Atlantic OCS Proposed Geological and Geophysical Activities. Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic Planning Areas. Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. Volume III: Appendices B-M

摘要

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is proposing to authorize geological and geophysical (G&G) activities in support of its oil and gas, renewable energy, and marine minerals programs in Federal waters of the Mid- and South Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and adjacent State waters. The Area of Interest (AOI) for the proposed action includes the Mid- and South Atlantic OCS Planning Areas, as well as adjacent State waters (outside of estuaries) and waters beyond the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) extending to 648 km (350 nmi) from shore. The AOI is the area in which the activities of the proposed action would take place and therefore the area of potential effect of the Programmatic EIS.
