USGS Fort Collins Science Center 05/06/2010 WY_Wind_Turbine_Locations_2009_Currentness vector digital data withheld WY_Wind_Turbine_Locations_2009_Currentness The Wyoming wind turbine data set was developed for the project "Seasonal predictive habitat models for Greater Sage-grouse in Wyoming". This project is aimed at developing spatially-explicit seasonal distribution models for Sage-Grouse in Wyoming, which will provide resource managers tools for conservation planning. These specific data are being used for assessing the impact of disturbance resulting from wind energy development within Wyoming on sage-grouse populations. Additionally, this data will also support the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI). WLCI is a long-term, science-based, collaborative effort to ensure that the Southwest Wyoming's wildlife and its habitats are sustained over time with increased land-use pressures. Additional information about WLCI can be found at www.wlci.gov or in the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative Science Workshop Proceedings (U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Report 2008-5073 found on-line at http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5073/). These data represent locations of wind turbines found within Wyoming as of 08/01/2009. The attributes are estimates based on what information could be found via American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and miscellaneous on-line reports. Caution should be used when using the data attributes. The locations are derived from NAIP August 2009 true color imagery and have a positional accuracy of approximately +/-5 meters. Because some wind turbines were under construction, under construction wind turbine locations will likely be less accurate, and therefore caution is required while using these data. The original purpose for developing the data presented here is for evaluating the effects of wind developments on the seasonal habitat use by Greater Sage-grouse. Additionally, these data will also provide a planning tool for the WLCI Science Team, and other wildlife and habitat related projects underway at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center. Specifically, this data will be used to support quantifying disturbances of the landscape as related to wind energy as well as quantifying indirect disturbances to flora and fauna. en 08/00/2010 ground condition Complete None planned -110.838642 -104.879066 43.134482 41.119975 -110.838642 -104.879066 41.119975 43.134482 None Wind Energy Wind Turbine Wyoming Wind Energy utilitiesCommunication None USA Wyoming None August 2009 There are no access constraints for this data set.

These are estimates and will not always hold true to what was installed on the ground. These items were checked for: Unlabeled Features: All features labeled when information available Tests Completed on: 04/06/2010 Description of how tests performed: Entire data set checked for topology errors. All features that needed to be labeled have been verified by examining all records. Description of Attribute Completeness: All features were labeled but caution should be used when using attributes, because information derived from various sources. Description of Positional Accuracy Completeness: Locations of turbines estimated from heads-up digitizing off NAIP 2005 and NAIP 2009. Wind turbines locations are based on the best approximated location of the wind turbine's base. This was not always easily accomplished, because some wind turbines were under construction. Estimated accuracy is +/- 5 meters. Accuracy of heights are possibly not exact because the size of rotors are sometimes customized for a site.
