Wind farm a first under new eagle kill rules
B E N D (AP) — A proposed
C entral O regon w ind project is
th e first in th e co u n try to be
considered for a perm it th at al
lows w ind turbines to kill a few
golden eagles so long as devel
opers m ake up for the loss, fed

T he W est B utté Power project
plan s to re tro fit p o w e r poles
w here wires are so close together
th a t golden eagles can stretch
their 7 -foot w ingspans and get
electrocuted.
T h e U.S. F ish an d W ildlife
Service said the retrofits could
m itigate the loss o f any golden
eagles killed by the 50-turbine
w ind farm east o f Bend.
T h e perm it w ould allow three
go ld en eagle deaths o v e r five
years and require n o n e t loss o f
the breeding population.
T h e agency said it w as the
first application it g o t u nder the
te rm s o f ru le s it a d o p te d in
2009 under the Bald and G olden
Eagle P rotection Act.

“a free-for-all th at kills hundreds

the details o f the p roposed W est

A lth o u g h surveys indicated

h ig h er elevation they p a tro l in
se a rc h o f prey, a b o u t 5,000
feet.
B ald eagles n e st a b o u t 10
miles from the project site, b u t
a federal official said they typi
cally focus on land n ear lakes
o r rivers.
“ So w e d o n ’t really expect
bald eagles to be using th at site,”
