The proposed draft was sorely inadequate and many groups and individuals submitted comments . I included in my appendix a copy of the policy and procedures for wind farms from California b/c the requirements for bird surveys was thorough. NYS DEC is understaffed and funded in adequately. I believe as in the oil industry there are problems with design, maintenance, research, and oversight by appropriate government agencies. I try and not forget that many of these companies are driven by profit and not environmental concerns.
