Presentation transcript:

1 MassDEP Wind Turbine Noise Technical Advisory Group

2 “WNTAG” Established as part of EEA’s inter- agency initiative for state energy and environmental agencies to provide support and guidance to municipalities, developers and stakeholders for land- based wind projects.

3 “WNTAG” Process will likely result in recommended changes to MassDEP noise regulations and/or policies, as they apply to wind turbine noise.

4 “WNTAG” Noise Standard: How the existing noise policy and regulations are applied to wind turbines. Permitting: MassDEP is considering pre- construction permitting requirements for wind turbines Compliance Monitoring: MassDEP has received comments on technical issues such as meter specifications and settings, data analysis conventions, and sampling duration and intervals.

5 “WNTAG” These issues will be considered by the WNTAG. Members represent a range of experience and viewpoints with wind turbine and noise issues. Any proposed changes to the regulations or policy by MassDEP will be subject to public review and comment.
