Airport staff was advised about a month ago that the FAA is conducting an aeronautical study of approximately 34 wind turbines; the closest of which is 3.5 miles from the Byron Airport. The wind turbines are 499 feet tall and are all in Alameda County. The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) sent a letter to the FAA to ask for public hearings. While the wind turbines are not within the jurisdiction of Contra Costa County, concerns can still be voiced and recommendations can be made to protect the interests of Byron Airport.
