What will the wind park look like from Jones Beach and Robert Moses State Parks?
The siting of the Wind Park at the proposed location was based on numerous engineering and environmental factors. The wind turbine generators have been arranged in a cluster formation, which minimizes the expanse of the visual profile to Jones Beach and Robert Moses State Parks. Visual simulations of the Project have been prepared that represent views from the Central Mall at Jones Beach State Park, Gilgo Beach, Cedar Beach Park and Robert Moses State Park. These simulations were prepared for high-visibility conditions and do not include any visibility degradation due to the atmosphere and ocean interaction that often results in haze and fog. Under many weather conditions (clouds, fog, haze, etc.) the Project would be much less visible than indicated in the simulations. These simulations have been presented in the ACOE Application (Sheets 14, 16, 18 and 20 of 28) and many public forums. They are also available here: www.lipower.org/cei/offshore.study.html The Project, as part of the en
