MAKING NOME
The County of Huron is preparing
to move forward a number of recom-
mendations crafted by a committee
designed to eye the possible ramifi-
cation of Low Frequency Noise:
In acknowledging the task proved
to be an unwieldy one, committee
chairman Brian Barnim (Central
Huron) said the committee,
comprised of representatives from
seven of the county's nine munici-
palities, met three times in order to
review hundreds of pages of research
addressing issues relating to LFN.
"We kept it down to a minimum of
meetings ... at the end, we came up
with the best we could come up
with; says Barnim.
Among the committee's recom-
mendations is a proposal to ask
lower tiers to ask any developer that
anticipates "community concern" to
commit toundertaking a LFN study
before construction begins.
While Barnim spelled out that the
LFN. issue was an encompassing one,
not to be confused with ongoing
controversies relating to wind
energy, Coun. hill Dowson (Bluewa-
ter)
Bluewa
ter) wondered whether a LFN bylaw
could .have a negative impact on
Huron County's farming operations.
Citing grain dryers as an example,
Dowson wonders whether It is
possible a bylaw on the books could
spell the end for some sectors of the
ag industry.
Though Barnim acknowledges
that possibility, planning director
Scott Tousaw says any bylaw would
be Implemented on a "go forward"
basis, meaning present-day practices
would not be impacted.
Tousaw also took time out to
explain the difficulty with LFN is by
definitionit is something that cannot
be heard. Using the example of a
passing vehicle with the bass too
loud as an example, Tousaw .says
LFN can be felt through vibration or
a "mess" in the ears as opposed to
loud noises.
The LFN committee also wants to
reconvene once Ontario's Ministry of
Environment releases a pending
study on. LFN.
Also among the recommendations
of the committee is a request to the
Association of Municipalities of

Ontario (AMO) go get involved and
to get a delegation together for the

ciation (ROMA).
NEW PHOJECT
More than 400 jobs will be created
by wind energy project planned for
Huron County soil, reports Derek
Dudek of NextEra Energy Inc.
In addressing plans for the project
for the Bluewater and Goshen Wind
Energy Centre projects, Dudek says
his company has a "strong track
record" and that the project itself will
benefit the county in several ways,
including through tae dollars.
During an exchange with Coun.
Joe Steffler (Huron East), Dudek
acknowledged he is aware of claims
with regard to the negative health
impacts of wind farms at one of their
Quebec wind farms, but he was not
sure as to whether they have been
addressed.
