Turbine Generators
This work would involve installing either three (3) 3.6 Megawatt (MW) wind-lurbine generator towers, two on Monopile
Steel Towers; and one on a jack-up barge; or two (2) 5.0 MW wind-lurbine generator towers, one a Monopile Steel
Tower (Sheets 3 & 4fand one on a jack-up barge (Sheets 7 & 8). The nearest wind-turbine generator tower would be
located 0.28 miles (15oo-feet) from the Shore of Plum Island. The wind-turbine generator towers would be spaced at an
average interval of approximately 3100 feet from the other wind-turbine generator tower, and cover an approximately 200
acre area (Sheet 1).
The 5.0 MW wind-turbine generator towers would extend 312-feet above the elevation of Mean Low Water (MLW). The
rotor blade radius would be 207 -feet, giving a maximum height of the tower and the rotor as approximately 520 feet above
MLW when measured at the peak of the blades. The turbine blades would spin at the rate of approximately 13-17
revolutions per minute, depending on the speed of the wind.
MonoPile Scour Protection Mats
After the monopile tower(s) are installed, and the jack-up barge is in place, scour control measures would be put in
place on the ocean floor (Sheet 5). At the base of each monopile, eight (8) 8.2' by 16.4' mattresses, covering an area of
1,076 square feet would be installed. Each mattress consists of buoyant synthetic fronds, attached to a webbed mat of
polyester, which is in turn anchored to the seabed, as depicted on Sheet 6. For the three wind-lurbine generator
proposal, 40 mattresses would be installed, between the two monopile foundations and the three legs of the jack-up
barge, which cover 5,320 square feet.
'.
Cables
The offshore-to-onshore inner array submarine cables wouid be installed using the jet plowing method (Sheet 13). This
would create a trench approximately 36-inches wide and six feet deep, into which the cabie is laid, and immediately
covered with the sea-bed sediment. The cable would be plowed six (6) feet beneath the seabed, except where
obstructed. If obstructions, such as boulders are encountered that preclude successful burial of any length of the cable to
a depth of six feet, then the cable would be buried to the maximum depth possible.
The cable would consist of one cable in three sequential segments (Sheet 13) installed via jet piow and Horizontal
Directional Drill from the furthest wind turbine to the substation on Orient Point, a distance of approximately 24,200-
feet.

CENAN-OP-RW
PUBLIC NOTICE NO. NAN-2005-00367-WMI
As depicted on sheet 10, from turbine A to turbine B there would be 3,200 feet of 3-conductor, armored 34.5 kV cable
installed via jet plow. As the cable approaches turbine B it transitions from a buried cable into a J-Tube that runs up
the monopile foundation of the wind turbine, where it connects into the electric switchgear of turbine B. The cable
then continues down the monopile foundation and where it is buried via jet plow to turbine C. The distance from B to
C is approximately 3,000 feet. From turbine C to point D the cable segment leaving wind turbine C carries all power
from the three turbines to shore. From turbine C, there would be 4,200-feet of cable installed via jet plow to point D.
From point D, the single cable would run 12,500-feet towards Orient Point via jet plow, to point E, 500 feet offshore of
Orient Point. From point E to point F the cable would transition into a 1O-inch diameter plastic conduit installed via
Horizontal Direction Drilling.
. Horizontal Directional Drill
The section of cable installed via Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) would be buried a !JJlnimum of 6 feet deep below the
seabed, with portions near the center of the HDD path that could be buried up to 80 feet deep in the onshore leg. As
shown on Sheet 12, the HDD would terminate approximately six feet below the seabed, approximately 500 feet from
shore in Gardiner's Bay. As depicted on Sheet 12, when the cable laying vessel approaches this HDD termination point
the jet plow would expose the end of the HDD section. The end of the cable would then be pulled into the HDD section
assisted by divers who would manually expose the end of the HDD section in the event the jet plowing does not leave the
HDD termination exposed. This manual wor1< is anticipated to require no more than 2-3 feet of excavation over an eight
square foot area. Once the cable is pulled into the HDD section, this HDD termination point would remain temporarily
exposed in a shallow trench. At this time, in order to ensure the proper burial depth, either jet plow would be utilized to
submerge the cablelHDD transition point, as depicted in Step 3, or divers would manually achieve burial to a six-foot
minimum depth. No cofferdam is anticipated to be necessary.
Ooerations Center
The applicant reports that the operations of the offshore wind park would be monitored from Winergy's office at 150 Motor
Par1<way, Suite 425, Hauppauge, NY 11788-9998. The applicant indicates that a local office may be opened during the
construction phase of the project, if required.
Staaina Area
The applicant reports that the staging area that would be utilized in construction of the proposed wind farm would be
either in Quonset, RI, New London, CT, or Elizabeth, NJ. All the proposed areas are deepwater ports. No dredging
would be required for any project activity. There would be no local, land-based activities within the immediate proximity of
the proposed project site. The applicant indicates that during the construction period, barges and ships would remain
anchored at the site. Personnel would be ferried to and from the site from existing marinas.
..
Liahtina
The wind turbines would be equipped with FAA-approved lights atop each tower. Any lighting around the bases would be
configured as required by the U.S. Coast Guard. The jack-up barge would be lit to meet the requirements of both a
vessel and a stationary object in the ocean. The barge would also have navigation lights along the sides of the barge and
deck lights for use during towing. There would be lights on the turbine tower, about 20 feet above the deck of the barge
and guide lights (and rails) to ensure safety of personnel who are at the site during periods of reduced visibility.
Decommissionina
The applicant has indicated that the life expectancy for wind turbines in the ocean is 20 years. This project is proposed
for a period of 10 years. The decommissioning process would involve removal of the wind turbines, bases and cable end.
The cables would be left buried in the seabed. The turbines on monopile bases would be removed from above by crane
and barge. The monopile bases would be cut 6 feet below the surface of the seabed and removed. The remainder of the
bases would be left buried in the ground. The wind turbine on the monopile platform would be disconnected from the
cables and then floated back to port for decommissioning. All project decommissioning steps would be accomplished
within a matter of severai weeks.

SIMULATED PANORAMA OF 520-FOOT TALL WIND TURBINES AT VARIOUS DISTANCES FROM SHORE FROM THE SAME VIEWPOINT
AS THE SIMULATED VIEW FROM THE ENTRANCE ROAD TO ORIENT POINT STATE PARK.
THE PANORAMA WAS CONSTRUCTED BY DIGITALLY CLONING A SECTION OF OPEN OCEAN ~RO~ THE ORIENT PARK STATE PARK
50 MM DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH, THEN DIGITALLY EDITING THE IMAGE TO CREATE THE APPEARANCE OF A CONTINUOUS OCEAN
PANORAMA. By USING A CLONED SECTION OF THE ORIGINAL DIGITAL IMAGE AND THEN USING THE ORIGINAL DIGITAL IMAGE TO
SIZE THE WIND TURBINES, THE HIGH FIDELITY OF THE SIMULATED IMAGES AND THEIR VISUAL SIZE IN RELATION TO THE POINT
OF VIEW OF THE OBSERVER IN THE PHOTOGRAPH ARE MAINTAINED WHEN TRANSFERRED TO THE CLONED IMAGE.
THE WIND TURBINES WERE CREATED IN THE ORIGINAL ORIENT POINT ENTRANCE ROAD IMAGE, WHERE THE KNOWN HEIGHT OF
THE PLUM ISLAND WATER TOWER COULD BE USED TO MATHEMATICALLY PORTRAY HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL IMAGES THAT
FAITHFULLY SIMULATE REAL-WORLD VIEWS AT VARIOUS DISTANCES.
