Residents press developer on plans for blades, salvage and cumulative contamination risks
Summary
Public commenters raised long‑term disposal questions for blades and turbine components, fears about PFAS and cumulative contamination across multiple projects, and requested clarity on where salvage and waste would be taken at decommissioning.
During public comment several residents asked where blades, towers and other components would be taken at the end of the project life and warned of cumulative contamination risk across dozens of projects. One commenter asked whether blades and tower material would be recycled or simply stockpiled, citing experiences in other states where industrial sites were left derelict.
The developer representative said waste and salvage would not remain on landowner property and that removal obligations are part of leases and the decommissioning process, but acknowledged that recycling or disposal locations have not yet been determined and would be addressed later in the planning process.
