The Division of Water and Division of Watershed Stewardship will conduct聽a joint virtual public hearing regarding the proposed offshore wind project. The hearing will take place on Tuesday, July 9th at 6 p.m. An information session on Delaware’s regulatory process was held earlier this month in Lewes. At the July 9th meeting, the Division of Water and Division of Watershed Stewardship will consider comments on the permit requests as they relate to the offshore wind project. The wind farm’s power transmission cables are proposed to land at Delaware Seashore State Park’s 3R’s Beach and connect with a substation to be built near the Indian River power plant.聽
