Notes:
• Offshore Substation location and dimensions are based on preliminary publicly available project data. Projects for which this data is not currently available, WTGs are used for all foundation positions. OSS positions and dimensions
considered in this photosimulation are subject to potential modification.
• *Historical meteorological data predicts visibility within a limit of 10 statute miles. However, visibility may extend beyond this distance. The photosimulations assume visibility extends to the limit of physical visibility (including a standard
refraction index).
• WTG positions in the photosimulations are based on a refraction value of 7/6 or an approximate 0.14 coefficient derived from observations of the constructed Block Island Wind Farm. This refraction coefficient may yield more
conservative visibility results (i.e. greater turbine visibility) that the viewshed analysis results which use a refraction coefficient of 0.13.
• **The number of WTGs visible from the KOP was determined by human verified computer generated counts performed in the 3D camera views considering screening resulting from vegetation, structures, curvature of the earth and
refraction. This count may vary from the actual number of WTGs visible in the respective views due to masking completed during post processing which may include people, waves, boats, or other minor obstructions that appear in
the photograph. Additionally, the WTG counts assumed the WTG blades are in the upright position whereas the photosimulations assume a random rotation pattern. Considering the largest WTG in the cumulative array, this could
account for up to 236 ft. (72 m) in lost maximum height depending on the rotation position.
• The cone of view indicated on the Key Observation Point Context map indicates the horizontal extent of view only and does not indicate the extent of WTG visibility.
• The Key Observation Point Context map considers screening by curvature of the earth, viewer height, and turbine height. Landscape screening features are not considered. Therefore, in this view, the number of visible turbines
depicted on the map may not match the table due to the presence of landscape screening features.

Notes:
• Offshore Substation location and dimensions are based on preliminary publicly available project data. Projects for which this data is not currently available, WTGs are used for all foundation positions. OSS positions and dimensions
considered in this photosimulation are subject to potential modification.
• *Historical meteorological data predicts visibility within a limit of 10 statute miles. However, visibility may extend beyond this distance. The photosimulations assume visibility extends to the limit of physical visibility (including a standard
refraction index).
• WTG positions in the photosimulations are based on a refraction value of 7/6 or an approximate 0.14 coefficient derived from observations of the constructed Block Island Wind Farm. This refraction coefficient may yield more
conservative visibility results (i.e. greater turbine visibility) that the viewshed analysis results which use a refraction coefficient of 0.13.
• **The number of WTGs visible from the KOP was determined by human verified computer generated counts performed in the 3D camera views considering screening resulting from vegetation, structures, curvature of the earth and
refraction. This count may vary from the actual number of WTGs visible in the respective views due to masking completed during post processing which may include people, waves, boats, or other minor obstructions that appear in
the photograph. Additionally, the WTG counts assumed the WTG blades are in the upright position whereas the photosimulations assume a random rotation pattern. Considering the largest WTG in the cumulative array, this could
account for up to 236 ft. (72 m) in lost maximum height depending on the rotation position.
• The cone of view indicated on the Key Observation Point Context map indicates the horizontal extent of view only and does not indicate the extent of WTG visibility.
• The Key Observation Point Context map considers screening by curvature of the earth, viewer height, and turbine height. Landscape screening features are not considered. Therefore, in this view, the number of visible turbines
depicted on the map may not match the table due to the presence of landscape screening features.

Notes:
• Offshore Substation location and dimensions are based on preliminary publicly available project data. Projects for which this data is not currently available, WTGs are used for all foundation positions. OSS positions and dimensions
considered in this photosimulation are subject to potential modification.
• *Historical meteorological data predicts visibility within a limit of 10 statute miles. However, visibility may extend beyond this distance. The photosimulations assume visibility extends to the limit of physical visibility (including a standard
refraction index).
• WTG positions in the photosimulations are based on a refraction value of 7/6 or an approximate 0.14 coefficient derived from observations of the constructed Block Island Wind Farm. This refraction coefficient may yield more
conservative visibility results (i.e. greater turbine visibility) that the viewshed analysis results which use a refraction coefficient of 0.13.
• **The number of WTGs visible from the KOP was determined by human verified computer generated counts performed in the 3D camera views considering screening resulting from vegetation, structures, curvature of the earth and
refraction. This count may vary from the actual number of WTGs visible in the respective views due to masking completed during post processing which may include people, waves, boats, or other minor obstructions that appear in
the photograph. Additionally, the WTG counts assumed the WTG blades are in the upright position whereas the photosimulations assume a random rotation pattern. Considering the largest WTG in the cumulative array, this could
account for up to 236 ft. (72 m) in lost maximum height depending on the rotation position.
• The cone of view indicated on the Key Observation Point Context map indicates the horizontal extent of view only and does not indicate the extent of WTG visibility.
• The Key Observation Point Context map considers screening by curvature of the earth, viewer height, and turbine height. Landscape screening features are not considered. Therefore, in this view, the number of visible turbines
depicted on the map may not match the table due to the presence of landscape screening features.

