Subject: BITS/BIWF Cable Construction

Kokosing Industrial will be conducting submarine cable installation work in support of the sea2shore Renewable Link (BITS) and Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF). The work is scheduled to start on or about April 1 and continues through June 5.

LS Cable and Kokosing Industrial respectfully requests that fishermen remove their  fishing gear/traps from the selected cable route, and maintain a clear path 300 feet on either side of the center line. Please see the attached northings and eastings for the BITS and BIWF cable routes and overview chart. Kokosing will return to fishermen any gear/traps that may get fouled in the cable equipment but is not responsible for replacement of the gear.
