A preliminary hearing is being held in Chatham today into the North Kent Wind 1 project.
The North Kent Wind project, which received renewable energy approval earlier this summer, would see as many as 36 turbines built in the former Chatham Township.
Kevin Jakubec, head of the group Water Wells Frist, has filed an appeal, saying he wants to see more studies done to ensure construction won’t have any negative effects on groundwater.
The municipality’s legal counsel is also in attendance to raise citizens’ concerns about wind turbines and water wells.
Construction on the project is slated to start in 2017.
