GLWC Wind Atlas Workgroup Workplan January 2010 - June 2011 Vision:
The Great Lakes Wind Collaborative will develop a GIS-based tool to facilitate timely and environmentally sensitive development of wind power facilities in the Great Lakes Region.
Purpose:
With appropriate GIS information, developers can locate areas that would provide good development opportunities while avoiding areas that are environmentally sensitive or otherwise less receptive to development (e.g. urban areas, local zoning restrictions, etc.). Resource agencies can identify environmentally sensitive areas that would be under pressure for development. Additionally, the atlas would provide a basis for all stakeholders work towards developing environmentally sustainable wind facilities. The intent of the Atlas would be to identify general areas that are relatively favorable or unfavorable for wind development. It would not be intended to substitute for actual on-site reviews to determine final suitability.
Objectives:
- The atlas will be as comprehensive as possible, providing information currently used by industry including but not limited to: wind speeds, wind energy, transmission capabilities, demand areas, local zoning, public lands, water depths; and environmental features including but not limited to: migration corridors, wildlife areas, breeding and spawning areas, and important viewsheds to serve the needs of the Great Lakes Wind Collaborative and its workgroups.
- The atlas will have two components: land-based and off-shore.
- The atlas will be available to all on the Internet while noting some data layers that are sensitive in nature may be restricted as warranted.
- Members of the Wind Atlas Workgroup will continue to refine and update the initial products to increase both additional data layers and more precise data to improve both their usefulness and accuracy.
Tasks:
I. Obtain through a data sharing agreement and publish datalayers related to the electric system (e.g.,
transmission lines, substations and power plants)
II. Develop and submit a proposal for GLRI funding to digitize existing bird and bat data and publish/disseminate new and existing bird and bat data through the online GL Wind Atlas.
III. Obtain and publish Important Birding Areas datalayer(s)
IV. Conduct a joint webinar with the Offshore Workgroup on the Lakebed Alternation Decision Support Tool. Explore possible partnerships with GLWC to expand the tool.
V. Conduct a webinar on TNC GIS project related to wind siting and location of sensitive species.
VI. Seek funding to improve, update and maintain the online GL Wind Atlas:
- a. Identify potential funders and partners.
- b. Develop update the DOE project proposal to add decision support tools to the online Great Lakes Wind Atlas.
VII. Host a webinar to all GLWC members demonstrating the online GL Wind Atlas.
- a. Develop and post instructions for using the online GL Wind Atlas in advance of the webinar 1
GLWC Wind Atlas Workgroup Workplan January 2010 - June 2011 VIII. Conduct a short survey to GLWC members on the usefulness of the online GL Wind Atlas and suggestions for improvements.
IX. Identify new data layers to publish online Approach:
Through project scoping and work plan development, the Wind Atlas Workgroup will identify - subject to review and concurrence by the GLWC Advisory Committee at-large - key parameters for this tool, including its overall purpose, objectives, and key components, and key considerations, such as the overall approach, time frame for development, who will house/maintain the tool and funding. The Great Lakes Commission (GLC) staff will work with the Wind Atlas Workgroup to carry out the actions and deliverables identified in the work plan.
