Roxbury wind farm appeal denied
An appeal of a 22-turbine wind farm near the western Maine town of Roxbury has been rejected.
The Maine Board of Environmental Protection rejected the appeal by a citizen's group filed by residents concerned about noise and health effects, according to news channel WCSH 6. The wind farm, which received a state permit last summer, is being developed by Record Hill Wind LLC, a joint project of former Gov. Angus King and former Maine Public Broadcasting Corp. director Robert Gardiner's company, Independence Wind, and Lyme, N.H.-based Wagner Forest Management. Last November, Record Hill Wind began site work on the wind farm but delayed completion until 2011 because of low energy prices.
The citizen's group plans to file a lawsuit with the Maine Supreme Judicial Court in the next 30 days.
