The Hounsfield Wind Farm Project includes the construction and operation of up to 84 wind turbines, the installation and operation of associated collection lines (below grade and overhead), and related facilities including a docking facility, helipad, living quarters, parking areas and operations and maintenance facilities on Galloo Island. The Wind Farm Project is subject to review under State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), 6 NYCRR Part 617.

Upstate Power is coordinating the environmental review process with state and local agencies. On February 27, 2009 the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) accepted the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and on December 23, 2009 the NYS DEC issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). On March 3, 2010 NYS DEC issued findings.

Both the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Final Environmental Impact Statement can be accessed digitally from this website and from the NYS DEC website. Hard copies of both the DEIS and FEIS are available at public repositories established for the project.
