惠特曼县禁止在关键地标7英里范围内建立风电场,理由是环境和视觉问题, 规则将于2026年6月28日到期. Whitman County banned wind farms within seven miles of key landmarks, citing environmental and visual concerns, with rules set to expire June 28, 2026.

惠特曼县专员批准了限制风力农场开发的新规则,禁止在Kamiak Butte七英里以内的项目以及Steptoe Butte和Palouse Falls等州立公园。 Whitman County commissioners approved new rules restricting wind farm development, banning projects within seven miles of Kamiak Butte and state parks like Steptoe Butte and Palouse Falls. 这一行动经过将近一年的暂停后,旨在解决居民提出的环境和视觉关切,他们反对在Pullman附近实施拟议的45个涡轮停机坪项目。 The move, following a nearly year-long moratorium, aims to address environmental and visual concerns raised by residents opposing a proposed 45-turbine project near Pullman. 条例还要求将涡轮机从未经同意的地主地产线拖回其高度至少六倍于未经同意地主地产线。 The regulations also require turbines to be set back at least six times their height from nonconsenting landowners’ property lines. 支持者称此决定为地方控制和自然保护的胜利，开发商警告称，像EFSEC这样的州级机构可能会推翻相关规定。 While supporters hailed the decision as a win for local control and natural preservation, developers warn state agencies like EFSEC could override the rules. 县暂时禁止新风电项目到2026年6月28日到期. The county’s temporary ban on new wind projects expires June 28, 2026.