Notes:
• Offshore Substation location and dimensions are based on preliminary publicly available project data. Projects for which this data is not currently available, WTGs are used for all foundation positions. OSS positions and dimensions
considered in this photosimulation are subject to potential modification.
• *Historical meteorological data predicts visibility within a limit of 10 statute miles. However, visibility may extend beyond this distance. The photosimulations assume visibility extends to the limit of physical visibility (including a standard
refraction index).
• WTG positions in the photosimulations are based on a refraction value of 7/6 or an approximate 0.14 coefficient derived from observations of the constructed Block Island Wind Farm. This refraction coefficient may yield more
conservative visibility results (i.e. greater turbine visibility) that the viewshed analysis results which use a refraction coefficient of 0.13.
• **The number of WTGs visible from the KOP was determined by human verified computer generated counts performed in the 3D camera views considering screening resulting from vegetation, structures, curvature of the earth and
refraction. This count may vary from the actual number of WTGs visible in the respective views due to masking completed during post processing which may include people, waves, boats, or other minor obstructions that appear in
the photograph. Additionally, the WTG counts assumed the WTG blades are in the upright position whereas the photosimulations assume a random rotation pattern. Considering the largest WTG in the cumulative array, this could
account for up to 236 ft. (72 m) in lost maximum height depending on the rotation position.
• The cone of view indicated on the Key Observation Point Context map indicates the horizontal extent of view only and does not indicate the extent of WTG visibility.
• The Key Observation Point Context map considers screening by curvature of the earth, viewer height, and turbine height. Landscape screening features are not considered. Therefore, in this view, the number of visible turbines
depicted on the map may not match the table due to the presence of landscape screening features.

Notes:
• Offshore Substation location and dimensions are based on preliminary publicly available project data. Projects for which this data is not currently available, WTGs are used for all foundation positions. OSS positions and dimensions
considered in this photosimulation are subject to potential modification.
• *Historical meteorological data predicts visibility within a limit of 10 statute miles. However, visibility may extend beyond this distance. The photosimulations assume visibility extends to the limit of physical visibility (including a standard
refraction index).
• WTG positions in the photosimulations are based on a refraction value of 7/6 or an approximate 0.14 coefficient derived from observations of the constructed Block Island Wind Farm. This refraction coefficient may yield more
conservative visibility results (i.e. greater turbine visibility) that the viewshed analysis results which use a refraction coefficient of 0.13.
• **The number of WTGs visible from the KOP was determined by human verified computer generated counts performed in the 3D camera views considering screening resulting from vegetation, structures, curvature of the earth and
refraction. This count may vary from the actual number of WTGs visible in the respective views due to masking completed during post processing which may include people, waves, boats, or other minor obstructions that appear in
the photograph. Additionally, the WTG counts assumed the WTG blades are in the upright position whereas the photosimulations assume a random rotation pattern. Considering the largest WTG in the cumulative array, this could
account for up to 236 ft. (72 m) in lost maximum height depending on the rotation position.
• The cone of view indicated on the Key Observation Point Context map indicates the horizontal extent of view only and does not indicate the extent of WTG visibility.
• The Key Observation Point Context map considers screening by curvature of the earth, viewer height, and turbine height. Landscape screening features are not considered. Therefore, in this view, the number of visible turbines
depicted on the map may not match the table due to the presence of landscape screening features.

Notes:
• Offshore Substation location and dimensions are based on preliminary publicly available project data. Projects for which this data is not currently available, WTGs are used for all foundation positions. OSS positions and dimensions
considered in this photosimulation are subject to potential modification.
• *Historical meteorological data predicts visibility within a limit of 10 statute miles. However, visibility may extend beyond this distance. The photosimulations assume visibility extends to the limit of physical visibility (including a standard
refraction index).
• WTG positions in the photosimulations are based on a refraction value of 7/6 or an approximate 0.14 coefficient derived from observations of the constructed Block Island Wind Farm. This refraction coefficient may yield more
conservative visibility results (i.e. greater turbine visibility) that the viewshed analysis results which use a refraction coefficient of 0.13.
• **The number of WTGs visible from the KOP was determined by human verified computer generated counts performed in the 3D camera views considering screening resulting from vegetation, structures, curvature of the earth and
refraction. This count may vary from the actual number of WTGs visible in the respective views due to masking completed during post processing which may include people, waves, boats, or other minor obstructions that appear in
the photograph. Additionally, the WTG counts assumed the WTG blades are in the upright position whereas the photosimulations assume a random rotation pattern. Considering the largest WTG in the cumulative array, this could
account for up to 236 ft. (72 m) in lost maximum height depending on the rotation position.
• The cone of view indicated on the Key Observation Point Context map indicates the horizontal extent of view only and does not indicate the extent of WTG visibility.
• The Key Observation Point Context map considers screening by curvature of the earth, viewer height, and turbine height. Landscape screening features are not considered. Therefore, in this view, the number of visible turbines
depicted on the map may not match the table due to the presence of landscape screening features.
