Department of Public Health for further action. This is not intended to be a forum for accepting additional public testimony on wind turbines or receiving public comment on the discussion conducted this evening:

Gail Harkness offered a revised summary of the data:

• A total of 58 written responses were received. An explanation of the discrepancy from the initial summary is that a few of the written responses were discovered to be duplicates.

• One of the responses did not meet the criteria for submission; so the working total was determined to be 57.• This figure represented 63 people as some respondents spoke for family members.

• 47 people reported health effects from the turbines. 41, or about 85% reported sleep disturbance, 25 reported stress, 21 reported mental health problems, 2 reported suicide attempt or ideation.

• Not included are those with known health issues. A physician verified the attempted suicide.

• All the data are contained in a spread sheet.The Board of Health had the following comments:• Some respondents are on the cusp or just outside the ½ mile radius from the turbine.

• The MassDEP's study results indicate that sleep disturbance is a problem for those living near turbines.• Falmouth's turbines may be unique because of their configuration, geography, or unknown factors.A letter to the MassDEP drafted by George Heufelder was read and edited.

Some of the main points are listed below:

• The Board of Health has received 2 years of consistent and persistent complaints about the negative health effects of the wind turbines.

• The Board of Health requests that the MassDEP conduct a health assessment of this situation.

• The Board of Health understands that this is an atypical health assessment.

• Due to the increasing intensity of complaints, the Board of Health is considering emergency action. It requests guidance from the state on this matter.

• The letter, data and map will be sent to Suzanne Condon, associate commissioner of the MassDEP with a request for a meeting at the earliest possible time to be arranged through David Carignan

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
