These are preliminary layouts since the development is in its early stages and during its course turbine locations might change due to environmental concerns, topographical issues, land control issues and wind data that is being collected at the moment. The two projects are: 1) West Jeddore: located in Halifax Regional Municipality in the Eastern Shore 2) Wedgeport: located in Argyle Municipality, Yarmouth County It is important to us to have this early consultation with you to avoid any further investment before we established if these sites might have any impact to DND. Please advise me if any other information is required. I would like to request to keep this information confidential to the extent possible.

    Wedgeport Wind Farm Environmental Assessment Registration

    Environmental Assessment Wedgeport Wind Farm 121510794 prepared for ANAIAGLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGIES June 2012 WEDGEPORT WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REGISTRATION Executive Summary Introduction AnaiaGlobal Renewable Energies (Anaia), a joint venture between Membertou Corporate Division and GrupoGuascor - Dresser Rand, is proposing to construct and operate a wind energy facility to be located in the district of Argyle, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia (the Wedgeport Wind Farm Project; the Project). As is standard practice in the renewable energy industry a Special Purpose Company (SPC) was created to be the sole proponent and owner of this Project; the SPC in this case is named 3250777 Nova Scotia Limited. All permits, agreements and approvals will therefore be given to the SPC. The Wedgeport Wind Farm Project will include up to 25 turbines with a nameplate capacity of approximately 50 MW and will include an approximate 16 km long 138 kV transmission line to connect to the Tusket River Generating Station in Tusket, Nova Scotia. This Project has been proposed in response to the Request for Proposals for 300 gigawatt hours (GWh) of Renewable Energy from Independent Power Producers issued by Nova Scotia Renewable Electricity Administrator. This Project would be a key part of the Nova Scotia Government's plan to integrate renewable assets into its energy mix and will assist the Province to meet its 2015 renewable energy targets should a power purchase agreement (PPA) be awarded. Pursuant to the Nova Scotia Environment Act, environmental registration with Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) is required for an electric generating facility which has a production rating of 2 MW or more derived from wind energy.This environmental assessment (EA) satisfies the requirements outlined for provincial environmental registration as a Class I Undertaking and was prepared following guidance from “The Proponent‟s Guide to Wind Power Projects: Guide to Preparing an Environmental Assessment Registration Document” (NSE 2007, updated 2012).

  • Outer Baldonia and Performances of Micronationality

    MacKinnon – Outer Baldonia and Micronationality “GIVE ME FISH, NOT FEDERALISM” Outer Baldonia and Performances of Micronationality LACHLAN MACKINNON Concordia University <[email protected]> Abstract: In 1949 Russell Arundel, an American businessman and sport tuna fisherman, asserted the sovereignty of a small island off the south coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Arundel drafted a Declaration of Independence for the ‘Principality of Outer Baldonia’ and declared the nascent micronation to be a space of recreation, relaxation and tuna- fishing. International newspapers began to cover the story, and a critical letter in the Soviet Liternaya Gazeta prompted a flurry of tongue-in-cheek responses from Baldonian ‘citizens’. Although ownership of the island was transferred to the Nova Scotia Bird Society in 1973, the history of Outer Baldonia reveals a great deal about the types of social performances that correspond with declarations of micronational sovereignty. This article explores how the events surrounding the creation of Outer Baldonia reflect mid-20th Century elite attitudes towards nature and wilderness, as well as non-state diplomacy in the Cold War era. Keywords: Atlantic Canada, Outer Baldonia, micronation, performance, environment, diplomacy Introduction In a recent special theme issue of Shima (v8 n1) Philip Hayward defined micronations as “territories that have been declared independent by individuals or groups despite the minimal likelihood of their being recognised as independent by any established nation state or international body” (2014: 1). The majority of modern micronations emerged after the 1960s and 1970s; one well-cited case is that of The Principality of Sealand, a micronation that was declared off the coast of the UK in 1967 as an outgrowth of the Pirate Radio movement (Johns, 2011: 251; Unattributed, 2012: online).
