A reader commented that the tower was taken down repaired and is up and running.
I have another issue with BP’s met towers. I did a post in April concerning the met towers in Cape Vincent.
From documents available through a FOIL request it appears that the met tower permits were granted on a conditional basis with guarantees of removal after 18 months. Not only are these towers in violation of the original agreements but it appears that the permits for these towers have not been renewed.
Based on this information I asked why the towers were still standing.

In 2005 after Green light energy / BP decided to erect a met tower on the Edsall/Worner property located on Burnt Rock Road.
Planning board Chair Richard Edsall wrote a letter to his wife telling her that no permit is required to proceed with the wind test tower. (NO PERMIT)
The question is how do you renew a permit if it does not exist? I have a document from 2011 requesting a renewal of the permit, but no record of any permit. BP should be required to produce the permit for the met tower on the Edsall /Worner property. Additionally, I FOILED all of the met tower permits and the only ones available were for the Acciona / NY Wind met tower on Constance road and one on Bedford Corners Road erected by a private citizen .
If the permits do not exist this is yet another reason that these met towers should be removed.
Unfortunately according to town Attorney Mark Gebo, Met towers fall under the wind moratorium umbrella and no action will can be taken at the present time.

Pandora do you know how that met tower become crooked?
I do not know how the met tower became crooked.
Then why go on about it? Why don't you find out what happened and print that.
Yeah I’ll get right on that.
So if the wind blows it over, they can still put it back up?
