EnXco's proposal to build a 72-turbine wind farm on the south side of Aspen Mountain in Sweetwater County is raising concerns on the impact to wildlife and hunting. The project would generate up to 250 megawatts of electricity. While project proponents say the wind farm would not be visibile from Rock Springs or Green River, several county commissioners say the area it would be located in is full of wildlife and used by hunters. The company says it is drafting an environmental impact statement. The county will have the opportunity to provide input, along with studies on wildlife, cultural and recreational impact.
