THE TALLEST TURBINES IN THE US AND 302 HOMES WITHIN 1.25 MILES OF THEM

This is crazy.....
How can Black Rock Wind Farm justify building 29 of the tallest turbines in the US near so many homes?
There will be 302 homes within 1.25 miles of the wind farm.

The Pinnacle Wind Farm has 60 homes within 1 mile.
The New Creek Wind Farm has 49 homes within 1 mile.

BRWF will have 6 times the number of nearby residences as New Creek.


BRWF makes comparisons to Pinnacle and New Creek in their application.  The number of nearby homes should be compared also!

The green circles are the turbines. The pink dots are the homes.  Many homes will be surrounded by the tallest turbines in the US, because they are building two sets of 3 turbines each to the west of the string of 23.

BLACK ROCK TURBINES MORE THAN 200 FEET TALLER THAN PINNACLE TURBINES

At more than 600 feet tall,  the Black Rock Wind Farm turbines will be ~200 feet taller than the Pinnacle turbines.
They will be taller than the Washington Monument.
The rotor area will be about 3 times larger than nearby turbines.
Turbines this size are usually built more than 5 miles offshore so that the rich coastal residents won't complain. 
The Black Rock turbines will be built among 302 homes.  302 homes will be within 1.25 miles of a Black Rock turbine.

Look at all the homes around the proposed turbines.

The pink dots are are all the homes around the proposed Black Rock Wind Farm turbines.  The contour lines show the estimated construction noise.  Look at all these homes!  302 homes within 1.25 miles of a turbine.  How many people will be affected by this noise?  The construction will take place even late into the night.  How is this noise going to affect these homeowners?

There will be thousands of trucks bringing in crane parts, turbine parts, cement and other construction materials.  This noise and traffic will be unbearable for these homeowners.  BRWF claims that "construction...will generate sounds that are familiar to residents due to other construction, industrial and agricultural activities in the area. The overall noise impact on nearby sensitive receptors during construction of the Project is not expected to be significant." (Appendix U - 008) They claim that the construction noise will be familiar to residents.  We are country folk, living in the mountains and they claim that we hear construction and industrial noises daily.  The only noises I hear are birds and bugs.
