The Environmental Review Report is currently being reviewed by lead Ministries to determine if an elevation to an independent environmental assessment by the Province will be approved; and whether a Federal Panel Review will be approved by the Federal Government. These indepth studies would provide independent, peer review studies by professionals assessing the project against current Federal and Provincial requirements.

• at the recent Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing in late July, 2007, a few elements – such as setbacks – were negotiated. However, approval for the the Wolfe Island Wind Turbine Project still has a long way to go. The province and then the federal government need to approve the many facets and possible environmental consequences of this power plant. For instance, the quiet tranquil environment of Wolfe Island, as well as impact the health, welfare and safety of people due to noise and shadow flicker could be impacted. Environmental impacts to people, wildlife, water tables/wells, and wind systems will be irrevocably changed. 

•Regulation 116.01 is currently being reviewed by the Provincial Government. A Noise Study Report was to have been released, January, 2008.

•  The original plan was for 24 turbines when developer CREC bought out GAIA. The subsequent proposal submitted to Council was for 86 turbines, without an Environment Screening Report or feasibility study to support a massive number.

•  Towers are 415 ft high and rotors are 260 ft. across. The size of the turbines is the highest and largest Wind Farm in Canada. Example: 4-6 x the height of a typical farm silo; as tall as or taller than the 1000 Island Sky deck. The rotor disc alone spans 1 square acre!

•  Wind power is not reliable or efficient (see About Turbines section)

•  The developer is providing money, under the Amenities Agreement, as a compensation package to mitigate the adverse effects the turbine project will have on Wolfe Island. (reference Amenities Agreement, 2006. i.e.: " . . .in recognition of this impact and to compenate for any adverse effect that the Wolfe Island Wind Plant may have, directly or indirectly, on thet Municipaility and its residents, CREC has agreed to provide certain amenities and other assurances to the Municipality in accordance with the terms of this agreement.) This agreement was not provided to the public until one year later).

•  Council has still not come to a decision around how the amenities agreement funds will be allotted and whether it will be shared between the Islands under the General Revenues which spits revenue between the Islands–or if at all;
