Development and Application of Guidelines for Siting, Constructing, Operating and Monitoring Wind Turbines.

DE2005837481

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Manville, A. M.
Page Count	16
Abstract	This session at the Wind Energy and Birds/Bats workshop consisted of twopresentations followed by a discussion/question and answer period. The two papers were: 'Development and Application of USFWS Guidance for SiteEvaluation, Siting, Construction, Operation and Monitoring of Wind Turbines' by Albert Manville and 'Wind Power in Washington State' by Greg Hueckel. The session provided a comparison of wind project guidelines developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in May 2003 and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife in August 2003. Questions addressed included: is there a need or desire foruniform national or state criteria; can other states learn from Washington State's example, or from the USFWS voluntary guidelines; should there be uniform requirements/ guidelines/check-lists for the siting, operation, monitoring, and mitigation to prevent or minimize avian, bat, and other wildlife impacts.
