Role of Local Government Statute: Local government certification of compliance with local land use ordinances = statutory prerequisite for DEQ’s PBR permit. Regulations: DEQ’s PBR regulations require this certification for wind projects >500 kW to 100 MW

Questions from Local Governments ? ? ? Setbacks? Low frequency noise? Shadow flicker? Decommissioning? Height? Sureties? Audible noise?

In response to these questions... DEQ Director appointed informal stakeholder group in February 2011 To work under Director’s aegis with facilitation by DEQ staff As requested by Secretary of Natural Resources And supported by Governor’s Chief Energy Advisor Local Government Outreach Group (LOG) began meeting in March 2011
