LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – On Thursday, proponents and opposers of an amendment that would cut back on wind turbine regulations testified in front of the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners.
The proposed amendment to the Lancaster County Zoning Regulations would increase the maximum amount of wind turbine noise permitted by the county to 42 decibels. Currently, the county allows a max 40 decibels of turbine noise during the day (7 am to 10 pm) and a max 37 decibels at night (10 pm to 7 am).
