CITIZEN POWER ALLIANCE

Great news for residents in the Townships of Clayton (lead agent) & Orleans proposed Horse Creek Wind Farm. PPM Energy (Iberdola) submitted a letter to the Town of Clayton Planning that they are suspending their application for the Horse Creek Wind Farm temporarily. The recommendation by the NYS DEC is that further studies on the endangered species of brown (Indiana) bats needs to be performed before any further commencement of the project is to continue. We have been told that these studies can take longer than 2 years to complete.

ECCO appreciates all the efforts and hard work by the residents here in their writing campaigns to all our State Officials regarding our environment and our wildlife. Thank you. This is great news for us. We still have work to do in getting the local law amended on the Noise impacts, which is a Town issue, but I believe that action will finally take place to amend this local law.

This is great news for all of us residents in Northern Jefferson County. TV 7 was at the planning board meeting tonight and I am sure WDT will have an article tomorrow.
