Transport Canada has issued an order requiring the eight wind turbines near Cedar Springs be removed by the end of this year.
The organization originally issued a letter requesting “voluntary compliance” last year.
In a release sent out by the municipality, Chatham-Kent mayor Randy Hope, says,“there is no safety issue so we need to change the regulation rather than force the removal of the turbines.”
The Municipality had been waiting for a reply from Transport Canada on this proposal and was surprised this week to learn that Transport Canada had taken this new step of issuing letters demanding that the turbines be removed by December 31, 2014.
The affected wind turbines are in a “no fly zone” south of the airport.
It is expected that GDF SUEZ, the owner of the affected turbines, will formally object to the order from Transport Canada and seek a hearing before the Minister of Transport through the process laid out in the Aeronautics Act.
