Introduction 3 4 In the coming years the Martha’s Vineyard and Gosnold communities will be involved in many decisions 5 about wind energy development, both on land and offshore in state and federal waters. 6 In 2008 and 2009, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts prepared the Massachusetts Ocean Management 7 Plan which designated for commercial scale wind energy development two Wind Energy Areas (with a 8 capacity of about 160 turbines), both in Dukes County. It also provided an allocation of 17 additional 9 turbines in the other state waters of Dukes County. The Commonwealth also proposed an act that would 10 allow the state to preempt local authority in authorizing land-based utility-scale wind facilities. (see section 11 2.4) 12 In late 2009, the Martha’s Vineyard Commission designated the Island Wind District of Critical Planning 13 Concern (see section 2.5.2) to provide a regulatory framework for development of utility scale turbines, and 14 late 2010, it adopted interim regulations for this type of development. In 2011, the interim regulations were 15 extended for another two years. 16 Wind Energy Plan for Dukes County 4 17 A – Land— in Dukes County 25 E – Area for possible future innovative or community 18 B – Martha’s Vineyard (Nomans) Wind Energy Area26 development – Federal waters 19 as defined in the Massachusetts Ocean 27 F -- Massachusetts Wind Development Area – 20 Management Plan – in Dukes County 28 Federal waters being pursued for possible 21 C – Gosnold (Cuttyhunk) Wind Energy Area as 29 development (limits as of October 2012) 22 defined in the Massachusetts Ocean 30 G – Rhode Island - Massachusetts Area of Mutual 23 Management Plan – in Dukes County 31 Interest - Federal waters (limits as of October 24 D – Waters within Dukes County 32 2012) 33 H – Cape Wind project – Federal waters Wind Energy Plan for Dukes County 5 The Wind Energy Plan The Wind Energy Plan for Dukes County is an effort – facilitated by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission and involving a Work Group of representatives of the seven towns and other organization – to help the community deal with the potential and challenges of wind energy. The MVC staff and Work Group researched wind energy to better understand the specific pros and cons of what wind turbines might mean for our community with respect to a wide range of topics, including wind resources, noise, scenic and cultural impacts, natural resources, recreational activities, construction, operation, and decommissioning. They identified criteria, prepared a series of maps of areas with special resources that appear to be more sensitive to the impacts of wind turbines, and developed a methodology to identify the areas of the most significant scenic resources. The Plan deals with both land-based and offshore wind energy facilities, including wind turbines, ancillary equipment, access roads, and transmission lines. The following are some of the specific outcomes of the Plan: DCPC Model Regulations: The Plan includes a set of model regulations, completed in December 2010, for possible adoption by the towns under the Island Wind District of Critical Planning Concern now in effect in most of the land and waters of Dukes County. (Appendix A1) Offshore Wind in State Waters: The Plan provides a basis for the MVC’s determination of what constitutes “appropriate scale” for offshore development in state waters in Dukes County, as the Commission is mandated to do under the Massachusetts Ocean Management Plan. DRI Thresholds and Policy: The Plan recommends thresholds for adoption by the MVC in its DRI Checklist to determine when towns should refer turbine applications to the Commission for review as Developments of Regional Impact. Project Evaluation Criteria: The Plan provides analysis and criteria that the Martha’s Vineyard Commission and town boards can use to review applications for wind turbines. Federal Planning: The planning process has already helped the community comment on offshore planning in federal waters, especially with respect to the Rhode Island / Massachusetts Area of Mutual Interest southwest of the Vineyard, and the Massachusetts BOEMRE Request for Interest Area south of the Vineyard (see section 2.3). Town Regulations: Towns can use elements in the Plan, and especially the Model DCPC Regulations, as a basis to draft or modify their regulations and standards. Project Planning: The Plan can be used by towns, cooperatives, and property owners to locate and plan wind energy projects. The existence of clear project evaluation criteria will allow property owners and developer to know what parameters must be met and what factors the regulatory authority will weigh in evaluating the proposal. The Wind Energy Plan draws on a number of sources of information. The Massachusetts Ocean Management Plan, described in more detail below, compiled maps and data from a wide variety of sources on many of the factors involved in siting offshore wind turbines. Many of these materials about natural resources and human uses were used as a starting point for efforts here and no attempt has been made to repeat that information. The Rhode Island Ocean SAMP, also described in more detail below, provided additional data and criteria, including information about The MVC, working with the Dukes County Martha’s Vineyard Fishermen’s Association, compiled data about where local fishermen fish. Wind Energy Plan for Dukes County 6 MVC staff also did considerable research on various aspects of wind energy development. It is worth noting that it has been challenging to find objective and reliable information about wind energy development; much of the available information comes from sources which might not be completely objective. On one hand, there could be concern that information and proposed standards from the wind industry and government departments with the specific mandate of promoting wind energy might downplay the possible negative impacts associated with developing wind turbines and propose standards that are too permissive. On the other hand, groups opposing wind farms seem to emphasize the most negative impacts of wind energy development and call for standards that appear to be quite restrictive. The MVC coordinated efforts with the Cape Cod Commission’s largely parallel effort to prepare the Cape Cod Ocean Management Plan, and draws from some of its research and analysis. An Evolving Context and Levels of Uncertainty A fundamental dilemma regarding wind energy within the boundaries of Dukes County is how to reconcile two important environmental and community goals: increasing the generation of renewable energy to supplant fossil fuel-based fuels, and protecting the unique character, ecology, and quality of life of a place such as the Vineyard.

    Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Sandy Beaches in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) prior to Hurricane Sandy: Maine to the North Shore and Peconic Estuary of New York1 Tracy Monegan Rice Terwilliger Consulting, Inc. June 2015 Recovery Task 1.2 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Recovery Plan for the piping plover (Charadrius melodus) prioritizes the maintenance of “natural coastal formation processes that perpetuate high quality breeding habitat,” specifically discouraging the “construction of structures or other developments that will destroy or degrade plover habitat” (Task 1.21), “interference with natural processes of inlet formation, migration, and closure” (Task 1.22), and “beach stabilization projects including snowfencing and planting of vegetation at current or potential plover breeding sites” (Task 1.23) (USFWS 1996, pp. 65-67). This assessment fills a data need to identify such habitat modifications that have altered natural coastal processes and the resulting abundance, distribution, and condition of currently existing habitat in the breeding range. Four previous studies provided these data for the United States (U.S.) continental migration and overwintering range of the piping plover (Rice 2012a, 2012b) and the southern portion of the U.S. Atlantic Coast breeding range (Rice 2014, 2015a). This assessment provides these data for one habitat type – namely sandy beaches within the northern portion of the breeding range along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. prior to Hurricane Sandy. A separate report assessed tidal inlet habitat in the same geographic range prior to Hurricane Sandy (Rice 2015b). Separate reports will assess the status of these two habitats in the northern and southern portions of the U.S.
