  • 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.

  • September 6, 2013 Dear New England
    September 6, 2013 Dear New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers: As you gather for your invitation-only, 37th Annual Conference in La Malbaie this weekend, we, the undersigned groups, individuals and victims, appeal to you to take clear, compelling, and compassionate steps to solve the problems you have created by supporting the deployment of “big wind” in our region. These generation projects create serious, often intractable problems. Those of us who have been forced to live near utility-scale wind projects you have promoted, and the individuals and groups we are working with, have learned through direct experience the consequences of these projects which include: Stressing grid interconnections and transmission lines New England’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) obligations for 2010 were about 14% of demand – an amount satisfied through a combination of existing, qualified resources in New England and renewable energy imported from neighboring New York and Canada. These percentages are slated to reach over 20% by 2020 with most of the energy coming from projects not yet built. Since wind energy is the primary resource proposed to be built in the region, and the resource most favored by you, future RPS obligations will likely be met through the deployment of thousands of new turbines. The ISO-NE's New England Wind Integration Study (NEWIS), published in December 2010 made clear that many favorable sites for wind development are remote from New England's load centers and that development of these distant sites would require significant transmission development. According to NEWIS, developing 20% wind in New England would require 4,095 miles of new lines at an estimated cost of between $11 and $15 billion.
