to submitting any information to the MassCEC.
Nothwithstanding the above, certain kinds of information may be statutorily exempt from public
disclosure under the limited exemption at Chapter 23J, Section 2(k) of the Massachusetts General
Laws. Specifically, materials that fall under one of the following categories may be determined to be
not public records and thus not subject to disclosure:
1. Information, documents, or data that consist of trade secrets;
2. Information, documents, or data that consist of commercial or financial information regarding the
operation of any business conducted by the Applicant; and
3. Information, documents, or data regarding the Applicant’s competitive position in a particular field
of endeavor.
An Applicant may assert a claim of confidentiality for part or all of the information submitted to the
MassCEC. To make a claim of confidentiality, an Applicant must:
1. Clearly identify the documents, reports, or other information you wish to receive confidential
treatment and mark such materials “CONFIDENTIAL”. Where a portion of an otherwise
nonconfidential document is alleged to be confidential, the confidential portions should be
clearly identified and marked.
2. State the basis for your claim of confidentiality (whether trade secret, commercial or financial
information, or competitive position information) and whether disclosure of the information
would likely result in substantial harm to your business. If substantial harm would result from
disclosure, state what those harmful effects would be and their causal connection to disclosure
of the information;
3. State the period of time for which confidential treatment is desired (e.g., until a certain date, until
the occurrence of a specific event, or permanently);
4. Submit nonconfidential information (including any redacted versions of partially confidential

documents) separate from all materials for which you request confidential treatment.
All confidentiality claims are subject to verification by the MassCEC. If no confidentiality claim is
made when information is received by the MassCEC, then it may be made publicly available without
further notice to you.
11. Audit
At any time period prior to the completion of the Project and as otherwise provided in this Section,
MassCEC will have the right to audit Participant’s or its other agents’ records to confirm the use of
the Grant proceeds. If such audit reveals that any portion of the Grant was utilized for purposes not
permitted under the applicable Task Order, then Participant shall refund to MassCEC the amount
determined by such audit within thirty (30) days of Participant’s receipt of such audit and demand.
Participant shall maintain books, records, and other compilations of data pertaining to the Grant
payments made under an applicable Task Order to the extent and in such detail as shall properly
substantiate use of such payments. All such records shall be kept for a period of seven (7) years,
Page 4
starting on the first day after final payment under an applicable Task Order (the “Retention Period”).
If any litigation, claim, negotiation, audit or other action involving the records is commenced prior to
the expiration of the Retention Period, all records shall be retained until completion of the audit or
other action and resolution of all issues resulting there from, or until the end of the Retention Period,
whichever is later. MassCEC or the Commonwealth or any of their duly authorized representatives
shall have the right at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine and copy at
reasonable expense, the books, records, and other compilations of data of the Participant which
pertain to the provisions and requirements of this Grant. Such access may include on-site audits,
review and copying of records.
12. Conflict of Interest

Participant acknowledges that all MassCEC employees are subject to the Massachusetts Conflict of
Interest statute, located at Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 268A.
13. Lobbying
No Grant funds may be used to pay for or otherwise support any activities intended to influence any
matter pending before the Massachusetts General Court or for activities covered by the law and
regulations governing “legislative agents” or “executive agents” set forth in the Massachusetts
Lobbying Law, M.G.L. c.3, §39.
14. Choice of Law

This Agreement shall be construed under, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. The Participant agrees to bring
any Federal or State legal proceedings arising under this Grant in which the Commonwealth or
MassCEC is a party in a court of competent jurisdiction within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
This Section shall not be construed to limit any other legal rights of the parties.
15. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable to the other, or be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for any
failure or delay in rendering performance arising out of causes beyond its reasonable control and
without its fault or negligence. Such causes may include, but are not limited to, acts of God or of a
public enemy, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, or
unusually severe weather. Dates or times of performance including the Term of this Agreement may
be extended to account for delays excused by this Section, provided that the party whose
performance is affected notifies the other promptly of the existence and nature of such delay.
16. Waivers
Conditions, covenants, duties and obligations contained in this Agreement may be waived only by
written agreement between the parties. Forbearance or indulgence in any form or manner by a party
shall not be construed as a waiver, nor in any way limit the remedies available to that party.
17. Severability
Each provision of this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and independent clause and any
decision from a court of competent jurisdiction to the effect that any clause or provision of this
Agreement is null or unenforceable shall in no way impair the validity, power or enforceability of any

Areas of Critical Environmental Concern
National Wetlands Inventory
Protected and Recreational Open Space
DCR or Locally Designated Scenic Landscapes
State Register of Historic Places
See figure in attachment 6C following this form
Provide a commentary (1-2 paragraphs) on whether any of these

Environmental/Permitting items could be a fatal flaw to the project.

Form B-2
-4-
At the site, there are no mapped Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, National
Wetlands Inventory, Protected and Recreational Open Space, Designated Scenic
Landscapes, or areas on the State Register of Historic Places. The GIS data base
does show an area beyond the site to the east that is labeled as both Natural
Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP) Priority Habitats for Rare
Species and NHESP Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife. To ensure this is not a
critical flaw, the City of Fall River is requesting funding to: 1) identify via formal
request the species of concern; 2) conduct a site walkover for said species and other
readily observable threatened and endangered (T&E) species; and 3) develop a
construction mitigation plan as necessary.
The GIS mapping shows there is a small area of wetlands on the southern edge of
the site, but that the rest of the almost 160-acre planning area does not have
wetlands. To confirm this and ensure wetlands are not a critical flaw, the City of Fall
River has requested funding for a wetlands survey at the met tower site and in the
general area of where the turbines may be located (see details in feasibility
application B-3).
(9) Interconnection (1 Paragraph). Please provide a brief description of the electrical

infrastructure near the site, including the distance to closest transmission or distribution
lines and their voltage and capacity, distance to nearest available three-phase power if
not on-site, and assumed interconnection points. ,
Potential interconnections include a three-phase distribution line along Yellow Hill

