Salem Wind Port

FPA is providing permitting services for the development of an offshore wind marshalling terminal in Salem. This facility is being built out by Crowley, on land owned by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MACEC), to support Avengrid’s offshore wind farms south of Martha’s Vineyard. Our team is conducting the environmental studies and obtaining the necessary authorizations for the development of a new heavylift deployment terminal for offshore wind marshalling operations for both currently proposed fixed-bottom and future floating offshore wind platforms.

FPA is responsible for securing the following regulatory approvals:

• Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA)
• MassDEP 401 Water Quality Certification
• Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Federal Consistency Review
• Salem Conservation Commission
• Salem Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals
• Federal Aviation Administration
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 10/404/103
• National Environment Policy Act (NEPA)
• U.S. EPA National Pollution Discharge Elimination System

FPA is utilizing a streamlined permit acquisition strategy to move the project through design, permitting, and construction within an aggressive schedule.
