Installation of wind measuring equipment, Lincoln Ridge, Green Mountain National Forest, Lincoln and Warren, Vermont: Environmental assessment
The specific purpose for the action under consideration in this Environmental Assessment is to determine the wind characteristics of the Lincoln Ridge site over a period of time. The wind data is needed by the government and by Green Mountain Power Corporation to determine the technical and economic feasibility for possible future erection of a wind turbine generator at this location. It is important to note that the data presented in this document relates only to the installation of one meteorological tower with related wind and ice detection and recording equipment. Based on preliminary information it is expected that the site would be feasible in all respects for installation of a large wind turbine. However, it is not intended that the environmental considerations presented herein should cover the installation and operation of a wind turbine of any size. If the site is selected at a later date for installation of a wind turbine, a complete new Environmental Assessment and an Environmental Impact Statement, if required, will be prepared.
