I chose Huron County, Michigan for my possible Wind farm location based on the BERR planning criteria.
NREL Resource potential - OUTSTANDING wind power classification - 8.0 - 8.8 m/s or 16.8 - 17.4 mph
Ornithology - Near Dabbling Duck fall migration route. On site monitoring should be conducted to further evaluate potential impacts.
Noise and Shadow Flicker - Isolated rural location - 10+/- miles from any significant population
Shipping - Does not interfere with any U.S. or Canadian shipping lanes
Landscape/Visual impact - none
