Lands’ End Project StatementTo research and develop a proposal for implementing a significant alternative energy program on the Dodgeville campus. The program would consist of acquiring and installing a large wind turbine on the campus to offset the power needs of their operations.The proposal will include funding requirements and a strategy for approaching local and state lawmakers to encourage government cooperation and/or funding of the initiative.

Lands’ End Project ObjectivesConsider all possible sources for funding (federal, state, private, etc.)Engagement of professional resources in the alternative energy field to assist with development of proposalProvide a timeline for scheduled tasks involved in turbine installationIdentify all obstacles involved in projectCreate a community outreach plan

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) $650
Must complete Form 7460-1 for any object over 200 feet (turbine is 396 feet)Lands End campus is 6.75 miles away from Iowa County AirportFew anticipated problems with gaining FAA approvalMust submit Form 7460-1 at least 30 days before construction permit is applied forTimeframe: about 4 months

City Permits
Iowa County does not require any permits for construction of a wind turbineCity of Dodgeville: Chapter 17 Zoning Code states height limit of 45 feet Conditional Use PermitDesign Review ApplicationHold Conditional Use Hearing

Outside Financing
FOE Feasibility and Development GrantsFOE Large Industrial Grants
Application schedule could strongly influence construction schedule
Treasury Renewable Energy GrantsIf expired, seek the Production Tax Credit
Sales Tax and Property Tax ExemptionsRenewable Energy Buyback ProgramsCheck for updates with DSIRE

Post Construction Monitoring
DNR does not require approval for wind farms with total capacity less than 99MWEnvironmental Analysis and Review Specialist, Steve Ugoretz, proposed monitoring impactVolunteers from Lands’ End could record impacts of turbine on wildlife and report this to the DNR for future research

Where Do We Go From Here?
A detailed vision of the facilityContact parties with this vision to lay the groundwork for permitting, approvals, partnerships, etc.Establish working relationshipsApply for FOE feasibility and development grantsGOOD LUCK!
