According to a story in today's Providence Journal, the FAA notice regarding Portsmouth's proposed wind turbine is not nearly as dire as what moved on the AP wire. The issue was a plan to slighly relocate the tower south of the proposed location to provide more distance to a nearby water tower. While that met with resistance from the FAA, there does not seem to be any issue proceeding with the previous plan, Economic Development Committee chair Rich Talipsky is quoted as saying.

The agency is likely to signal its approval of a 336-foot tower at the original location within a few days of receiving the required engineering data verifying the height and the latitude and longitude of the tower, Talipsky said yesterday. — Via ProJo
