Wind energy facilities; providing setback requirements for wind towers; establishing decibel limits for nonparticipating properties. Emergency.

SB 1026 establishes new setback requirements for wind energy facilities in Oklahoma, requiring tower bases to be at least 2,000 feet or five times the blade length (whichever is greater) from residential homes and nonparticipating properties. It also limits noise from wind facilities to a maximum of 40 decibels at the property line of nonparticipating properties. The bill further requires wind energy projects to obtain military aviation safety clearances (including FAA "Determination of No Hazard" documentation) before construction to avoid conflicts with military operations. These provisions directly affect wind energy developers and landowners near proposed facilities, aiming to address proximity concerns and aviation safety.
