The Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA), a U.S. coalition of fishing industry associations and fishing companies, has filed a lawsuit against the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) decision to approve the 806 MW Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind farm, which recently entered construction.

RODA filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on January 31, citing the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), among others, as defendants and claiming that government agencies had violated numerous environmental protection laws by authorizing the Vineyard Wind 1 project.

“In their haste to implement a massive new program to generate electric power by building thousands of turbine towers off the east coast on the Atlantic outer continental shelf and laying hundreds of miles of high-voltage electrical cables under the sea, the United States has shortened the law and regulatory requirements that were enacted to protect our nation’s environmental and natural resources, industries, and people.”noted Annie Hawkinexecutive director of RODA.

“The fishing industry supports strong action on climate change, but not at the expense of the ocean, its people and sustainable national seafood”, Annie Hawkin noted.

RODA expressed its disapproval of the US authorities’ decision to authorize the construction and operation of Vineyard Wind 1 in May 2021, after BOEM published a Record of Decision (ROD) for the 800 MW offshore wind farm, granting the project final federal approval to install 84 or fewer turbines off the coast of Massachusetts in federal waters south of Martha’s Vineyard.

In May 2021, RODA said that in a letter signed by nearly 1,700 people, the fishing industry and community members asked BOEM for twelve mitigation measures in the Record of Decision to ensure continued success. from the American fishing industry, but that the only response BOEM issued was that it had received the letter.

In its January 31 press release of this year, RODA said that in October 2021, it issued government agencies a 60-day notice of its intent to sue if they failed to comply with the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and other federal environmental laws, and that he has not received a response.

“Decisions on this project have not balanced the conservation and management of ocean resources and should not set a precedent for the huge ‘pipeline of projects’ the government plans to facilitate in the near term. We therefore had no alternative to filing a complaint.noted Annie Hawkinexecutive director of RODA.

The 806 MW offshore wind farm, developed by a joint venture between Iberdrola-owned Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), entered construction in November 2021 with a ground-breaking ceremony at Covell’s Beach, where the offshore wind farm will be connected to the national grid. on earth.

Vineyard Wind is the country’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm and also the first such project in the Americas region.

NEW BEDFORD – An offshore wind control center is planned for the city, Vineyard Wind said in a press release.

Vineyard Wind, a joint venture between Avangrid Renewables, a subsidiary of AVANGRID, Inc., and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners announced that Avangrid Renewables plans to build the wind control center. The proposal is the latest initiative announced as part of the company’s Commonwealth Wind proposal, which was submitted to the state for consideration in September.

Construction of the facility is expected to create around 20 jobs. Once the facility is operational in 2024, it will create up to a dozen high-skilled, well-paying, long-term jobs that will exist throughout the 25-year lifespan of the project, the statement said.

The development of the center is dependent on the state’s selection of Commonwealth Wind in the most recent round of offshore wind energy tenders.

Commonwealth Wind is a newly proposed offshore wind project subject to the Third Massachusetts Offshore Wind Competitive Solicitation. If awarded, Commonwealth Wind will be developed in an area 22 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard which was designated by the federal government in 2015 following a multi-year process with stakeholders.

The Commonwealth Wind Proposal

Commonwealth Wind can deliver up to 1,200 MW of clean and affordable energy to Massachusetts, power 750,000 homes in Massachusetts, create over 11,000 jobs (FTEs), catalyze hundreds of millions of investments in offshore wind infrastructure and provide substantive commitments to environmental justice communities.

Inspired by the work of Avangrid Renewable’s National Control Center for Onshore Renewable Assets, the center will be a state-of-the-art facility that will provide remote control for turbines, power service platforms and others. offshore / onshore assets. The center will also serve as a hub for coordination between operations and maintenance (O&M) vessels and organizations like the United States Coast Guard, in addition to being an interface for working with regional transmission organizations like ISO-NE.

City and state officials intervene

“The establishment of an offshore wind control center in New Bedford further strengthens the city’s status as a leader in this industry,” said Bill White, President and CEO Offshore at Avangrid Renewables, in the statement. . “The facility anchors Avangrid Renewables long-term operations and maintenance operations in New Bedford as we expand our offshore wind portfolio and help launch a new industry. We look forward to working with city, state and community leaders and remain committed to creating meaningful opportunities for local residents to be a part of this growing industry. ”

“We are delighted to continue to build on the tremendous work that so many people in the city and state have done to make New Bedford synonymous with offshore wind,” said Lars T. Pedersen, CEO of Vineyard Wind , in the press release. “From the recently announced partnership with Semco Maritime to the establishment of this control center, the City of New Bedford is increasingly becoming a crucial part of the DNA of this industry. If the Commonwealth Wind proposal is selected by the state, this facility will create jobs that will last a generation or more, creating opportunities for people who can help families build better lives.

