| FORM 990,PART I, LINE 1: | MISSION: THE ALLIANCE TO PROTECT NANTUCKET SOUND IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION REPRESENTING OVER 30,000 SUPPORTERS DEDICATED TO THE LONG TERM PRESERVATION OF NANTUCKET SOUND. THE ALLIANCE WAS FORMED IN 2002 IN OPPOSITION TO THE CAPE WIND PROPOSAL TO BUILD A 25 SQUARE-MILE WIND ENERGY GENERATION PLANT IN NANTUCKET SOUND. THE PRIVATE, FOR-PROFIT VENTURE WOULD CONSIST OF 130 WIND TURBINES, EACH 440 FEET TALL, SPANNING 25 SQUARE MILES OF NANTUCKET SOUND, AN AREA THE SIZE OF MANHATTAN. IT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE A 20,000 SQUARE FOOT ELECTRICAL SERVICE PLATFORM HOLDING 40,000 GALLONS OF OIL ON HORSESHOE SHOAL IN THE CENTER OF NANTUCKET SOUND. THE ALLIANCE OPPOSES THE PLANNED WIND ENERGY PLANT IN NANTUCKET SOUND DUE TO ADVERSE ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND PUBLIC SAFETY IMPACTS, AS WELL AS THE ABSENCE OF AN INTEGRATED NATIONAL AND STATE OCEAN ZONING PROCESS FOR OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AT THE TIME CAPE WIND WAS PROPOSED. THE RESULTING DEVELOPER DRIVEN SITE POSES NUMEROUS ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE PUBLIC. THE GOAL OF THE ALLIANCE IS TO STOP THE PROPOSED WIND ENERGY PLANT FROM BEING CONSTRUCTED IN NANTUCKET SOUND AND TO PROTECT NANTUCKET SOUND IN PERPETUITY. CAPE WIND THREATS: THE ALLIANCE OBJECTS TO THE PROPOSED CAPE WIND PROJECT BECAUSE IT WOULD: -INCREASE ELECTRICITY COSTS FOR BUSINESSES, TOWNS AND HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS; -RESULT IN A HIGH NET COST TO THE PUBLIC DUE TO INCREASED ELECTRICITY RATES, SUBSIDIES, TAX CREDITS, AND LOAN GUARANTEES; -CAUSE JOB LOSSES DUE TO INCREASED ELECTRICITY COSTS FOR BUSINESSES IN MA; -NEGATIVELY AFFECT TOURISM AND RELATED JOBS, AND DECREASE PROPERTY VALUES; -POSE SIGNIFICANT NAVIGATIONAL HAZARDS FOR COMMERCIAL AND RECREATIONAL VESSELS; -POSE UNACCEPTABLE HAZARDS TO AVIATION SAFETY; -DESECRATE A NATIONAL TREASURE, SACRED TRIBAL LANDS, AND NUMEROUS HISTORIC PROPERTIES; -INTRODUCE SUBSTANTIAL VISUAL, NOISE, AND LIGHT POLLUTION; -VIOLATE THE PUBLIC TRUST THROUGH USE OF PUBLIC LAND FOR PRIVATE GAIN; -THREATEN THE ENVIRONMENT IN TERMS OF ENDANGERED AVIAN AND MARINE SPECIES; -INTRODUCE THE CHANCE OF AN OIL SPILL FROM THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE PLATFORM; AND -DEVASTATE COMMERCIAL FISHING IN NANTUCKET SOUND. NANTUCKET SOUND: NANTUCKET SOUND INCLUDES 163 SQUARE NAUTICAL MILES OF WATER AND SEABED BETWEEN CAPE COD, VINEYARD SOUND, AND THE ISLANDS OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD AND NANTUCKET EXTENDING SEAWARD BEYOND MONOMOY AND NANTUCKET ISLANDS. NANTUCKET SOUND POSSESSES SIGNIFICANT MARINE HABITAT FOR A DIVERSITY OF ECOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT SPECIES. THE SOUND HAS PARTICULAR SIGNIFICANCE FOR SEVERAL FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES OF WILDLIFE AND A VARIETY OF COMMERCIALLY AND RECREATIONALLY VALUABLE FISHERIES. THE SOUND IS SITUATED AT A CONFLUENCE OF THE COLD LABRADOR CURRENTS AND THE WARM GULF STREAM. THIS CREATES A UNIQUE COASTAL HABITAT REPRESENTING THE SOUTHERN RANGE FOR NORTHERN ATLANTIC SPECIES AND THE NORTHERN RANGE FOR MID-ATLANTIC SPECIES. NANTUCKET SOUND IS CHARACTERIZED BY AN EXTREME RICHNESS OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, CONTAINING HABITATS THAT RANGE FROM OPEN SEA TO SALT MARSHES. NANTUCKET SOUND IS MORE THAN A BODY OF WATER. IT IS A SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD FOR MANY LOCAL FISHERMEN, AN INSPIRATION FOR ARTISTS, AND A SOURCE OF SOLACE, RELAXATION, AND RECREATION FOR THE MILLIONS THAT FLOCK TO ITS SHORES. THE LOCAL FERRY OPERATORS ALONE TRANSPORT OVER THREE MILLION PASSENGERS PER YEAR THROUGH NANTUCKET SOUND, AND 400,000 FLIGHTS PER YEAR TRAVERSE THE AIRSPACE OVER THE SOUND. IT IS THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS, AND A NATURAL TREASURE THAT MUST BE PRESERVED AND PROTECTED. NANTUCKET SOUND HAS LONG BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR SANCTUARY