Road near the western edge of the turbine planning area, or a 115 kV line that
crosses the northern edge of the wind turbine planning area. The City of Fall River
has requested funding as part of this grant to conduct a critical flaw analysis
assessing interconnection issues and the optimal location for interconnection with
respect to both cost and environmental impact. Preliminary assessment indicates
such interconnection work options would not affect bottom line of project economics
(Project pro forma is provided in Optional Attachment No. 1).
(10) Site Access (1 Paragraph). Please describe how a turbine and its components could be
transported to the site from main highways. Maps depicting a potential route could be
included.
The turbines could be transported from the north via Route 24 or from the west from
Route 195. One feasible approach would be to take Route 195 east to exit 11, Take
Reed Road north to North Hixville Road, then North Hixville Road north to Yellow Hill
Road, and then east on to the access road for Copicut Hill. The City of Fall River
indicates the access road to the site would need to be improved and has allotted
budget in the feasibility assessment to evaluate costs to understand impacts to
project economics.
See figure in attachment 6D following this form
(11) Fatal Flaws (1-3 Paragraph)

Summarize any identified potential project fatal flaws and the management strategies
proposed to address them. In addition to any items identified above, address at a
minimum:
Form B-2
-5-
• transportation/site access potential
• noise
• shadow–flicker
• space for construction (i.e. lay-down area)
• microwave/communications towers or radar facilities
The advantage of this site is that is situated far from sensitive receptors that typically
can result in a critical flaw for a project. As it is more than 1,800 feet from the closest
residence, noise and shadow flicker will not be an issue. The site is also very large
(more than 160 acres) and thus there is ample room for lay-down of equipment and
construction.
With respect to transportation, the site has a dirt access road. The road will be
adequate for delivery of the met tower equipment, but will require re-grading and
widening for delivery of the turbines. This should not be a critical flaw, and the
feasibility assessment includes a detailed analysis of work needed on this access
road as well as any required improvements to local roadways with respect to delivery
of turbines.
To address any potential impacts from the project on communication towers on the
top of Copicut Hill, the feasibility study will conduct a communications impact study
using the firm of Evans Associates. The study will evaluate the full range of potential
communication impacts to assess whether there are critical flaws with this project.
Because of the large size of the site there are many locations for siting a turbine in
the event a particular location is identified as causing a conflict in communications.
Another issue that will be carefully evaluated in the feasibility study is availability and
suitability of interconnection lines. This was discussed above in response to
Question No. 9.
(12) Recommendations (1 Paragraph)

Provide a summary of recommended turbine sizes, if any that merit investigation in a
feasibility study.
The City of Fall River is evaluating the use of 1.65 or 1.8 MW turbines. See details
in response to Question No. 5 above and discussions of financial payback and
revenue streams that would be associated with these options in the Feasibility
Application Form B-3.

Note:
This calculator tool was developed by The Cadmus Group, Inc. on behalf of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MCEC). It is
intended to provide a coarse estimate of wind resources and neither The Cadmus Group, nor MCEC, makes any guarantees as to the
actual resource availablility for specific locations. Factors such as site condition parameters entered by the user, topography,
geography, and other variables will all affect the model's resource estimation . The primary purpose of this tool is to predicate the
probability of Wind Resource availability in Massachusetts. It is a preliminary rough estimate of what the likely wind resource is for the
area of interest. It should not be used for system design. Should the resource estimate appear to be sufficient please contact a qualified
wind turbine installer for a detailed site assesment.

Fall River Wind Ordinance

Division 11 Wind Energy Facilities
Sec. 86-403 Purpose

The purpose of this ordinance is to provide criteria which will help the City of Fall
River evaluate a small wind project. Any proposed non-conforming small wind
energy systems will be addressed through a special permit process under the review
of the special permit granting authority.
(a) Applicability This section applies to small wind systems no greater than 60
kilowatts of rated nameplate capacity proposed to be constructed after the
effective date of this section. This ordinance is not intended to cover roof-
mounted, building-integrated, building-mounted or architectural wind systems;
this ordinance only covers stand-alone tower mounted systems.
(b) Definitions
(1) Height: The height of a wind turbine measured from natural grade to
the tip of the rotor blade at its highest point, or blade-tip height.
(2) Rated Nameplate Capacity: The maximum rated output of electric power
production equipment. This output is typically specified by the manufacturer
with a "nameplate" on the equipment.
(3) Small Wind Energy System: All equipment, machinery and structures utilized in
connection with the conversion of wind to electricity. This includes, but is not
limited to, storage, electrical collection and supply equipment, transformers,
service and access roads, and one or more wind turbines, which has a rated
nameplate capacity of 60 kW or less.
(4) Wind turbine: A device that converts kinetic wind energy into rotational energy
that drives an electrical generator. A wind turbine typically consists of a tower,
nacelle body, and a rotor with two or more blades.
Sec. 86-404 General Requirements
(a) A small wind energy system is permitted in any district provided the height
is less than 75 feet and the system meets the Site Development Standards
listed in Section 86-405.
(b) The board of appeals may grant a special permit for a small wind energy
system with a height greater than 75 feet provided it meets all Site
Development Standards listed in Section 86-405 and the board finds that the
location, setback, and design of such structure will not be detrimental to the
neighborhood or abutting properties by reason of safety, appearance or
noise.
(c) Temporary Meteorological Towers (Met Towers): Met towers shall be

