The application C 230228 MLR, submitted by Arthur Kill Terminal LLC, involves a landfill action of approximately 367,327 square feet in the Arthur Kill. This action is part of the development of an offshore wind turbine assembly facility located on Staten Island's western shore. The proposed facility, situated near the Outerbridge Crossing, will support the assembly and staging of wind turbine generators and other offshore wind components, including the construction of a quay. The project also includes the demapping of a portion of Richmond Valley Road and requires special permits to accommodate the necessary infrastructure, such as high light poles.
This development is significant as it supports New York City's renewable energy goals by facilitating the growth of the offshore wind industry. The facility will create new jobs, enhance Staten Island's industrial waterfront, and contribute to the city's transition towards more sustainable energy sources.
