1. Simulation of Deerfield Wind Project, Vermont (4 miles) Simulation by Northeast Wind

2. Simulation of 48-Turbine Wind Project in Maine (Since Revised) (7.7 miles) Simulation by National Park Service

3. Simulation of Kibby Expansion Wind Project, Maine (3 miles) Simulation by TRC Visually Sensitive Landscape Contexts: Ridgelines Water/Oceans

4. Early Simulation of Hoosac Wind Project, Massachusetts (telephoto view) Simulation by Northeast Wind

6. 18-Turbine Black Nubble Wind Project, Maine (Denied) Simulation by National Park Service

7. FAA Hazard Lighting

8. Simulation of 21-Turbine Lowell Wind Project, Vermont (6.8 miles) Prepared for Green Mountain Power by Landworks

9. Ensuring a Fair and Comprehensive Aesthetic Review Process (1) Recognize aesthetic concerns as legitimate. Honest and accurate simulations illustrating how the project will appear in the landscape. ► Worst case scenario: clear weather, unobstructed views, most scenic views, include the most proximate views ► Single frame images with all panorama views ► Local residents and officials define areas for simulations

10. Simulation of 5-turbine Georgia Mountain Wind Project, Vermont (portion) (.7 miles) Simulation by Saratoga Associates

11. Simulation of 5 turbine Georgia Mountain Wind Project, Vermont (portion) (.7 miles) Simulation by Saratoga Associates

12. Panorama Simulation of Georgia Mountain Wind Project, Vermont (.7 miles) Simulation by Saratoga Associates

13. Simulation of Wind Project in Maine (7.7 miles) Simulation by National Park Service

14. Panorama Simulation of Wind Project in Maine (7.7 miles) Simulation by T.J. DeWann Associates

15. Simulation of Lowell Wind Project, Vermont (1.2 miles) Simulation by Landworks

16. Ensuring a Fair and Comprehensive Aesthetic Review Process (continued) Clear, comprehensive, and well articulated assessment process which relates to how people perceive and value landscapes ► Avoid laundry list ► Focus on most sensitive viewing areas; ► Recognize locally important areas, not just state and national Examine a meaningful radius: ► 10 miles inland ► 20 miles ocean, larger projects, open landscapes (e.g. Midwest) Respond to legitimate concerns; modify the project

17. Turbine Relocation/Reduction A Simulation by Northeast Wind

18. Turbine Relocation/Reduction B Turbines set back from foreground peak Appear at lower elevation Simulation by Northeast Wind

19. Ensuring a Fair and Comprehensive Aesthetic Review Process (continued) Encourage Local and State planning: identify scenic values Energy Planning: Connect wind projects to actual reductions in GHG emissions. Fair monetary compensation (is beauty in the pocketbook?)

21. Roads and Clearing: Kibby Wind Project, Maine (year 1) Impacts will decrease after 5 years Impacts may be minimal when viewed from below May be a concern with highly sensitive viewing area above and in close proximity.
