Access is by Shell Canada Ltd. roads across private land. Shell Canada ordered CleareNET to refrain from using the roads until written permission had been obtained from the relevant landowners and lesees. The tower has been erected illegally. Obviously ClearNET is not sensitive to legality. ClearNET claimed to be unaware of any risk to birds.
Canadian regulations exclude environmental assessment of impact of most towers.
Local land use authorities are ill-informed and can take no responsibility for nationwide impacts. However Environment Minister David Anderson has taken an interest in the problem.