permitted under the same standards as a small wind system, except that the
requirements apply to a temporary structure. A permit for a temporary met
tower shall be valid for a maximum of 3 years after which an extension may
be granted.
Sec. 86-405 Site development standards
(a) Setbacks: Wind turbines shall be set back a distance equal to the total
height of the wind turbine from all inhabited structures, overhead utility
lines, public or private rights of way, and from property boundaries of the lot
on which the turbine is located.
(b) Setback Waiver: There are no setback waivers.
(c) Appearance, Color and Finish: The wind generator and tower shall remain
painted or finished the non-reflective color or finish that was originally applied by
the manufacturer, unless approved in the building permit.
(d) Lighting: Wind turbines shall be lighted only if required by the Federal
Aviation Administration. Lighting of other parts of the small wind energy
system, such as appurtenant structures, shall be limited to that required for
safety and operational purposes, and shall be shielded from abutting properties.
(e) Signage and Advertising: Signs and advertising shall be restricted to

reasonable identification of the manufacturer or operator of the small wind energy
facility and shall defer to the requirements of the city sign regulations.
(g ) Noise: The small wind energy system and associated equipment shall
conform with the provisions of the Department of Environmental Protection's,
Division of Air Quality Noise Regulations (310 CMR 7.10), unless the
Department and the Permit Granting Authority agree that those provisions shall
not be applicable.
(j) Removal Requirements: Any small wind energy system which has reached the
end of its useful life or has been abandoned shall be removed by the property
owner within 3 months of deactivation. A small wind energy system shall be
considered abandoned when it fails to operate for one year. Upon a Notice of
Abandonment issued by the Building Inspector, the small wind energy system
owner will have 30 days to provide sufficient evidence that the system has not
been abandoned or the city shall have the authority to enter the owner's property
and remove the system at the owner's expense.
Sec. 86-406 Permit Requirements
(a) Documents: The building permit application shall be accompanied by

deliverables including the following:
(1) A plot plan showing:

(i) Property lines and physical dimensions of the
subject property within 2 times the total height from
the tower location.
(ii) Location, dimensions, and types of existing major
structures on the property and abutting properties.
(iii) Location of the proposed wind system tower,
foundations, guy anchors and associated equipment.
(iv) The right-of-way of any public road that is
contiguous with the property;
(v) Any overhead utility lines;
(2) Wind system specifications, including manufacturer and
model, rotor diameter, tower height, tower type (freestanding or
guyed)
(3) Tower foundation blueprints or drawings signed by a
Professional Engineer licensed to practice in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
(4) Tower blueprint or drawing signed by a Professional Engineer licensed
to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
(5) Certification by a Professional Engineer licensed to practice
in the Commonwealth of MA certifying that the structure can withstand
winds of up to 125 mph.
(b) Expiration: A permit issued pursuant to this ordinance shall expire if:
(1) The small wind energy system is not installed and functioning
within 24-months from the date the permit is issued; or,
(2) The small wind energy system is abandoned.
(c) Administration and Enforcement: This ordinance shall be administered and

enforced by the Building Inspector or other official as designated.
(1) The Building Inspector may enter any property for which a
building permit has been issued under this ordinance to conduct an
inspection to determine whether the conditions stated in the permit have
been met.
(2) The property owner shall file inspection reports with the Building
Inspector once every five years on the anniversary date of the initial
building permit issuance. Each report shall be completed by a Professional
Engineer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and
shall demonstrate that the structure continues to meet all required
construction and installation standards.

PROJECT PROFILE
TransCanada Kibby Mountain

Wind Power Project
Project Challenges
As New England’s largest wind farm to date, the Kibby Mountain wind farm’s
44 turbines will provide 132 megawatts (MW) of clean power for over 50,000
Maine homes, but local constituents opposed its development.
TRC Solutions
• TRC conducted extensive field studies of the site for the proposed Kibby
Wind Power Project in Franklin County, Maine, including the wind turbine
generator sites and the proposed transmission line. TRC’s site reviews
weaved a path through numerous recreational, development, visual, and
natural resource issues.
• In addition to providing permitting support, TRC’s electrical engineers are
serving as the owner’s engineer for collector system design and transmission
line construction, and have provided design engineering services for the 27
miles of transmission line that will connect the project to the New England
grid.
Client Benefits:
• Lending an ear to all interested parties, TRC helped the client successfully
address controversial issues and diffuse tensions.
• The development plan met with unanimous final approval by Maine’s Land
Use Regulation Commission in July 2008, and construction of the facility
began in September 2008
• Twenty two (22) turbines were completed in October 2009 with the
remaining 22 turbines anticipated to be in service by October 2010.

Minerals Management Service,
Cape Wind Energy Project EIS
Project Challenges
Providing NEPA Environmental Impact Statement preparation support for North
America’s first proposed offshore wind farm on Horseshoe Shoal off of Cape Cod
in Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts.
This is the first and only offshore wind energy project in the U.S. to have
progressed so far in the environmental review and permitting process. Miles
from the nearest shore, the proposed wind farm will consist of 130 wind
turbines harnessing the wind to produce up to 454 MW of clean, renewable
energy, enough to provide three quarters of Cape Cod’s and the Islands electricity
needs.
TRC Solutions
• Provided support, while under NEPA review by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
in the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and
when the Energy Policy Act of 2005 switched the NEPA review jurisdiction
to the U.S. Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service (MMS),
continued to successfully prepare a new Draft EIS.
• Provided critical support to MMS as they worked their way through NEPA in
the absence of new regulations for their Offshore Renewable Energy Program.
Involved heavily in determining how to prepare an EIS that is compliant with
NEPA, for this first of its kind project.
• Organized public hearings, coordinated over 42,000 comment documents
received during the comment period, and successfully revised the Draft EIS
into a Final EIS.
• Completed the 2,800-page FEIS detailing impacts the wind farm would have
on more than 25 environmental and societal resources including for example,
historic properties, marine life, water and air quality, birds, navigation,
aesthetics, and recreation and tourism.

RENEWABLE ENERGY &
SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTING SERVICES
Sustainability is generally defined as meeting human needs
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. With increased public awareness of Global
Warming, organizations and governments are focused on efforts to
reverse the impact of human activity on the environment using
various strategies to mitigate carbon emissions.
The advantage will be with those organizations and communities

that develop and take proactive steps to counter both the
inevitable rise in fossil fuels prices and the new regulatory framework that will place a
price on carbon emissions.

