Primarily, the Facility design has been updated to reflect a reduction in the number of turbines from 33 to 27 turbines. The Facility Area comprises the same: municipalities as previously identified.  On September 18, 2019, Bluestone Wind submitted an Application for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need ("CECPN") under Public Service Law Article 10 (the "Application"). Following one supplement, the Application was deemed compliant by the    Chair of the Siting Board on December 27, 2018. However, during the past year, as contemplated in the Application, and is typical for wind project development, the Applicant has continued to optimize the Facility layout. As a result, the Facility design has been updated to reflect a reduction in 6 turbine locations. As depicted on the attached map, the primary layout  changes can be summarized as follows:  1. Elimination of 6 turbines (T-11, T-16, T-19, T-22, T-30 and T-32) and the 2. T-1 has been shifted to comply with local setback provisions; 3.

Overall potential environmental impacts of the project have been reduced through the updated layout and elimination ofthe impacts associated with the 61 turbines total removed from the Facility design. In addition, the modification of the collection line crossing was in response to issues raised by parties to the proceeding. The Applicant is still in the process of re-analyzing the data with regards to the assessment oft the sound impacts associated with the Update and anticipates that an  additional update related to sound will be filed at a later date.
