State officials will hold a public hearing Wednesday on Cape Wind's application for a chapter 91 license to construct and maintain two electric cable systems that would span 7.5 miles beneath Nantucket Sound and connect the 130-turbine wind farm on Horseshoe Shoals with mainland facilities in Yarmouth's Lewis Bay. The wind turbines will be located in federal waters and the cable system, which will be buried in trenches six feet deep and wide, represents the only portion of the project within the state's jurisdiction under Chapter 91. The Department of Environmental Protection hosts the hearing. Advancing the project was among Gov. Deval Patrick’s campaign promises.
(Wednesday, 6:30 pm, Mattacheese Middle School, 400 Higgins Crowell Road, West Yarmouth)
