The Otter Creek Wind Farm has taken another step forward. 
Officials have submitted the project’s application to the province for a Renewable Energy Approval – once the application has been confirmed, the project will be open for public comment.
When it comes to the contentious issue of water wells in the area, officials with Otter Creek don’t expect that “either the construction or operation of the facilities will have any negative impact on water wells.”
The company says it plans to test active wells within a one kilometre radius of any key project infrastructure, including turbines, the substation, and meteorological tower, prior to construction.
The Otter Creek project would see 12 turbines built north of Wallaceburg.
