We are hosting the 2°d Community Liaison Committee Meeting Good planning involves the community so we have established a CLC to discuss key aspects of construction, installation, operation, maintenance and retirement of the Bluewater Wind Energy Centre. This Committee is a requirement of our Renewable Energy Approval, and serves as a forum to discuss concerns, share information, exchange ideas related to construction and operations, and to provide project updates. The CLC is not intended to re -visit matters already addressed through the MOE approval process. About the Bluewater Wind Energy Centre The Bluewater Wind Energy Centre, which includes a transmission line that extends into the Municipality of Huron East, will have a maximum generating capacity of up to 60 megawatts, using 37 wind turbines; this is enough clean energy to power over 15,000 homes. The wind farm is expected to create about 150 construction jobs, 5 to 6 full-time local operations jobs, and is estimated — over its 20 year lifespan — to contribute almost $9 million to local governments in property taxes and $13 million in lease payments to landowners. About the Community Liaison Committee Membership is drawn from a cross-section of the community so as to provide a broad and balanced perspective. Representatives of the following groups are invited to make up the Committee: persons residing or owning lands within 1 km of the Facility, other area residents and landowners, members of the agricultural and business community, government agencies, local organizations, special interest groups, and Aboriginal, First Nation and Metis communities. A total of four (4) CLC meetings will be facilitated by AECOM over the next two years. All meeting materials (e.g., agendas, minutes, and presentations) will be made available for public review at www.NextEraEnergyCanada.com. All meetings are open so that the public can attend and observe the conversation — as well, requests for delegations are welcomed. To be considered for a public deposition, please submit a request and the actual written deposition to Avril Fisken (AECOM) by May 14th, 2014.
