PROTECTION OF HEALTH AND SAFETY OF RESIDENTS AND WILDLIFE MATTERS! Trempealeau County WI has adoped a wind energy ordinance which requires that industrial wind turbines be sited at least one mile from homes,  half-mile from property lines and a two mile set back from wild life refuges. It also protects residents with strong noise restrictions. It was drafted by a citizen's advisory board that was appointed by the Trempealeau County Board Chair after six months of study and meetings. We thank and congratulate Trempealeau for adopting an ordinance which protects the health and safety of its residents and wildlife
