This data set is the spatial documentation of the Newport Ocean Power Technology (OPT) preliminary permit application. The Project is to be sited in the Pacific Ocean in Lincoln County, Oregon, south of the town of Newport and north of Waldport. The site is situated in the open ocean about from 3 to 6 miles from shore in water depths that range from 20 to 35 fathoms (36 - 60 m). The approximate dimensions of the proposed site are 3.5 mile wide (east-west direction) by 5 miles long (in the north-south direction). It is anticipated that the power transmission cable will be connected to approximately the central portion of the array and will follow an easterly course to an existing distribution line onshore operated by Cental Lincoln Public Utility District.
