Wind Developer using a flawed Sound Study

 Back in February of last year BP wind energy purchased the rights to Acciona's St. Lawrence wind farm and have combined  the Cape Vincent Wind farm with the St. Lawrence Wind farm ,  touting it as  a "new and improved" wind farm.

 To give BP's Cape Vincent Wind Farm credibility  Project developer Richard Chandler has been promoting the fact that the ST. Lawrence Wind farm's FEIS  had been accepted by the Cape Vincent Planning board.
 However ,the Planning Board that approved Acciona's FEIS was under the tutelage of a wind lease conflicted Planning Board Chairman.
Prior to this approval there had been controversy because  the Town of Cape Vincent's sound consultant had issues with the methodology used by the developers sound consultant in their noise  study for the St. Lawrence Wind project.

  Planning Board Chair Richard Edsall accepted Acciona’s FEIS, against the recommendations of the Lyme PB and ignored the noise recommendations of the town's  own consultant, Cavanaugh Tocci.

 Below is a  letter that was sent by Tim Conboy , Acciona's Senior Project  Manager for the St. Lawrence wind project,to Planning Board Chair  Richard Edsall ,telling him what position is supported by Acciona.
 Is Conboy subtly telling Edsall what position to support as well?
