BP~ PIP ~ Acciona Drafted SLW Site Plan requirements

September 17, 2012 Bp Alternative energy submitted an application to pursue their proposed Cape Vincent Wind farm project under an Article 10 Process.

 As part of this process they are required to submit a Public involvement Plan (PIP).

 In their PIP, as an example of their prior community involvement BP included news letters that they sent to their leaseholders and letters sent by Acciona’s project developer (Tim Conboy) to their lease holders.
 This actually demonstrates their lack of involvement with our community at large.

 The letter below from BP’s PIP ,is an example of Acciona’s prior public involvement ~ a directive to their lease holders to challenge the wind economics committee during the Nov.18/2012,  town board meeting.
 Conboy even provided a fact sheet so lease holders can fulfill their "help Acciona" clause in their contracts.

 Additionally, note in the cover letter Conboy admits to drafting the site plan requirements (outline) that the PB acted on, but did not review or consider.

Below are the fact sheets  Acciona's Project Developer included in the letter to their lease holders.

Link to BP, PIP containing the letter cited above
