State Agency Sets Wildlife Protection Guidelines
for Wind Energy Developers
By Matt Joyce/AP
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has released recommendations for protecting wildlife during wind energy development, including restrictions in sage grouse habitat and in big game winter range and migration corridors.
The department characterized this week’s draft document as “advanced disclosure” of potential wildlife concerns. The department advises the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council on permit applications for major projects in the state, including wind farms.
The department began compiling the document a year ago because of growing interest in wind development in the state, biologist Scott Gamo said. It’s modeled after similar guidelines for oil and gas development.
“We felt we needed to provide a concerted effort that the department can use to approach development, much as we’ve done with oil and gas,” said Gamo, chairman of the department’s wind task force. “Hopefully through the document, (developers) can know what our expectations are up front.”
