(CENTRALIA, WA) -- Lewis County Commissioners Monday approved a memorandum of understanding with Thurston County for the proposed Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project.
The proposed site straddles the Lewis-Thurston County line. The wind turbines would be located on Weyerhaeuser timberlands.
Lewis County Community Development Director Lee Napier says the agreement designates Thurston County as the lead agency under SEPA.
The current proposal is for 51 wind turbines with a total capacity of up to 176 megawatts. Most of the turbines will be located in Lewis County.
