The costs are summarized in Table 1. M A detailed discussion of the proposed electric transmission construction and its potential impacts are found in Chapter 5. A short comparison between the Freedom site and the Kaukauna site and the power plant impacts can be found in Table 2. The community surrounding each power plant site is an area that contains farms, farmsteads, and residences not associated with farming. Both sites were agriculturally zoned land until very recently.
Land use surrounding the sites is mainly agricultural, but there are residences close to each site.
Visual changes in the landscape would be notable because of the height, size, and materials proposed for the power plant facilities. Drainage ditches and other small wetlands occupy parts of the Freedom site. Noise mitigation would be necessary at both sites. The greatest sound levels would come from the cooling towers. Air Fox Energy has submitted an air pollution control permit application for each power plant site.
