Note # Cape Cod Commission Model Bylaw 10 x Rotor Diameter

Minimum Performance Standard E1.8 “Noise – All Applicants for a WECF [wind energy conversion facility] greater than 660 KW shall perform a noise study and fund a Cape Cod Commission approved consultant’s review of the noise study, and adhere to a setback of 10 times rotor diameter of the proposed turbine from the nearest receptor, or residentially zoned parcel.

One Falmouth, Massachusetts wind turbine would be around 3000 feet from the nearest home
