(Denny Scott photo) Due to increased public interest, the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) will be extending the public review period for its Offshore Windpower Environmental Registry Posting from Aug. 24 to Sept. 7. On June 25 the Ministry of Environment, posted amendments on the Environmental Registry to provide clear, upfront provincial rules for offshore wind facilities, including a 5 km shoreline exclusion zone for offshore turbines, measured from the water’s edge of the Great Lakes and other inland lakes like Lake St. Clair. The public review for this registry (011-0089) has now been extended to a 74-day review. An Environmental Registry was also posted by the Ministry of Natural Resources on August 18 to invite comment on potential offshore areas and criteria that should be taken into consider- ation, which may constrain future development as part of the Crown land application process. The proposed regulations (011-0907) can be reviewed at www.ebr.gov.on.ca and are open for a 47-day public comment until Oct. 4. Carol Mitchell, Huron-Bruce MPP for Huron-Bruce, has encouraged her constituents to participate in these public consultations. All comments will be considered as part of the decision- making process by MOE and MNR if submitted in writing or electronically, with the EBR Registry numbers provided.