Wind Power Project Summary
Mark Richey Woodworking Wind Turbine Project: Mark
Richey Woodworking and Design crafts and installs
high-end architectural mill work for corporate, institutional,
retail, restaurant, and residential clients. They use source
materials with sustainability in mind and continually
work to reduce the energy footprint of their facility.
Meridian worked with Mark Richey to install a medium
scale wind turbine generator for use at their facility. The
displacement of retail energy costs through net metering
provides economic incentives to support the philosophy of
Mr. Richey. The construction of this medium scale turbine
augments the biomass furnace which uses pulp and wood
waste from the cabinetry operation to heat the
woodworking facility.
Ipswich Wind Turbine Project: The Town of Ipswich has a

history of electrical generation that dates back over 100
years. The Ipswich Utilities Department is proposing to
develop a small portion of municipally owned property to
erect a wind turbine electric generator. Median has been
retained to examine a limited number of factors that relate to
the economic feasibility of a single turbine project at the
designated site. The wind turbine will be able to stabilize
electric utility rates and increase the supply of electricity
utilizing the natural wind source and at the same time
promoting sustainable power through public awareness,
permitting, engineering ,and land surveying. The report is
intended to provide the Utilities Department an assessment
of weather the proposed location is viable for a wind turbine
and review three turbine alternatives, and recommend the
one with the most favorable projected return on investment.
South Essex Sewerage District: After several studies in the

city, SESD was chosen as the best site to facilitate a wind
turbine. Energy savings garnered from the wind turbine
could lead to savings for energy consumers in Beverly,
Danvers, Marblehead, and Peabody as well as Salem.
Meridian has been retained to analyze SODAR wind data
and prepare a feasibility report to assess potential wind
turbine production as well as an economic analysis.
Bristol Community College: Bristol Community College
(BCC), located in Fall River, Massachusetts, offers the local
community open access to high quality, affordable, academic
programs including associate degree and certificate
programs. As a participant in the Commonwealth’s Leading
By Example (LBE) program, BCC is looking to install
on-site renewable power generation to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, as well as improve its overall energy
efficiency. The LBE programs’ goal is to reduce overall
energy consumption on state college campuses by 15% by
2012; with part of this strategy involving the use of
renewable energy. Meridian Associates has installed a 50
meter meteorological tower to assess wind data for a period
of nine months to complete a wind analysis and economic
pro-forma. Meridian Associates will also prepare a $85,000
grant application with the Massachusetts technology
Collaborative for the purpose of completing a feasibility
study for a commercial scale wind turbine. The proposed 1.5
megawatt turbine will provide the college with clean,
renewable energy and reduce electricity costs.
Sagamore Hill, Hamilton, MA: Meridian Associates

secured a $40,000 grant from the Massachusetts Technology
Collaborative for the preparation of a Wind Turbine Feasi-
bility Study for a joint project between the USAir Force and
the Town of Hamilton. The proposed site for the wind tur-
bine is atop Sagamore Hill in Hamilton, which is currently a
USAF solar observatory base. The turbine will be used to
generate power for the USAF and the Town of Hamilton.
The study included 9 months of wind data analysis, projected
turbine power output, a complete financial pro-forma, and a
fatal flaws analysis.
Private Residence Bergey Wind Turbine: The lattice tower

and equipment were installed to supplement domestic energy
use. Local wind data was interpolated to establish sufficient
facts, which support the investment in this site. Applications
were prepared and submitted to permit the construction of
the subsurface foundation and tower in close proximity to
resource areas which include: salt marsh, costal flooding
plain, area of critical environmental concern (ACEC) and
costal bank. The proximity of the site necessitated careful
construction procedures to avoid impacting environmental
resources and wildlife habitats.
The Staples Company: Staples is considering the
installation of a commercial scale wind turbine generator
(WTG) at their office complex in Framingham, MA to
produce electrical energy for on site use. They wish to
secure design and construction grant funding from
Massachusetts Technology Collaborative under the Large
On-Site Renewables Initiative. Prior to applying for this
grant, Meridian will conduct a feasibility study based
upon the MTC feasibility study requirements. Meridian
Associates, Inc. will provide expertise with regard to
WTG site engineering, regulatory permit acquisition,
access and mobilization, constructability, cost
estimating, and electrical load assessment and
interconnection.
DCAM with Massachusetts Technology Collaborative:

Meridian Associates, Inc, in collaboration with other
consultants, are providing professional services related to
the study and design of renewable energy projects at
various locations throughout Massachusetts. These
services are provided under a “house doctor” contract with
the state’s Department of Capital Asset Management
(DCAM). Services include initial feasibility studies,

facilities. Currently, feasibility studies are being
preformed in accordance with Massachusetts Technology
Collaborative in Plymouth and Gardner, MA.
Ipswich Public Schools Wind Turbine: Meridian

conducted a preliminary feasibility study to asses the
technical and economic viability of the WTG. The study
will identify potential locations for the WTG on the
property; physical and regulatory constraints associated
with the property ,wind resources, permitting
requirements, WTG technologies; capital costs,
preliminary cost-benefits analyses. The results of the
study will equip the school with sound information to
further consider the implementation of this cost saving,
environmentally friendly renewable energy initiative.
Cuvilly Arts & Earth Center School: Technical
assistance was provided to the Cuvilly School in
Ipswich, Massachusetts to prepare a site plan and
provide the resources necessary to facilitate the
construction of a 10 kw wind turbine generator. An
assessment of site-specific constraints were
undertaken to evaluate the optimum location in
achieving the goals and objectives of the educational
institution. Our ability to draw on past experience
associated with zoning matters and abutter concerns
contributed to the overall success of the project. Close
communication with the zoning enforcement officer/
building inspector was essential.
Peabody Municipal Light Department: Meridian