“If an operations control center were established here, it would help solidify New Bedford’s status as the center of an offshore wind cluster,” New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell said in the statement. “Avangrid Renewables is an international leader in wind energy, and a long-term commitment to New Bedford would be welcome. ”

“New Bedford is the emerging epicenter of an offshore wind industry that will generate profitable and sustainable energy for the entire Commonwealth,” Senator Mark Montigny said in the statement. “There is simply no better place to centralize operations than in a powerful seaport located just outside of wind concession areas. I appreciate the investment offered by Vineyard Wind in the city and look forward to the rapid progress of this new emerging industry.

“If approved, the construction of this new offshore wind control center would be good news for New Bedford, bringing new, well-paying jobs to the community and strengthening New Bedford’s place as a leader in the industry. development of offshore wind ”, said representative Antonio Cabral in“ To reap the full benefits of offshore wind requires the commitment and cooperation of many different stakeholders, and this proposed center will play an important role in expanding opportunities for collaboration and increasing economic benefits for New Bedford and the region. ”

“This recent development is further evidence of the ripple effect of wind and offshore energy on our economy,” Representative Paul A. Schmid III said in the press release.

“The announcement of an offshore wind turbine control center in New Bedford demonstrates the city’s continued commitment to building clean energy infrastructure right here on the South Coast,” said Representative Christopher M. Markey in the Press release. “The long-term, well-paying job creation that will result from the project proves that not only is this a big step for our environment, but also for our economy.

Climate change, plastic pollution and human activities are disrupting the peace of shorebirds on the islands.

After piping plovers were added to the endangered species list in 1986, Mass Audubon started the Coastal Waterbird Program that same year to conserve bird populations. The program is designed to monitor and protect shorebirds and their habitats. According to the Mass Audubon website, the program protects 140 miles of Massachusetts coastline and manages 20 to 50 percent of the state’s populations of American oystercatchers, piping plovers and lesser terns. Of these shorebirds, piping plovers are the only species whose current conservation status is threatened at both state and national levels.

According to a press release, the number of piping plovers in Massachusetts increased from 476 pairs in 1985 to 1,818 pairs in 2019. However, Sam Kefferstan, director of Nantucket Wildlife Sanctuaries and responsible for the Coastal Waterbird Program for the Islands , said it was insufficient. The Audubon mass target of 2000 pairs.

“We are certainly making progress in their recovery, but we haven’t quite hit the recovery target,” Kefferstan said. “While this is a conservation success story, there are certainly concerns ahead, such as climate change and pollution, that seem to hamper the potential to remove these species from the list of species in the future. endangered and threatened. “

According to the State of the Birds 2017 report by Mass Audubon, rising sea levels, rising sea surface temperatures and more severe storms are among the threats to shorebirds and their habitats. nesting will face in the years to come. Kefferston said shorebirds nest just a few feet from the high tide line, so changes in the environment can have “eye-catching” effects. The nests of a thriving tern colony and its eggs at Tisbury Great Pond in West Tisbury were recently found flooded in about an inch of water. Many shorebird nests on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket have been destroyed by flooding. Kefferston said losses from floods like this will increase in the near future. In addition, nesting areas are expected to decrease due to sea level rise and beach erosion.
Human activity on beaches can also affect the growth of shorebird chicks, especially piping plovers. Piping plovers have a more laissez-faire parenting style than songbirds, such as robins. Although the piping plover’s parents are nearby, it is the chicks’ responsibility to feed and find insects to eat in the intertidal areas. Piping plover chicks may travel half a mile in their first 24 hours of life in an effort to double their weight with food.

“For them, every moment they don’t eat matters. Every move they make means growth potential that is lost, ”Kefferstan said. “If they spend this energy hiding from a raging pet, beach goer, or kite, that loss of energy translates into developing the ability to fly in 35 days.” , instead of 28. This week makes a big difference in terms of their survival. “

Kefferstan said it’s usually a “death by a thousand cuts”, rather than a single factor, that kills unlucky birds.

A big man-made problem is plastic pollution and waste. Shorebird Supervisor Emily Mello recently discovered a piping plover hatchling choking on nylon balloon string, most likely mistaking it for a worm. Kefferstan said this chick was lucky enough to pull the string through his system, but many others weren’t so lucky. The chick was able to take flight, but it fell behind its siblings and is now more vulnerable to predators such as seagulls and crows.

Kefferstan said it was “heartbreaking” for Mello, as monitors are only allowed to watch the birds without intervening. Saving a chick is an option of last resort, Kefferstan says, as parents are usually the ones who can best take care of them. Kefferstan said the monitors work closely with the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife’s Natural Heritage and Endangered Species program, and that the state ultimately decides whether a rescue was the right decision.

“You can imagine that there are a lot of risks in doing that [the rescue], especially since something of this magnitude [ingested nylon balloon string], we have to get the plover off the island, ”Kefferstan said. “That time adds up, and this is the time when they’re not on the beach doing what they should be.”

Kefferstan hopes the growing awareness of the human damage that can occur will strengthen efforts to conserve threatened and endangered species. Tackling climate change is a community effort, but Kefferstan said there are things in people’s daily lives that they can do to lessen the damage to shorebirds. These include simple acts, such as picking up after oneself and putting garbage and recyclables in the appropriate bins. “People, on the whole, want to help, but just don’t know how,” Kefferstan said.

