At First Wind, we understand it takes more than just a steady breeze for a wind farm to be successful, which is why we take a rigorous scientific approach to exploring the role of a wind farm in each community. This multi-step process includes meteorological wind measurement, sound modeling, environmental studies, tower placement analysis, and more. Our goal at the Stetson Wind project is to provide permitting authorities with the in-depth information required to help ensure compliance with environmental standards and maximize the benefits to the local community.
Environmental studies ongoing or completed at Stetson:
- Visual Assessment (with photo simulations)
- Wildlife Habitat Assessment
- Bird and Bat Assessment
- Wetland/Stream Assessment
- Sound Assessment
- Historical & Archaeological Assessment
- Unusual Natural Area Assessment
- Phosphorous Impact Assessment
- Medium Intensity Soils Survey
- Microwave Beam Path Study
The project encompasses an area roughly between Rt. 169 and Tar Ridge Road.
