In an unprecedented move in Ontario, Transport Canada has ordered the removal of eight wind turbines in close proximity to the Chatham-Kent Municipal Airport because of height restrictions.
However, the company that owns the turbines Transport Canada wants dismantled - GDF Suez Canada - claims it hasn't been contacted by the federal agency.
David Timm, vice-president of GDF Suez Canada, told The Chatham Daily Newslate Friday afternoon: "We can't comment or provide any information, because . . . we haven't spoken with Transport Canada at all this week."
When asked if the company has turbines near the airport, Timm reiterated: "I don't know whose turbines are involved, because we have not been contacted."
Chatham-Kent Essex MP Dave Van Kesteren confirmed the action Friday morning.
A Transport Canada spokesperson told The Daily News eight wind turbines violate height limits at the Chatham-Kent Municipal Airport, which are subject to airport zoning regulations.
