(Thanks to Lalita Malik for sharing this important information) It was a glorious April day, perfect for hiking. The Mid Week Hikers planned to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail from Bulls Bridge to Rt. 341, in Kent. As I packed my back pack for the hike, I decided to switch to my smaller, summer pack. With less capacity, I had to remove some stuff from my pack. All winter I had carried my full first aid kit in my pack with emergency blanket, splint, triangular bandages etc. I decided I did not need all that equipment for the 7.5 mile hike, 15 miles from home. So, I removed most of my first aid kit and kept stuff required to treat scratches and bug bites, which is what we normally have on our hikes. I also ditched my tablet with the GPS and topographic maps I usually car- ried. We had a small group, Al Limone, Lenore Bruce, Nancy Vodrazka Pat Conroy, and Ramesh Naik. We took the largest car, Ramesh’s wagon, to the trail head (end) on Rt. 341 to use at the end of our hike and started our hike from Bull’s bridge. We started climbing up the hill to the viewpoint, then over to the NY Connecticut border. I was leading, Pat was sweeping. We stopped for lunch and continued hiking on the rolling ridge.

  • FINAL AVIAN RISK ASSESSMENT Project Icebreaker in Lake Erie
    FINAL AVIAN RISK ASSESSMENT Project Icebreaker in Lake Erie Cuyahoga County, Ohio Report Prepared for: Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (LEEDCo) October 2013 Report Prepared by: Paul Kerlinger, Ph.D., and John Guarnaccia Curry & Kerlinger, L.L.C. P.O. Box 453 Cape May Point, NJ 08212 (609) 884-2842, phone (609) 884-4569, fax [email protected] Project Icebreaker Executive Summary This report reexamines and updates potential risk to birds from the six-turbine Project Icebreaker, a demonstration wind-energy project proposed for the waters 11-16 kilometers (km) (7-10 miles) off of Cleveland, Ohio. Turbines would have an 87.5-meter (m) (287-foot) tubular steel tower on which a rotor of 120 m (394 feet) in diameter would be mounted. Rotors would sweep from a maximum height of 147.5 m (484 feet) to a minimum height of 27.5 m (90 feet) above the lake, making a rotor swept area of 11,310 m2. Each turbine would generate a nameplate capacity of 3.0 megawatts (MW). Lighting on turbines has not yet been determined, but this analysis is based on L-864, red-strobe obstruction lights mounted on nacelles, as generally required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for wind turbines. A docking platform would be constructed at the base of each turbine to allow maintenance crews to access the turbines. Potential avian risk from a demonstration wind farm in the waters off of Cleveland was considered previously in a document hereafter referred to as the 2008 risk assessment (Guarnaccia and Kerlinger 2008), which depended on research that had been conducted in Europe to date, where many of the same species as occurring in Lake Erie, or closely related species, were studied.
