Dear Neighbor,                                                                                             Appril 2012

I am writing to you because you own property in Dixfield with-in 2 miles+- of a proposed GRID scale WIND project.

The town of Dixfield is holding a public hearing May 9, 2012  at 6 pm at Dirigo High School on the language of a proposed WIND ordinance written by selectmen Norine Clark and Steven Donahue.

Even if you cannot attend I would love to hear any thoughts you have on the impact of 500 foot WIND turbines 2 miles+- from your property.

I will bring presentaions to this PUBLIC HEARING about ;

1.  set backs

2.  sound   ;  sound modelings are proving to be wrong.

3.  decommissioning ;

can ammendments happen at Public Hearing?   ah , the surveys!!!   send a comment to Dixfield TM or me  or Hart Daley.  Submit something to these people... It is a PUBLIC HEARING on a WIND ordinance..

To Whom It May Concern,

??

Please support the following change recommended in Maine Office of Energy Independence and Securities. Wind Tangible Benefits and Noise Regulation Report i April 2011

It is the low frequency sounds from wind turbines, that often cannot even be measured, that has
generated concern from those opposing wind projects. 1

It is also clear that certain types of noise, namely. amplitude modulation and perhaps others, are not adequately considered in international noise standards, sound level computer modeling or the state’s current noise regulations.
These deficiencies should be addressed by tweaking the state’s noise regulations to
compensate for these considerations. 2

??

??

I attach 3 sound modeling maps from Patriot Renewables DEP applications. 3

1. Saddleback Ridge Wind, Carthage, Maine

2. Canton Mountain Wind, Canton, Maine

3. Spruce Mountain Wind, Woodstock Maine

The noise trend is 40-45 dBA at one mile from turbine centers.

While existing sound levels are below 20 dBA. 3

And Wilderness Ambience is considered 35 dBA. 4

I personally know 24# receptors against the Saddleback Ridge Project that will hear and see these turbines and have NO RECOURSE. 5

We hope to establish an amended ordinance using the template offered by Clark and Donahue. Anyone who can attend and help us address sound limits, we should be able to create amendments during this public hearing.

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/
