Two environmental groups are challenging what they call an "industrial-scale" wind project on the north end of ruggedly beautiful Steens Mountain in southeastern Oregon.
Oregon Natural Desert Association based in Bend and Portland Audubon have filed suit in U.S. District Court in Portland to stop plans for the $300 million Echanis Wind Project and its 40 to 60 wind turbines on 10,000 acres of private ranch land. It's one of two wind projects proposed on or near the spectacular 9,733-foot fault-block of Steens Mountain.