DESIGNATION. PAST STUDIES SHOW IT POSSESSES THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT WOULD JUSTIFY SUCH A DESIGNATION. -IN 1971, NANTUCKET SOUND STATE WATERS (OUT TO 3 MILES) WERE DESIGNATED AS THE MASSACHUSETTS CAPE AND ISLAND OCEAN SANCTUARY UNDER MASSACHUSETTS LAW (MOSA). HOWEVER, FEDERAL WATERS, THE "HOLE IN THE DOUGHNUT" REMAINED UNPROTECTED. -IN 1980, THE COMMONWEALTH NOMINATED THE SOUND FOR DESIGNATION UNDER THE NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES ACT. -IN 1983, THE FEDERAL RESOURCE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, APPOINTED BY NOAA'S SANCTUARY PROGRAM, DETERMINED NANTUCKET SOUND WAS WORTHY OF DESIGNATION. THE SOUND WAS LISTED ON THE SITE EVALUATION LIST (SEL) IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER AS ONE OF 28 AREAS "FROM WHICH NOAA WILL SELECT SITES TO EVALUATE AS CANDIDATES FOR NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES." -IN JANUARY 2010, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE RECOGNIZED THE UNIQUE HISTORIC AND TRIBAL ATTRIBUTES OF NANTUCKET SOUND AND DETERMINED THAT THE SOUND WAS ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AS A TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS: OCEAN ZONING AND SANCTUARY STATUS: SINCE OUR INCEPTION IN 2002, THE ALLIANCE HAS BEEN CALLING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL OCEAN POLICY TO BALANCE THE PROTECTION OF COASTAL RESOURCES WITH COMPETING DEVELOPMENT INTERESTS. GIVEN THE EMERGENCE OF NEW USES FOR OUR WATERS, SUCH POLICY IS CRITICAL TO BOTH ENSURE THAT OUR WATERS ARE PROTECTED AND HELP EXPEDITE APPROPRIATELY SITED DEVELOPMENT. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE OCEAN ZONING EFFORTS UNDERWAY AT BOTH THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS. A COMPREHENSIVE POLICY WOULD AVOID PIECEMEAL DEVELOPMENT AND FRAGMENTED DECISION MAKING AND THE CONTROVERSY THAT HAS SURROUNDED CAPE WIND. THE POLICY SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN IDENTIFYING SITES THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND AREAS LIKE NANTUCKET SOUND THAT SHOULD BE PROTECTED. IDEALLY, ALL OF NANTUCKET SOUND STATE WATERS AND FEDERAL WATERS ALIKE - WOULD BE PROTECTED UNDER SOME FORM OF SANCTUARY STATUS. AVIATION SAFETY: THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED THE PROPOSED CAPE WIND PROJECT AS A "PRESUMED HAZARD" TO AIR SAFETY DUE TO RADAR INTERFERENCE TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS AND IMPACT ON LOW ALTITUDE FLIGHTS. AFTER TWO PREVIOUS DETERMINATIONS OF NO HAZARD, THE ALLIANCE, THE LOCAL AIRPORTS, PILOT ASSOCIATIONS, TOWNS, AND OTHERS SUCCESSFULLY RAISED A VARIETY OF SAFETY ISSUES INCLUDING RADAR INTERFERENCE TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL - ENCOURAGING THE FAA TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE EFFECTS OF THIS PROJECT. RADAR INTERFERENCE IS A PROBLEM NATIONWIDE AND INTERNATIONALLY; A NUMBER OF PROJECTS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE OF RADAR INTERFERENCE. THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION IN NANTUCKET SOUND IN THE DEAD CENTER OF THREE AIRPORTS MAKES IT A PARTICULARLY SERIOUS ISSUE. ULTIMATELY, SHORTLY AFTER THE RECORD OF DECISION WAS ISSUED IN APRIL OF 2010, THE FAA ISSUED CAPE WIND A FINAL DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD. IN OCTOBER OF 2010, THE ALLIANCE AND THE TOWN OF BARNSTABLE, WHICH OWNS AND OPERATES THE BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, EACH FILED LAWSUITS AGAINST THE FAA FOR ITS FINAL DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD. IN A MAJOR VICTORY, ON OCTOBER 28, 2011 THE US COURT OF APPEALS IN WASHINGTON DC REVOKED THE 2010 NO HAZARD DETERMINATION BY THE FAA AND DETERMINED THAT THE FAA FAILED TO CONSIDER THE VERY REAL DANGERS AND RISKS TO THE OPERATIONS AND SAFETY OF THE 400,000 FLIGHTS THAT TRANSIT NANTUCKET SOUND EACH YEAR. IN 2012, THE FAA ONCE AGAIN ISSUED ANOTHER NO HAZARD DETERMINATION WHICH WAS AGAIN APPEALED BY THE ALLIANCE AND THE TOWN OF BARNSTABLE. THIS LAWSUIT IS CURRENTLY PENDING. | DETAILED MISSION STATEMENT AND POSITION: |
