When contacted by the Herald in February about the noise complaints, Noble's Project Manager Brett Hastings said the town's attorney, "suggested that we have done what we need to do according to the contract."
He said the company hired to do the sound study conducted it in July of last year for 14 to 15 days, 24 hours day, at approximately 10 locations, with some set up as ambient noise sensors.
"We received many phone calls from a few people," Hastings said. "So we moved it forward. Hessler even put microphones on a couple of properties."
Hastings added that the study showed the noise was "below the 50-decibel limit. We maintain that we have done everything we can to remain in compliance. It is an industrial wind park."
Regarding the television reception, Hastings acknowledged it was Noble's responsibility to remedy it. He said that Comsearch had been hired to do a study on the problem.
Hastings also commented on rumors that the wind farm company was in financial trouble, and that the company was for sale.
"Right now, we have no new plans," Hastings said, adding that several projects had been placed on hold. "There is absolutely nothing substantial about us going bankrupt. "Even if we did, we have decommissioning bonds in place to remove them [the wind turbines]."