Associates evaluated six potential locations for scale
wind power. This study follows an initial assessment
of wind resources in Peabody provided by UMass
renewable energy research lab. Meridian Associates’
goal is to further evaluate the subject sites for fatal
flaws, potential energy generation, and
constructability of commercial scale wind
turbines. Following the outcome of the study,
Meridian will be completing a feasibility study
including wind data analysis for a period of nine
months.
Beverly High School GreEnergy: Six months of wind

data was collected to prepare a feasibility study for the
development of a commercial scale Wind Turbine at
GreEnergy Park. A Grant Application was prepared
on behalf of the City of Beverly to secure funding in
the amount of $36,495.00 from the Massachusetts
Technology Collaborative (MTC) to evaluate the
design and installation of a Wind Turbine that will,
along with the existing Solar Arrays, power the newly
reconstructed Beverly High School.
Endicott College: Endicott College is looking to
install on-site renewable power generation to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as
improve its overall energy efficiency. Meridian
Associates will prepare a $55,000 grant application
with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative
for the purpose of completing a feasibility study for
the commercial scale wind turbine. The proposed
1.5 megawatt turbine will provide the college with
clean, renewable energy and reduce electricity costs.
Winter Island, City of Salem, MA: Continuously in

use as early as 1643, Winter Island has been the site
of a fort, shipyard and Salem’s first tavern. Owned
currently by the City of Salem Park Department as
a recreational space, it is now being looked at as the
potential site of a wind turbine.
The city’s Renewable Energy Task Force has

determined, with the assistance of Meridian
Associates, that a feasibility study is necessary to
test the amount of wind at the site. Meridian
Associates was retained to conduct a wind data
assessment and feasibility study to determine the
financial benefits of a commercial scale turbine for
the City of Salem. A meteorological tower will be
erected to collect wind speed and direction data for
a period of 6-12 months.
Upper Cape Cod Vocational School: Meridian

Associates was contracted to conduct ground
survey to map topographic features, update the
existing site plan and prepare base plans for final
design purposes and construction specifications.
Meridian will also conduct a field survey to map
the topographic site features and visible site utilities
of the proposed turbine location.
Appleton Farms: Appleton Farms was established
in 1639. It has nearly 30 buildings and structures on
site from different periods in the farm’s history. It is
the second oldest farm in America and was
continuously farmed by the Appleton family for
nine generations before being conveyed to the
Trustees of Reservations in 1998. Appleton Farms
is exploring the idea of installing a wind turbine on
the property. Meridian Associates was contracted
to install and configure a meteorological tower
which will manage and collect wind data for a
minimum period of six (6) months.

Radio Frequency, Microwave Path and Broadcast Studies – Task Description
This is a proposal for Evans Associates to conduct and
document definitive impact analyses in order to determine the
extent to which the construction of one or two wind turbines
on Copicut Hill, near Fall River, MA, could cause a significant
disruption to the service areas of FCC licensed radio frequency
facilities. The study will be conducted using industry and FCC
standard procedures, and a final report is submitted outlining
expected effects, alternatives, mitigation procedures and
recommendations. Evans’ fee schedule for primary consultants
is $170/hour, with maximum fees guaranteed.
Evans Associates will conduct studies including any or all of the following:
1. MICROWAVE PATH STUDY Professional fees: $1,950
This study may be conducted in one of two ways:

• The designation of “blackout areas” where the wind turbines cannot
be sited.
• The second method involves the determination of the impact due to
pre-sited turbines, for which the geographic coordinates and ground
elevations are known.
The impact of each turbine or potential turbine site is assessed and Evans determines
mitigation measures as per the following tasks:
1. Identify microwave paths within the project area from the FCC database and
determine Fresnel blockage areas to protect path integrity and minimize legal risk
for the site developer.
2. Analyze the effect of aperture blockage within the blackout area or with respect to
the proposed turbine positioning for each path in all three spatial dimensions
(N/S, E/W, Altitude). Recommend changes in either turbine locations or the
microwave facility as appropriate and necessary.
3. Prepare an impact and mitigation report, and provide GIS shape files and maps
describing the 3-D blackout areas.
http://www.evansassoc.com 2
2. PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO and LAND MOBILE FACILITIES: $1,750
For this task, Evans will identify from the FCC database facilities in the
impact area associated with public safety (police, fire, emergency
management), land mobile (business 2-way service) and other fixed services.
Possible multipath and aperture blockage will be investigated, and mitigation
measures developed. As part of this task, all FCC and FAA registered
communications sites in the area will be identified along with their owners
and licensees.
The impact of each turbine or potential turbine site is assessed and Evans determines
mitigation measures as per the following tasks:
1. Identify land mobile and public safety transmitters within the project area and
determine Fresnel blockage areas to protect transmission integrity and minimize
legal risk for the site developer.
2. Analyze the effect of aperture blockage within the blackout area or with respect to
the proposed turbine positioning. Recommend changes in either turbine locations
or the land mobile/public safety facility as appropriate and necessary.
3. Prepare an impact and mitigation report, and provide GIS shape files and maps
showing the land mobile/public safety sites.
3. NTIA NOTIFICATION: $650
For this task, Evans will make formal notification of the wind project and its parameters to
the federal DOC’s National Technical Information Agency, for the purpose of coordinating
the wind project with certain government agencies that could be operating potentially-
affected transmitters in areas near the wind project. Evans will notify TRC when NTIA’s
assessment is completed, usually between 45 and 60 days.
4. SITE VISIT & SITING RECOMMENDATIONS: Approx. Range $6,480 - $8,860
In order to supplement the information obtained in our in-office analysis, a visit to the project
site is recommended to determine the communications facilities that are actually on Copicut
Hill, and to make turbine siting recommendations based on information gathered at the site.
FCC databases often contain errors and omissions regarding licensed facilities, and many
microwave links are unlicensed and thus are not revealed in the in-office studies. Also,
pertinent characteristics of certain transmitting facilities are not ascertainable through the
FCC databases.
Evans will send a technician to the turbine and communications tower sites to gather
pertinent information about the tower tenants and compare them to FCC records, to help us
determine protection parameters with respect to the wind turbines. We will review the
proposed turbine locations and recommend detailed strategies to mitigate potential conflicts.
We will also provide guidance for implementing these strategies and, if appropriate,
recommend modifications or alternative locations for affected communications facilities.
If TRC elects to have this additional task done, the cost of Task 1 will be reduced by $360
and the cost of Task 2 will be reduced by $320.
Deliverables
Evans Associates will provide the client with a complete report

