Title:
Proposed site of Cape Wind turbines, Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts, 2005
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
Description:
Abstract:
These GIS data contain the proposed locations of individual wind turbines as part of the Cape Wind energy project located on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the Massachusetts coast. Coordinates were based on GPS coordinates and reflects the revised Project layout of 07/05/05. Details of the field survey data collection are unknown.
Purpose:
This dataset was created for reference and display of proposed energy facilities in Massachusetts coastal waters, and originally developed by the applicant, Cape Wind Associates, LLC, to supplement an extensive permitting process of their proposed wind farm. Component of Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management Human Uses database.
Supplemental_Information:
Cape Wind is a project being developed by Energy Management Inc. (EMI). EMI is a Massachusetts-based energy company with a history of developing clean energy generation projects in New England.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Cape Wind was contacted to obtain the most accurate data available on location of the wind turbine project. Cape Wind data was provided by Mr. Craig Olmstead of Cape Wind in the form of both Long\Lat and State Plane Coordinates. These data obtained by GPS, were received as an electronic spreadsheet. Electronic spreadsheet coordinates were converted to .dbf format and brought into ArcGIS as X,Y data and converted to shapefile (.SHP) format. Details of the field survey data collection is unknown.
