The MPP for Huron Bruce has called on the province to shut down all industrial wind turbines that fail to comply with noise regulations.
Lisa Thompson says test results released April 7 indicate that the noise levels of turbines near two Huron Bruce residences exceed Ministry of Environment noise guidelines.
The results also acknowledged the possibility that tonal noises are being produced.
However, instead of agreeing to shut down the turbines, Environment Minister Glen Murray claimed the law is being enforced and complaints are being dealt with quickly.
"It has taken two years get these results. The next round of testing could take at least another year and a half," says Thompson. "I don't know what this minister thinks quick means, but suffering for three and a half years before anything gets done doesn't sound quick to me."
"The Black and Stachura families as well as other families across Ontario have been suffering for far too long from the impacts of IWTs which were built too close to their homes." said Thompson. "The Minister needs to acknowledge the test results and once and for all do right by the people of Ontario affected by industrial wind turbines."
She calls on the Minister to acknowledge the test results, and do the right thing.