and exhibits showing the details of the analysis, results and
conclusions.
Schedule
Evans Associates is normally able to complete all office studies within 20 business days of
receipt of the turbine layout information, baring unforeseen impediments such as an unresolved
or inconsistent entry in the FCC’s database that requires further investigation. On-site work will
require about five weeks to complete.
Evans Associates will not proceed on any of the above tasks until so instructed by TRC.

Permitting Requirements for Copicut Hill Project

Permitting Requirements for Copicut Hill Project
The following is a description of environmental permits that may likely be required for the
Copicut Hill project. The actual permit requirements will need to be confirmed once project
location (i.e. turbine location, and access road and interconnection routes) is determined. As
well, project size will make a difference in the permitting requirements: Permitting will be more
extensive for a full build out scenario (e.g. 6 turbines). In general the amount of permitting
required will hinge on the extent of wetland impacts, which will need to be determined via a
wetland delineation and a review of site layout.
Local Permitting Requirements
Local Permitting requirements include filing of a Notice of Intent with the Fall River
Conservation Commission for impacts to wetlands or wetland buffer zone, Site Plan Review
under the Fall River Zoning process, and a building permit. The requirements for these are
discussed below.
Conservation Commission Approval
The project may require the filing of a Notice of Intent with the Fall River Conservation
Commission to address impacts to wetlands associated with the construction of access roads, the
wind turbines themselves, and interconnection lines. As well, any impacts to wetlands
associated with temporary lay down areas, staging areas, or the construction of a substation,
would require approval under the Fall River Conservation Commission. The Massachusetts GIS
data shows that there are no wetlands in the municipally owned portion of the land above 90
meters (see Figure No. 3 in Attachment No. 6 to this grant application) except for one small area,
but such data is not always accurate.
The City of Fall River will need to delineate wetlands and if there are wetlands in the area of the
work or the work is located within 100 feet of wetlands, than a Notice of Intent will need to be
filed. This requires the development of project plans to show the extent of wetland impact, and a
description of the type and amount of wetland resources affected. The procedure involves a
hearing before the commission and requires that the proponent demonstrate that wetland impacts
have been avoided, minimized and or mitigated in accordance with the Wetland Protection Act
standards. A Notice of Intent may also be required for the installation of the Meteorological
tower depending on its location relative to wetland resources, though we anticipate this will not
be required and will confirm via a wetlands delineation.
Site Plan Review under the Fall River Zoning
As the city is the applicant, zoning review may not be required. Some cities and towns pursue
zoning review regardless of the requirement to demonstrate that the municipality is complying
with its own regulations and or to gain official approval of the town. In this case, the City would
need to demonstrate compliance with its new Wind by-law which includes compliance with the
State’s noise standards at (310 CMR 7.10), and demonstration of compliance with the fall zone
setback requirement from roads and property lines that is equal to the height of the turbine blade
at its highest point. These do not appear to be an issue given the size of the site and its setback
from other homes and sensitive receptors.
Building Permit
The Project will require a building permit from the City of Fall River. The meteorological tower
and the turbine will need to comply with all relevant building codes and relevant safety issues.
State Permitting Requirements
Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Review
The state MEPA review acts as an information clearing house whereby project proponents
provide information about the environmental impacts of their projects so that permitting agencies
and stakeholders can identify the extent of affect of such projects and request additional review
or mitigation to minimize impacts. The first stage of the MEPA review involves filing an
Environmental Notification Form (ENF) if the project triggers a MEPA review threshold. This
allows the public to understand basic information about the project, and then if needed, the
Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs can request further studies and/or the filing of a
more detailed environmental report (i.e., the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in either a Draft
and Final version or a Single version).
Work could possibly trigger an ENF via 301 CMR 11.03(3)(b)1d for alteration of 5,000 or more
sf of bordering or isolated vegetated wetlands. The requirement for an EIR is unlikely for the
one or two turbine scenario, though there may be some possibility for the full build out scenario
(10 turbines) if disturbance results in alteration of 50 or more acres of land or alteration of more
than 10 acres of wetlands. Both of these will depend on siting and layout of access roads and
interconnection lines.
DEP - Water Quality Certification (314 CMR 9.00: 401)
To the extent the project involves the discharge of dredged or fill material into more than 5000
square feet of wetlands or a waterway for either the turbine towers, access roads, construction of
a substation, temporary work or laydown areas, or other use, then a Water Quality Certification
would be required. The Water Quality Certification is required to ensure that the fill placed does
not negatively affect the water quality and environmental and human resources that use the water
for drinking and or as wildlife habitat. An Order of Conditions is typically a pre-requisite to
filing for a Water Quality Certification.
Federal Permitting Requirements
The project may require federal permits such as: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) permit
if there are wetland impacts, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) review, and National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for construction stormwater, and
possibly for construction dewatering, as well as consultation with federal agencies including:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and U.S.
National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NITA). These regulatory requirements
are discussed below.
U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE)
The ACOE may be involved in the project to the extent there are wetland impacts. The ACOE
potentially has jurisdiction through section 404 of the Clean Water Act, if the proposed project
will have temporary or permanent impacts to wetlands or waters of the United States. A wetland
delineation of the project facilities will be needed to determine if the ACOE will have
jurisdiction. The ACOE will evaluate the project to ensure the proposed work minimizes
impacts to wetlands and is the least damaging practicable alternative. The review process at the
Corps will hinge on the size of impacted area. Projects of less than one acre can qualify for a
Programmatic General Permit (PGP), which does not involve public notice, and projects that are
larger than this require review through the ACOE individual permit process, which involves a
more lengthy and detailed evaluation process, a public notice, and evaluation of agency and
public comments.
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA would have jurisdiction of certain project activities as pertaining to the Clean Water
Act. Specifically, the project will require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Stormwater Discharge General Permits for both the construction and operation of the
facility. These permit applications will outline the measures taken by the project to manage the
stormwater during both the construction and operation of the project and require the
development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP shows the
drainage system and discusses the measures taken to prevent excessive sedimentation or
contamination in stormwater runoff into wetlands and waterways.
Federal Aviation Administration
The Project turbines would be greater than 200 feet high and as such, would trigger FAA review
thresholds under part 77 – Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace. Specifically, Section 77.13 a
(2) (ii), requires notice for any construction greater than 200 feet high. Based on the evaluation
of FAA’s data base and other towers permitted in the area, FAA issues do not appear to be a
critical flaw. In addition, there are no airports within 5 miles of the project
U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Agency – Consultation
The NTIA is responsible for managing the federal agency use of telecommunications and radar
facilities including Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security
communications. Although not a specific requirement of any permitting process, it is typically
recommend that wind project proponents coordinate with NTIA to confirm that there is not an
impact to federally operated radio frequency facilities.

