Some landowners who favor a wind farm coming to the area of Wolverine Canyon are a little concerned Tuesday morning about the upcoming public comment period, since there is worry that the public has been misinformed.

For rancher Jack Webb, the question of bringing 150 wind turbines to the area near and partially in Wolverine Canyon is simple. He's in favor of them.

"There's a misconception of that--that the whole, darn project is right in Wolverine Canyon, which it is not," says rancher and Wolverine Canyon landowner Jack Webb. While Webb agrees with having a public comment period he thinks the public has been mis-informed about the scope of the wind farm.

"This wind farm is going to be over in the cellar's creek drainage and other places," says Webb. "The actual Wolverine Canyon, you'll only see one or two [wind turbines] at the best."

Webb believes the controversy between landowners in Wolverine Canyon comes down to those who want to use the land to recreate and build houses, and those ranchers who need to make a living off the land.

"Well, we understand their position of their summer homes and stuff, but they got to understand our position too, you know. We got to survive," says Webb.

Landowners on both sides of the controversy must face a re-do of the entire decision on bringing wind turbines to the area, after worries of a conflict of interest caused the commissioners to send the controversy back to Planning and Zoning. One of the members on the planning and zoning board, Larry Kohler, owns land near Wolverine Canyon, which could cause his vote to be thrown out.

If the Bingham County Planning and Zoning board decides Kohler does have a conflict of interest, he won't be allowed to vote again. Though if this happens, and all the other board members' votes stay the same, then there will be a tie with three board members for the turbines and three against.

The public comment meeting will be held on July 9 at 7:00 PM.
