Falmouth Wind Turbine II Move - Where Are The Experts ?

On October 15, 2018, the Town of Falmouth received a report given at a public meeting from an engineering consulting firm to move Falmouth Wind II to a new location. The report failed to include a third private owned Vestas wind turbine located nearby the exact make and model as the two town-owned wind turbines.

The public noise assessment was given by a "Geologist" leaving many in the audience to wonder where are the Acoustic Experts?

Why are qualified acoustic experts from the Institute of Noise Control Engineering not protecting their profession from less qualified individuals? INCE-USA is a professional organization whose primary purpose is to promote community noise control sufficient to protect public health, safety and well being.

The Study to relocate Falmouth Wind 2 excluded noise contributions from an identical privately owned wind turbine (Notus).

A Barnstable Superior Court judge determined that Wind 2 was a nuisance >40 dBA, supported by independent expert testimony (108 dBA wind turbine requires a setback of 2,228 feet from the residential property). The Falmouth wind turbines (Vestas V82 warning letter) generate 110 decibels, 2 decibels louder, which requires greater distance.

Recently the Board of Health in Bourne, Massachusetts determined FGW turbines in Plymouth are a nuisance. Neighbors of wind turbines have prevailed again, without support from INCE members. Neighbors are better acoustic analyzers than any acoustic instrument left unattended by wind turbine noise experts.
