Dickinson County Concerned Citizens is a group of residents who have identified the imminent negative impact to individuals living near wind turbines.  Initially there were three proposed wind turbine projects being developed with proposed turbines 600 ft in height.

Our citizens’ health, safety and wellbeing must be preserved, protected, and not negatively impacted by these projects. The initial 2009 Dickinson County Ordinance Article #21 Conditional Uses Wind Energy Conversion Systems was revised in 2023. While there were multiple needed revisions, the items affecting our rural residents living near these turbines is not adequate. Ex: the current setback is 1600 feet from the dwelling and 50 dBA sound at the dwelling outside. Research verifies that under the current ordinance, there will be significant and direct impacts on the health of residents.
