    Environment Minister Bernard Davis says this release comes with 60 release conditions and 100 permits to be obtained by the company.

    Meanwhile, reporters took the opportunity to question Minister Davis after the announcement late yesterday afternoon. He says this release comes with 60 release conditions and 100 permits to be obtained by the company. Davis says 25 organizations and agencies, provincially and federally, have been  involved in the  assessment since the project was registered 2 years ago in June. He says in total, 174 days of public consultations were included in this process and they received a lot of public feedback. He says the 60 release conditions can be broken down into three categories that include preconstruction, construction, and  for life of project like water monitoring. Davis says there will be a 1km buffer zone where wind turbines can not be erected near a residence.
