MassDEP Caused Wind Turbine Catastrophic Health Fiasco

The Town of Falmouth through the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection using state SRF, State Revolving Funds, entered into a "Project Regulatory Agreement" power production agreement over the wind turbines causing catastrophic health problems.

The PRA, "Project Regulatory Agreement" conflicts with the MassDEP own state noise guidelines. The "Project Regulatory Agreement" conflicts with the Massachusetts Air Pollution Control regulations and policy relating to noise.

The PRA a power production agreement is the reason the MassDEP failed to enforce noise regulations in Falmouth and then statewide at least twenty-one other communities. The PRA was part of a political agenda to achieve 2000 megawatts of land-based wind turbine power by the year 2020.

The state of Massachusetts set out to achieve the land-based wind turbine agenda as a real war on fossil fuels that required taking the health and property rights of thousands of citizens with commercial megawatt wind turbines.

Falmouth Wind turbine number two is subject to specific provisions terms and conditions of the Project Regulatory Agreement ("PRA") and the Loan Agreement associated with the funding of Wind II.

Under the PRA and Loan Agreement, the Town of Falmouth 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 and the Trust's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.

The enforcement of noise regulations would have shut down the land-based wind turbine agenda statewide.
