CRMC, BOEM, Orsted Named in South Fork Wind Farm, South Fork Export Cable Project
FAB has provided notice of its intent to seek a judicial remedy if BOEM, Orsted, and/or the CRMC do not take action to remedy the violations detailed in this letter.”
— Marisa Desautel, Desautel LawNEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The Fisherman Advisory Board issued an official notice of intent to sue the Secretary of the Interior and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Orsted Offshore North America, and the Rhode Island Coastal Management Council for violating the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. § 1331 et seq., related to the approval, enforcement, and violations of BOEM’s Conditions of Construction and Operations Plan Approval (Construction and Operations Plan or “COP”).
“Despite consistently emphasizing that the measures contemplated did not take into account many elements of needed mitigation and that the agreed mitigation measures were insufficient to mitigate for impacts to Rhode Island-based fishermen, the CRMC agreed to an amount based upon data presented by Orsted,” said Marisa Desautel, managing attorney, Desautel Law. “FAB has provided notice of its intent to seek a judicial remedy if BOEM, Orsted, and/or the CRMC do not take action to remedy the violations detailed in this letter.”
The lawsuit pertains to the South Fork Wind Farm and South Fork Export Cable Project, which includes up to 15 wind turbine generators with a nameplate capacity of six to 12 MW per turbine, submarine cables between the WTGs (Inter-array Cables), and an offshore substation, all located approximately 19 miles southeast of Block Island, R.I.
OCSLA prescribes a framework under which the BOEM is authorized to issue leases, easements, or rights-of-way for offshore renewable energy projects.
“FAB has provided notice of its intent to seek a judicial remedy if BOEM, Orsted, and/or the CRMC do not take action to remedy the violations detailed in this letter.”
— Marisa Desautel, Desautel Law
The BOEM must consult with the U.S. Coast Guard, and other relevant federal agencies must consider several factors, including safety, protection of the environment, conservation of natural resources, and prevention of interference with reasonable uses of the area, including for fishing or navigation.
Pursuant to regulations, the leaseholder, Orsted, timely proposed a Construction and Operations Plan. The COP includes all data and information to support the plan for the wind facility, as well as proposals for minimizing environmental impacts. Following the COP proposal, BOEM is required to conduct a NEPA analysis, such as an Environmental Impact Statement, to determine whether to approve the COP, reject it, or approve it with modifications.
The FAB’s letter is provided pursuant to the 60-day notice requirement of the citizen suit provision of OCSLA to the extent such notice is deemed necessary by a court. The FAB is giving notice of its intent to seek a judicial remedy if BOEM, Orsted, and/or CRMC do not take action to remedy the violations.

Stephen Soloway, M.D. fights for his patients with “Medical Politics: How to Protect Yourself from Bad Doctors, Insurance Companies, and Big Government.”VINELAND, NEW JERSEY, USA, October 26, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dates Announced for Book Signings in NJ, NY and FL
Stephen Soloway, MD is on a mission to fight for his patients with his new book “Medical Politics: How to Protect Yourself from Bad Doctors, Insurance Companies, and Big Government,” which will be released to the public in mid-November of this year.
Fans of the “Miracle MD” can get advance copies of the new book at upcoming book signings, the first in New York City at Trump Tower held on October 27, the second in New Jersey on October 29 and the third in Miami Beach on November 5. Medical Politics is also available for pre-sale online here.
One of America’s top doctors rips peels back the curtain to expose the American healthcare system and teaches how to navigate through the tricky web of insurance companies and service providers.
“I am passionate about helping patients. After my own harrowing ordeal in a hospital, I realized what can go wrong if you aren’t prepared. This book empowers you to be your own advocate and avoid a medical nightmare,” said Soloway.
Legislation written by drug and insurance companies, malpractice by corrupt and incompetent doctors, misguided and dishonest medical policy—the reality may be worse than you feared, and Medical Politics exposes all the secrets of a dirty American health care industry.
Written by Stephen Soloway, one of America’s top rheumatologists and a former appointee to President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, this expose provides an inside look at how medical decisions are lobbied and money influences policy at the highest levels, explains how recent and upcoming medical policies will affect common Americans, and gives recommendations for a better American medical system.
According to Pete Hegseth, #1 New York Times bestselling author, co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend, and decorated US Army veteran, “Dr. Soloway’s book is an important and compelling read. Fighting hard in the trenches for his patients shows a great deal of strength, knowledge, and compassion. He lays out a game plan for a Superbowl-sized medical win for patients…and freedom. The book is jam packed with information, but also very enjoyable to read.”
Featuring the author’s personal letters to dirty insurance companies and other figures in the industry, Medical Politics takes readers inside Dr. Soloway’s fight against Big Pharma and Big Insurance in search of better care for his patients. The result is a shocking indictment of the American medical system from an insider–and charts a path for Americans to better advocate for themselves.
