This Map Shows Our Highest Ground
Where will they put 67 turbines that are 400 feet tall each? (that's as tall as the big radio tower south of Evansville)
BPRC contacted EcoEnergy to ask for a map, and were told they had no map to distribute that would be reliable. We then asked if we could assume that the turbines would be sited on the high ground of Magnolia Township and were told that "as a general rule, wind turbines are sited on high, open areas, where there are few obstructions to block the wind."
This is a map of where the high grounds are located in our community. There are documented problems from wind turbine noise and shadow flicker for homes located within 1.5 miles of a turbine. Where will they all go? How close will they be to your home?
These maps were made by overlaying the 2005 Rock County Platbook map with the Rock County Elevation map obtained from the Rock County Department of Planning and Development. The blue and pink areas indicate highgrounds which is where industrial wind turbines are normally sited.
