Norwich Telling Prowind to Clean Up Their Mess When They're Done

Sunday, 16 June 2013 at 11:10

It was a lesson you learned when you were young, when you're done with something, put it back the way you found it. That's what Norwich Township is asking of Prowind when it comes to their Gunn's Hill Wind Farm. The Township asked Oxford County Council Wednesday to support their request to Prowind to ensure any and all cement they pour is removed when the project is complete. Mayor Don Doan says the request is so important since the turbines will be going up on prime agricultural land. "It's very important that these sites be left cleaned up. We don't want some company just walking away from them and leaving these hundreds of truck loads of cement in the ground and telling us we can just farm overtop of it. That's no good." Doan says on top of the cement being poured for the turbines, he says roads will also be constructed and he would like to see those fully removed when the project is over as well.
