|
Any additional
costs to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from requiring a
visual impact assessment (VIA) from an expedited wind energy development
located within 8 miles of a scenic resource of state or national significance
are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted
resources. The requirement that any
rules enacted with regard to expedited wind permitting be defined as major
substantive rules will increase DEP rulemaking costs. |
