Ontario is seeking input on proposed rules for off-shore wind turbine.
Plan to include keeping them at least five kilometres from the shoreline.
A shoreline exclusion zone would be comparable with proposals by many U.S. states that border the Great Lakes.
In addition the Ministry of Natural Resources is undertaking a review of Ontario’s current process for making Crown land available for off-shore wind projects.
If you hunt, fish or spend time on crown land this may affect you.
This review will include consideration of where, when and how the government makes Crown land available.
Another proposed rule would require turbine developers to complete a comprehensive application process. This would include addressing potential impacts to endangered and threatened species and their habitat, significant wildlife habitats, users of Crown land, flooding and erosion.
The public and industry can comment on the proposal on the province’s environmental registry (Registry number 011-0089) for the next 60 days. Public and industry consultation sessions will also be held starting in the fall. Dates and locations will be available soon at www.ontario.ca.
