Wind Turbine Location

I chose this location based on many factors that meet the criteria for where a wind turbine should be located. I initially was drawn to this area because of the high wind velocity that is created in the area which gives it a wind speed between 7.0-7.5 meters per second. Also I looked at the flyway zone of the migrating birds. The bird most affected by the wind turbine would be the dabbling duck which maintains a migratory pattern throughout all of Ohio's lake erie borders. Therefore I looked to minimize the damage of migratory birds and used the route that was less flown by the birds. Also I took into account the visual impact which would be minimal due to a smaller tourism area around the area of the windmill. This is because it is outside the reaches of both Toledo and Sandusky which would be the main tourist spots nearest to the mill. It is also very near the shore and therefore would not affect shipping routes and since this area is not a major port would not affect imports or exports. Also since it would be located on the lake, noise and light flicker would not be a problem for the surrounding area.
