Some unusual activity has been taking place in Cape Vincent recently.
We just learned that Acciona has sold the St. Lawrence wind project to British Petroleum, and coincidentally Richard Edsall and Marty Mason have both applied for personal wind turbine permits for land that is listed in the BP wind lease disclosures as being under contract with BP wind Energy.
Planning board chair, Richard Edsalls application is for a piece of land on the corner of Burnt Rock Road and Swamp Road with a tax map ID number of 50.00 – 1 – 44.

Marty Mason’s permit application lists a tax map number of 50.00-1-4

The British Petroleum lease easement that I have states:
NO WIND TURBINES.
In no event during the term of this agreement shall owner construct, build, locate, or allow others to construct, build or locate any wind turbines or similar items on the owner’s property.

If personal wind turbines are not permitted on land that is under lease for wind development. Does this mean that Edsall and Mason have not read their contracts or have they lost their turbines?

On the other hand, is there another possible explanation?
At planning Board Chairman Edsalls, last planning board meeting Peter Gross mentioned they were thinking about using larger turbines.
This would mean fewer turbines in the project footprint.
Is it possible that Planning Board Chair Edsall quit in a snit over losing turbines?

Additionally, there were two more permits issued one to Cape Vincent resident Jarvis H Radley with the tax ID number 40.09 – 1– 87

Good job K. Does the handwriting on both Radley permits look identical?
Hey are those junk cars next to Jarvis Radleys barn?
Good call. Yes, the writing does look identical.
Jarvis & Jarrod, wind turbines? Not surprising...what's the problem?
