Why consultation isn't required
This notice informs you of the amendment to the renewable energy approval and your right to require a hearing in respect of this decision.
We consider this a minor amendment and do not expect it to have any significant impact on the environment. Therefore, public consultation is not required.
Bulletin details
We amended renewable energy approval number 0871-AV3TFM for the following changes:
- the addition of a collection route within the currently permitted area of the temporary access road between Concession Road 10-11 and Concession Road 11-12 in the Township of North Stormont
- the addition of another access road to the central laydown yard
- the addition of another construction disturbance area at turbine 58 (T58) to increase the laydown and turnaround area around the turbine location
- confirmation that no blasting will be implemented during project construction
- confirmation that no H piles (i.e., steel piles having an h-shaped cross section) or pile driving will be employed for foundations installation
- inclusion of additional mitigation measures related to blade icing during operation
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport confirmed that their previous comments remain the same.
This Class 4 wind facility, known as the Nation Rise Wind Farm, is located within an area generally bounded by the Municipality of The Nation and Township of Russell to the north, Courville Road and MacMillan Road to the east, Township of South Stormont to the south, and the Township of North Dundas to the west, in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.
