Falmouth 4th of July NO Wind Turbines

June 17, 2017 Massachusetts courts shut down nuisance 110-decibel wind turbines

The standard, court wrote, “is what ordinary people, acting reasonably, have a right to demand in the way of health and comfort under all the circumstances.”

Section 1605 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) included a “buy America” provision which should have disqualified Danish-made Vestas turbines. Falmouth and MTC were able to obtain a waiver from the provision after GE, the only American turbine manufacturer, refused to site turbines so close to occupied structures, roads, property lines, and public access areas.

RE: Falmouth WWTF Wind Energy Facility II "Wind II", Falmouth, MA
Contract No. #3297
Dear ,
The Town has previously been provided with the Octave Band Data / Sound performance for the V82 turbine. This shows that the turbine normally operates at 103.2dB but the manufacturer has also stated that it may produce up to 110dB under certain circumstances.

Note # Falmouth, MA - Town created "a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety related to the implementation or use of covered ARRA funds" .

In October of 2018 the Falmouth Select Board is attempting to move Falmouth Wind II and to reuse ARRA, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds that should never have been allocated for a 110-decibel wind turbine on town property.

The (5) five million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funds can not be used if they endanger public health & safety.
