Trust OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Seven central Oklahoma landowners filed a federal law- suit against several companies planning wind farms, express- ing concern for the health and safety of local residents. The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Oklahoma City by the Okla- homa Wind Action Association names several companies as- sociated with Apex Clean En- ergy Inc. The Virginia-based company and its partners plan to construct a 300-megawatt project in northern Canadian County and southern King- fisher County. Terra Walker, an Okarche landowner involved in the law- suit, said studies show people within three miles of a wind farm can suffer from health effects. She said the wind farm plans include 58 turbines within three miles of her home. “Our goal is to obtain some safe setbacks from the wind turbines,” Walker said. “We just want them to be a safe dis- tance to where our health and safety isn’t in jeopardy.” She said litigation is the only option because there aren’t any regulations. “We don’t necessarily want to stop the wind farm by any means. We just feel that there’s no regulation in Oklahoma right now, and the wind com- panies come in and place them as close as they want to your homes,” Walker said. Those involved in the lawsuit are also requesting protection from the loss of use and value of land. They claim Apex has negotiated deals without con- sulting neighbors. Kent Dougherty, director of development for Apex, told The Oklahoman he couldn’t comment on the lawsuit. “However, Apex welcomes the opportunity to work with local communities and has a proven track record of making good-faith efforts to address community concerns,” Dough- erty said.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Seven central Oklahoma landowners filed a federal law-suit against several companies planning wind farms, express-ing concern for the health and safety of local residents.
