One important point the Town stressed in their letter was the need for Good maps , Maps that show
the footprint of BP's project including all of the proposed turbines and all the interconnect infrastructure
for their original project of 200 MW and their updated project of 289.5 MW as
well.
They also highlighted
the need for smaller scale maps that include property lines of individual
parcels so that people can see where the turbines are to be located in relation
to their property.
Additionally, they wrote that the maps should include the 35 dBA sound
emission contour, since Cape Vincent's nighttime sound limit is 35 dBA.
Below is a map showing the estimate of the dBA values for Cape Vincent from a portion of BP's SDEIS for their original project . Considering that Cape Vincent's nighttime sound limit is 35 DbA, the industrial scale wind energy complex that BP has planned for Cape Vincent, will create quality of life issues on a grand scale.

Remember the most famous line from the O.J. Simpson trial, "If it don't fit you must aquit."
If you think about at BP's new 200-290 MW project, it would cover most of the area of our town.
It you were to plot the 35 dBA contour for 135 or more turbines in our town you would see little room for the size and scale of the project suggested by BP.
The Town would have to include ear plugs with each and every tax bill.
You can see why the Comp Plan and Zoning committees stated that industrial wind is not a good fit for Cape Vincent.
If it don't fit BP must EX-IT!
6:29 "If it don't fit BP must exit!"
Tell that to Richard Chandler on Oct 23., when he comes here to talk to the town about reducing some of its restrictions on turbines.
Be polite though, cause he is a welcomed "guest" in the Cape.
