Council defers HEAT concerns to wind committee Huron East Council has referred a number of Huron East Against Turbines (HEAT) concerns to a meeting of the St. Columban wind project’s Community Liaison Committee. Council made the decision at its Nov. 3 meeting. At council’s previous meeting, which was held at the end of October, members of the anti-wind organization aired a number of grievances pertaining to reporting complaints and alleged adverse health effects. One of the group’s founding members, Gerry Ryan, suggested that the municipality produce a mail-out that includes several phone numbers and a complaint reporting procedure so residents could have it as a reference. At the October meeting, the group wanted to address a number of issues pertaining to a wind turbine project in St. Columban. The project, which the group has been fighting for six years, is now up and running. The group’s first request was that council endorse a letter written by the Multi-Municipal Wind Turbine Working Group asking that infrasound related to wind turbines be tied into the Radiation Emitting Devices Act, acting on a recommendation by the World Health Organization (WHO). HEAT member Gerry Ryan said that wind turbines had originally been included and regulated by the act, but were then removed due to lobbying efforts by various wind turbine companies. Since that removal, he said, wind turbines have been in a bit of a ‘no- man’s land’ in terms of regulation, aside from the province’s Green Energy Act. The group also asked that a submission made by the municipality in regards to wind turbines be stricken from the record, citing it as being inaccurate, and for a clear municipal avenue for complaints pertaining to the wind turbines. At council’s previous two meetings, HEAT members had discussed reporting complaints with council, saying there was no clear procedure in place. Jeanne Melady of HEAT lamented that the contact information passed to the group by Huron East Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight was incorrect. Ryan suggested a municipal mail-out or perhaps advertisements placed in local newspapers so those affected by the wind turbines will have a go-to reference point if they’re experiencing trouble. Knight acknowledged that he made a mistake when passing the phone number along to the group and apologized. He then corrected his mistake, giving the group the correct number to call in the event of a complaint. Ryan also suggested there needs to be a procedure in place that isn’t as time-consuming as the one set up by the Ministry of the Environment. Ryan said reporting concerns to the Ministry is time-consuming and not productive, as reporting often takes place hours after the “incident” has taken place. If there were a reporting mechanism in place at the municipal level, he said, it would be easier for residents. There was a time when thought was given to reporting turbine complaints to the Huron County Health Unit, but they were reconsidered, as it’s not really the Health Unit’s job, Ryan said. At council’s Nov. 3 meeting, the issues were referred to St. Columban Wind Energy and the Community Liaison Committee, which will hold its third meeting on Nov. 18 at Huron East Town Hall in Seaforth.
