Project Spotlights

As many people in the offshore wind industry are aware, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) released a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Vineyard Wind Project in June 2020. BOEM determined that the SEIS was necessary, primarily to analyze an expanded cumulative activities scenario not considered in the Vineyard Wind Draft EIS released in December 2018.

For nearly 20 years, SWCA assisted Pinal County in Arizona with the Kelvin Bridge Replacement Project. In the late 1990s, the county began seeking funding to replace the historic Kelvin Bridge. Located in a rural Sonoran Desert area between State Route 79 in Florence and State Route 177 in Kearny, the Kelvin Bridge crosses the Gila River, one of Arizona’s few perennial rivers, and provides a convenient route between eastern and western portions of Pinal County along the 32-mile Florence-Kelvin Highway.

The Mission San Gabriel was founded, in what is today San Gabriel, CA, by Franciscan priests at the end of the 18th century as part of Spanish colonization of Alta California. The Mission is very important in the history of California and to native peoples as well.
