HAMMOND - Concerned Residents of Hammond President Mary D. Hamilton made a presentation to the wind committee Thursday, including the group's recommendations for setback requirements for the placement of industrial wind turbines.
The first part of CROH's position paper focuses on Hammond's natural water resources - the shorelines of the St. Lawrence River and Black Lake.
Citing several resources, including the New York State Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance (SASS), New York State Historic Preservation Office (NYSHPO), Department of Environmental Conservation's New York Natural Heritage Program, and the Audobon Society, Mrs. Hamilton said, "The fact Hammond lies between two amazing water resources not only provides a unique distinction but poses a special situation, particularly with regards to the wildlife and migratory bird and bat population, and their scenic, environmental, recreational, and historical significance.
"These areas deserve special consideration in formulating setback conditions for an industrial wind law for the Town of Hammond."
