Falmouth Wind Turbine Federal Investigation Warranted

Town of Falmouth owes 3.5 million at 2 percent on Falmouth Wind II its second town owned foreign made wind turbine installed with NO permit 240-166.

1, The Town of Falmouth created a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety related to the implementation or use of covered ARRA funds. These funds are connected to the federal government:

Prior to and during the application process for a waiver to buy a foreign-made wind turbine under the ARRA regulations the town had been warned the turbines generate 110 decibels of noise and General Electric a domestic wind turbine company refused to build a single wind turbine due to safety of ice throw and residential setbacks.

2, A violation of law, rule, or regulation related to an agency contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant, awarded or issued relating to covered funds. The Secret Service is responsible for investigating the contract between the federal EPA and the State of Massachusetts corruption in the State Revolving Funds.

The federal EPA and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection worked to provide specific ARRA funds for the Falmouth Wastewater Treatment Plant installation of its second wind turbine called Wind II. A five million loan was given as a project regulatory agreement between the Town of Falmouth and the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust.

The loan agreement calls for the wind turbine to be energy efficient or the remainder is paid back at 2 percent interest. The courts shut down both foreign-made wind turbines in June of 2017.

They will never operate again at the Falmouth Wastewater Treatment Plant.

There is plenty of evidence a crime of omitting documents which include letters, memos, emails and a study 5 years prior to construction of any wind turbines the noise would affect a minimum of 99 residential homes.

The ARRA Wind II loan was granted despite the Town of Falmouth hiding noise warnings prior to construction the turbines each generates 110 decibels of noise. On a decibel scale, 110 decibels is a rock band playing 24/7.

The United States government is violating human rights in the name of Global Warming and Climate Change. The United States is now allowing the Town of Falmouth to move a 5 million ARRA fund with the turbines.

A loan that should never have been made. The town has owed 3.5 million at 2 percent interest since June of 2017.

This all started in Falmouth, Massachusetts when the US Environmental Protection Agency through an application process by April 19, 2010, had granted a waiver of the "Buy America" requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts for the purchase of the second town-owned foreign-manufactured Vestas V-82 wind turbine to be installed at its existing wastewater treatment facility site.

General Electric refused because of residential setbacks. GE read the 2005 KEMA INC report for the Town of Falmouth that said a GE wind would affect up to 99 residential homes!
ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(2)requires the funds do not create a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety and manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of satisfactory quality.

Legal counsel has advised the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection that Wind II is subject to specific provisions of ARRA and applicable federal regulations and guidelines ("Federal Law') in addition to the terms and conditions of the Project Regulatory Agreement ("PRA") and the Loan Agreement associated with the funding of Wind II.

Under Federal Law and the PRA and Loan Agreement, the Town must maintain Wind II as an "energy efficiency" project, as described in EPA guidelines dated March 2, 2009, in order to benefit from the financial subsidy provided by the Trust under ARRA and the Trust's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.

To date, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has never interviewed one wind turbine victim or any neighbor of any wind turbine in twenty-one communities with megawatt wind turbines.

MassDPH and every Massachusetts politician knows the wind turbines make people sick and a poor immune system can lead to cancer.

This is a health disaster.

Falmouth still owes 3.5 million plus 2 percent interest back to the Massachusetts state revolving funds.