Wind Resource Assessment

First Level Screening Wind Resource Assessment
The first task in the Fall River wind feasibility assessment was to generally assess winds
in the area to determine whether there is sufficient wind resources to operate a financially
viable wind development project. This analysis was performed first in order to confirm
adequacy of the wind resource and to provide guidance regarding the siting of the
turbine.
The first level screening approach involves assembling available wind resource maps of
the Fall River area as well as identifying relevant meteorological data in the form of
hourly observations at specific locations that can provide additional information to be
used with the wind resource maps. In addition to the available wind maps and surface
meteorological data wind resource analysis conducted for the Fall River Waste Water
Treatment Plant Wind Turbine project and the Lightolier project were reviewed and
results incorporated into this first level screening. TRC also is aware of meteorological
data being collected for the Bristol Community College wind project in Fall River,
though this information will not be available until the summer of 2010.
Table 1 shows the standard wind power classification system. This system shows 7 wind
power classes with 1 being the poorest wind conditions and Class 7 being the best
conditions. Typically, annual wind speeds of at least 5 m/s are required for grid
connected wind projects while for large scale wind projects Class 4 rating or higher is
desirable.
Evaluation of Wind Resource Maps
Wind resource maps over the Fall River area were developed by AWS Truewind. The
wind maps were developed using a proprietary mesoscale numerical weather prediction
model using a grid resolution of 1 km. The numerical model output is then passed
through a diagnostic meteorological model and downscaled to a resolution of 200 meters
using finer resolution terrain and land use data. These simulations are conducted for each
day of a randomly sampled 15-year period. The result is an annual wind resource map at
a grid resolution of 200 meters. These wind maps were obtained through the
Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.
[1]
Figure 1 shows the annual average wind speed map at a height of 50 meters above ground
at Fall River and the surrounding region. This map shows that the highest wind speeds
are confined to the immediate coastal sections while somewhat lower annual wind speeds
occur over broader regions inland. Across the Fall River area the annual average wind
speed at 50 meters above ground is between 5.5-6.0 m/s but with areas of lower wind
speeds (i.e. < 5.5 m/s) occurring at various locations. The higher wind speeds are likely
the result of elevated terrain. Figure 2 shows an annual wind power density map at 50
meters above ground. This map shows that wind power density across the Fall River area
is on the order of 200-300 Watts/m2 and with pockets of lower wind power density
evident.
These data suggest that the Fall River area is characterized by Class 2 wind resource
which is on the low end of the wind power classification system shown in Table 1.
Analysis of Hourly Observations
Hourly observational data was obtained from available surface meteorological stations
from the National Climatic Data Center TD3505 data set (Integrated Surface Hourly
Weather Observations). Three-years of hourly data for the period 2006-2008 were used
from both New Bedford Airport and the Borden Flats Light station in Mount Hope Bay.
Figure 3 shows a plot of the available surface station locations. The analysis of this data
consisted of first performing a data quality assessment by plotting a time series of the
wind speed, wind direction, and temperature data for the three year period. Any
observations that were clear outliers were flagged and examined closer to assess whether
the data could be in error. If the data was suspected to contain errors it was removed from
the analysis.
Three years of hourly observations from the New Bedford Airport ASOS (Automated
Surface Observing Station) site (station number 725065) for the period 2006-2008 was
included in the analysis. The New Bedford station is located about 17 km east of Fall
River in an area that has similar land surface characteristics to Fall River. The wind
measurement height is 7.9 meters. In addition, data for the same three-year period from
the Borden Flats Light station was also examined. Meteorological instruments at this site
are mounted on top of a small lighthouse situated over Mount Hope Bay. Wind
measurement height is estimated from photographs to be approximately 18 meters. Since
the Borden Flats Light station is located offshore in Mount Hope Bay and this station is
[2]
likely not representative of wind conditions over inland areas of Fall River. Additionally,
temperature measurements were missing for most of the three-year period so the data
could not be used to compute wind power density.
A data quality assessment of the New Bedford data showed that the observations were of
reasonable quality. Figure 3 shows a time series of wind speeds from New Bedford and
from Borden Flats Light. No clear extreme wind speeds are indicated and there are no
extended periods of calm winds which typically suggest instrument problems from either
station. Valid data recovery at New Bedford is good with a data recovery of 92.9 percent
of the three-year period. This suggests the data is of good quality. The Borden Flats
Light station had a valid data recovery of 85.1 percent. Note that the time series plot for
Borden Flats Light shows two significant gaps in data during the three year data period.
Figure 5 shows the three-year composite wind rose for both New Bedford and Borden
Flats Light. This figure shows the frequency of various wind speeds and wind directions
at these two stations. The lower bound wind speed was determined based on an assumed
cut-in speed of 3 m/s scaled down to the instrument measurement height for each station
from an assumed hub height of 50 meters. This scaling was performed using the wind
power law equation and an assumed wind shear exponent value of 0.17. The value of the
wind shear exponent was taken from the Fall River Waste Water Treatment Facility
