Summary
Five conservation groups have asked the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to formally reconsider its finding that a proposed wind project in Skamania County would not harm the northern spotted owl. In a letter to the agency sent Wednesday, the groups cite a biologists report that nine owl sightings near the proposed wind turbine sites were documented in surveys last year.
Washingtons Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council is scheduled to announce its recommendation on the controversial wind project at a special meeting in Stevenson on Thursday. The meeting is scheduled for 2 to 6 p.m. at the Hegewald Center. The agency has not released a final environmental impact statement, and no testimony will be taken.See the full content of this document
