SB429

Oklahoma SB429 establishes setback requirements for wind energy facilities to protect residential dwellings and nonparticipating properties.

Oklahoma SB429 amends setback requirements for wind energy facilities, stipulating that no wind energy facility may be constructed if the base of any tower is located at a distance of less than one and one-half nautical miles from the nearest point on the outside wall of any residential dwelling or nonparticipating property. The bill also mandates that wind energy facility owners must submit a Determination of No Hazard and documentation resolving adverse impacts to the Department of Defense before construction begins, with penalties for non-compliance.
