attributes; techniques to identify saddles, notches, and benches; and associations between bird utilization and topography may be included, for example. The report shall include adaptive management during and after Project Site construction using information gathered in the pre-construction assessment to guide possible Project modifications, mitigation, or the need for and design of post-construction studies; post-construction studies can test design modifications and operational activities to determine their effectiveness in avoiding or minimizing significant adverse impacts (USFWS, 2010b). The design of wind turbines shall minimize the use of above ground electrical cabling; be designed with solid surfaces that are not conducive to perching; not run when visibility is poor, such as at night and during periods of heavy fog; and be designed with low rotor speeds (20 rpm maximum). |
