MassDEP Wind Turbine Noise Lack of Enforcement Exposed

Wind Turbine Noise Lack of Enforcement Exposed To Protect Loans Made Through MassDEP

Massachusetts "Project Regulatory Agreement" ignores health and safety of residents living around commercial wind turbines.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection enables communities to borrow low-cost loans or zero percent loans to build wind turbines.

The Loan Agreement is an agreement between the Massachusetts Water Trust and the borrower pertaining to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection approved project cited in the Project Regulatory Agreement and the repayment evidenced by the bonds securing the loan.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection in order to approve these commercial wind turbine loans has for seven years ignored its own noise regulation 310 CMR 7.10

Governor Charlie Baker and the Massachusetts state legislature are aware of the lack of enforcement of noise regulations in at least twenty one communities.

Falmouth, Massachusetts installed two commercial wind turbine starting in 2010 that generate a chest pounding 110 decibels of noise.

The town had a warning letter, memos, emails, maps and other documents that showed the turbine should never have been built.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection still approved Project Regulatory Agreement knowing the turbines generated 110 decibels of chest pounding noise.

Twenty two Massachusetts communities have poorly placed commercial wind turbines.

Federal officials have to take action to stop the insanity.
