Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
After construction, was the waterfront restored to its previous pristine condition?
The company committed to restoration activities as outlined in the REA Decommissioning Plan. After construction,
all project components were removed, and the areas were remediated according to permit conditions.
The safety of the community is a very high priority. Was a comprehensive risk analysis been conducted? Where can the Emergency Response Plan be found?
Safety is taken very seriously by the team and company, not just for workers on the site, but also for the public. As part of our Operations Plan, which was posted on the Township website, the Emergency Response and Communications Plan can be found in section 4.3 under Public Safety Plan. The project adheres to regulations in place (road and marine regulations) that are also designed to ensure public safety.
Do the turbines produce light flicker?
All wind turbines produce shadow flicker, but it is our goal to minimize these effects as much as possible. All provincially and federally regulated guidelines were observed and abided by in the design work for the Amherst Island Wind Farm. As a result, shadow flicker does not exceed the regulated or suggested limits.
