Average wind speed at Station MKGM4 at Muskegon, MI (to the northeast of site) is 11 knots (12.7 mph)with gusts of 15 knots (17.3 mph). It's beyond the BERR recommended 200 to 300 meter distance fromdwellings to minimize noise pollution. It is also beyond the BERR recommended 400 to 800 meter distance to avoid adverse reactions to Shadow Flicker. Major shipping routes out of Chicago and Milwaukee are to the southwestand west, respectively. The site is a good compromise with regards to major bird migration corridors,and should be minimally impactful to most species. Its proximity to land should help minimize buildingand transportation costs.