Kefferstan also encourages people to join volunteer programs to help protect the environment and the creatures in it. One example he gave was the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary, where a group of volunteers is being formed to monitor and protect threatened and endangered species, like the piping plover. Kefferstant said volunteers will learn the ropes and be put to work quickly. Those interested in joining can contact Kefferstan at [email protected] for more information.

Walt Ranch Vineyard Project, stuck for five years in legal action, referred to Napa County Supervisory Board after a key opponent opposed revised plan to mitigate estimated climate impact the removal of thousands of trees.

The Center for Biological Diversity on Monday filed an appeal for an Oct. 1 county administrative approval of the project’s revised greenhouse gas mitigation plan, which was rejected earlier this year by Napa County and the state courts. The group and Napa Sierra Club sued the county following certification in December 2016 by supervisors of the project’s environmental impact report.

The Napa County Superior Court and 1st District Court of Appeals supported this certification, but the latter found a fault just over two years ago in the project’s plan to mitigate the elimination of 14 281 trees.

“Residents of Napa facing the aftermath of a severe drought and recent wildfires don’t need to remember that they are living in the midst of a climate crisis,” said Ross Middlemiss, lawyer at the center, based in Tucson, Arizona. organization which claims 1.7 million members. “Cutting down so many carbon sequestering trees at Walt Ranch without a responsible plan in place would be foolish, and it will add to the escalation of the emergency that will spell disaster for the entire valley.”

The center blames the county’s “flawed approach” in the revised mitigation plan “to preserve less existing forests in exchange for a planting program that is vague and unsupported by science.”

Here’s what has changed in the updated greenhouse gas plan. Mitigation measure 6.1 of the previously certified RIA provided for the permanent set aside of no less than 248 acres of oak forest habitat on the 2,300 acre property, resulting in an estimated compensation of 27,528 million tonnes of ‘carbon dioxide emissions. The review would set aside 124 acres on slopes no greater than 30% and plant up to 33,580 native oaks, in addition to an additional 525 acres on the property that should be set aside for other protected species.

The 2016 EIR was based on 507 acres of woodland that would be cleared for vineyards, but the final approved project was for 209 acres of vines out of 316 cleared acres.

The appeal notes that the plan must be specific “where the seedlings will be planted, lacking sufficient information on the current conditions in those areas, and does not detail how the county plans to ensure the success of the mitigation plantings.”

Walt Ranch claimant Hall Brambletree Associates LP, a subsidiary of Hall Wines, said in a review comment letter that major wildfires in 2017 and 2020 burned 97% of the trees on the property. But a lawyer for the center objected to that assessment, pointing to research into the Tubbs fire in 2017 which found that many burnt trees eventually survived.

The call from the center calls for the preserved areas of the property to be existing habitat, to plant trees only in historic oak forests, and to monitor new trees to ensure a survival rate of at least 80% on seven years.

“There are reasonable steps that Napa supervisors can take to ensure this project is built in a way that causes the least amount of damage,” Middlemiss said in the press release regarding the appeal. “We don’t want to be here five years from now staring at a handful of struggling trees near a once thriving forest.”

The Roma Groove allows me to express myself through great food and music at home, and the sound quality is fantastic.

The Roma Groove range hood helps home chefs find their rhythm in the kitchen with the ability to stream playlists from Bluetooth® devices such as cell phones and tablets. The hood takes center stage in the kitchen and contributes to an upbeat environment that invites family and friends. “The Roma Groove allows me to express myself through great food and music at home,” Akunowicz explains. “The sound quality is fantastic and has replaced my need for a stereo system downstairs in our house. I love that whether I’m testing recipes for my cookbook or entertaining guests, the hood takes care of the dirty work, also playing all my favorite tracks. “

Chief Akunowicz lived in Italy worked as a chef for a year and traveled across the country. This time abroad, she inspired her new restaurant, Bar Volpe. The restaurant’s design is modern Italian with a vintage touch, which includes an on-site pasta room and shop, a wood-fired grill, and a custom bar. The bar has a beautiful art deco arch where the Presrv Full Size wine cooler is located and it is one of the first things customers will see when they enter the restaurant.

“The full-size dual-zone wine cooler not only keeps our reserve bottles at the perfect temperature, whether red, white or bubbly, but also offers the combination of style and function that I was looking to incorporate into the design of the restaurant, ”Akunowicz explains.

Akunowicz stores their own favorite varietals at home in the Presrv Dual Zone wine cooler, a model that features two separate temperature zones for storing reds and whites, full-extension black wood racks, and 3-color LED lighting in cloud white, deep Blue and Amber. “I love that I can store my favorite Nebbiolo and Pino on the bottom, Prosecco and Etna Bianco on the top, and all of them are kept at the perfect temperature.”

“We love Karen’s food – and her rock’n’roll attitude,” says Luc Siow, Zéphyr President. “Her high standards have brought her to where she is today – and she also applies those standards to her home. Which is why we’re thrilled that she has partnered with us for her recent kitchen remodel and new restaurant.”
