--- Permits Required ---

With any large-scale project such as building a wind turbine or wind farm, there are many concerns that must be dealt with. Public health and safety is normally the first issue to be addressed. Needless to say, there are many rules and regulations that need to be adhered to. Each area is different in their proceedings and laws, so it is difficult to give a completed list of all the regulations pertaining to wind turbines.  The St. Lawrence Wind Farm is serving as the main example for this blog. Below, a link is provided to the final environmental impact statement for the St. Lawrence Wind Farm, which was taken off of their website. The second link in the introduction is a list of all permits and approvals they were required to have. This is meant to serve as an example of the types of local, state, and federal permits and approvals that are needed before a wind power project can be approved, but by no means includes everything.
