Thank you for this information especially as many wind turbines are on granite bedrock in Scotland. I shall inform my EHO who took part in the Arecleoch Extension inquiry as there are many concerns re the private water supplies being impacted by wind turbine construction.

One area not yet covered – windfarm construction on granite bedrock and the generation and impact on pws of the potential for incresed radon in water supplies and the environment dependant water sources? Thinking of blasting from borrow pits, constructed roads with granite sourced rock, rock dust and use in turbine bases. Then consequent radon air levels being i creased within towers considered as confined spaces.

My Michigan township is 65% prime farmland and they want to construct 700′ turbines in 2 small communities. We are 100% reliant on wells for our water. Thank you for sharing this information. If you have any updates, please let me know.

Glad it is helpful. Good luck with the objection. Which windfarm application is it?

I’m actually referencing most of it in an Ecology objection to the Teviot Wind Farm proposal.
