United State Fish and Wildlife Service Reviews Chautauqua Windpower's Avian Risk Assessment
October 12, 2005
by U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Summary:
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) sent two letters October 12, 2005 to
David Perry, Executive Vice President of Chautauqua Windpower LLC, severely critical of the
draft Avian Risk Assessment (ARA) completed by Chautauqua Windpower and its consultants
for the proposed wind power development in the Towns of Ripley and Westfield, Chautauqua
County, New York. The shorter of the two letters focuses on the ARA’s attention to migrating
and resident American Bald Eagles; the longer of the two letters consists of a broader evaluation
of the ARA and its attention to all resident and migrating birds.
The pdf file below is a brief summary of the USFWS letters criticizing the risk assessment. The full text of the two USFWS letters is available via the link below.
