Operational curtailment is absolutely necessary to mitigate the impact wind turbines have on bats and I am very glad to see this proposed amendment. However, Whitby et al. Lire davantage

Do not extend. MECP's work is not to continuously figure out ways to get out of the way. Their work is vital for public health and safety, and the environment, without any of which it would be hard to enjoy life in Ontario. Lire davantage

The default should not be the conditional exemption for all newly listed/protected species from full protections, but instead the exception. Please revise accordingly. Lire davantage

Reading the lists of threatened species brings home the very reminders of the mess we are making of this province as well as this planet. Is the article about the danger to the bats due only to the financial benefit they provide or is the humane factor included? Lire davantage

Please protect the bats from the wind turbines. Please consider building the turbines in a way that doesn’t harm the bats, nor bother them with noise. It should not matter how rare an animal is to protect them, the animals should be protected for their own sake.

I commend the efforts to impose operational mitigation on all wind power facilities, new and existing, for the protection of bats in general (most prominently the Hoary Bat, Silver-haired Bat and Eastern Red Bat). Lire davantage

I am a bat biologist from western Canada. I am encouraged to see the inclusion of mitigation to reduce bat mortalities, however, it looks like monitoring is not required for the common approach. How will you know if it is effective and whether additional mitigation is needed without monitoring? Lire davantage

Changing cut in speeds is absolutely necessary to reduce the impacts to bats. However, more studies are needed to test changes in turbine cut-in speed among different sizes and types of turbines, wind regimes and habitat conditions before custom approaches can be assessed. Lire davantage

Downgrading a Species at Risk to a Species of Special Concern raises questions on the: - objectivity of the reassessment methodology used by the committee on the Status of Species at Risk. - whether such mitigation changes prioritize the interests of business over the protection of at risk Lire davantage

We are in a biodiversity crisis. Humanity depends on the web of life to support our existence. Continual chipping away at the habitat of other species leads to their decline - think of it as a housing crisis for other species. Lire davantage

The proposed curtailment options aimed to minimize bat mortality are a great start. With the changing conservation concern about our migratory bats, it is important to take steps to minimize impacts. Lire davantage

With a few exceptions (please see below), I applaud the general approach of the proposed amendment to the existing conditional exemption for the operation of wind facilities (section 23.20 of O. Reg. 242/08). Lire davantage

Bat-curtailment practices are nuanced and rely on precise and clear language to achieve intended outcomes. Therefore, we suggest that guidance more clearly reference industry standard language on curtailment, cut-in speeds, and minimization techniques. This includes: Lire davantage
