Since 2005, BOEM has been charged with issuing leases on the Outer Continental Shelf for potential renewable energy projects including wind energy. As part of this management responsibility, BOEM uses the best available science in their environmental assessments of proposed leases, so that precautions are taken to mitigate potential environmental impacts and address public concerns. The main goal of this study was to assess the environmental risks, fates, and effects of chemical releases, including oils, associated with routine operations and maintenance of offshore wind turbines, as well as catastrophic events (e.g., toppling of one, multiple or all wind turbines, and topple of the electrical service platform). This study does not address spills from vessels transiting through wind facility, nor does it address spills arising from the construction of these facilities.
