The United States Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, issued a Determination of Eligibility Notification dated 1/04/2010 declaring that Nantucket Sound, State of Massachusetts, is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places following the opinion of the State Historic Preservation Officer and signed by C. Shull, Keeper of the National Register. According to the Keeper, the area is eligible for protection under criteria A, B, C and D; i.e., due to its cultural, archeological and historical values. The request for determination was submitted on November 18, 2009 by the Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the United States Department of Interior as part of MMS' procedures to grant a permit to build an offshore wind farm power plant in Nantucket Sound given the lack of agreement to classify this property between MMS, the State of Massachusetts authorities and the tribes in the area.
The Cape Wind Energy LLC project at Horseshoe Shoals within the Nantucket Sound will be either delayed or cancelled with this determination. The proposed project in development since 2001 includes 130 wind turbines, 400 feet tall, spread over a surface of 25 square miles in the ocean between Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island. The 130 turbines will generate 420MW of electricity or about 75% of the energy needs for Cape Cod and the islands. The estimated cost of the project is $1B.
