Hi Aurelia,
Thanks again for arranging this wind energy meeting on wildlife/eagle permitting and conservation planning. Unfortunately, I will not be attending due to my mother falling ill so I am headed out of town. I have arranged to have Darryl Nirenberg with whom you have met attend, and Colin Hayes (former Senate Emery staff director), along with Michael Speerschneider from AWEA. Two wind energy company representatives yet to be identified may attend as well.
For your planning, they would like to discuss the following: 1. Permitting for wind energy projects under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act 2. Delivery and consideration of the Great Plains Habitat Conservation Plan
As I mentioned, they are really interested in conveying their position. Darryl and Colin are solid individuals and will help to steer the discussion for these folks. They will be looking for next steps and in my opinion, they need a broader coalition. Any advice you can provide would be great.
Last, AWEA's Term Sheet and a Sample General Permit program (for eagles) is attached.
Thanks again, Allison