Wind Resource Assessment study and was based on meteorological monitoring data
collected during that study. The wind roses in Figure 5 show that both sites have a
southwesterly prevailing wind direction. The New Bedford data shows a peak frequency
of southwest winds and a secondary peak in frequency of west and west-northwest winds.
At New Bedford calm winds which are winds less than the assumed scaled down cut-in
speed of 2.2 m/s, were found to occur 33.5 percent of the time. At Borden Flats Light the
calm wind threshold is shown to be 2.6 m/s and winds less than this speed occur about
23.2 percent of the time.
Figure 6 shows a three-year average diurnal plot of wind speed at both New Bedford and
Borden Flats Light. These plots show the typical increase in wind speed during daytime
heating hours. The Borden Flats Light data shows a flatter diurnal cycle with slightly
higher overall wind speeds, consistent with it’s location over water.
In order to better understand the wind resource based on the observed data, wind speed at
New Bedford was scaled upward to reflect estimates at high heights above ground. The
heights were selected to be consistent with typical turbine hub heights and also consistent
[3]
with heights used in available wind maps. The power law equation was used to scale the
winds and this equation is:
V2= V1 (Z2/Z1) α
Where V2 is the desired wind speed at height Z2 and V1 is the reference wind speed at height Z1.
The variable α is the wind shear exponent and it site-dependant. Note that the value of α at the
New Bedford and Borden Flats Light station is not known. The value of 0.17 is assumed since
this represents the best estimate available for the region. This value was taken from the Fall River
Waste Water Treatment Facility wind Project Feasibility Study. Since this value was estimated
from data collected at a coastal site, it applicability to more inland locations and locations on
elevated terrain is questionable. However, this is the best estimate available and appears to be a
reasonable value representing well mixed conditions in the lower boundary layer.
Table 2 shows the annual average wind speed at heights of 30, 50, 70, and 100 meters for both
New Bedford and Borden Flats Light. The three year average speed is also shown. This table
shows that Borden flats Light has slightly higher average wind speeds than New Bedford. This is
expected since Borden Flats Light is situated over the open water of Mount Hope Bay. At 50
meters the average wind speed at New Bedford is on the order of 4.9 m/s for 2006 and 2007 and
4.5 m/s for 2008. The year 2008 showed slightly lower average wind speed than the other two
years at both meteorological stations.
Table 3 shows the estimated wind power density expressed in watts/m2 for 20, 50, 70, and 100
meters above ground for New Bedford only. The wind power density for Borden Lights Flat was
not computed since this station had only a very small number of hours containing temperature
data and pressure data was not available. The estimated wind power density shows that at 50
meters the wind power density was estimated to be 277 watts/m2. This is generally consistent
with the wind power density estimates from the AWS Truewind wind maps which showed wind
power density in the range of 200-300 watts/m2. This supports the conclusion that the Fall River
region is generally in the wind power class rating of 2.
Comparisons with Other Wind Resource Studies
There are two other wind resource assessment studies that were conducted recently in the Fall
River area. One was the Fall River Waste Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study and the other
was the Lightolier Wind Turbine Project Feasibility Study. Both of these studies developed wind
resource estimates based on meteorological data collected during a monitoring program
[4]
established for the projects. The Fall River Waste Water Treatment facility and the 50 meter
meteorological tower used to collect data is located along the coastal region of Mount Hope Bay
on the southern end of the Fall River urban center. The Lightolier site is situated further inland
and meteorological data was collected on a pair of cellular towers just north of the site.
The results from these studies support the classification of the Fall River region as generally
Class 2 Wind Power Classifications. This classification is consistent with the available wind
resource maps and through examination of the New Bedford and Borden Flats Light
meteorological data.
These studies found that New Bedford meteorological data was well correlated with data
measured from the two sets of monitoring programs. However, note that the measured data at the
Wastewater Treatment site is a coastal location and had higher average wind speeds than found at
New Bedford even after the New Bedford data was scaled up to higher heights. This is likely due
partly to the use of a wind shear exponent value of 0.17 at New Bedford.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The available wind resource maps, analysis of three years of meteorological data from the New
Bedford ASOS site and the meteorological monitoring station at Borden Flats Light over Mount
Hope Bay suggest the Fall River region generally has a rating of Class 2 wind power, which can
be adequate for development of commercial wind in Massachusetts, though siting to maximize
wind potential will be critical. The results point to the need to take three actions:
• Site turbines at a high elevation or adjacent to Mt Hope Bay to maximize wind resources
that do exist. We strongly suggest Copicut Hill because of its elevation and avoidance of
land use issues and setback limitations associated with the shoreline of Mt. Hope Bay that
made siting at the sewage treatment plant problematic.
• Conduct a detailed financial analysis that takes into account local development costs and
revenues and state incentives to verify the economic viability of the project
• Assess wind resources in detail via a meteorological tower (preferably the Copicut Hill
Site) Data from a properly sited and managed monitoring program will more accurately
reflect the wind conditions at the selected site and this data can support a more refined
and comprehensive wind resource assessment.
