3/ Comment 2: Environmental findings (13 turbines in IBA, karst risks, noise 0.1 dBA below limit, $8.2M decommissioning gap)

4/ Plus: the Bald Eagle take permit isn't being obtained until "operational" — not before construction. Demand updated surveys before approval. Comment by Aug 28: https://t.co/IAzoDjJjgp #SaveWisconsin

1/ The Columbia Wind DEIS relies on bald eagle survey data from 2023. But best practices require resurveying within 1 year of construction. 🧵

3/ Eagle nests shift. Territories change. New nests are established. How can they protect nests that haven't been mapped in years?

[Save Wisconsin @SaveWisco]

Tell the PSC: consider individual hardships.
