New Black Oak/Getty wind project maps
February 18th, 2016
More interesting filings today, these from the Black Oak Getty wind project, the construction plans, and a new noise report. There are also “Environmental Supplements” and other new filings. You can find them all at the PUC’s site — go to SEARCH and search for eDockets 10-1240 or 11-831.
Here are the filings of the Construction Plans:
I’ve separated out the noise report to make it easier to send around:
And for reference, here are the Minnesota Noise Rules, found in Minn. R. Ch. 7030 — we’re long overdue for a rulemaking for Noise Rules specifically regulating wind noise:

Complaint filed re: AWA Goodhue
December 22nd, 2011
AWA Goodhue has been doing an “avian study” and flying way lower than they should, scaring horses and cows and people too. Many people in the AWA Goodhue Wind Project in Goodhue made complaints to the sheriff, to the Dept. of Commerce per their complaint protocol, and to the FAA. Everyone’s investigating except the Dept. of Commerce, and as the permit granter, the one with the “complaint procedure,” they better get to it.
Yesterday I filed this by emailing it to the Commerce complaint email address, and to Bill Grant, Deputy Commissioner, and to Burl Harr, Executive Secretary of the PUC:
Oh, and filed it on the Public Utilities Commission’s eDockets too, Docket 08-1233. Ignoring this will not make it go away, it will make matters worse.
Here that, T. Boone Pickens?
