Default RE: windmills

The big problem they are concerned about is water run off from what I gather; there are 3 trout streams in the area as well as swamps. Out towns drinking water is supplied from wells on that mountain the water run off from the pad area and roads they say will pollute the streams with silt. I was told that the hunting safety zone is ½ mile in all directions. I don’t know if the concerns voiced are legitimate or just a land owner who is afraid of land value deprecation. It’s rumored that the founder of the group wanted more than the 5,000 per windmill (20,000 for 4 on his land) and when he did not get it he was hell bent on stopping it. His land would be worthless who would want land so close to such an eye sore. But like I said I don’t know it to be fact it’s just what some folks have said
