Construction Permit For Dakota Range Wind Project Approved By PUC PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission approved a permit with numerous conditions for the construction of the Dakota Range Wind Project, a wind energy facility in Grant and Codington counties capable of producing up to 302.4 megawatts of electricity. The project is expected to include up to 72 turbines and associated facilities located within an approximately 44,500-acre project area 10 miles northeast of Watertown, South Dakota. Dakota Range expects to complete the $380 million facility in 2021. Br discussed The commissionoadca sandrvoted on the condite onlin 10 ad tions to be imposed on the permit at a July e.cohoc m meeting in Pierre. Aircraft detection lighting, detecting and reacting to ice conditions on turbine blades, and avian mortality monitoring are among issues addressed in the 42 conditions. “As commissioners in a quasi-judicial role, we are bound to follow what is spelled out before us in state law and to base our decision on facts and evidence,” PUC Chairperson Kristie Fiegen explained. “The conditions we arrived at address landowner protections and the applicant’s obligations,” she said. PUC Vice Chairman Gary Hanson stated: “The comprehensive conditions we imposed on the permit will ensure the facility is built and operated in a manner that is responsible and fair to all parties as well as the environment.” “State law lays out the criteria in which a permit must be granted. I believe this project has met that burden,” Commissioner Chris Nelson said. “I extend my thanks to the PUC staff, intervenors and Dakota Range for the information provided to the commission during this process.” Dakota Range filed its application with the PUC on Jan. 24, 2018. State law requires the commission to make a decision within six months of receiving a wind energy 2x1 facility application. A public input hearing was held in Waverly in March. An evidentiary hearing was held in Pierre in June. Parties to the docket included Dakota Range, PUC staff and 12 intervenors. Intervenors Kristi Mogen of Twin Brooks and Teresa Kaaz of South Shore were active participants, representing themselves at the formal hearing and related proceedings. The Dakota Range Wind Project docket can be viewed 3x1 on the PUC's website at www.puc.sd.gov, Commission Actions, Electric Dockets, 2018 Electric Dockets, EL18003 - In the Matter of the Application by Dakota Range I, LLC and Dakota Range II, LLC for a Permit of a Wind Energy Facility in Grant County and Codington County, South Dakota, for the Dakota Range Wind Project. Broadcasteronline.c om Broadcasteronline.c om BroadcasterOnline.com Century Club Announces Oldest Living South Dakotan The South Dakota Health Care Association’s Century Club, along with KELOLAND Television, is pleased to announce Vivian Grover as the 2018 Centenarian of the Year! Born in February of 1911, Vivian is 107 years old, and the oldest member of the Century Club! “Congratulations to Vivian on being honored as our Centenarian of the Year,” said LuAnn Severson, Century Club Coordinator. “Her lifetime of experience is an inspiration for all of us.” Vivian grew up on a farm outside of Dover, Minnesota, getting up early every morning to milk cows and do other chores, before walking a mile to school. She moved into town and lived with her aunt to attend high school. She met the man who would become her husband, Harry Grover, while visiting her brother in Rapid City. They were married November 30, 1931. Together, they worked a ranch, then later owned Grover’s store in Keystone, and worked for Donaldson’s department store in Rapid City. Vivian also was a deputy clerk for the magistrate court, an especially notable achievement because Vivian’s formal education ended after two years of high school. She remains very proud of her service with the court. Vivian’s husband passed away in 1987. She currently resides at Fountain Springs Healthcare in Rapid City. Vivian helped raise her husband’s three children in a blended family, and has 10 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, 57 great-great-grandchildren, and 12 great-greatgreat grandchildren. Throughout her life, Vivian has loved to travel, including visits to England and France, as well as bus trips around the country, cruises, and fishing trips. She went whitewater rafting in Colorado when she was 83 and hiked Black Elk Peak every year until she was 84 years old. She believes that her active lifestyle has been one of the reasons she has lived so long. “Do what you want to do,” is Vivian’s advice to others. “I’m just thankful I am here today, and that I can drink coffee, eat, and have a good night’s sleep.” The Century Club was created by the South Dakota Health Care Association to recognize South Dakotans age 100 or older, both for their longevity and their contributions to our state. Over 1,200 South Dakotans have been inducted into the Century Club since its founding in 1997. The Century Club is, as its name states, a club. Therefore, there may be older people in the state that have not yet been inducted by a family member or loved one into the Century Club. The Century Club is open to any resident of South Dakota upon the celebration of his or her 100th birthday. There are no dues and each inductee receives a specially designed certificate and membership card. Once a year, the current oldest living Century Club Member is recognized as the “Centenarian of the Year.” Submit names for the Century Club by visiting www.sdhca.org and downloading a Century Club application or call LuAnn Severson, Century Club Coordinator, at 1-800-952-3052. 4x1 BroadcasterOnline.com “Get Connected!” Part-time Positions available Evenings and weekends.