| FORM 990,PART I, LINE 1 (CONTINUED): | TRIBAL AND HISTORIC IMPACTS: UNDER SECTION 106 OF THE NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT, THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR (DOI) IS LEGALLY REQUIRED TO CONSULT WITH THE LOCAL TRIBES, AS WELL AS THE MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION (MHC) AND OTHERS, TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS CAPE WIND WOULD POSE TO TRIBAL AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES. THE MASHPEE WAMPANOAG TRIBE ON CAPE COD AND THE WAMPANOAG TRIBE OF GAY HEAD/ AQUINNAH ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD BELIEVE THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD NOT ONLY DESECRATE SACRED LAND, BUT ALSO HARM THEIR TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL PRACTICES. IN THEIR VOCAL OPPOSITION TO CAPE WIND, THESE TRIBES HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES EASTERN TRIBES (USET), A GROUP OF 25 FEDERALLY-RECOGNIZED TRIBES. WAMPANOAG MEANS "PEOPLE OF THE FIRST LIGHT" AND AS SUCH, AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF THE SUN OVER NANTUCKET SOUND IS INTEGRAL TO THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND TRADITIONAL PRACTICES. THE TRIBES HAVE REPEATEDLY STATED THAT CAPE WINDS EFFECTS ON TRIBAL AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES WOULD BE PROFOUND AND CANNOT BE MITIGATED - EXCEPT BY RELOCATING THE PROJECT TO ANOTHER SITE. DOI ITSELF HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE ONLY EFFECTIVE MITIGATION TO THE IMPACTS ON TRIBAL CEREMONIAL AND RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IS RELOCATION. THE MHC, THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND OTHER HISTORIC GROUPS HAVE CONSISTENTLY EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT ON TRIBAL AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES DURING THE SECTION 106 PROCESS. IN DECEMBER 2009 THE MASSACHUSETTS STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER DETERMINED THAT NANTUCKET SOUND WAS ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AS A TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY. IN EARLY 2010, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE CONCURRED WITH THE MA HISTORIC COMMISSION AND DETERMINED THAT NANTUCKET SOUND WAS IN FACT ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. THE WAMPANOAG TRIBE OF GAYHEAD/AQUINNAH HAS A PENDING LAWSUIT CHALLENGING AGENCY APPROVALS OF CAPE WIND. THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS FILED AN AMICUS BRIEF IN THIS LAWSUIT FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT. ALTERNATIVES: THE ALLIANCE HAS CONSISTENTLY SUPPORTED OFFSHORE WIND PROJECTS IN APPROPRIATELY SITED LOCATIONS, ESPECIALLY IN DEEPER WATERS. SINCE CAPE WIND WAS FIRST PROPOSED IN 2001, NUMEROUS OTHER OFFSHORE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED, AND DOI LAUNCHED AN INITIATIVE TO LEASE LARGE AREAS FOR OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPMENT OFF THE COASTS OF MA, RI, AND OTHER STATES THROUGHOUT NEW ENGLAND AND THE MID-ATLANTIC. BETTER ALTERNATIVES TO CAPE WIND WOULD ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY WITHOUT SACRIFICING A NATIONAL TREASURE LIKE NANTUCKET SOUND. NUMEROUS STAKEHOLDERS HAVE SUPPORTED SOUTH OF TUCKERNUCK ISLAND AS AN ALTERNATIVE THAT WOULD POSE FEWER CONFLICTS AND WHICH WAS ALREADY EVALUATED BY INTERIOR AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CAPE WIND IN ITS REVIEW UNDER THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT. IN ADDITION, THE IDENTIFICATION OF LEASE BLOCK AREAS OUTSIDE OF NANTUCKET SOUND BY INTERIOR CLEARLY SHOWS THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATIVE SITES THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONES THAT WOULD POSE FEWER PUBLIC INTEREST CONFLICTS AS THE RESULT OF MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING. | DETAILED MISSION STATEMENT AND POSITION (CONTINUED): |
