§ 1500-17-050. Abandonment and Removal of Facilities

Latest version.

A.

A mini-wind or small wind energy system that ceases to produce electricity on a continuous basis for 18 months shall be considered abandoned. The Director may request documentation and/or affidavits from the property owner regarding the system's usage in order to make a determination as to the date of abandonment or the date on which other violation(s) occurred.

B.

Upon a determination of abandonment or other violation(s), the County shall send a notice to the property owner indicating the property owner shall remove the mini-wind or small wind energy system and all associated facilities, and remediate the site to its approximate original condition within 90 days of notice by the County, unless the County determines the facilities must be removed in a shorter period to protect public safety. Alternatively, if the violation(s) can be addressed by means short of removing the small wind energy system and restoring of the site, the County may advise the property owner of such alternative means of resolving the violation(s).
