This document contains a wide range of information contained in a single, downloadable interactive document. The document allows easy access to the following content:
- Web links and reports
- Sample ordinances, permits, agreements and maps
- Traffic calculator to quantify the traffic impact on roads
- Policy options to recapture roadway maintenance costs
- Experience from current or past projects
- Research information
County engineers in other states, other road authorities, and wind power developers themselves also may find this information valuable. While this tool is focused on LWECS’s, it is broad enough that it could also be used when a county is dealing with any other enterprise that affects the roads under its jurisdiction.
The interactive PDF discussed above can be downloaded here:

In addition, the Traffic Calculator Tool (to help quantify impacts to roads) can be found here:
