Discussion got heated when
Huron East Against Turbines
(HEAT) expressed its frustration
with what members called Huron
East Council’s “inaction” on the
wind turbine front.
The discussion surrounded
HEAT’s meeting with Mayor Bernie
MacLellan and two councillors, as
well as legal information regarding
turbine noise HEAT wanted to
ensure council had access to. The
discussion often involved raised
voices and MacLellan had to employ
his gavel on more than one occasion.
Tom Melady, HEAT member, said
he wanted to ensure that council had
access to turbine noise studies
conducted by top audiologists,
specifically Rick James, a leading
sound technician from Michigan
who has worked with HEAT before.
While council was concerned
about costs that may be associated
with such a sound study, HEAT
members insisted that costs should
be covered by the municipality’s
forthcoming cost recovery bylaw.
Before dealing with any specifics,
however, MacLellan addressed a
miscommunication between HEAT
and council concerning council’s
second legal opinion on potential
turbine bylaws.
MacLellan clarified what council
had done for members of HEAT,
saying that council did not go to a
second lawyer to get a second
opinion. When HEAT expressed
concerns about potential bias in the
municipality’s lawyer, councilauthorized bringing the first lawyer’swork to a second lawyer to confirm
it was “good work” which he did.
Council did not take its turbine
information to a second lawyer who
started on the issue from scratch, but
rather had the first lawyer’s work
reviewed by a second lawyer.
HEAT member Gerry Ryan told
council that the idea behind finding
legal grounds to create a bylaw that
deals with wind turbines was not to
ask a lawyer if council could create
such a bylaw, but to tell a lawyer that
council wants a turbine bylaw,asking how that would be legallypossible. Ryan has often repeated
that approach to council, feeling that
a firmer approach would get work
done, rather than falling back on
legal precedent that shows such a
bylaw can’t legally be created.
HEAT member Jean Melady
stated that the group’s issue with the
municipality’s first lawyer was
transparency, and that the group
wants a noise study to be a part of a
potential consultation form, which
MacLellan said only makes sense.
MacLellan says that the approvalprocess has a specific method ofmeasuring noise and if the province
has adopted a sound study that
HEAT members disagree with,
there’s nothing Huron East Council
can do about it.
He said that he disagrees with it
too, but if it’s the approved sound
study method, MacLellan said, the
province has the final say.
Ryan was also concerned about
council not moving to participate in
a baseline sound study. A baseline
study would examine current sound
levels, so when turbines are erected,the new levels can be compared tothe pre-turbine levels to see how
much noise has been added as a
result of the turbines.
“We’ve been requesting this since
day one,” Ryan said of a baseline
sound study. “You can do this, it
shouldn’t cost you a thing.”
MacLellan, however, explained to
Ryan that the province has dictated
the sound study process.
“We have been told that this is the
process whether we like it or
