Document Description
Development of a modified wind power plant known as the Buena Vista Wind Energy Project, located in the Byron Hills area of southeastern Contra Costa County. Under the proposed repowering program all of the existing 179 turbines within the project site, including previously retrofitted turbines, will be removed to be replaced with fewer new, larger, more efficient turbines. All of the sites where existing turbines are removed will be reclaimed to agricultural use by removing all above-ground construction and covering any remaining foundations and other systems with a minimum of three feet of soil suitable for agricultural use.
