Mass DEP ConfirmsTurbines Statewide Breaking Noise Laws- News Media Guilty

Mainsteam media guilty of following “Agenda “ lacked truth and professional investigative journalism

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has confirmed yesterday in a final report on the acoustical monitoring study of a Kingston wind turbine it broke state noise laws.The report has been released to the public after review.

The controversy over noise from commercial megawatt wind turbines is not new to wind turbine victims all over Massachusetts. The latest review by the Mass DEP confirms the state has major issues over the poor placement of commercial wind turbines in residential neighborhoods all over Massachusetts

For years state and local politicians have said the people who live around commercial megawatt wind turbines are suffering some kind of mass hysteria about noise from the wind turbines.

The news media in Massachusetts has gone along with the commercial wind agenda by calling wind turbine victims at local meetings loud, obnoxious and out of control citizens who just don’t like the look of the wind turbines.

During the Governor Deval Patrick administration the news media on a weekly basis took press releases about wind turbines and translated them into Sunday news stories. The mainstream media avoided investigative journalism and the general safety of the public.

The recent confirmation of yet another commercial wind turbine breaking the Department’s noise regulation (310 CMR 7.10) confirms state, local and news media sources continued an agenda full of lies and hidden documents

The Massachusetts Wind Turbine Noise Study 2012 convened by former Governor Deval Patrick and a group of wind turbine advocates need criminal and civil review. A governor who used the fake email name “Sally Reynolds “ in talks with wind turbine contractors.

How many more “studies” do wind turbine victims have to endure before the news media and out politicians stop the torture

Here is the latest Kingston noise report confirmed yesterday Sept 11, 2015 by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.


“MassDEP is providing this interim report to give you timely information from the two nights where the quality-assured data reveals exceedences of MassDEP’s noise threshold of 10 dBA over background.”

July 8, 2014 Kingston Board of Health

ATTN: Mr. Joseph Casna, Chair Kingston Town House 26 Evergreen Street Kingston, MA 02364

RE: Interim Report for Kingston Wind Independence Turbine Acoustical Study (Dated June 13, 2014)

Dear Chairperson Casna; Enclosed please find an Interim Report for the Kingston Wind Independence Turbine Acoustical Study (dated June 13, 2014).

This interim report provides partial results of an acoustical monitoring study of the Kingston Wind Independence (KWI) wind turbine in operation at the wastewater treatment facility located on Cranberry Road in Kingston, Massachusetts. As you know, this Acoustical Study was conducted in response to requests from KWI and the Kingston Board of Health to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to assist with sound sampling.

The Acoustical Study has been performed by the consulting firm of Harris, Miller, Miller and Hanson Inc. (HMMH) under contract to MassCEC. MassDEP and MassCEC requested HMMH to prepare this interim report to make available data from successful monitoring events from October 2013 through April 2014.

As you know, the full study has taken longer to complete than anticipated due to persistent weather challenges, turbine operational issues, and problems with background noise contamination. Now that the winter sampling season has ended, the time identified in the scope as appropriate for monitoring worst case scenario sound impacts has also ended.

Therefore, HMMH has analyzed results that we believe should be shared and discussed in a timely fashion with the Town and other parties.

This interim report presents results for the two monitoring sites closest to the KWI turbine, and from the two successful sampling nights during which there were moderate to high wind speeds. These locations and wind conditions represent two of the seven monitoring scenarios included in HMMH’s scope of work1 . A final, full report for this study, which will include all of the validated sound data successfully collected, will be available after HMMH completes data validation and then MassDEP and MassCEC subsequently complete review.

MassDEP is providing this interim report to give you timely information from the two nights where the quality-assured data reveals exceedences of MassDEP’s noise threshold of 10 dBA over background. The monitoring data shows exceedences on March 2, 2014 (Scenario #2) and March 15, 2014 (Scenario #3), both at the 13 Schofield Road monitoring location. The exceedences occurred with winds from the South and Southwest at moderate and high speeds of 8 to 10.3 meters/second at hub height. On March 2, 2014, the data collected indicates that there was a 15 dBA difference between the L90 Background and the LMax sound from the KWI wind turbine. On March 15, 2014, the data collected indicates that there was a 13.7 dBA difference between the L90 background and the LMax sound from the KWI wind turbine.
