Comment on Fairview Wind Project

On Wednesday, December 4, the Ministry of the Environment deemed wpd’s project application for Clearview “complete.”

This means that the wind energy company has submitted the required forms and applications to the Ministry, and a full technical review of the application has begun, said Kevin Surette, a spokesperson for wpd.

The Fairview Wind Project, which consists of eight turbines west of Stayner (see map, below), will produce an estimated 39,838,000 kWh annually for the local electricity grid, which is equivalent to the average annual power use of 2,276 homes, wpd’s website says.

This application was posted on the Ministry of the Environment’s Environmental Registry website on Tuesday, December 3 for a 60-day public review and comment period.

If you have any questions, or if you would like to submit comments, send them to: Kristina Rudzki, Senior Project Evaluator, Ministry of the Environment, Operations Division, Environmental Approvals Branch, 2 St. Clair Avenue W, floor 12A, Toronto, Ontario M4V 1L5. Or, you can call 1-800-461-6290 (toll-free).

The Ministry must receive comments by Saturday, February 1.
